The camp was held at SMK Tropikana on the 28-30th of March.
I got to the school at 2.32 after my school was over in my full scout uniform and when I got there, I did not see my patrol leader, Benjamin at the bus stop, so I decided to call him via handphone but then I remembered that I did not bring my handphone and so I ask 2 147 scouts sitting at the stop to help me call him out. As I waited, Kaili, my assistant patrol leader got here with the anyaman we need for the camp and some of her stuff on her maid's bike (I think it was her maid's). She laughed as she said hello to me and then Ben came out. He quickly took Kaili's stuff and Kaili went back home to change. I took my bags (bag, bottle, and 2 bags of leaves and twigs for fire) and went into the school with Ben and the kid I asked just now (named Brian) to the form 4's "campsite", the classrooms. My patrol's classroom was decorated with some leaves Ben "stole" from the school and tables along with chairs were arranged "nicely" to make it look like a room. Ben asked me to draw our created Pokemon for the camp on the blackboard while he goes out to look for more leaves. Our patrol is the grass-type patrol. After asking Ben, he and I were the only ones there at that time. Later, Kaili came back and more scouts came too. Mr. Colin was downstairs ordering things to be done by the urusetia who ran here and there busily arranging stuff.
Later at around 3.00, the form 4's have to go and start our pioneering. My partol had to do a draw bridge. After getting the stuff we need (bakau, rafia and hole digger), we started by tying square lashings for the bridge, quadripod lashing for the quadripod and dig the hole for the stick that holds the jube rope for later. I dug the hole half way when I came across a tree root! Argh! I did not care, I just "cut" away the root and continew digging when, ouch, I got a blister and it burst. So Ben took care of the hole and I help "Master" Ping Chien, Jeremy and Joycelyn tie the square lashings. Amanda the form 5 was near by doing backwoods under a tree. Mr. Colin then came over to check us out. He made fun of us and especialy Ping Chien and then went back to the Urusetia Room and set up his loud speaker for calling us and playing music to keep us semangated. He play Pokemon songs because, duh~ it's a Pokemon scout camp. Soon we put up the quadripod and, oh shit, it's not good.
Re-do!
Nooo~
So we redo our quadripod and finaly put it up. At that time it was already time for bathe and then rest but we waisted our time in redoing the quadripod and did not get to bathe, but luckly we still manage to have our dinner. Ping Chien and Derrick brought alot of corn flavoured bread from their schools sports day event and we had them for dinner. As we ate dinner, Kaili showed Ben and Derrick (and mabye someone else) how to make ketupat for our test at night.
We were called by Mr. Colin's whistel call and we "rushed" to him but we were slow because we had to make sure we took everything. Mr. Colin was angry and so we had to go back and forth 2 times to get there the way he wants us to do. Then he gave us our chicken and we took off to do our backwoods.
We went to the verry end next to the fence of the school and we started our backwoods. Kaili and me started doing our roti lilit, Ben started the fire, Derrick, Jeremy, Joycelyn and Ping Chien went to prepair other stuff (I only remember Derrick was incharge of the chicken). We did our chicken lazy style. We stuffed all the garlic we have up the chickens butt and put it in the fire when it wa done with the marinating and stuff. Our roti lilit was also ready, we did it real roti lilit and not biskut lilit like we always did. Kaili then did the rice and Joycelyn (I think) did the eggs and potatoes. While we waited for our food to cook, we had to send representitives to Mr. Colin to keep him updated.
When out food was done, we dug out our food and brought it back to the school's hall to present them to Mr. Colin and the rovers. Our great chicken fell onto the road when we were bringing it back. Derrick, Ben and I cound not help laughing because the way the chicken fell (twice!) and the garlic falling out of the butt was really funny. (Looked as if it was shitting garlic!) Mr. Colin laughed at my Roti Pokeball and thought it was that druckstick thingy monks use to hit their drum thingys.
Tock tock tock tock tock tock tock tock.......................
Our chicken was half cooked and our rice tasted like pulut. Mr. Colin failed (or passed? I'm not sure... He is pretty hard to understand when he jokes while he is being serius.) us. We ate some of our food and threw away the rest. (What a waste!!!) I cound'nt recall what happend that night but I remember sleeping in the classroom while Kaili "watched" over us while practicing on her ketupats.
Next day...
We woke up, LATE! Breakfast was 10 minutes ago and the other senior patrols have already continued with their pioneering. Omg. Omg. Omg. Ben rushed us and we quickly ate breakfast and headed to the feild to bulid our Biouvok (Not sure how to spell...). But we were all kinda slacky so our biovak was not done even by noon. We worked so slowly and we kept hidding from the great lasers from the Sun. Grand Master Ping Chien, who was also known as the "non-stop working" scout also was slacky. Mr. Colin questioned us and Grand Master stood up for us also so Mr. Colin did not punish us (Wow..). The pace conitinued until evening. We had to help out with the Malam Kebudayaan. I don't remember what happend, but I'm sure we did our Power Rangers mix Indian dance and a sketch about a blur gangster (Derrick) and his hentchman (Jeremy) bullying a Pokemon (Kaili) and it's short trainer (me) and at the end, the Pokemon did a "super attack" and turned the blur gangster into an Indian (Ben). Haha! It was sucsessful and funny at the same time. I cound not help smilling at that time.
After MK, we talked to our guests from 159th Petaling (SMKBUD2) and 37th Petaling (SMKDJ). Ken, Jie Lin and Kun Yi talked to us about the sketch and happening events. After that, biovok!
This time we were kinda active. So we quickly build up our biovak but we ran out of time and had to hit the sack. Before that, we had marching and ketupat test.
The next morning, after breakfast, we continued our biovark after appogizing to Mr. Colin. We finished in time and head on to Monkey Bridge! We finished fast because it was kinda easy.
I can't recall much of the camp but it was a great experince! I'm really looking forward to another camp!
