Apologies

Sorry for the lack of update, I don't know why I suddenly can't access into my blogspot account after a long while of not updating it.

Well I'll update you on what happened lately, I went to my 32nd INTIMA Council Camp 2007 on the 4th - 6th November. I would say, it's a mixture of happiness and sadness on what happened during the camp. During the camp, we did Sea Rafting, Group Activities, Obstacle Course, Compass Marching and Night Walk.
I'll start with the good part, I get to know more about the people in my college. Apart from that, I've learned some valuable lesson in teamwork.
Now the bad part, I've learned that, people around me calculate a lot on how many good deeds you've done before they will think of helping you.

I'll elaborate it slowly from day 1 to day 3 :)

Day 1
I arrive at Eagle Ranch, Port Dickson at 10.30 am, the dorm was not ready until 5.00 pm (Bad Service). So we did some team building stuff like making a flag and creating a motto and a cheering dance. After that, we had our sea rafting and it was really tiring because I was flapping my paddle like a nut cracker. I've even jumped into the sea to get my flag.. barely can swim because i don't wanna drop my spectacles ! The flag kept floating away as we kept paddling nearer to it =.=. After the sea rafting, our dorms were ready and we moved our luggage into the dorm. This is the bad part, I've asked for help because I have some back problem and can't carry heavy things and you know what, earlier ago, my friend that asked me to help him picked up some of his luggage while he did saw me filled with my heavy backpack + a luggage and another plastic bag at another hand. Already no one helped me, and I replied, I'll see first because I need to put my stuff in the Hall Room first. When I came back out, he was no where and my friend had already helped him. So continuing from moving my luggage from the Hall to the Dorm which is like 2 KM far, I tried to call out for help, the friend of mine that heard my request didn't even bothered because I didn't help him earlier ago. How selfish and calculative can he be. So nvm, I don't want to strain my back and picked up my things 1 by 1, I had to make 2 rounds while my friend laughs behind my back. What a "friend". There was no hot water during at night to make my maggie mee T_T. I'm so hungry you know ... my stomach kept grumbling like a mad man but luckily I had some apple to bite on ^_^.

Day 2
I had my breakfast, today, we had a team building session again, we had to build a tall tower using just newspaper, my team did very well but we only managed to get 2nd :P. Then, it was time for lunch and gosh I must say, 3/4 of the food served during lunch and dinner are spicy food and I am not a big fan of spicy food. After lunch, we were suppose to have a group performance and my team decided on a drama. However, the performance was moved forward to night time while replacing it with obstacle course. During the obstacle course activity, my first aid officer forgot to get his first aid kit and the organizing chairperson asked me to get it from the "hall" but I thought I heard as in the guy's dorm so she gave me a bunch of keys. Well little did I know, the keys didn't work and I thought she gave me the wrong keys and I quickly ran 2 KMs away from the dorm back to the obstacle course area so make that back and forth = 4KM. She scolded me "Little things you can't even do" without even listening to my explanation. Well that's great, she made it as if I ruined her whole activity in case of someone getting injured during the obstacle course.
Anyways, during the obstacle course, our team which was the 1st group got 3rd place of the 3 groups. Mainly because our team has different sizes of members while the other teams were fit for obstacle course but anyways, it's all about team in the end. After that, I went to bath and had dinner. Soon after, it was compass marching time, whereby we move inside the forest based on the compass and the given bearing. 1 of our group member clumsily lost the compass on the way which was quite impossible because it had a string to be attached on his neck. I was told that it cost RM90+ and the whole team decided to share the burden to pay for it. Yet again, my team took 2x the amount of time compared to the other 2 teams to get through the forest. Probably we were just beginners but anyways we managed to reach our destination safe and sound. After that, it was lights off, but not many people wanted to sleep and the whole group of 20 - 25 people decided to play volleyball late at night lol. We played until 2.30 am and I decided to go back to my dorm and have my shower and sat down to look at the sky which had like 100+ over stars. I think I managed to catch a glimpse on a shooting star ^_^. That's for day 2.

Day 3
Basically, 1 of the organizer decided to cancel the morning exercise. I had my breakfast at 8 am, gosh I wish that I can sleep longer .. I slept like 3 am :S. Then, we had our outdoor game which consist of water balloon war and blindfold marching. After that, we had our tea break and had our photo session and prize giving and soon after, we had our lunch ^_^. We had 1 hour to pack up but some decided to spend time to play on go-kart, cycling and play UNO ^_^. We departed back to KL at 3.00 pm and reached my college at 5.30 pm.

Overall Injuries:
7 mosquito bites
Blue and black right hand from volleyball
1 Human Bite (A girl bit me in my bite, She must have been hungry @_@)
Muscle pain

That's all ^_^ Right now I'm having my 1 month and 3 weeks holiday, still figuring what to do with it, maybe I'll go work as a part timer ... still looking around ~
