State Camp 2009

Dear members, many apologies for the delayed post. Here it is, state camp 2009 held @ Kuala Selangor.

State Cadet Camp 2009

Date : 17th - 21st December 2009
Venue : SMK Sultan Abdul Aziz, Kuala Selangor

DAY 1

Fellow participants gathered at the school. First, we had registration, followed by a short briefing. Then, it was time for us to pitch our tents. After successfully pitching our tents under the blazing noon sun, we had lunch and followed by ice breaking games. We were divided into teams of different countries around the world. :) Our first activity was to paint our group's flag using only materials that were given. After cleaning up, we had opening ceremony. Once the ceremony was over, we had free time to bath and then it was dinner! After dinner, it was our very first course (Knowledge of The Order). As the course ended, we had supper and that wrapped up our first day of camp. :)

Our very own members at the campsite. :)

DAY 2

We gathered at the tapak at 7 and had our morning exercise. A Qi Gong master was brought to teach us QiGong. We had breakfast after that. Then, it was our first examination of the 5 days camp, which was the Knowledge of The Order. It was a written test. Once we were done with the exam, we attended a course on Care in The Community. It was presented by a nurse on Denggue Fever and H1N1. :) Lunch was next. We were supposed to self cook but due to unfortunate event (the rain!) we got to use the stove they had, to cook. Lunch took quite a long time because groups had to take turns to use the stove. It was still pouring when we had to attend the next course - Fire Fighting and Prevention. This talk was given by a fire fighter. After the course, it was time for some activities! We were brought to Bukit Malawati. :) There's a lighthouse up on the hill. Not to mention, we were greeted by monkeys! xD

Du Division members taking a picture with the lighthouse. :)

A group picture. Say "DU DIVISION!" :D

Another "family" photo. :)

One more, but missing a few "family" members.

With Mdm Eng :)

Form 4 (2010) members. :)

We jogged all the way down the hill back to school when it was time to go back to the school. We had time to bath and then it was time for dinner. After dinner, we sat for two tests. (Care in The Community & Fire Fighting and Prevention). Then it was followed by supper and day 2 ended.

DAY 3
We had morning exercise in the morning then breakfast was served. Then, we attended a course - Fitness. After the course, we had to self cook again. After eating lunch that was cooked by ourselves, we had another course (Administration Skills). Once the course was over, we had a telematch! It was full of fun-filled games! After the tiring telematch, we had dinner and then sat for 2 tests (Fitness & Administration Skills). Had supper and that wrapped up day 3.

DAY 4
Everyone rise and shine at 7 in the morning. We had morning exercise again. Then it was breakfast and followed by our last course of the 5 days long camp - Home Skills. Lunch was self cooking again. After lunch, we sat for our last tests and it was time for games! We had station games and it was really really fun! :) After using up all our strengths in the games, it was time to recharge! Yes, it was dinner time! After dinner, it was campfire night!

The scenery was really really beautiful that night. :) While we were having our campfire, many stars in the sky accompanied us. :)

Our camp commander lighting the campfire. The campfire was really pretty!

Our division represented KSTU in performing a dance to JaiHo!

DAY 5

It was the last day of camp. We had the usual morning exercise in the morning, followed by breakfast and closing ceremony. Prizes were also given out, e.g best group leader, best group etc.
KSTU won second place in campfire performance. :) Once closing ceremony was over, we broke our tents and it was finally time to go home..

All in all, it was a good experience, and dear fellow members, do enrol yourself in the next state camp! :):) You definitely wouldn't regret. :)

DAY 1, 20 February 2009

Campers started coming in as early as 6.45pm, just as the Afternoon Session was dismissed.

Registration of all you awesome campers was carried out by the Camp Secretary Hong Ling and Camp Cleanliness Inspector Hsu Zen.

Campers were given colour-coded name tags.

Registration

The Macho SLs and Camp Committee helped campers carry their luggage to the Luggage Room. When everyone had registered, campers gathered at the Assembly Groud. They were welcomed and briefed on the Rules and Regulations by the Camp Disciplinarian Manoj.

Then, squads pitched tents together!

Halfway through tent-pitching, Mother Nature decided to give us a break from the recent hot weather.

Yes, you guessed right - it started to rain.

However, the rain did not dampen our Camp Spirit!

-

Once tents were pitched, campers moved to the Activity Room for Ice-breaking; Squad Introductions!

All squads showed such creativity when delivering their Squad Names and Squad Chants.

And despite the pouring rain, campers were as lively as ever!

And guess who decided to drop by? :)

Ah, none other than our Beloved Board of Directors 2007/2008!

Our Board of Directors 2008/2009 were also present!

Once all the Squads were properly introduced, we moved on to the second part of ice-breaking.

Hey, isn't camp all about getting to know other members? ;)

The rain eventually subsided and we carried out our next activity. Instead of the regular "Operasi Burung Hantu", the Camp Committee of 2009 decided to play a new card - 'Night Treasure Hunt'.
ooohhh..ahhhh..

Squads were once again tested on their ability to work together and brainstorm on mind-boggling clues.

After the squads have managed to discover A.C, supper was served in the Activity Room.
All the campers were greeted with hot, steaming choco milk and a couple of crunchy Tiger biscuits prepared by our lovely Quartermasters; Nikita, Joyce and Hashveena.

Due to the rain, some tents experienced minor floods. Campers were given the choice to either sleep in one of the few dry tents or in the classroom.
The campers that had guts chose tents, of course. ;)

Lights out ; 12.30 am.

Night shifters were placed by our Camp Disciplinarian.

Day 2, 21 February 2009

Campers who decided to sleep in because they were exhausted from the previous night's activities {*wiggles eyebrows*} were greeted with this lovely baybeh.

Hee. As warned. :)

Then everyone gathered at the assembly ground for the first activity of the day; Morning Exercise!

Awesome stuff, really.

It was lead by the camp Treasurer, Yi Jean!

-

After working up an apetite, breakfast was served.

Ample of time was given after breakfast for the campers to wash up and get themselves propped up for the Opening Ceremony.

After all the formalities, everyone changed back to tees and tracks and started back-wooding.

The traditional backwoods menu - fried rice. :D

Starting of the fire was demonstrated by the men of the Camp Committee.

Squads began to light their own fires soon after.

Smoke was everywhere.

After that tasty meal, QMs had to clean up while campers had some free time before the next activity.

Isn't the circle just so perfect? ;D

-

After that, campers were briefed on the Obstacle Race.

There were 8 stations altogether.

#1 Walking on Ropes

Campers were required to complete their "journey" from one end of the rope to the other.

# 2 The Chair and Cup Race

Campers had to transport the water from point A to B by using two chairs and two man power.
Surely this is an opportunity to build up team work, no? ;)

#3 Mud Crawl

Didn't you guys just love this? :D A free mud bath. Woot~

#4 Flour and Sweets

Campers definitely had an awesome and also free makeover! ;)

#5 Find Your Tokens.

Didn't the handwash feel good?

#6 Egg and Armpits.
hohoho, doesn't the name itself disgust you? XD

#7 Ping-Pong Ball Float!

It was definitely a moment for the guys to show off their sexy bodies *winks* ;)

During their 6th station, SL of each squads were "kidnapped" by our very own committee leaving the ASL's in charge. At the final station, the squad members together with their ASL's had to save their SL's from the "injuries" left behind by our evil committee. x)

-

After all the squads have finished their course, time was given to wash all the flour and the mud and the oil and other unknown things.

But lo-behold, the boys' toilets water supply was shortened. =x

And the girls' too had the same problem.

But just in a matter of time, everyone managed to clean up and start feeling the MK jitters.

-

MK started at 8.30pm.

The emcees for the night were Yi Jean and Devinia Sunshine.

All squads were creative with their performances.

Some were very sporting and others were LOL-rated.

Then, the campers were surprised with a lil something that the camp committees cooked up - a beautiful campfire. :)

Sang some campfire songs and danced around it.

-

Members soon got tired after that. Lights out; 12.15.
