Okay, so the previous post was about WHAT TO BRING to the camp.
so enough said, i will start from Day 1. relax, i wont go from Day 1 to Day 72, i will skipskipskip, so dont worry, i will try my best to shorten it. haha. but i guess it will be a very very extremely long post, cause there is so much to say !

And a one, and a two, and a GO !

Day 1
Got up early, got myself prepared and went to Stadium Hoki, Johor Bahru, that was the place where we gather and register. There were many buses when i reached there, at least 20 i guess, it was very crowded, there were a lot of booths for each camps. that's where we queued and register. after that we boarded on the respective buses and headed to the camp. i remembered that there were so many people that it made me a little uncomfortable, and then you will try looking for your schoolmate, friends, or anybody that you know, since most of my friends went to different camps. And thank god i saw Ryan, and JiaShuen. Booya ! you'll feel more safe when you see your friends in the same camp as you. Got on the bus and instantly made friends with a girl named Angela. then we headed to our camp. As we reach, we were brought to the Dewan Makan where we got in line, and the jurulatih wrote each person's name down in 4 pieces of different coloured papers, which were, red for Alpha, blue for Bravo, yellow for Charlie and green for Delta. I was the last girl in line, the girls in front of my was like, ''hey, you stand here, you stand here blabhblah'' cause they wanna get into the same company. i was like,'' dear girls, you're here to make friends,'' so i told them to let nature takes its course. And then, got my red card, was officially a wirawati Alpha, with my name tag Au written on it. they changed our hand written cards to a neatly typed out, and laminated cards. It was pretty cool :)

proud to be an ALPHA

okay, after that we were asked to queue in different stations 1-5 ? there were BMI station, custom (check our luggage ), and a few...!@#$ not sure, my memory is fading, that's a bad sign huh ?  okay so all my medical stuffs that i brough and some stationery was confiscated, oh well. then i brough my things up to my dorm P1.  P1-P8 for the girls and L1-L8 for the boys. the girls dorms were up on the hills something like that, and the boy's dorm was at the lower part where we can see everything , the boy's dorms, the dewan, the classrooms from the girl's dorms. And yeah, also half-naked boys too.

P1 :) messy but classy. 

well, the bed was okay, and i dont use the blanket as well as the pillow. there were no mosquitoes at night, like what ?! but yeah :) and it's cool at night, but my bed is not under the ceiling fan so it's pretty..hot in the day. but it was still  bearable, not. haha okay after i put my stuffs and luggage in the dorm i went down to get all the plkn issued stuffs, i've already stated in the previous post.

so, Day 1 was quite okay for me, made friends, ended peacefully, and i didnt miss my family that much. i should say i adapt to environment very quickly. i'm the kind that likes challenges, also one of the reason that made me wanna go through PLKN willingly. i knew it would be fun , though the first few days was overwhelming :)

Okay that's Day 1 for you. Ahh shit, this post will be so damn long, sqeeuzing 3 months into 3 paragraphs is too high level for me, so bear with it, i hope you guys will continue reading it ! Especially 白痴鸿　给我读完它.

FYI : !!!!!!  these are Exclamation marks  =/ LOL the font.

First Month 
The camps starts from 5 January and will end on 16 March.
so, in the first month, basically, all we did was having class, CB class, and it's Character Building class not cibai class okay ? =P so we'll have to wear Baju Kelas and Seluar Kelas of course. there were around 444 pelatih in the camp and we were divided into 6 classes. Each class with 2 jurulatih to conduct the class every morning till afternoon. Class can be fun but boring at some times. i'll be honest though, some of the time you feel like sleeping. i was placed in PK8 which was conducted by Cikgu Raihan and Cikgu Edlin and they were awesome. we carried out alot of group activities, which all of it, we had to Think Out Of the Box, that was what the teachers will say, everytime. i remembered clearly that my first group was CIMB- Cina India Melayu Bersatu. yeah, teachers wants a group name that has the element of Malaysia, and we came out with this one. we have other names such as Nasi Lemak Kopi o, Puteri habour, Twin Tower, etc. The best part of the class was that we learnt ALOT of  Tepuk. Tepuk semangat, tepuk sayang, tepuk abang botak, etc. it was very fun :) i'm not supposed to say out what we had in class because that wouldnt be a surprise then, to you newcomers, as for my old fellow friends, we know what we did , and we know the moments, and we know the Perjanjian T.T we have seven rules that we have to obey in class but obviously there were no pelatih that obeyed ALL of the perjanjian. Let's be honest okay haha. there were 4 modules, each for 1 week and the last module was PKRS, Program Perkhidmatan Kesihatan Reproduktif dan Sosial. Kinda weird class, with those sex and gender talks. Fun and funny and all of us laughed, out loud. and then after we had out 3 modules, there was a majlis penutupan CB. we get to perform and act in a sketsa. juggling competition and pertandingan sorakkan. we won for juggling and sketsa. but we shouldn have won the sketsa because we did badly. we wont because the other classes exceeded their time limit. so...but still, fair and square. and it was funnn ! i played the role of Juliet and Amin was Romeo.

KKJ
okay, so i almost forgot, the first week we had KKJ ( Kontrak Kita Janji ) too. an activity for us to form a four teams in each company and design our own flag and we have to present it. at first, i hated this activity, cause not everybody was cooperative, which then caused us to be scolded by our teachers, they were so angry that they told us to stop the presentation and get back to our seats. it was fking embarassing. i spoke a few words or two spontaneously but it wasnt satisfying. But, it was still a great experience. Let the photos do the talking.

Permainan Kreativiti
And there was Permainan Kreativiti where we had to Think Out Of The Box again, and figure ways, smart and quick ways to finish the games. Most of them were all about Team Work. Team work is seriously hard man, especially when there was 123456789 leaderss. in a game, where we had to use a piece of majong paper and cut it to make it into a circular paper which surrounds and we have to walk quite a distance to finish the game, we really blew it , though we reaached the garisan tamat, our paper was torn off. and then we failed. everybody was pekcek during the game. Coordination problem, which i've already forseen.
and, i gained experience from that game. lol.

Second Month 
we had Kembara Halangan in the second month, or was it in January..ahh, whatever. So Kemabara Halangan was a very challenging activity, especially the Monkey Bar. The day before we had our competition, i managed to swing all the way through the monkey bar. but on the day of the competition, i failed to pass that obstacle course, disappointed  =( cheering, and shouting for our teamates was very cool and awesome. we had a lot of fun with it, Alpha also won in the Kemabara Halangan Competition. Alpha Cemerlang, gemilang, terbilang HUHA ! you've done a great job Wira Alpha !

At the end of the competition, we were told to open up our bottle and pour the water onto ourselves. everybody was like ''cikgu, tak nak la ~~'' but we still did it anyways. it was VERY FUN. splashing each other, the best part was that the sands on our bodies, and hair became sticky, and we were like, OMG our hair. At the end of the day, each group cheered ? chanted ? too bad that i couldnt upload the videos of us cheering. blogger has some problem =/

Khidmat Komuniti 
Program Gotong-royong. we went to housing areas and cleaned their Taman. picking up rubbish wasant as bad as i thought. we had the feeling of satisfaction after cleaning up the place. we were treated with Curry Puffs as well !
We went to a school to perform our Para-para and sang seven songs. All of us had fun ,  cause we practiced for a very long time, and we did okay. though the timing was off when we were performing para-para. But it was still a sweet success !

My Beautiful Malaysia Day 
on the 3rd of February, around 160 of us went to take part in a program called My Beautiful Malaysia.
it was a program carried out by all the goverment people and us of course. i 've forgotten what was the real purpose about already. yeah, so we went to a square and we..did some exercise, dancing. after that we were supposed to clean suraus and masjids, but as it was raining outside, the bukan muslims werent supposed to enter the sacred place so we stayed in the bus, chatting, listening to music and waited for time to pass. oh yeah, according to the others, the lunch they served us was stale. i was the only one who didnt eat and the teacher told me to throw the packet of foo
d away. haha.

Last month 

Kota Iskandar and Legoland
So, on the 2nd of March, we had Khidmat Komuniti. We went to explore Kota Iskandar, look around, the bilik mesyuarat where the Sultan sits and talks. it was a very beautiful place. the whole Kota iskandar is well designed. great architecture. Took alot of photos. Listened to a talk on the kota iskandar and the future development. and then we went to Legoland. we didnt get to play , we just got the chance to walk around there. everybody went off to buy their lunch, we were bored of the canteen's food duh. haha. bought Shilin meesua , wasnt that yummy. sigh. And then we went to the port and a shopping complex. went into a toy shop, alot of hello kitties and soft toys, disney toys, and there were aot of Koreans too. it was a pretty fun day !  i guess everybody had fun as it was so exciting , we were kept in our camp for so long, you know. haha

Menembak ( Colt16 )
on 4th of March, we had our shooting activity. before of the actual shooting dayy where we went to the shothing field, we had a trial shooting outside the camp in the ladang kelapa sawit, just to give us a picture of how it works, taught us the method of holding the biangbiang. no bullets though, just trial.  and the day of the shooting competition, yeah it was like a competition where we will add up our points to help our caompany to win. i got 65/100. which was satisfying, to me. haha. Also one of the reason for everybody to join PLKN, you get to hold the gun, and the sound of the bullet shooting was just awesome, ahh i missed that day. the lady army who was beside me ensuring my safety while i biangbiang, told me that i was very fast and i should have take my time. oh well. it was a fking great experience, not everybody can hold a gun and shoot it 30 times in their life.

Alpha wirawati

Kawad 

so we had marching competition on 11th of march. each company has three groups to take part in the cmpetition. Wira, wirawati and campuran. we trained for like 3 days or so ? i was selected for 3rd commander cause my voice wasnt strong and mantap enough. so i  became the timer. the competition was, not satisfying. we got last place. and that was shocking. caue we made a mistake while doing the Belakang pusing where our Platoon gave the wrong command, and ....haha. but i thought we would at least get 3rd place. honestly , i've watch the video of us marching, we were better than delta, we were much in sync. though we lost a lot of marks in the belakang pusing. but, we were not happy with the results. but the campuran and boys group got first place. so oveall, Alpha won. we, the girls were, disappointed.  gah, nvm, the jurulatih comforted us too and assumed a bunch of reason why we didnt get 3rd place. =/

BUT, it was a great experience, everytime we pratice, from the first practice to the actual competition, we improved like @#$%^& that lot. we suck at first, like , total shit, then we became good, better but, not the best. Thanks Cho ! you are a great platoon, we dont blame you nd we love you ! too bad tht i cant post the video here. blogger gah

Wirajaya

wirajaya can be counted as the climax of the camp where we camp in the ladang kelapa sawit aka Woods. each company has their own territory and of course boys and girls were seperated. so we had to build our own tents using our poncho, then we had to decorate our camp base using plants rocks sands anything you can find in the surroundings. we got 2nd place for that if i'm not wrong, not sure haha. when the tlk and komandan arrived to see our camp, Peisien Cho Ecah and I performed Silat. yeap, we learnt from Cho for like 5 mins and then we were ready to go. we did a great job. the komdan also loved our hand-made siren, where we used the tin kosong and put rocks in it and then tied it to at the entrance. we used the chinese string pattern to tied it. it was exquisite haha. the teacher came to check our steel container to see whether it was clean but sadly..it wasnt. so as for punishment, the teacher took the dirty black burnt container and stick it onto our face. gross. but to heck with it, it was fun. then we also had activities such as First Aid, Navigation, Food finding. 2nd place for first aid, which i took part in. 3rd place for food finding i guess. forgotten T.T and too bad we didnt have the chance to stay overnight at the camp, cause there were some issues. some wiras were bitten by centipede..so. damn. safety first =/

that's us !

our Alphin

miss them !

Malam Kompeni

okay so, the few nights before we officially end the whole plkn program, we had our malam kompeni. where we get to perform anything and it was like a competition. we had to perform our Camp Song, by interpreting it and make it like our own version. so that was one exciting moments. though we only got second place, but the commander told us that if it was him, he would let us win, our performance was really entertaining, and the whole crowd cheered for us. we sang, abit of sketsa, and there was a performance of Fantastic Baby. 

so yeah, we rule , we rock the night. haha. 

Bravo and their drama was quite cool.

Tamat Latihan 

so we had our majlis tamat latihan where we perform para para, peyerahan flag, and tears, joy and sadness.

yes 98% people cried. most of them cried when our Flag was going to be taken back and then plus the sad background music and those touching words, people started sobbing, and i hold my tears. i couldnt hold it any longer when our Kem Sembrong's flag was taken down. it was, SAD. seriously. yeah after that we threw our beret, hug our friends, cry and laugh together and take photos. and then that's it. =)

Last day

16th march was the day that 80% of the Pelatihs leaving. it was a Saturday. our Malam Seribu Kenangan ended around 4.30am and then those who are going back are gathered around 6.30am. i went home on Sunday. it was very sad, many people were crying, we seldom see each other again, the thought of that just made me sad =(  after all we were by each other's side for 24/7 ! especially fennie peisien , miss those nights were we slept together side by side =) al of them went back on ssturday, i was left alone but luckily there were few of my boy-frriends teman me ! haha.

And so, we ended the 72 days in camp, successfully. 

i'm so glad that i went for PLKN, met a bunch of crazy and idiotic friends, and of course i gained new experience. I will never forget all those happy awesome, crazy, scary, nervous, pissed off, and sad moments. Though the 3 months journey ended so soon, but i will cherish the memory of the times that we spent together 24/7 ! 
although i did not manage to get to know every single pelatih in the camp, but, well done guys ! great job ! we survived ! YAHOO HUAT AH !
Million thanks to all the Jurulatihs too ! thanks for taking care of us !

Kem Sembrong Tetap Ku Sanjung :)
