The Pieces That Brought Us Together.

Today, Friday, 18th of March 2010, 4:04 p.m. and about to blog about the camp I just came back from. Currently listening to some music, and downloading bleach, an anime, which is getting as boring as ever... little surprised by the speed today at 137 kp/s... it used to be like 20 or 30 but well, the more the better.

The camp started 2 days ago, which is the 16th, and again the venue is Eagle Ranch, and we're sleeping in A-huts, which is so much better compared to KemRI. The toilet was great too; well at least it’s clean. We got there, and got divided into groups.

So, the pieces on the left are what brought our group members together, a picture of a hamster. Camp is really the same routine like every single year, so if you're a prefect reading this... it's going to be a boring one. So, let’s not talk about the day and the night, I'll talk about what I think about this camp.

Well, RM 70 for this camp isn't that bad, but well, anything unnecessary that costs money IS bad, even if it’s RM 2. It's not called selfish, kiam siap or anything; it’s just called spending money wisely. Since it is so much for compulsory participation, I don't think I have much of a choice. Lying is too much a hassle and well if I get fired I would've wasted another RM 100+- for school uniform. So fine, I couldn't do anything now that it is paid and the camp is over, like they say, money come, money goes.

The food is slightly lower than average, but well, compared to food at KemRI, the food and drinks here are much appreciated, and because we're all starving, even shit will turn into something good. Compared to last year, the food was good and the drinks are much appealing. Well, we could all guess that the government is broke and didn't really put a lot of funds into school. My school had to pay its own electricity and water bills it seems. The board asked for contribution and loaned from PIBG and those stuff, so what can I expect? If we want better food etc, it wouldn't be RM 70 but RM 770, exaggerated, maybe?

Activities are the usual, what more than water and mud, the punishment and humiliation? We have a flag, egg and God knows what we have to protect throughout this 3 days. There is just one thing I don't get, suppose we were all about to play a water station game, of course you have to put the flag aside because its friggin mah-jong paper which are so tofu they could tear under the pressure of anything. So, the question is how to fend off these thieves from taking them? I got absolutely no idea. I wouldn't use this as an excuse for my team because there's someone who can't play water due to some reasons, but well, again I'm not blaming you guys for losing the stuff... we all make mistakes don't we? I'm just pondering on the logic.

Lesson learnt, trust, we're suppose to trust our leaders, but the irony is they cheat on us. E.g. they ask for our egg for God knows what purpose, and shall we give them, the egg is gone, if we don't give them, they'll say we don't trust them OR they'll keep on convincing us to give them our egg. Such irony, but well, to attend such camps is to agree to be humiliated, punished, and tortured to the max.

Overall, it wasn't such a bad camp; it has improved since last year, like it is more in order. Like the photo session. At least I don't have to join as a participant next year, or maybe I will, but either way, I'm just glad it’s over.

Looking at my download, it has already reached 92% of 170MB. Cool, I thought. I can't seem to fall asleep before I start blogging. Lots of thanks to my uncle for the KFC snack, my granny and aunt for birthday presents. =)
