So, when I know there is a camp trip, I wanted to go without hesitating, even if I am to go alone, without accompaniment by my friends. Well, of course there are people going and I can make new friends. So, friends is not an issue. Anyway, Ily went with me. Then, some new friends that I just know during the orientation week went also. Thus, no feelings of alone. Excitement is burning in my heart. I cant wait for the day to come.
On that day, 19 July, it was the day that I waited for so long. 'Fine, the day is here', I told myself.
The first person I know in my group is Lixian, and after a long conversation with her, only then I realised that she is just 1 day younger than me. No wonder we had so many similarities. I feel so good to talk with her. Then, I started to know Liem, Hafiq, Shane, Shu Yi, Shermaine, Izzy and last but not least, our buddy, Jack.
This is my group, Group 11^_^Our group started to be so quiet and I feel so uncomfortable. Usually I talk much..Hehe....
Anyway, the ice started to break after some time. Although we still do not know each other very much, it is much more better compare to the first few minutes..
Then, lunch is just mee goreng. Not really nice, but when we are starving for food, everything seems fine. Then we played games, and it is compulsory to soak ourselves in the water. No doubt, all wet. From head to toes. The river water is so cooling, but when we have to run and look for stations with such heavy clothes and pants, walking around seems difficult for us.
So near to nature. Relaxing........
Tents like mushrooms....3-men-tentThat day's dinner was definitely a difficult and hard for us to gain. We had to cook using backwoodsman style. Ok, that is not so terrible. The most terrible and geli way is to use our hands to make bread. No mixer. Only our hands as the mixer. I mixed flour, sodium bicarbonate, sugar etc stuff, and even it mix with sand. OMG, because it is the mixture is just on a double layer of banana leaf. i don't know why I dare to try it when it is done.
Of course, we chat while making bread. Or else, life gonna be boring!!!
We chat about how disgusting the bread it, how unhygienic it is, the number of microorganism in our hands and the story goes on and on, mainly about FOOD......Then, I am promoting Ipoh food etc etc... Until sometime, we even discuss about Chinese dialects...Hokkien, the language which I understand a bit but cant really can communicate in that language. Then, Liem taught us some simple words, and I am puzzle-ing the words to become a simple sentence, and it is fun, and only at this time I know Indonesian-Chinese can speak Chinese dialects as well. I mean I thought not many can speak but through this camp, Liem and his friends communicate in Hokkien some times, haha...and I can understand a bit la....
At night was exciting. We are going in the jungle for night walk.
Before that, we played a 'TRUST' game.
However, i turned out to be less- trusting my team members, and I am the only one. While I saw other team members who are unable to trust their team members well, I was like feeling 'come on, trust them'. But when it is my turn, turn does not turn out to be the way it should be.. Haiz, I think I have to change myself la....
And before we enter the jungle, we waited for other team members to finish their expedition. While waiting, we were so sleepy that we lie down on the tar road. That's my first experience lying on tar road. My god. I don't even believe that I will do so in my entire life.
Well, I had told myself not to be scared when I enter the forest since this will be my 4th time entering a forest.But, things just don't turn out to be the way it should be...Actually I am not scared if we enter the jungle in groups. Unfortunately, they want us to enter alone. To be frank, I am extremely nervous at that time. I don't want to go in there alone. I am scared.
Finally, all our group members enter by pairs. Not so scary then.
At first, while I enter, the leaves of the plants seem like hands dropping out, as if it want to pull me away. I am freaking scared. I dare not move on. I stop and wait for Jack, wanting to go in the forest together. I know I cannot think negatively, so i have to ask help from somebody to give me courage.
And when he is talking to me, I know I am totally blank in mind. I don't even know what did I answered him.
Luckily, after some time, when i am used to the situation, it's fine.
We left the jungle at 2 am, and had our supper at 2 am--a burger. So high calorie burger and terus tidur. No doubt, gain weight d la....
I told myself, never mind la...it is just only 1 day and you will be going your normal routine again.
Well, for the next day, our group just able to get a tuna bread spread during the Food Hunt..
Desmond's group got a lot of stuff. A few loaf of breads, 7 tuna bread spread and 2 jams...
No wonder our group can't find anything. Anyway, the committee aren't so cruel to starve us la...
We still got food to eat....
And its yummy, last night burger!!!!
Luckily, it is still edible.
Actually we had planned to go to waterfall, but it is too late that time. So, unfortunately have ti cancel that activity.
There are still a lot of great experience at Sg. Congkak, but it is just that I can't manage to type it all. So, bear with me la... At least i had shared some, right?
But, to my friends, i want my photos la...Pls give me as soon as possible. This blog seems so dull without so nice pictures, our memories...
