Troop Camp June 2007-Report

Yeah man this is a great camp !!! actually I should say that this is my 'dream ' camp. Yes i dreamed to have such a camp, sleeping in a double decker, have all the gadget in the camp especially able to have to a proper black box and gateway.... never had all these together in one camp since i was in form 1, but back then the black box was just a hole covered with a piece of fly sheet and the gateway was just two bamboo tied to the trees, and for all the previous camps that i have been to was either having only the black box or only the gateway. For this camp we had 2 BLACK BOX !! With platforms!!! haha maybe some of you maybe wondering why is Seck Houng so excited about the black box ? Because people always say that a public toilet reflects a nation, so I think that a Black box can reflect how good is a camp! NExt time we should spend more time to build a 5-star black box with soil flush, tissue paper holder, roof, lights, handers, and maybe even a pocket for mp3 so we can listen to music while doing some big business, hahaha tat time everyone will be lining up to go to the black box, n we shall call it a toilet camp!!! .... i am thinking way too fAR.
(above)The toilet built by the heroic Geoffrey KOk that resisted the smelly aroma and put his life to to build this amazing black box !!!!!( u may refer him as the black box hero........ )

Great activities- one of the most successful activity is Backwoodsman cooking, though Alwin started the fire, KIn Meng prepared the soil n food , I didn't do much in this activity, but this is the 1st time all the food we cooked was edible and none of it was wasted, we did mud fish, mud egg, underground egg, mud chicken, baked potato.... I learnt a lot from this activity.

Pak Zham KAi (mud chicken)

Another activity that i enjoyed was boat building, we made a suppose-to-be-speed-boat raft using bamboo as the material n veins as ropes. WE named it BLACK PEARL, it wasn't the fastest but it was the strongest, the lashing on the boat was still tight till the day we left....which is actually just the next day

Setting up a good komando course wasn't that easy.... we seted up the course but it was just "mah-mah-tei"... I kept on asking the juniors what is the best activity, but none of hem gave a remark on the halangan komando.... :( as if they all forgotten about it, but never mind the next time i will set a super course to torture them n make them remember it for ever HAHHAHA.. so evil.

Can you believe it we actually practised for the malam kebudayaan ??? all the seniors n scouters, kept on singing n singing for such a long period that i think that all the juniors knew wat we were going to per form later..... But when it came to the real performance all of us were just too tired, pressured, stage fright, and didn't performed well.However the main purpose of the performance was to inspire the juniors to make use of the natural racecourses around us such as bamboo to make different types of instruments... i even made a flute out of a bamboo , don't believe me??

Overall this camp has less activities activity compared to the last one, but it is great....

n great people in the camp.... All of us were great. 1st time hiked in the camp site so fast, chopped the 60 bamboos by 2 pm n start sleeping by 12 on the first day!!! Unbelievable!! Until now i am still wondering r we just lucky to have bamboo by the river side or we r so CHUN?? Whatever i am very happy with the first day progress though we did some mistakes.....

Am I friendly during the camp?? I don't think so ..... some of them just looked so sad lonely all alone in the camp, i felt bad that i can help them. But I think i am quite linear during the camp, actually if can i will not wan to down anyone in camp because it is just a waste of time n energy.... Next time IF i still got the chance punishment shouldn't be pumping, but instead " Go make me 5 candle holder and 10 hanger for me !!!" tat way we can put all the energy in to good use, hahaha n this is called energy efficiency !!

Good food... I tasted the best spaghetti in camp !! It was very delicious the sauce was very thick n creamy, Good job Caely !! Just tat the serving was a little bit small.....n tat also explains why the camp fee is only RM 26, excluding transportation ( sponsored by troop )

So after reading this long entry, the conclusion is : the camp rox!!!

BTW we were surposed to go back after lunch, but we went back early n reached school by 1030, n guess who we met?? Or should i say who spotted us ?? Yes Yes Its our Penolong kanan Kurikulum ......so now i have to prepared a complete paper work from A-Z, telling him wat is going on....... Now let me quote the famous dialog from spiderman " With great camp come with a great work load of paperwork"

So now for the moment that is all for the mid-year camp, next up will be 21st WSJ , n maybe i try to have a senior camp for the F4s during the next term holidays?? anyone interested..?

So, now the real conclusion for this entry ..... Anyone willing to help me with my paperwork???
