Scouts Camp

It was kinda weird because i was considered a senior because i was form 4 but in actual fact i was as experienced as any other form 2. I joined the high 5 team ( high 5 is 5 badges you need to get in order to become a king scout). Well it was weird because i only had usaha badge. Ok. A little scouts lesson here. First as a pengakap muda, there are 3 badges to achieve. First is lencana usaha ( in form 1), then lencana maju ( form 2 ) and lencana jaya, ( form3).i only joined last year, so i only have usaha.

Then they made us (high 5 group) come earlier than everybody else to copy the log book. Haiz. Then as usual we set up the camp and stuff. then we had to build a gajet around 2.5 m high. there went my beauty sleep. so we kept building until like 2 then went to sleep just to take down the whole thing again the next day coz it wasn't stable. Then we had kawad, masakan rimba, kembara, latihan komander, malam kebudayaan, and solo camp.

Ok, now abt the solo camp. The plan was to drop us in the jungle alone for abt an hour to build our confidence or sth like that. But guess what. We were accompanied by millions of mosquitoes. Ok. I'm exaggerating. it wasn't millions but it was a lot. I didn't stop scratching. For those who saw the aftermath on my hands.....well you can guess what it was like. The solo camp started around 12 sth and we came back around 4 i think. this is all in the morning. The next day all went as usual.

Another thing was.....i was a real noob. I'm not very experienced you see, so i was like the newbie. I took like super long to cut a bamboo and still not successful. Then comes james or tuan ren and they will say like " aya, come let me do." Then in one strike, the bamboo was cut in half. Super depressing......haiz......

So tiring. Maybe i shud drop out from becoming a king scout. Who knows....maybe i will. But overall, it was kinda fun. could hang out with friends like chicky, james, ccj, andrew, sam, jun wei, hua chiam, kar yan, carol, jamie, min lei, joan, tuan ren and everyone else. So juz pray that i dun get denggi.

That is one reason why i did not join any uniform body... They torture you. I get more experience from just cleaning out my garden....
Mosquitoes... you don't use hands... my favorite weapon against them is chemical weapons.
