the FUN, sleepless( literally), tiring, no spoon camp

We came, we saw, we ate with our fingers, we were deprived of sleep, we jumped off a 35 foot high building, we scaled down a flat wall, we got soaked in a chocolate river, we blasted Ivan with water, we crawled through mud, we swung over it, we jumped a 7 foot wall, we fought on stage, we slept on tar, all in all, WE SURVIVED!. And still standing to blog about it.


DAY 1 - friday

went to school, assembly, and the likes. Went home after school to get packed. Took a cab to the camp site. KEM TASEK UTARA if I'm not mistaken. Got a brief ( hell no super long ) briefing by our camp commander ( the scarf loving long neck ) and the camp site's man-in-charge ( forgot the name). Pitched our tents soon after. We were doing okay on our own till this lady came over and said in some squeaky arrogant tone,

" kamu nie, pasang kemah pun tak tau, panggil laki lagie, aku pakai ju kurung pun buat lebih cepat, nah cam nie la buatnya"

WTH. It wasn't like we were doing at an ultra slow pace. Moving on, we carried the tents up to the actual site. They didn't want us to "poke" their oh so precious ground it seems. Placed the tents, sorted out who slept in which tents, got back down for dinner and our moral lesson ( the malays were praying you see ) Got into groups. Met two form 6's. Same group with me and lebin. Two others er form 1 and 2 dudes. They kept quiet the whole time. According to the two form 6's they were shy cause of the age gap. We said in other words, they were old. HAHA.

Had some activity soon after, was blindfolded. They wanted us to know what it feels like to be blind. Our school has a UPK( unit pendidikan khas you see ) So we were brought to walk around in that state by different group leaders. Sean being one of them. He brought me once. he changed his voice a little trying to hide i guess. Didn't work la. He tried changing to malay halfway and it was so so so obvious it was him. When we were made to sit, still blindfolded, they made these bottle clashing sounds, and ghostly like sounds, lame much.

By the time all this ended, it was 1 plus in the morning. Got back to the tents only to rush down again. The girls didn't follow the order to sleep at the designated time. So there we were, getting punished for them. Push ups, and some stupid rolling on the ground thing. All to the amusement of our camp commander. Finally got to sleep at 2.45. Got up at 3 plus, slept back and woke up again at 4.50. Time for day two.
