This year 2009, we as the first batch of APEX students are compulsory to go for Kem Pimpin Siswa which is organized by BHEPP. All the HBP students have been distributed to the 4th series that is the last series in this camping event. The camping date start from 7 August 2009 until 9 August, altogether 3 days and 2 nights.Kem Belantara Elit at Kuala Nerang, Kedah is my camping site.
On 7th August, early in the morning, all the students gathered at the marching field in front of DUP. After taking attendence, we mount on our bus then heading to our destination.
Once we reach there, it rained cats and dogs. Immediately, the camp manager asks us to shelter inside a house. After giving us some briefing, the activity started. Each person is given a small flag, plate, fork and spoon. During these three days, it is our duty to take care of the tools mentioned before. Besides, a big flag also given to each group consist of about 15 people. If we lost our flag, punishment is awaits for us.
At the first night we spend there, we have an unforgettable experience. Just when we sleep nicely after a exhausting day (we set up our tent), the alarm sounds. We had to walk inside the jungle at 2 am !!! Moreover, the ground is muddy after raining. We passed through the jungle and unfortunately i fall into the mud. Argh~~~
there is another thing i want to stress here, MY LEG IS SUCKED BY A LEECH !!!
For our 2nd day, the important event is they gave a live chicken to us. Without much explanation, you can guess what we did next.
Ya, the chicken is to be slaughtered because it is our meal. If you don't want to slaughter it, then you starve lo. Luckily my group member do the "murder" job. Hehe...
After eating, i wash the dishes because i didn't contribute much in 'masak-masak'. Only few boys in the camp know how to cook, so i don't feel ashamed of it.
3rd day (9 August 2009), we have our group's presentation. After it, we packed up our things, clean up our camping site and heading back USM. I feel very happy because i can have sufficient sleep finally after a torturing 3 days camping.
