camp EVIL was not so EVIL afterall

listening to : pretend to be nice - josie and the pussycats
mood : fine
current status : excited but tired.

I was woken up by Gg at about 5 o'clock. Somehow I didn't mind waking up but I was tired. Since I couldn't pray, I took that time to pack my stuff properly, before I went to take a quick shower. I HATED THE TOILET.

Then we all had to go to this feild for our morning exercise. Being elected the girl penolong in my group, I had to make sure all the girls were there. It was bad that one of my girl team mate wasn't there. Even though I checked her tent and everything. When this was told to the supervisors, I found out that there is another girl in the PInk group that was missing also. And it was weird that they were the only two in their tent and both were missing.

The supervisors made a joke about kidnapping a few members so we thought it was one of his tricks. But then after I asked the girl in my group that wa missing, she said no one woked her up. And she denied being kidnapped. So it was weird because G checked her tent and she was sure they weren't there.

SO WE NEVER KNOW!!!

Exercising didn't take that much time. After that we went for breakfast. The food today sucked the most! And today was the "jungle tracking" day. After breakfast we were to kumpul at the dewan. We found out that we were only allowed to bring 5 bottles per group. And I thought it wan't enough.

So after that we were given time to get ready and were to meet up to go. My group brought 3 big bottles and 2 small ones. Syafiqah were nice enough to carry the 2 small ones while 3 guys took one big one each.

And so we went. We were the last group unfortunately. And after about 10 minutes of going up hills, I was ALREADY TIRED. I don't know how people could do this for fun. But I know if I don't do this now, I never will. And I made sure I don't complain soo much or else poeple would think I am weak. {there is no reason to show people you are right}

But I was already sweating so much! And it was tiring but fun. The trip took about 2 hours. We were scheduled to be back by 1.30pm.

In the middle of the trip, the supervisors decided to change group leaders to see if we can corporate with others. Gg ended up being mine and I was so glad. I did "ABSELING". God knows ho's that spelled but I had to go down a hill with a rope. It was fun but scary.

And then we were to climb up a 200m hill thats steep. It was so steep I thoguht I was going to fall and die. But of course I didn't. When we reached the top, there were a few supervisors and they explained that we had to pretend a girl and a guy in our group had borke their leg and we had to find a way to carry them back to campside without letting them touch the ground. The guys chose Ashraf {this reallky skinny guy} and the girls chose Ka Boon {a small chinese girl}

And so we set off. IT WAS SOOOOO TIRING TRUST ME!!! We tried so many different ways to carry her. {The girls and guys had to manage themselves} And off we went. The trip was soo long. It was suppose to be a half an hour journey. Imagine carrying a person for half an hour. And of course we took longer than that. We were the last one to reach and we took almost an hour late. But we thought it wasn't fair to blame us because we did start off last!

We only had about an hour before we had to set off for another set of activities. OUCH. So we went for lunch and I didn't even have time to take a shower. We were all set to meet back at the dewan. The supervisors then told us that we had to go through 3 courses of activities.

-River crossing
-Flying Fox
-Comando Training

I was so excited to go for river crossing because I thought it was us being on 'pelampung' and pulling our way to the other side of the river with a rope. BOY I WAS WRONG.!!!

My group and Diana's group{yellow} were to go for the river crossing first. Diana's group had to go first. I could see form Diana's face that she was scared when it washer turn to go. That made me even more scared. But when she was done, she told me she had a fun time. That excites me.

And indeed it was fun. I thought I did pretty okay! I actually had to put all of my body inside the water, like lay down on it, and bring yourself to the other side with only your hands. IT WAS SCARY BUT FUN!!!

Even though we were very very wet, we made our way to the comando side. It looked scary because there was about 5 sets of obstacles. First we have to walk through a moving plank. After that there was the monkey bar. After that we had to walk across 2 really thin planks across water. The we had a wall that we had to climb up. Then we had to crawl on mud under a set of sharp wires.

It took our team quite a long time to do it. Of course for me, I couldn't get through the monley bar, and the wall was hard too. I think I am so heavy!!! But then we had loads of fun, and we also got loads of dirt on us.

After that, it took us more than an hour before we got to ride the flying fox. I was so excited and nervous when it was my turn. I have a little fear of heights and that is one of the reasons I agreed to do this flying fox. When I went up to the top, 2 guys were handling the place. I told them that I was so scared and that it was my first time, and one guy who was controlling the movement of the rope told me that he was going to stop me in the middle.

Of course he was kidding but I was still on guard if he was going to do that. But going down it was FUN FUN FUN!!!!! after that we all washed up throughly and the SMKSU girls planned to wear baju kurung for the night's get together.

And we ended up having almost ALL the other girls wearing it too, only after we planned to do so. We were kind of pissed because we thought of being dfferent from them. So we thought of wearing a cap with our kurungs to different-spape us with the others.

That didn't work! 2 girls even asked me for another pair of my kurung for them to wear!

YEAH RIGHT!

After dinner, we all set off to the dewan.

So that night, groups were suppose to tell about their day. Each leader of each group had to pick a person and they were to tell about the trip. Apparently, the mike landed on a girl name Tash and she was telling them NON-STOP about things and it was like BLAH!!! I was quite embarassed because she was repeating what she said and it doesn't really have things to do wtih the questions that was asked.

And she also told the everyone of this secret that our group had. While we were on our 'carry-the-broken-legged-person' task, this one guy who was suppose to be on guard for us, kind of tlld us what to do! and he wasn't suppose to. he kind of helped us and all and we were all grateful.

BUT TASH TOLD EVERYONE THAT. And the supervisors got really pissed. After Tash were told to be seated, I went up there to re-tell the story even thought I was dead nervous. I complimented my group, and Gg. And told how wonderful our group worked together. AND WE DID.

And then Gg were asked to go infront to tell her experienced prking with us. She covered up the HELP story Tash let off. THANK GOD!! And the night went on and on until everyone was done. After that the supervisors were telling us our wrongs and rights. What we've done and what we should've done.

I was practically sleeping. At one point, Changkar had to go to the doctors outside so he put Omar and Me in charge. And after the supervisors were done talking, we were given 4 manilla cards to draw our group's name, group's moto, group's logo and our matlamat.

Omar told us that we should all go for a drink before coming back to do work. And we did. When we came back, we were all seated in a group, and Omar took charge. I was so glad at that point because EVERYONE actually paid attention and actually contributed to his ideas. Everyone helped and it felt so good that everyone actually gave opinions, ideas and attention.

We discussed everything that we had to do and we did it, we put it on paper. Everything was done. And I was glad!!! I was happy and I liked it!!!

I end up sleeping at 2.30 am waiting for Diana. Of course that was my desicion to do that. It was a fun, tiring day!
