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~!!

Wow...

The past few days was really exciting. Got so many things to post about, but I will try to make it as short as possible.

Last Friday, the Kelab Sivic and Kebajikan went to visit the Ti-Ratana orphanage home. The management claimed that there is 190 boys and girls in the home. Initially, we assumed there is only 80 children, so we bought supplies enough for 60 children only. Oops. Then, I took charge of the games and start with the Banana Dance, and later a balloon game. After the Banana Dance, we gave each child a mechanical pencil as reward. Now, what do you get if you have very naughty and jolly children, mechanical pencils, and balloons? Chaos. I think I did not do a good job in organizing games. Time to improve.

Later that night, I manage to do well in the conclusion section for the HSD meeting (my religion's high school division's meeting). After so much of worries and pressure, I felt quite happy about it. Although I accidentally missed out some important points (by the way, I'm explaining "The Three Poison"), but I think the experience is worth it. I would like to thank my brother for putting lots of effort in preparing his presentation on blood pressure (the main topic of the meeting is "Blood Pressure"; everyone was enlightened =D).

Next day, we had class party which is compulsory for all students. We had so much food (was it much? Not sure.) to eat especially when we ordered SIX pizzas. Crazy. Deng, I forgot to eat the Secret Recipe's cake. But the most important thing is that the class had fun and once-in-a-while-relaxing moments. I embrassed myself with dancing, pole dancing (Dinesh was the pole), chair dancing (plastic chair, I mean), and... declined to say. Too embrassing. Hoong Jun, why muka kita tebal???? Even our class teacher filmed us. Dear me.

Next day's main focus was the dance practice. The gymnastics group came over to teach us about jumping techniques, which was really cool. Some of us members almost injured ourselves attempting to execute some jumps. In the end, we all manage to execute the jump and the roll. Thank you gymnastics~!!! XD

The same night, Zhuang Xiao called and gave me a grave news: Must be at school the next day by 6.30am, or else the bus to Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong's funeral will leave without us. Oh, ya. My classmates and I represented our school with some other 60 members to attend the funeral in Genting Highland, or shall we say, GohTong Jaya. Luckily, with the invention of the telephones and handphones, we all manage to pass the message of notification to everyone. Thank you Alexander Graham Bell~!!!!

The funeral was really grand. We all waited for the hearse to pass by GohTong Jaya so that we will parade behind later. It was really tiring to stand and wait, wait, wait, wait and wait. After the argonizing hours, the hearse and the parade finally came. We paraded for the next 30 minutes all the way to the memorial centre. Then the staff served us food and drinks. It was really the grandest funeral I ever attended (or is it me that seldom attend any funeral). I would like to dedicate this post to Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong whom have help many people in the world through charities and also inspired many people with his life experiences. Thank you, Tan Sri, and may peace be upon you.

Oh by the way, my class (and collaborated with L6P) won the football telematch against L6C-L6P 5-3. Yea~!!! (Contributions of tackles and steals by defenders like me... thank you thank you XD)

Perasan gila.

Time to get prepared for this Friday's Contemporary Appreciation Night in Bunka Kaikan, Cheras. If any one of you are attending (free admission by the way), come at 7.30pm. There will be some pre-performances (from my team and me XD).

Peace out~!!!

Woo-hoo~!! I get to perform the opening dance for contemporary appreciation night! I got a call from the PIC, which is a big relieve for me. I thought I wasn't up to their standards at all (especially contemporary).

The whole holiday week was really fun for me. Since I seldom jog to train my stamina, so I think it's time. Initially, I wanted to jog every morning since it's holidays, but due to my laziness that has been in existence since the era of mankind, I could only manage to fork out three mornings to jog. I did see some improvement after jogging. First morning: 12 minutes 01 seconds. Second morning: 15 minutes 30 seconds. Third morning: 18 minutes 34 seconds. Now at least I feel a bit more confident (or arrogant XD).

Now my mom wants my dance team (which was formed few weeks ago for mid-autumn festival) to perform for her school's graduation day. Now I'm in a dilemma. 31 October I will perform for her school and two days later (2nd November) is contemporary appreciation night! Hectic~!!!

Never mind. Hope it all goes well.

Oh dear. I forgot to do all my holiday homeworks.

Wow, my dance turn out well.

The teacher (that was in charge of the Chinese club) booked us for dancing for next year's anugerah cemerlang at March 2008 right after our performance of Mid Autumn Festival. My mom also wanted the team to perform in her school (SMJK Confucian) at 31st October this month.

But one thing depressed me.

Here's the conversation.

Teacher: What a nice performance you all did!
We: Thank you~!!!
Teacher: Next year, I want you all perform in Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang. Can?
We: No problem~!!
Me: *Blurred*
Teacher: Good good! Who chereographed this dance? (All pointed me)
Teacher: Really? Nice Chinese dance!
We: Har? *stunned* [Silence]
Me: Chinese dance? It's not hip hop meh?
Teacher: Got hip hop meh??

Ouch.

Finally the exams is over.

Can't describe the feeling.

Manage to do well in Physics, Mathematics, General Paper, Computer Literature (I know, pointless subject), and MUET. But of course, lo and behold, in the name of my mom's school, I almost failed my Chemistry and Economics paper. I do expect that, but still feeling very depressing.

Now back to dance practice after school. The team and I are going to perform in Mid Autumn Festival this Thursday. Now everyday stay back and dance and dance. Hope it's going to be a shocker this Thursday night. XD "Huo, huo, huo-huo, huo, huo-huo, huo~!!!" (Jay Chou's Huo Yan Jia)

Yesterday's dance practice in Cheras was tiring especially the stretching part. Oh my goodness. My legs are numb. I hope I don't overstress my legs, or else this Thursday I FFK my team. NO WAY. Learn new hip hop steps. VERY DIFFICULT. Listen to the song "K-O" by Lin Jun Jie and imagine me trying and struggling like a donkey doing new steps. Sigh.

At the same time, must go back to my Economics and Chemistry.

Now I ask myself a question that haunted me since after exams.

WHY DID I PLAY XENO TACTICS IN MOFUNZONE.COM DURING EXAMS????

Silly me.
