This is a video of me doing robotic for the first time in front of a camera. After watching this, I realized there is lots of things for me to learn in robotic moves. The first person's view varies A LOT from the third person's view. I did not expect my robotic moves to be smooth, since what I thought I was doing was "jerking" type of robot (I even looked into a mirror while executing it, I was convinced that it IS "jerking" robot).

Anyways, enjoy~!

Kem Perdana

Just came back from Kem Perdana in Bukit Lagong, Selayang (Shall we call it "Grand Camp" in English?), I was so confident of myself that I still have the stamina at night to do Chemistry work and miscellaneous. Confidently, I decided to take an evening nap.

The evening nap become my sleeping time. 11 hours of sleep~!!!! Since I woke up 6.30am next morning, I lazily told myself to skip school.

That shows how tired am I after the camp. It was organized by my school and it was three days two nights. Everyone (including me) assumed that it is a leisure camp. But as the very-so-sarcastically-irritating-punctuality-and-indescribable-stupendous bus reached the destination and with the given briefing, we were very wrong.

It's a hard training camp, much like a scout camp (except that the food is provided), so I could feel a lot of nostalgic feeling coming back, where my past memories filled with former school's camp. I enjoyed the camp much, although my classmates and I faced lots of difficulties such as lack of tents (some of us slept at the multi-purpose hall), consistently wet equipment due to very predictable rain and indescribable temperature in the mornings, many restrictions by the camps, and boredom of some activities. One thing I was not contented was the delay caused by the organizers of the camp. Some agendas took like at least 30 minutes up to 1 hour of wait before the actual activity can began. But activities such as night trekking, obstacles course, flying fox, rock climbing and jungle trekking (not to mention the waterfalls) was very fun and wonderful.

Chiew Wai entertained us during the whole camp with hilarious jokes and painful gotchas. He made the whole camp lively and heart warming. So was Alairic whom was elected the "Penghulu" of the camp (sounds like a Bomoh from a Kampung). I hope to mention more, but time is ticking like nobody's business. The L6K mates really rocked the camp together (not to forget the L6M mates, they rocked too!).

One thing I do not understand: some people JUST do not want to respect the forest (not willing to mention names here, if you want to know, ask me personally). Some speak loud and shout at the top of their voice during jungle trekking, some even cursed and swore curing trekking, and some are just tempted to shine their torch light up the trees. Where is their respect??? They think they own the forest??? During the trek, if the girls in front are making the guys at the back wait (since most are physically poor), why complain so much??? Think they can be faster?? I grinned when I turned to see them struggling behind as well. Inexperienced idiots.

Sorry if I sounds offending, but I just don't like the attitudes la. Luckily and thank goodness none of the L6K mates or L6M mates (practically all the Lower Sixes) are involved in my hatred. Oops. I gave away some clues already. If you know who you are, please be more mature. Thank you.

Overall, the camp was great and well-worthed the RM50 (to me la). I just love physical camps (that does not mean I don't like leisure camp. By the way, I NEED ONE~!!!). Hope to join more soon.

What I lost during the camp: two deck of poker cards that was confisticated during spotcheck, a fork which was also confisticated because it is a "sharp" weapon (???), lighter too (all was not returned at all after the camp), my pants (was torn into half during obstacle course), few mililitres of blood (especially during the waterfall, FUN), DIGI's reception, my UNO card's cover that got wet, mosquito coil that was useless since I have no lighter, few voltage of my torchlight's battery, few mililitres of shampoo, soap and toothpaste, and my stamina.

What I gained during the camp: my confidence in myself, new friends, closer bond within my current friends (someone asked: why friends got categories one? Sweat.), experience, patience, large amount of H2O due to rain, happiness and great time~!!!

"Ain't no moutain higher~!!!!" Yea~!

Darn, need to go back to school on the 27th of November. Extra chemistry lessons and practicals. Sigh.

The contemporary night was really great and well done!! I enjoyed it a lot. Worth the morning to skip school and take bus up to Cheras. So tiring, but well worth. The better news came that we are to have contemporary night again on the 2nd of December (although I don't know what's the reason behind it... special request? XD). Now feel so high already.

BUT

Back to reality, have to do practicals and practicals and practicals... Some more have to go to school on a school holiday to do more practicals. Walaoweh... stress man.

Today's dance practice was tiring (as usual). Learned new steps for a new song. Rhythmic dance is getting harder and harder by weeks. I found myself beat boxing while dancing, which I think it's bad 'cos my stamina drained much faster than usual. Kick the habit out!!! Argh~!!

Now I'm currently choreographing a dance for next year's school's Prize Giving Ceremony using the song "Gai Shi Ying Siong" by Wang Lee Hom. Great song to dance with. But must not forget that I have another dance to choreograph for my former school's International Understanding Night (I think it's for Leo's Club).

Deng. I'm getting random.

By the way, I lost touch of my piano playing already. Have to go back banging again. XD

OI~! PRACTICALS AR~!!
