I was joining the MAICSA Leadership Camp this year,this is the first time that i am joining such activity in KL,not even in my life of ACCA studies.
Me and Yee Ling met at Wangsa Maju LRT and we reached the Bangsar LRT at 7.30am,we chit chat with others from TAR while waiting for the rest to come,at about 8.00am,we depart from Bangsar LRT and reached the Dusun Eco Resort at about 9.00am,the Dusun Eco is situated at the Bentong,it is a place which is secluded from the city and gave us a very natural feel as we are surrounded by trees,in here,you can't hardly see tall buildings,buses and also cars passing through..We are going by those big bus sekolah,so since the resort is situated quite high level,therefore we need to transfer to another lorry which it will send us to the main entrance of the resort.The feeling when sitting on the lorry is like playing the corksrew in Genting,it is exciting yet scary.
After we reached the main entrance,the staffs gave us the room key,since there is already 3 of us,so we need to find another roommate as one chalet fit 4 people.After that,we need to go to the office to take the bedsheet and pillow cover as we need to fix that ourselves,even though it is the name resort,but it is not really a resort that we can normally imagine.
Then we were asked to meet at the field to start the first activity,we are not allowed to wear jeans,i forget to bring the long track bottom,so i had no choice but to wear the short pants.The 1st activity is the obstacles course.I feel a bit nervous when i see those obstacles as i never try such activity before and i think it is quite difficult for me to try it out.We were divided into 7 groups with 6 of us in 1 group.My team got 4 girls and 2 boys,i think it is quite a good mix as for some activity,the guy can help us out.
The first one is Tembok,the instuctor first explain to us and teach us how to climb over the tembok,but since most of us are girls and our arms can't really support us when we jump over,therefore we need the help of the guy.At first i was quite scare,but just want to see whether i can make it,after finish it,it gives me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.Then the later one should be no big problem,even though some of it are not tough,but we need to use out hands and legs to make it out,so there are bruises and scratches after completing it.
Then we had our lunch,the lunch got fish,prawn,vege,but all cooked in Malay style,so almost everything is hot and spicy,and the drink they gave also syrup.I dare not eat too full as i know later still got activity.After washing our plates,then we were asked to gather at the field again.This time is bamboo rafting.We were divided into 4 groups and each group was given 30 minutes to make our own raft with the bamboo sticks,water containers and also the ropes.The challenge will be we need to make our own raft from zero and also sail it over a short distance over a small lake.Luckily we got 2 guys in our team where they can help us tighten the rope tightly.Even though it is like that,our raft was not very stable and tough,therefore for each trip,only 3 of us can sit on it,and it is glad that the raft still can sail for at least 3 trips,it is so funny that the raft of one of the team was broken half way when they are going to sail,and all the people sit on it being thrown into water and become water duck.Even though after that all of us are wet,but i think all of us enjoyed and it is cool to swim in the lake also....
Each team was asked to create a team song which it must comprise the word "I love MAICSA!","I Love ICSA!",i told the staff that why make us so "patriotic",but finally we still manage to come out with a song amended from the song "Top of the World" and also we sang the Ah Niu song,"du mian de nui hai kan guo lai",but we just manage to get the 4th place,it is still ok,at least not the last 2 which will be punished.....
So after that,we were asked to go to the lorry again and this time we were sent to the entrance of the jungle.We got Night jungle walk and at that time it is 11.30pm.The instructor first warned us not to speak something bad inside,can't play and must follow one by one.Then later he start to pray,at that moment,i felt a bit scare coz i think the surrounding is quite scary.It gave me an uncomfortable feeling but i will still go on to try it out.Inside the jungle,we can hardly see anything clearly as every way is dark,beside that i also dare not look around as i scare that i would see something that i not supposed to see,so just take my torchlight to light my way as we need to climb up and down,so we must be careful or else we may get hurt easily.When we finally finished 90% of the journey,it is around 12.30am,so i think this is the first time that my mooncake festival is celebrated inside a jungle,few of us are singing the song"yuan liang yuan" for a small part.
After all,we all are tired and when we reached the chalets,we quickily change the cloth and set the alarm and sleep.It is cold and i did not realise that time pass so fast,it is so tired till i can sleep like pig.So we quickily change the cloth and go to have out brakfast as we need to start the final activity.This time is the Flying fox.When i saw it from down,it seems like so scary as it is about 10th floor high,and before reaching the platform,we need to go over a long long bridge which is hanging over ,i was so nervous when i was walking over it as it is swinging,but since it is half way,so i just tell myself that you can make it you can make it to reach the platform.Then the instructor helps us to set up the things,2 of us in a group and he try to push you until your foot can't reach the land and fly out.Wau,it is so fun flying in the sky,at that moment,i don't even think that i am scare or what,in fact after that,i am wishing to try it one more time.
After the flying fox then it is time to pack out belongings as we are going back to KL.Before we left the resort,each of us is taking photo for memory.Then we get into the bus again and reach Bangsar LRT at 1.30pm.So the 2 days 1 night trip ends there.
This is the first time i am joining such camp,in fact i would not joining it if not because of my friends asking me,i have a fear in carrying out such outdoor activities sometimes and that make me not dare to join.And for certain things like the obstacles,i always have a fear that i am not able to do that,and also deny myself before i really carrying out.But after all,even though i can say it is the environment push me to go on,i think myself get an imporatant message,"You never know whether you can make it or not before you try!",sometimes we always think that saying is easier compare to action,but do we really try to do what we said before we really saying that we cannot.I think after joining this camp,it helps on my personal development,i believe i will be more brave on trying out the new things next time.
