This is a story about a camp I went from last friday to sunday.
Kem ni berlaku di Kem Biro Tatanegara Lipis, Kuala Lipis. And honestly, it's the best camp I've ever been to. It's not about the activities that matters to me.. it's the friends that I gain from there. I learn about true friends. I learn about trust with new friends. It only took us almost 3 days for us to be friends and our friendship will continue on.
Ini kali pertama aku pergi kem yang aku bergaul dengan pelbagai umur. from 16 and above. Boys and Girls,there's not even a single awkwardness between us. Okay, yes there is once. I'm kinda like a new kid there and some of the knew each other (partly from previous camp together). How i got to join this camp? Well, my friend asked me, and another boy came with us. His name is Aniq.
Anyway back to this camp. Overall, there's about 52/53 participants. I don't know really how many of us all. We then divided to 6 groups and I have 9 people in my group. It's 10 if includes with my urusetia of my group. We went through the jungle at night with only one torchlight to guide our way. We fell and tripped and hurt our skin together scrambling in the dark searching for the signs that shows the way. Some teams used more than one torchlight and it's totally unfair for us. After hurdling in the darkness around 3 hours later, we found the end of our tracks and suddenly, one of my team mates went histeric. We have to handle her from 2.30 am all the way till Subuh came.
We left her with someone in charge for prayer. After that we continue on with our journey. They give us a living chicken to take care of as we went for jungle tracking again but this time it's under the sunlight. With the chicken, we swim across the lake and we climb the hills through the jungle and finally, we have to cook the chicken.
Cooking in this camp is very challenging. We are not allowed to make any communication with anyone. No hand signals, no eye contact and of course, no SPEAKING. It's very challenging really! If I were to tell you about this part of the story, it will be a totally long story to tell.
After cooking, we ate them and we have this one activity. We will climb a 60 foot tower and climb down using ropes. I am afraid of heights and I can tell you it is a very high tower. As I got up there, the coach roughly pushed me to the side of the tower and forced me to asked for permission to climb down. As I do as he said, I still clung to the ropes and won't let go. Then the coach pushed my feet of the platform and I fell down, but somehow I could climb down as real as a professional does. I was like wow!! Such a waste of energy for me to struggle with my emotions.
The best adventure ends. In the night, we played games and gains more marks. Somehow my team's marks are the lowest so we fight during the games and got up to third place. We got excited!! :)
Long story after that...
The next day is our last day. It's saddening for us to go to our separate ways... The best part on that day was when they're announcing the best team ever. The team they called as JUARA ( Champion ). And that team is my team! At first we called out the 6th team because their points are the highest but eventually my team's number went up. We were like, "HUH?!!". Honestly, our team were the worst (we thought so). It is very surprising... till the time comes for us to say good bye.
Some of us ride the van and some went for the bus. Some ride their own car. The one who went by car and van we stopped by a place where there's a Pasar Malam Larut Malam are held. In there, there's a karaoke stage and it starts with my friend who wants to sing. We sang together and dance together in public. It was soo much fun.. :)
We then pray for Maghrib at the nearby Masjid, and continue our journey to find a place for dinner. After dinner we start again to go back home...That is the end of my story here.
Thank you for reading~
