Kem PLKN Jugra Banting Kump1 Siri10/2013

I am back from PLKN~~ The actual date was 16/3/13 (Sat). What a happy + sad day....cry all over the place but at the same time felt grateful and happy because we can finally get back home. Sad because we have to say goodbye to all our wira and wirawati especially those who stayed far away from us like Sabah&Sarawakiansss....A song kept on rolling in my head - 'Tinggi-tinggi gunung kinabalu~tinggi lagi sayang sama kamu~~'. That's a song from Sabah entitled Sayang Kinabalu which most of the pelatih learned in this camp.

Kem PLKN Jugra Banting Kumpulan 1 Siri 10 Tahun 2013 - this is my camp! I'm in Alpha kompeni and A1 dorm. Proud and grateful to be part of it! Some sort of words can still be recalled - 'Saya, Voon dari kompeni Alpha meminta kebenaran untuk turun tuan!' This is the command that all of us have to shout LOUD LOUD before we can 'jump' down when we are playing flying fox and abseiling.

Gonna record down some of the activities that we have to carry out everyday in the camp so that I can still recall back in the future =)
Mon to Fri:
Usually we wake up at 5.45am, prepare everything and gather at the padang markas at 6.30am sharp! This is the place that we have to gather.

Padang Markas
After all the pelatih reported to the Penghulu, sing the lagu Negaraku, lagu khidmat negara, bacaan ikrar, bacaan doa and here comes the fun part! Morning exercise~~sometimes after warm up, we will have to go out of the camp and jog around the padang kelapa sawit...erm..its kindda fun but...we have to be very very very careful because the cattle's feces are all over the place...OMG...and you know all of us were gasping for oxygen gas that we really need for the exchange of what what what and all sort of chemical reaction in order for us to continue running but the smell of the sh*t just.... lol... speechless... haha...but anyway that's a good memory ya know! By the way, for every Wednesday there won't be any jogging or tiring exercises but we will do the aerobic exercise non-stop for half and hour and we really enjoy it =D

7.30am - Breakfast time! Food here are quite ok for me since I love spicy and malay food...haha...especially the nasi lemak!! Miss it sooo much...After breakfast we will have to get back to dorm carry out our duties to clean up the dorm, bath change to the proper cloths that the jurulatih want. Normally it will be the baju kelas.

8.30am - Gather once again at the padang markas and get ourself prepare to lapor diri again. 9.00am enter the class for some BORING lesson...lol....someone asked me what lesson do you have in NS... and the answer will be boring lesson...haha...and even questions like do they have brain-wash thingy inside? haha...it depends~ They taught us to love our country, ways to love our country and to protect our country from outsiders. Also there were some lessons about building up positive characteristics in yourself, good moral values, attitudes that should be practice when we step into the society in the future and a lot more... The way we have our class was just like studying in the kindergarten. We sat on floor, use magic colour to write on our books which are coloured pages and teacher will teach some tepuk tepuk and we will have to follow up.

10.30am - Tea time! Sometimes we will have donuts, bread, popiah, teh manis, coffee, 'milo' which I don't think its Milo brand la...and something like this which I like it too...


Overall all the food in tea time taste great! Don't criticize the food, just eat whatever that is good for your health or that can provide you the energy =) that is more than enough!

11.00am - Get back to class!

12.30pm - Lunch time~Sometimes it will be fish and some vegetables, and sometimes will be chicken. After lunch, get back to dorm and do whatever you want...haha...normally I'll use that time to wash my cloths, bath, read up the newspapers in the bilik rehat and the most important thing that I won't miss - that is sleep!

A1 wirawati dorm. The dorm need to be clean, bed need to be fold in proper way and  throw your cloths all over the place like this! this is a wrong example...because its Sunday =)

The washroom! 6 for shower, 6 for doing you 'business'. Everytime during the peak time ppl will shout in the bathroom:"siapa sudah mau siap? nak booking ni!'...funny!

drying our cloths...cloths that are provided from the plkn can be wash by the laundry or what we usually called dobi....however our own cloths must wash by ourself! 

Pool pool~~normally ppl won't use it...but when they are free, my dorm mates will clean up the pool, fill in some H2O and play inside the pool...I never did that...haaha...

Place to wash our cloths

Bangun pagi gosok gigi, cuci muka....
2.30pm - Listen to the announcement. Normally physical activities will be carry out. Kawat kaki, obstacles cross, station game...and I don't really remember...sometimes there will be some seminar/ceramah also...

4.30pm - Its tea time again!

5.30pm - Riadah! I love it the most coz we can relax and do some stretching/exercise like jogging, volleyball, soccer ball and others. Just do whatever you like!

6.30pm - Dinner~After that we will get back to our dorm and clean up...what I usually do is after everything was settled, we will immediately rush to the bilik rehat to watch drama from 8tv at 8.30pm to 9.30pm! haha...That time the drama was City Hunter!! Miss the moment~

Wednesday and Thursday there will be kelas kerohanian that is the religion class. Enter the class following your religion and for buddhist, we will 颂心经,回向. Listen to some 佛法, and sometimes teacher from 东禅寺 will let us watch movie like Ah Boys to Men...haha...

9.30pm/10pm - We will have roll call again sometimes at the dewan makan, sometimes at open hall and sometimes at the padang markas... This is to make sure that no body 'escape' from the camp...haha...


Saturday will be as usual lapor diri at the same time....after that we can relax!! Usually there will be ceramah but we will chitchat or sleep anyway....lol....what a bad pelatih..2.00pm for buddhist, we will be going to 东禅寺 for class and to be volunteer to help out everything in the temple. Everytime we will have some time to walk around especially during CNY! We went to help out in the 千人宴! Before we go back to camp, we will have our dinner there, thanks to those who cook the 斋菜 for us!

Photo with some besties!

Happy CNY


Sunday will be the visit day!!! My baba mama didi gorgor came every week..really appreciate them a lot! They brought lot of healthy and delicious food for me...haha....

There were also special activites like deng deng deng deng - M16! out of 100 marks, I obtained 61...erm...ok ok la...at least pass ma...haha...TUDM ppl taught us ways to hold the rifle and we don't need to do anything, just aim and shoot...lol....

Boom boom boom...it sound like firework!

M16
This is the peak one...the last activities before we can graduate....camping for 2 days 1 night...At first all of us thought it is in the jungle but....it is at the beach side! lol...really zadao!

Family Trip to Penang

This is another story in 2012 that I wanna jot it down because this is a happy memory!

29/9/12 (Sat)

The whole family went off from Cheras, KL to Butterworth and Pulau Penang today~ Hooray~Had so much fun. We departed at about 6.30am and reach Butterworth at 11 something. On the way to Butterworth, we stop by a R&R station near Taiping to have our breakfast and continue our journey after that. The purpose of us going to Butterworth is actually to attend our relative's wedding. Of course we can't miss the chance to go to Penang since we are so close to it!
Roughly about 2.30pm after we had our lunch at the bridegroom's house, we immediately went off to Penang. We paid RM7 to cross the Penang bridge~

Penang Bridge!!!

Side view~
The first location that we went was Kek Lok Shi, I don't really sure whether my spelling correct or not~~ However, it's too bad that we didn't reach the top because insufficient of time! And we never think of to drive to the top...We just keep on walking along the street and people are selling all kind of stuff~

The street selling all kind of stuff.

After tiring footsteps, finally we reach one of the temple. Although we did make it to the top, the view here was amazing and beautiful!
Kek Lok Shi
Amitabha~




nice view isn't it?


Bros!


Family walking down to move to the next destination~~
We've also visited a lot of places and eaten lots of food...A plate of char kuey teow costed us RM7.50!!! Wow!!! We're sooooo soooo soooo surprise upon hearing how much the char kuey teow cost! But its worth it because there were a plenty of big big prawns and it really taste good!

 Penang Ice-Kacang! With an ice-cream on the top and it taste a little bit like pepsi~

Penang cendol and ice kacang! love it~~

Fried Oysters! 蚝煎...RM16!

Penang Char Kuey Teow RM7.50! Delicious~~~yummy

After a whole day of visiting, finally we went back to Butterworth by ferry. This is my first time going onto a ferry by car! Let the photos tell it all~~

Entering the ferry in car!

This is the second floor of the ferry...car parked side by side and the middle is for the  passenger.

We used to call this as horse! haha...it is actually used to hang up heavy goods and put into the boats.

Can you spot it? Star cruise!

The Penang Bridge!


Went back to Ipoh after some attending the wedding in penang. and this is what I like abt the house in Ipoh!

Fresh air, calm, free from pollution!

Lots of sunflower at the yard~
And our happy trip ends here =) Love my family!

New Year New Beginning

Happy New Year! Its 2013 and that means I am 20 now! Oh gosh....will never ever go back to the age started with number 1...Just finished my STPM 2012 on 12/12/12...and there is no such thing as the end of the world since everyone went through 21/12/12 safely.

Hmmm, I would like to make a conclusion for 2012~ Overall, 2012 was a good year for me...

Academic - Got a moderate result in my trial exam.... and hopefully, I'll get a 4 flat in my STPM!!! Although ...I know.... its kindda hard.....

Co-Curriculum - Satisfied! Hold a position as the Editor 2011/2012,president of Badan Ketua Kelas and also as the assistant monitor for my dearest class PPU UA1 2012!! Love all my classmates~~ miss them so much! And I am looking forward to have a look at the school magazine! It is just like my little baby...haha...

Family - Attend for a funeral and 2 wedding this year if I am not mistaken. Congraz once again to my cousin brother who just got married on 30/12/12! 终于获得美人归!Really love the services in the restaurant~

Friends - Meet a lot of newbies this year especially the juniors~ Hope that they can get flying colours in their first term STPM examination! And I felt gratefully because my bffs are still good with me and we contact each other all the time!

Waiting for the letters from Jabatan PLKN for my kemasukan semula but this morning when I called to the jabatan, the cik said that my name is not in the first batch! Oh gosh, so frustrated! Last time I can't get the first batch and have to postponed to continue my studies...why don't they give me the first batch now!! Only 3months for me to work...

Made an appointment to get the HPV vaccination on Feb...After the first injection, we will have to wait for another month for the second injection and finally the last injection which is the third one will be after 6months from the 2nd injection...phew...just wanna make sure that everything is alright  =)

Congraz to my bffs that got their job! I am still hunting for it...since the PLKN don't want me, I am going to work now! An unemployed fella here hunting for jobs!! Called to a few companies just now but father said that area always had traffic jam....don't allow me to go...haiz....dissapointing... Mom ask me why don't I continue to work with the boss last time...I don't want to because I wanna have some experience to work in a place where no body knows me and I don't know anyone else~ Some more my boss asked me to teach SPM english?! Oh..I really have no confidence at all...just look at my broken english....lol....mou ngan tai~ Try to be a guru ganti in a primary school? Erm...still trying to get more information on it!

前几天到Bukit Tinggi去当义工!是个佛教团体在当地举办法会和坐禅。而我的工作就是洗厕所,扫地,抹地,洗碗,搬搬抬抬的,蛮累的!可是很不错,得到非常多难能可贵的经验~~

4/1/12,星期五
一大早到了三姑姑的家,等人来载。。。谢谢KK安全的载我到达目的地!抵达那里就开始到处参观参观。真可惜没有相机。。。因为地方真的很漂亮!有山有水,山明水秀!不错不错~~ 常澜师早就在里面开工了!经过她一番解释,原来那里原本是个度假村,好心人把它捐出来当祠堂用!参观完毕,开工咯!第一项任务就是把佛台擦得干干净净!erm...由于本人从小就不太斯文,摆放杯子会有敲撞的巨响!eh...其实也不太大声啦。。。maybe? 常澜师说:“在这里,做事要轻轻的哦!”。。。 。。。哈哈。。。真不好意思。。。我会改地!洗刷刷洗刷刷!擦干净后的第二个工作。。。tada~~ 就是洗厕所!常澜师给我一些guideline...haha...要把厕所洗干净。所谓的干净,就是要干干的,因为只要干,就会净!有道理!洗刷刷大概一小时,终于把厕所洗干净了!然后到厨房makan makan dulu! 认识到不少义工们,大多数是30-60的家庭主妇。然后帮忙插花。大约傍晚的时候帮刘太织布。这是要放在佛桌上的布垫。到了晚上,洗个澡,吃个饭,扫个地,开个会,睡个觉!

5/1/12,星期六
早上 5.30am 就要起床了!这里的气候真的还蛮冷的!刷个牙,换件衣,就到大典去扫地了。然后义工们要我泡杯咖啡顶肚子。啊!只不过。。。本人不能喝咖啡!否则后果不堪设想!到时还要义工们来照顾我了!哈哈!所以被我挖到了一包麦片~ alas perut~ 大约7点早上,不少信徒来到了!真早!我们就准备了早茶。9点钟法会开始了!我还在洗碗。。。哈哈。。。法会严肃庄严!不得说话!门口都贴有禁语,止步,禁止吸烟,禁止穿鞋的标语!部分义工负责接待客人。而我和其余的义工们只能在后面(厨房)静静聆听。不得出入!以免影响到法会。Aunty们都在细语聊天说笑,爆笑的时候要忍着!哈哈哈!弄得我哭笑不得!肚子好疼!法会完毕后,大家聚在一起聊天。而我就在房里睡觉。。。哈哈。。。因为聊天话题不适合我。。。都是大人的话题。。。晚上没煮,我跟随大人们到kampung makan。。。令我有点意外的是,有些菜肴是肉来的。。。师傅有在,可以吃肉meh? 我也不清楚,也不好意思问。。。经典的是,上桌时来了一只鸡,有些义工说,只鸡吃斋的,吃得吃得!LOL....无言!晚上,回到大典清理,洗个澡就睡了!临睡前收到师傅给的红包和符。谢了!

6/1/12,星期日
早上4.30am 就被义工们梳洗的声音吵醒。就把被子和行李收好,因为今天要回家了!一如既往,扫大典,洗厕所,洗碗碟,搬搬抬抬。。。都要轻轻的哦!不能发出声音!今天的节目是坐禅!很不错!信徒们也一大早到了!师傅和一些师兄教导大家念咒语。。。我也学了,可是真的很对不起因为忘了!不容易!来坐禅的客人须完成七支香的时间!每支香大约45分钟。休息后再继续。直到七支香完毕!坐禅时不断念咒。。。不容易哦!我只念了一支香。因为之后要开工了!帮客人们准备吃的喝的还有碗碟。七支香完毕,大约已经5点了。然后师傅讲座,解释咒语的意思。。。头脑简单的我,听不太懂师傅的深奥理论!哈哈!真失败。。。 而且还有点睡意。。。不好意思啦。。。真的有点闷。。。讲座完毕后已经6.30pm 了!大家赶快收拾东西,回家咯!谢谢常澜师载我回家,教我礼佛三拜,问讯。感恩!
