up and down.

Hei, long time since i last post a new post. Heh. Abseiling, sebelum ni dah pernah buat dah, kat sekolah. Agak menakutkan jugak sebab masa tu baru form 2 kut.Turun dari tingkat 4, 180 darjah kebawah. Haha.
So, here's the deal. I'va already know how to do this activity but i still dont have any idea what is the equipment needed and how to set those equipment. Hari tu, 8.30 kami dah berkumpul dekat tapak wall climbing sebelum naik atas bukit dekat dengan pusat akuatik. After briefing from En. Hisyam, he show us how to wear those equipment. He called upon saufee as a model. Haha.
Basically, there are 2 ways on how to do abseiling. The normal and the Australian style. Sound interesting huh? En. Hisyam keep reminding us about safety and all. We did as he told us because he is a man with full of experiences. Thanks En. Hisyam. Before we started, saufee recite a doa to asked Allah's blessing.
Now off we go! I've learned a lot through abseiling. Trust. We need to trust whoever that will help us goes down. Teamwork is very important and always put safety first.
What a day. We have so much fun that day. Thanks to abg dasri who came to help us that day. Also to kak El and kak Aisyah. Later bloggie. byeeee.

Wonder Camp.

Hi, this is what happened. We arrived at Bukit Chearakah and the first task assigned by the instructors is to bring all the equipments to the campsite a.s.a.p. Sound easy but its not. Before that, we had to hand in our toiletries except for toothbrush and toothpaste. Hahaha. We are also prohibited from bring along any form of foods. After that, the first activities started. Camp crafting, blind trailing, orienteering and also navigating. haha. We learned a lot during these activities. Especially blind trailing. We learned to be thankful in what have given to us by ALLAH. Before the activities started, we need to set every kind of tent first. It requires togetherness in order to make the job much more easier. Even though i have knee injury, i still do my best to help my friends.
That night, we recited surah Yaasin together before Isya'. After Isya' we have dinner and continue with our programs. Ice breaking. Haha. I'm certainly not looking forward to this. I may looking forward in knowing the instructor but not in introducing myself. I'm afraid my words stumble. Heh. After that, we play some games and surprisingly its fun! :) Heh. We given times to take a nap for awhile before we started our night activities. Sound creepy huh?
Night walking, solo drop and find-your-own-way-back-home. Haha. I made up the last one of course. We did night walking together for warm up, before we left alone in the dark. Haha. Many things walked through my sleepy mind. I'm sleepy. I slept few times before they picked me up. Haha. The most challenging part is to walk alone to the campsite with a candle. Haha. Creepy + challenging. After everyone has arrived, we were given times to prepare for solat subuh.
New day begun. After breakfast, its time for activities again. Blind trailing. Haha. Its like a roller coaster ride. First, we need to hold our group member's hand and walk. Haha. After that, we have to walk alone. Haha. We have to follow the given route, which is set using a rope. It's very challenging. Instructor recklessly splashed water containing mud to us and all. Still, it is worth doing that activity. It made us think how lucky we are to have the sense of sight.
After zohor, my team will be doing orienteering. Haha. The route is very challenging, not as easy as i thought. What we have learned in class is being practiced in this activity. Fun but painful. Haha. I can only run to the 1st control point. Heh.
Knotting and 1st Aid. We did revision on knotting and learned the part that we haven't learn in 1st Aid. Before we continue in CPR, we given times for a quick nap as we all look very tired and sleepy. After few minutes i guess, i was awakened and afiq(Boat), Yazid(Cikgu), Fatin from INSTEDT and myself will be sent to the clinic to check on our respective health problems. I was disappointed as i thought i can do x-ray, but i was unable to examine my knee. Back to the campsite, we were punished for not inviting MR Bus' Driver to eat with us. The punishment is? Haha. Get into the pond everyone. Heh. After that, we have to do sentry in rotation, and sleep. Finally.
Two hours of sleep and off we go. New day started with solat subuh and aerobic soon after that. Rotation activities resume. We did navigation activity. Really useful, if we lost in the forest or if our friends is lost, navigating is the way to find our way in jungle. After setting up our route, we need to find the other group route. We found it all, but for the other team, they didn't manage to find the last marker.
After that, we went back to the campsite, have our breakfast and unpack all stuff. Untied every tent and keep them all. Some of four-men-tent and six-men-tent has been kept by the group who did camp crafting activities. Then, we need to bring all the equipment to the place where the lorry have waited. Again, in a given time. We also have been punished for missing out important stuff. Haha. After given a briefing and closing ceremony, speeches and appreciation, we all going back to UiTM.
Our dreams of resting shattered i must say. I didn't mean to exaggerates, but we are tired. Haha. We need to move all the equipments and stores them. INSTEDT's students also helped. Work done in a shorter period of time. :) Thanks to lecturers, instructors from PERLU, alumni from PERLU, first aider, drivers, my classmates and INSTEDT's participants for making this happened. Adios amigos.

build up to the first camp.finale.

Hi, this is what happened in the final few days before we go to Bukit Cherakah. Final checks on the equipment that we need to bring along, stay near the store, sentry purpose. heh. Everything look alright until after we move all the things inside the lorry, iz told us that the lorry cant wait until tomorrow because the lorry need to go to other place for other events. So, we decided to use the buses instead of using the lorry. It's only one minor problem. And it has been solved.
We waited for bus from INSTEDT to come early, but they turned up late. We had breakfast together, short briefing, and putting equipments on their respective buses and off we go.
A major setback has arrived. Unfortunately, En. Hisyam couldn't make it due to the loss of his sister. Al-Fatihah. We are all disappointed but the show must go on. With the assistant of lecturer from both INSTEDT and UiTM and also highly caliber instructors from PERLU i believe that this camp will still went well. Amin.

build up to the 1st camp.part 6ix.orientering.

Alright, today I feel like speaking bahasa. *switch to bahasa. Haha. Hari selasa, seperti biasa, pukul 8.30. Tapi di stadium UiTM. Aktiviti orientering. By far, the best activity so far. Haha. Memang seronok. Selepas belajar pada hari isnin, kami pun aplikasikannya di dalam aktiviti kami. heh. Saya, Saufee dan Zella melengkapkan pasukan Rocket. Haha. Kami diberi taklimat oleh En. Hisyam mengenai peta dan cara menggunakan kompas dengan betul. 2 tugasan diberi pada hari itu. Yang pertama ialah untuk membuat trak dan seterusnya ialah untuk mencari trak yang dibuat oleh kumpulan lain. Malangnya, kumpulan kami tidak dpt menyiapkan tugasan yang diberi.:( Ini disebabkan oleh kumpulan Rocky, yg terdiri daripada Aliff, Yazid dan Farah telah membuat kesilapan yg besar dan perbezaan ralat yg ketara dalam bearing mereka. Kami telah diadili oleh Abg Mus, dan terbukti dakwaan kami memang berasas. Kami agak terkilan, tetapi kami tetap berseronok pada hari itu. Kami harap En. Hisyam masih dapat memberi kami markah yg banyak. Haha. Terima kasih pada En. Hisyam dan Abg Mus. =) later bloggie. Bubyee.
