 A picture that we took after the Malam Kebudayaan performance... Hey everyone! I went to this camp, Kem Padu Anak M'sia at Hutan Lipur Ulu Bendul, Negeri Sembilan from the 9th till 13th November. It was organized by the jabatan perpaduan, mainly to promote unity among nations. Stuff like that. There, I met a lot of new friends from other places. I really missed them all...If only we could all 're-gather' one day... It's as if I've known them for years! Even though it was only a 5-day-camp, I really enjoyed myself. On the first day, we Sarawakians boarded a flight to KL then drove to the hutan. It was lunch time then and after lunch we were told which tent to move in to. (I was in Kampung Harmoni) My tent-mates were all Chinese but from different states, Kelantan, Terengganu and Johor. I did not have a hard time talking to them. They were friendly enough! I thought that the Johor girl looked like Sonia, another friend of mine, even her voice sounded the same! ( a long lost twin sister?) Then for the rest of the day was the ice breaking session. It was kinda cool and fun. We were 'dibahagikan' into groups - my group was No.5. Each group had to come up with a logo, mission and vision. I volunteered to draw the logo for my group, but the idea of it was from another guy . I kinda like my own work though. ;D Second day. Morning was a bore for me. We had lessons about nilai murni if I'm not mistaken. Moral lessons... like in school.... Oh gawd! I was half sleeping and half listening then, thank God I didn't get caught by all the facilitators. We learnt a dance too -chicken dance! Haha, used that as warm ups. In the afternoon, it was absolute fun and joy!!!! haha..Then, We played Flying Fox (loved that one best!) and Excelling. I didn't do so well in Excelling though, nervous broke down that time.. After that was Treasure Hunt. My group did quite well here. I kinda like the part decorating the Prince and Princess with leaves (crown) and stones(diamond rings). Hah! Its like bullying them in a way.. At night, we watched a show on Kemerdekaan. Very impressive yet very boring. Third day. Again, morning time was boring. We had Sejarah lesson. (Kill me!) Then after that we played a game on Rukun Negara. It's kinda like musical chair. But we were immobile then, we only had to pass around some paper plates that consisted smth about RN. The ones who were holding the plates gotta answer some questions when the music stopped. I nearly got one of the plates during the first round, but thanks to my not-so-steady hand, my friend got the plate. Pity her. Ok, I admit that this is kinda lame, but its great fun actually. After some time of rest, we had this thing - Water Confident at the lake. (The lake stinks! Its greeeen ,man.)There were two obstacles to overcome, one is like swimming with life saving jacket and the other is pulling a rope while you swim along. I don't know the actual name for those games, but again it was fun. Then, it was the Obstacle Run! We had 8 stations if I'm not wrong, but I only accomplished 6 of them. Thanks to that accident! Yea..I fell down when I was playing the Monkey Bar. Its not like falling down to the ground, but I actually sank down that water(you wouldn't want to know what kind of water it is! trust me....) Somehow my hand slipped during my third try and I lost balance so down the water I went! And it's not over yet, I knocked on the wall and my feet kicked something sharp yet spongy, what on earth was that was still a mystery to me till now. The next thing I know, I swallowed the water (gross.) Luckily I didnt faint. hehe..It was quite some time until the facis pulled me up. Maybe they had the shock of their life? My friend (from Malacca) whom watched me fall said it was really scary. Owh kay? Didn't know that it was that terrifying, not as if it's a ghost story or what. But I only felt the pain after I was on land. It was really painful, seriously. Couldn't believe I just cried it out, as I told myself not to. Guess i really hurts, especially the waist. Ouch! And for the rest of the day, I was sort of alone, except for some facis but not friends around me. The facis were worried that I might have a fracture or smth so they took me to the hospital. Man... It's been so long since I've been to a hospital... Thank God I didn't have any major injuries, but it still hurts!That night, I didn't sleep with my tent mates. I slept at the urus setia place instead. I later found out that my friends spent the night practising for a dance for the Malam Kebudayaan, yet I was there resting my life. I really envied them.... The next day, after I woke up, ate my breakfast and back to sleep again. That was the most boriiiiiing day! Sleep, eat, sleep, eat, as I couldnt do much. I was really amazed at how my friends and even some that I didn't know took care of me. I even had problem walking, what more can you expect? But I did went to the Closing Ceremony. It was really interesting. and smokey. They put up fireworks, and the smoke was really attractive! Night time, I felt better and I spent my last night with my friends. Yay! They were dancing ChaCha during Mlm Kebudayaan. Too bad I couldn't dance. I admit that I was jealous of them, but I supported them in my heart anyway. I was beginning to feel better when the night comes, because of the joy and fun from my friends? Probably. I began to cheer up more. I enjoyed the shows, even tho I wasn't in it. That night, we were allowed to stay up till 1 am. We spent the time signing autographs on t shirts and on bags. It was all so fun that I forgot about my pain! Finally, I slept with my tent mates once again. I didn't care much, since it was the last night that I'll spend with them... Last DAY!!! This day, no more activities except folding and keeping the tents. I didn't know how, but the pain was back again!I hate it! I couldn't help them with that, as all I can do is, you know - rest. Sighz... And when the bus was there, I cried! Really. It was really sad to leave them... Our flight back was the late night flight so we stopped by at Nilai to do some shopping. I didn't buy anything much though. But seeing the amount of the things both my guru pengiring and some Iban mates bought, I really laughed my way down to Kuching.. (You'll be amazed if you know about it) XD How I wish we could stay there for just another day!....... PS I miss ya all... :) Labels: holidays |
