Late updates on the camping trip as I was super tired these past couple of days...

2nd day

The 2nd day started very early for us the facilitators..We woke up at 5.30 am(cause by an alarming wake up call!!crikey!!) and we went to bed like an hour before but,we were raring up for the day ahead.At 10.30 am we went into the jungle and it was a second time jungle trekking for me as I did once during a trip back in high school.We went through muddy swamps,rivers,and a gorgeous waterfall.There were times when one or more of us was going to fall because there were steep A little mishap happened with one of the girl participants and it made the boys & Ustaz who arrived at the camp waaaay earlier than us girls,came rushing back to our rescue.

Afterwards,I was like,do we have to go back the way that we came to the waterfall(which means we would be at the camp at night time since it was already 5 something)???Turns out there was a shortcut!!!Phewww.Had lunch at 5.30 pm with the other peeps as we only had sardine sanwiches in the jungle.I didn't carry anything with me to the jungle except for a bottle of mineral water which I accidentally left somewhere in the jungle..ehehe.

At night,me,Fazi,Fufu,Akmal & Jasmine went out to buy stuff and had satay & abc.Before we got there,we were shocked to discover a white pontianak like figure in the middle of the road!Had I not swerved my dad's car,I would have hit it!Don't worry,it wasn't really a ghost but it was a villagers idea of a prank..HAHAHA.Driving in Gombak is muy scary.The roads are so small but there's so many cars,wanting to go everywhere!Never again!After dinner & gossiping & talking about our love life(Fazi became the brunt of the joke because of....LOL),I was feeling very dizzy...Probably because most of my energy went to the 6 hours of jungle trekking so I asked Fufu to drive my dad's car.And being the great president that he is,he obliged!

Afterwards,when the participants left for the 'owl' operation,we had a meeting.And that got Fufu taking this priceless pic of Fazi..LOL

Guess what he slept on??Sejadah & hanna's water bottle..kahkahkah

The weekend was spent by me,camping at Kem Rebutia in Gombak with my lively & lovely PMFP committee & fellow participants of our Leadership Camp.IT WAS AMAZING.Initially,I was apprehensive about it because although I am the Vice PM for the camp with Hisyam being my PM,the idea of camping(as I've never camped before in my life!)& when I heard from Fazirul a few days before the camp that we'll be going through a swamp in the forest(I know about the jungle trekking but I never thought that we have to go through a swamp(paya in Malay)!!),it didn't exactly made me all that excited.I was more worried about it all.

I still remember the time when Mak & Napz wish me goodbye in front of their house as I was hopping in my dad's car,they were like,'why I didn't seem excited?'I was like...Cos' i'm not!I was having my period,PMS-ing & all... & the guys of PMFP have been telling me that the place is 'keras' & when someone is having their period,going through a muddy swamp & going in the jungle in that 'condition' doesn't fell very comfortable to me..huhuhu.

But,I was shocked to discover that I actually like camping & trekking in the jungle!!!It was so much fun albeit the muscle aches that I'm feeling now.Currently,both of my arms & hips hurts..I guess it's because we spent 6 hours jungle trekking(no joke!!!And we didn't stop for more than 30 mins or so at one place)..On day 2,we went in the jungle at 10.30 am & came back at the camp side at 5.30 pm!So during the weekend I did 4 things that I've never done before...1st:I went camping,2nd:I overcome my fear of heights,3rd:I did the flying fox(that was fun but the obstacles to get to the flying fox was damn scary & made me shake so bad!),4th:I didn't wear any form of make up at all,no eyeliner,or concealer..nadaa!(only during the last day)& only bathe twice during the 3 days..hahaha.

Day 1

We left our faculty,with the rain pouring down profusely at about 3 something in the afternoon.The bus went the other way while I drove my dad's car with Hanna,Hani,Azie,Azila & Jasmine.In front of us was Hisyam in his car with Furkhan,Fazirul&Akmal.I followed Hisyam's car safely to the camp but I did manage to overtake him once or twice but being a guy,he has to always be in front& the fact that he drives a sports car & I was driving an MVP,he left us behind & arrived earlier than us...ciss!

The first day started with the participants having some tea and then they were given their 'barang amanah(a thing that they have to take care with their life)'

and they were given their camp to set up.I manage to set up the camp with Hanna!

Yeay!!!After dinner,we did an ice breaking session.

My & Azie's team,'Project Pop',won the best team because they manage to beat the other 4 teams during the games that they had to do.Afterwards,the participants were given a talk by the facilitators of the camp while the PMFP committe went out to the town nearby & had satay & lots of coffee cos' we know that we won't be sleeping tonite!

Lots of jokes were cracked up by the guys..Believe me,I've been working with the guys for a year & they are the funnniest guys I've ever met!!!There's never a dull moment when there's Furkan & Fazirul around--they made a joke about a particular lecturer that made us all laugh so hard!!

After satay & coffee & buying some provisions for the 'torturing' session for the participants.The torturing session went on for a few hours with some participants crying & most of them was chaterring through their teeth(because the camp side was very very cold at night & in the morning..).We,the committee had like only an hour of sleep afterwards at 4.30 am & had to wake up at 5.30 am.

There's so much to blog about but I'll blog about it later during this week cos' there's assignments to do & tests to study for..Ayeyayay!!!And there's plenty of pics from the camp that I've to get from many people..It's boring to blog about this but having no pic of it..so toodles!!!

Gravity is my utmost favorite song from Sara Bareilles album & I'm so glad that she choose it as her 3rd single...yeayyy!!!The official video of the song came out yesterday...I put it below here...

Just got the Jason Mraz tix today!!!!Can't wait for it....weeeeeee.If Sara Bareilles come here & do a concert I would surely go!!And Regina Spektor too...though I doubt that'll happen in the near future..sigh...I've heard rumors that Coldplay will be here for Sunburst..But I'm waiting for the full line up list to be out on the 6th at Pavilion before I go & buy the tix...Maybe la...If Coldplay comes I just HAVE TO GO!!!It's Coldplay kot!!!!Arggh money is running out like water..

I soooo need to organize my tutoring days now & start to earn moolah..The leadership camp is on Friday..A lil bit scared to be honest,because in my whole 22 years of living,I've never ever slept in a camp,let alone go camping!aiyoyoyo..It'll be very interesting though.When I told my parents about it..they were like..What??Camping???.My dad was more worried because he never let me go camping as a kid or teen back in school..ahaha.But I assured him that I'll be okay...Hopefully...*Gulp*

The best thing would be I get to drive my dad's car to go there & for the whole 3 days.Driving his car makes it easier for me to be merciless on the road..ahahaha.

Oh,today in Madam Adzura class,we had an interesting discussion.As always,I like the fact that we talk about a lot of things & I get to share my opinions with her in the class.She said today that there's been many research that has spanned through cultures stating that a girl who's a daddy's girl or born with brothers,tend to be very confident and they don't settle for a boyfriend.

Meaning that there's no 'okay lah' for them when it comes to choosing a boyfriend.Like,you become somebody's gf because he's "Okaylah..".ehehe.And Hafriz like put up his hand & pointed to me when Madam Adzura said that because I'm the apple of my dad's eye(though I'm closer to my mum) & I have 3 brothers(the only girl!).Then it hits me...It's so damn true!That's why I've 2 other friends..1 is a daddy's girl & another has brothers & both are still single.It's because we don't feel the need to just 'settle'.Interesting right?

That explains a lot on why most of the time I don't feel the need to have a boyfriend though there are some rare moments when I do get nostalgic..Who doesn't right?Especially if you've friends in long term relationships & it reminds you that you've never been in one!danggg!

But I've to agree with the confidence thing.Not to sound conceited...but most of the time I always have confidence in myself.There's a few times in my life whereby I felt damn nervous or bouts of insecurity but on most days I generally feel good & has no qualms about speaking my mind most of the time(which a friend said that it is rare in Malay women since I can be too honest,which gets me in trouble sometimes..eheh).

I've to thank my parents over that!They're very modern/liberal but they have traditional values.I can talk about anything to them.My mum knows EVERYTHING about me,like the back of her hand.She doesn't even ask where I go or what I do,but I'll just tell her because I'm used to sharing things about my life with her.She's an amazing mother that one!^_^..Toodles!

Mama's hair has so much volume!Glad that I inherit only 50% of it..heheheh

My parents wedding..^_^

I have the chair that my mum's sitting on!!And the vanity beside my dad is also mine now..hehehe.

This was when The Royal London Circus came to Shah Alam...They did a workshop for kids..So yeah,I got to juggle,roll around &whatnot.Yep I was in the Sustagen Club..Blame one of my aunts who worked for the company at that time...
