After spending several days living in the outdoors with our dear distant relatives-the monkeys, I have come to develope a higher and finer apprecation for all things that run on electricity, is shiny and have a screen. And I have also grew fonder of my tilam. Yes, it is indeed enlightening to be finally reunited with civilization.hurray!!





DESPITE-

-Despite the three minute baths ONCE a day,
-Despite being awaken at three in the morning for a game,
-Despite having to cramp with four other people in a tiny camp,
-Despite having to stand outside during a thunderstorm due to the fact my camp turned into a mini waterbed dammit,

-Despite having to hold back tears while cooking from a mini inferno,
-Despite having to drink purple seaweed soup,
-Despite having to sacrifice my beloved pair of sneakers,
-Despite suspecting I've developed a lifelong phobia of the sound of whistles commander,sir i forgive you,

-Despite having to sing "lang hua yi duo duo" ABOUT A MILLION TIMES,
-Despite the monkeys stealing part of our lunch,
-Despite having to run up AND down the hill about 5 times a day,
-Despite being drenched from head to toe in a jolly combination of water, flour,toothpaste and mud.....

I ENJOYED MYSELF.
I'M NOT SUFFERING FROM A CONCUSSION.
I speak THE TRUTH AND ONLY NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.

I REALLY REALLY ENJOYED IT.

In case you are wondering, sweetmotherofheaven how can you possibly live through that ordeal AND ACTUALLY ENJOYED IT? SADASTIC FREAK I am not. I don't deny there were moments where I found it was too challenging and started to wonder if this was all a huge mistake. But to tell the truth, there wasn't much time to brood about well, ANYTHING. They made sure we were kept busy the whole day.


Any busier I would have to resort to using a straw to eat.

Sure, it was an exausting 102 hours/6120 minutes/367200 seconds, but heck the experience was worth it. Who cares if I had less than 5 hours sleep everyday? if my grandmother can do it, so can I!!

On another note, next semester is coming up!!
AND I STILL HAVEN'T LAZED AROUND ENOUGH!!!
I need more T.I.M.E

Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder


After getting dismissed from our final and last meeting before heading off to camp, me and my team mates headed off to gather firewood and some dry leaves around the tarc campus area. who says KL has no firewood? Anyway, being very impatient and unreasonable people as we are, we tried to finish the task as quickly as possible just so to get our lazy arses back home and sleep.

So we took the easy way out and searched only for huge branches.

Luck must have been playing a joke on us or something cause we did indeed find a small fallen tree around tarc main entrance. Problem was, we didnt have a knife with us. So what did we do? Try to break it la. Takkan just sit and stare right? So we jumped on the tree trunk. But still cannot break. wtf-ness.

I suppose we must have looked so stupid that a pak cik came out from his car and offered to help us by lending us with swiss army knife. Either that or he was suddenly hit by nostalgia from his camping trips as a young boy. But I'm kinda betting he helped us caused we looked so ridiculous Whatever. Point is, he came out to help us.

While my team mate was happily hacking away at the trunk, I galanced up and noticed that the pak cik was wearing a ntv7 badge.Do all ntv7 people travel with swiss army knives with them I wonder? So I asked him what brought him to this area? Smiling,he pointed at the tarc main entrance. AND I SAW THIS.

TARC CLEANING LADIES SEDANG MOGOK!!

Apparently the college hasn't given't them a pay raise in 30 years!! AND their pay is only RM 500 per month!! aduhai, so stingy. How to survive? So, armed with manila cardboards of various colors and sizes, they protest LAR!! kesian, puasa also need to mogok They asked people to honk as a sign of support. I however,with no car to honk, just gave them a thumbs up.

I knew there was something amiss when I entered the toilet and saw approximately twenty cleaning ladies putting makeup and adjusting their hair this morning.

Ceh, now I know. They were dolling up for the media!

This is my last entry before heading off the the LTC (leader-sheep training camp in air keroh) Tomorrow, I'll be back in TBR because my team mates will be tumpang-ing at my house for a night.Bed and Breakfast kononnye.

Will be back by thursday evening. Handphones are strictly prohibited so yes, I will be M.I.A (missing in action) for several days.no handphones. no internet. no radio. no watches. and yes, this is a real camp where you need to start your own fire and and cook your own food.ITS LIKE SURVIVOR!! (with toilets!)

This is gonna be so different from the other camps I went to. (All of them were convieniently held in hotels with ROOM SERVICE. haha! very atas huh?) Anyway, wish me luck!
