B.I.G

It's been quite some time since the last post~~ Work load seems never ending.. 24h ain't enough to do everything that I'm required to do...

Last week (22-25 February) my class had to go for our B.I.G camp.. It's a camp that every future teacher in the IPG MUST participate.. This year, the government have money to let us go out from our campus to have the camp. My campus had the camp at Pasir Panjang, PD.. Nice area.. Full of trees.. Lots of monkeys... NO LEECHES...hehe...

The camp was held for 4 days 3 nights. And as usual, at any camp, we'll have activities such as Jungle Trackking and Rafting, LDK, Performance night..... The 1st day, when we reached the place - Brindley Training and Camp (BTC), we had our taklimat on pitching the tents and safety measures that we have to take throughout the camp... In total, we have 19 tents.. 8 for the guys and the rest for the girls.. :) That night, we had ice breaking session.. It's the normal ice breaking session where they ask us to find friends of the same month, same state, and bla bla bla... Getting to know other friends of other courses better...

The 2nd day, we had our 1st outdoor activity which is Jungle Trackking. We tracked for 4km only.. But going up and down the hill is the toughest and the most tiring part. Moreover, the track is quite slippery and not many places that we can get hold of the tree to stabalize ourselves.. During the activity, we had a task to fulfill.. It's called "Ancient Wedding". My group received our task to do the dowry with flora motive with the natural elements that we could find the the jungle.. We had 30 minutes to accomplish our task. At the end of the activity, we have to present it and we had great time performing all of our task together with all the groups. Later in the evening, we did some colour personality test and had another LDK that night.. We came out with our group logo and motto.. After creating our logo and motto, we were asked to explain the reason of each motives we have on our logo.. Most of the groups crap things that of course are logical.. And we had a fun time laughing at their explanation... :)

On the 3rd day, we had our water activity which is rafting.. We were been taught how to build our own raft before getting the equipments to build the raft. There will be 3 rafts which will be sitted by 25 participants each.. I had a good time building the raft as it was my 1st time building it... :) Our task is to paddle the raft to almost 1km from the shore to get our flag and bring it back... It was kinda like a competition between the 3 rafts... And our raft got FIRST place!!!!! XD Of course there were lots of problems when we just started to paddle our raft.. So far that day, the rafting is the activity I enjoyed the most... =D Later, we had to come out with a project named "YB's 1Million Project".. It is where we have 1 million to spent to build/renovate any town under the YB's territory.. When the night arrived, it was the night of performance~~~ Most of the groups did sketch, drama and theater.. We had wonderful time watching each group presenting their performances...

It's the last day... We'll be heading back soon... As usual, there's the closing ceremony by the Timbalan Pengarah... And the price giving ceremony... After all ended, we had a group pic taken... :) We headed back to KL around 1pm...

Overall, the camp was quite fun where we enjoyed ourselves especially the water activity... :)
