In two shakes of a lamb’s tail
Since graduation, time has been ungenerous. It furthers and never looks back.
Like a tethered astronaut, I had to lift scores of missions! :) Up until now, I am still shackled by the runny time but it’s fine cause for the time being, I don’t have any more last minute reading, typing, proofreading, printing and submitting to tend to!! :D And now I’d like to press you with my battalion of missions once graduated!
Mission #1:
Just a week before the newborn fledglings migrated in, some hundred of us seniors (plus a few Russian juniors) fled to a much much much older home dotting the outskirts. Yes so old because I’d had my time of excusable juvenility there like 763 years ago. But justing from all the little stuff, like the steel plates and cups, to the biggest ones, like the choices of menu, I think the place wasn’t eaten up by time at all.
Cikai’s Cheer :D
Other than all the normal wonts every campers has to cower on, like BBQ and bunk-bedding, we had our moment of wallowing a lake nearby on our self-made rafts!! And OMG the group I was happily in ended up as the first to arrive!!! :D The whole event wasn’t all about oaring. Some of the stupidest and silliest riddles were earsplitting under the sun, like,
P’buatan ape yg ade 3 name laki, 1 name p’puan, by Abu (bukan name sbnr). Yet in the end, he couldn’t recall its answer himself..TSK. I only remember one of the names was ‘abu’ *hint hint*
Desperately wanting a winning, we had used up the given oars and our limbs to advance. And we emboldened our sunniness by pepping up another stunning thing, which is, our cheer – G-A-T-A-L. (everybody, O.O) But the best thing is, we kicked off and landed with recitals of prayers to God led by Faris of Russian program :D
BBQ but i eated under the moonlight -__-
Another one of the many firsts I’ve had is, I did jungle trekking! But it was no ordinary walking through any jungly paths cause we had to climb up some sloping hill through grappling after roots of trees. And the pair of shoes I brought along weren’t gripping well. sigh. I didn’t fall but…my drinking bottle did. And along the way, our group leader ShengKai kept on collecting leeches, deeming them as pets. =.= And one of those bloodsuckers stayed on his arm through thick and thin, on land and in water. (but in the end it got killed tragically). During the trekking also, I ate a kind of mushroom I’d probably never consumed before. Edible, but no taste wan. Anyway, lemme shade u some light on how to find out whether anything weird u find will kill u anot, according to a guy I met during the trekking (so u know who to look for lest there’s any injury or death).
How to Know Whether A Food-guising Thing Will Kill You Anot, by A Guy I Met During the Trekking.
- Scratch your skin a little until it leaves some scratch mark, not blood.
- Then rub the thing on the mark.
- If it hurts in any way then probably the food is not food after all.
- If it doesn’t, OMG you’re one lucky thing :D~
Mission #2 ‘zzup:
Following the camp, we then were officiated as the Pembantu Minggu Mesra Siswa (PMMS). INTEC wooed in long lines of students and ADFP has the most of them this year, upping the number of classes this Fall (hah finally something to pride on. wahaha). I also ran across my sister’s friend cum my junior.. who never at once failed to note me on how much I mirrored my sis. /sigh.
YeeChen Low, a friend of my sis cum my junior :D
Some of ze facilitators
A six-pack meets Hello Kitty, where got match :(
Freshies also need to practice UiTM songs (likewise, the PMs practice how to mime. forgive our senility!)
I also shouldered the task facilitating the juniors. It actually angered me so much when I couldn’t find a perfect spot for the twenty one of us to sit and to stone and most importantly to eat because all the time the place was teeming with another chunks of students that made up the 800+ of them T____T. Anyway, I really really liked being around and opening up to members of ADFP 1 especially! :) Their incoming to Intec made me realize how a year really passed in two shakes.
Meet Hazwan, our leader, and his mole.
We get to be at the registration counter also! :D
The infamous twins.
One of the three cakes for Sir Izwan on his bday.
Association between groups for the ‘Sepetang Bersama PM’ session’ and we did poetry :)
PMs serving our best! XD
Aerobics in the evening.
Dinner and also parting at Rafi.
My group ADFP 1 :) YeeChen is in it still! haha.
Us PMs :D
Freshies need to sit for the placement test finally x_x
Mission #3:
Ok Biro Tatanegara (BTN). One effort of making us participants aware of Malaysia’s *clears throat* politics *coughs* deep down :P Still a good something I’d say caz now I know how failed I am in sejarah! ish. And again, I liked the group I was in because.. we had a leader who’s never on time, two facilitators who kept on deflecting our points of view (argh), and a lot of candy distribution during LDks. weee.
To friends who have yet to attend BTN, bring a lot of shirts (please!). White because it’s de rigueur. And more shoes so u will have a lot to spare on. I even had a frog gotten into my shoe <_< And cotton buds to prevent deafness.. Haha, kidding. Be prepared too, because this penghuluwati felt so paiseh for being so unready for an impromptu speech…
