Yay! I survived. 3 days with no contact with the outside world. No INTERNET and TV. There was my handphone, but didn’t message anyone at all, except someone from the camp. Still, it is considered no contact with the outside world. And to add to the misery, it was a 3 consecutively of Chinese with no English. It was amazing how I survived.
For the last three days I was in a camp. Wushu camp to be exact. It was conducted in Genting Permai. Unknown to many, including me, Genting Permai is actually quite near to Genting Highlands. Actually it is near Awana. I didn’t know such places existed, as usually we would just drive up to Highlands. The place was ok actually. It was an apartment. And CW was being nice. They appointed 3 people one room which I thought wasn’t the best idea as one apartment could actually fit 5 and it would be just nice. To be frank, such a spacious place plus Genting was not exactly infamous for it’s ‘unsightly incidents’, it gave me the creeps, a little. I was appointed to stay with these two teachers of all luck. How boring! But ya there was nothing I could do but to accept it. The apartment we had had 2 rooms, one with double singles and one with queen bed. And guess what, I got the master bedroom, the one with queen size bed while the two teachers took the singles and slept together. Weird right? I agree. This was because they were scared to sleep alone. *smirk*
The first day, was nothing much. We were listening to lectures which basically I could understand nuts. At night we had to watch ‘Fearless’, which reminds me of our dance at the interact installation. Seeing in the second time was seriously boring and the part where they played it in Mandarin didn’t help much. I was seriously bored and the sit was so uncomfortable. I kept fidgeting during the whole show. Lucky for me, I brought chocolates and sweets to keep me awake.
Second day was moderate. The lectures were more. Practically the whole day we were listening to lectures. And it was really hard to comprehend. Sam knows how bad is my Chinese so ya, she wont be surprised to know I suffered much and how blur and confused I was during the whole thing. Thank goodness they had this telematch, which boosted our spirits. It was fun. There was 3 groups: A, B, and C. A and C group was having a dispute. I was in B. We were being very quiet and ‘gentlemen’ while we look on the other two groups fighting each other, criticizing each other. During the telematch, my group loss anyway. The other two groups tied, much to our dismay. And started arguing again. *Sigh* TCH and I just looked and laughed. We expected to lose, seeing that we had so many sleeping partners, 5 to be exact. During dinner, they found a way to decide the winner, through counting the age of the members, which in my point of view was a weird way to decide a winner. But whatever, doesn’t concern me. So at last, the winner was decided. A group!!! It was a good thing anyway, or else Unc Tim, would never give it a rest and there would be no peace for all of us. He started to provoke the C members though. Lolz. No offense, but he was kinda childish. That night we had a program which is called ‘Star Heart Talk’. God knows how they came up with this name but it is actually a program where you confess anything. Heart to heart talk. Except everyone hears you not one person only. After so many times of attending such a program, this one was a success. A few actually said stuff, a few cried. Unfortunately I was one of the crying people. Wow! Its been years since I actually cried. But ya, I was surprised. It is not always you will see the other side of these people. Being all emotional and sharing a part unknown to all of us. Yet, it was really vague and no one could comprehend anyway. Through this heart to heart talk, I started to realize there was something, something that I have suppress so long subconsciously it was like a problem I have been avoiding so long, not willing to face it at all. I broke down. I just felt so pressured. Serene and SL broke down too. Then we left that place and had our own talk. It was a relief to let out everything though. And I got to know someone better.
Third day was the most exciting and fun day. We went jungle trekking. It was fun, and the tracks were quite challenging. The only sucky part was the leeches. So many bitten me, I don’t know why. I thought I had 2.then today when I was watching the tv, I saw another red mark. Then only I realized I got sucked 3 times. =s Among all the jungle treks I went I enjoyed this the most. Maybe it is because of the company.There were some funny memories also. The whole trek was kinda hilarious at times. *smirk*
I really enjoyed the whole camp, although at times it was really boring at times. It was a good gateaway from all my problems. I really thank everyone for it. *looking with watery eyes*. It was a blast.
After the camp, we went out for dinner. My mom was not exactly keen of the idea though, but she was kinda cool about it when I came home though. Thank goodness.
