Last Friday, the librarian board had a camp at some isolated place in Ulu Langat. A lot of us didn't want to go to the camp because of exams, stuffs and etc. Well, we tried debating with the teacher advisors for the past few weeks but only a few have a super solid reason as in why they cannot make it for the camp. Well, me and my friends need to go lo. When we reached there, our minds were like, "Is this the place?" OH MY GOSH!!! Is being heard in every corner. The place is so isolated and it really sucks at our first impression. Oh my, we are going to suffer.... We thought to ourselves.

And then we got down from the bus with our luggages. Then we assembled in a hall. There were 64 of us. Then we got to know the facilitators. The leader is En. Khairul. Next, we were broken into groups of 4. I was in Group 4. Then each group have to come out with a group name. A,B,C and D. Then we discussed among ourselves and then A- Adventurous, B- Bravo, C- Champion and D- Dedication. I was in group Dedication. Then we settled down to our dorm. In another large place there were 60 beds. Then we played a game of icebreaker. Not really nice so won't elaborate so much. LOL.

Ok, then we had our dinner, with full discipline. We cannot talk to each other or marks will be deducted. The leaders of each group has to play a very important role and every meal they have to be the last to take food and drinks and say "Jemputlah makan semua". Ok then we got back into the hall. The next game takes our guts to do it. Each group which consists of 16 people must stand up on the chair on the stage, facing the back and lie down. There will be people down there supporting (team mates). Luckily the "fattest guy" in the board is not in our group. LOL. Then it was around 12.00 a.m. The facees asked us to take a cloth to blindfold us as they are bringing us to the "forest". And so all of us were blindfolded and then we hold each others shoulders. The facees will lead the 4 groups to somewhere. And as we walk, the person behind us is gone. One by one we are all placed in different places by the facees. Then we sat there for one hour. The facees tried their best to scare us but we knew it was a fake. We scare them instead. Try their best to do ghost sounds. haha. Then when the blindfolds were opened, we realised that we were actually at the field that we usually assemble at.

Day 2- Tiring Day

We had to wake up at 6.30. Then we did morning exercise. Star jump dunno do how many times. Coz need to do serentak. Then had our breakfast. Then the next activity is quite fun. Its another blindfold game. With an obstacle course 8 team mates has to go in and the other 8 has to direct them. Once kena any objects, then the people outside have to go in and save them or tag them. It was kinda noisy and messy because team mates are shouting directions and you must know the correct voice. Some groups are very cruel as they tried to distract other groups by shouting different instructions. LOL. Then we played a game of making the longest line using the objects we have on our body. And every group began to take out their shoelaces, shoe, socks, specs, watch, phone and even clothes. Then when really no more items, then everyone without their shirt lie down on the floor to form the line. The floor was HARD!!! And it was really hot. We got fried like dried fish. xD

Then in the afternoon we went into the forest and learned how to survive in the jungle if we are lost. The type of plants that we can eat for survival and plants we cannot eat. Then coming down to the forest is the hard part. No matter what shoe you wear, you will eventually slip down unless you have the skill to go down. I slipped and fell a few times as this is the first I enter a forest. haha. Many ppl slipped also and got there track bottoms dirty. Then we reached a river and we cross it. The current is strong and I will never forget the super cooling and refreshing feeling on my legs. Two people lost their specs. Kesian. Hmm.... Then we reached a part where the facee leading my group asked us to try to eat a yellow kinda small plant. It looks nice though. I did not eat because I know it is a trick but some curious ppl go and try and guess what, IT IS THE BEST MINT IN THE WORLD!!! hahaha. Its the mint used in toothpastes. hahaha. I was lucky.

Then we took our bath, had tea and then it is time for Orientaring. A treasure hunting game that requires the skills of a compass. Everyone was running here and there. Then after that we had BBQ dinner where we are given the freedom to talk. The ayam bakar was AWESOME!!! I regret don't dare to eat fish because I have a phobia. I choked on fish bone when I was a small boy. So painful then since then don't dare to eat fish with bones anymore... We were given time to come out with an act. Every group did their best and all of them were so funny. I will post the videos soon.

Then when we thought we can rest, suddenly the facees tells us that we will be jungle trekking. We were like WHAT!? !@#*#%*(&*)^ SERIOUS AR??? I scared la is being heard around the air. The time then was 12.45 a.m. And this time we have to go up one by one without any torchlight, just the full moon. We said our prayers and each and everyone of us went up one by one. I was a bit scared though. haha. 1.00 a.m. in the jungle you know???? After that, we go down as a group. It was dark and slippery. Many people fell down and some slide down all the way. Thank God there were no injuries or any mishaps.

Ok, now we get to finally sleep at 2.30 a.m. Then we need to wake up at 6.30 again.

Day 3- Separate Ways

The next morning all of us were already dead. And the final activity is the best. That is WAR!!! Yes. War in the jungle. Trooper A vs Trooper B. Group A and B is Trooper A and Group C and D is Trooper B. The facees were involved in this game too. They were so skillful and so serious as if they are in a real war. We took detergent with colour, poured them into a plastic with cylindrical shape. Who kena throw at the body will "die". Ok then I was in the assault team. There were only 5 of us attacking, 5 of us spy and mostly is backup. There are two entrances to the jungle. The top is where Trooper A and B meet and fight.

I fought with all my might, hiding in each and every possible secured corner just to find a chance to backstab the enemy. All my team mates were down. And I took 3 out of 10 person down. 7 left and they don't even dare to kill me because they are afraid that I am a bait and reinforcements are behind me but actually there is only me left. haha. I fooled around with them until the whistle was heard which means the game has ended. Trooper B won because the Trooper A's commando was captured as a hostage. The commando is a faccilitator with experience.

We tied him up and he was acting tired and keep on saying that he was hungry. He tried to cut off the string with a knife but another facee helping our group saw what he was trying to do and he stopped. We let our guard down as we won the battle. Suddenly, he ran away as fast as he could. Trooper B gived chase and finally he was caught again. haha. Well, we had our lunch, had a closing ceremony with full of tears and a wonderful and meaningful song for us to remember. Kenangan Terindah by Samson. The facilitators were all in tears too. We were so close to each other. As first we came, WHAT THE CAMP IS THIS???? But now, we enjoyed and we don't want to part with one another. I will post the pictures, videos and the song later on. THIS IS INDEED a once in a lifetime experience. I will look forward to this kind of camp again. We love you, facees!!! We will miss you!!! =) =p KEM- An NAIM ROCKSSS!!!
