Wilderness Camp Langkawi 07!!!!!!!!Team VEGA!!!

Day 1
At the base camp.

Meeting everyone for the 1st time.

Our trainers,Abang Boy(the super poser wearing the cap=P)

Kak Nora...

Seperating our things to put into our camping bags.

We had limited amount of things that we could bring.The only electronic object we could bring was our cameras,and I didn't have one.Sigh...


On the boat,going to our 1st camp site.

1st Camp Site,Tiloy Island.

Taklimat by out trainers.What's taklimat in English?I forgot..hahaha


Setting up our campsite,the kitchen roof.

This is what our 5 star toilet looked like after building it up.

Our tent for sleeping and changing clothes.Not exactly private or comfortable,and it didn't keep out the rain either.

The 1st hygiene team building the toilet.We each took turns to be the hygiene team,cooking team and leaders.The hygiene team was in charge of the toilet and washing things up.The cooking team,in charge of cooking of course and the leaders told us what to do and made sure we kept to the schedule and didn't exceed the time limits we were given for our duties,at least they tried.When in Malaysia,follow Malaysian timing;always late.Hahahaha

The views from our 1st campsite.Rainbow;a sign of hope.I really needed that sign that day,I was feeling so homesick.
A little blurry,but still a very beautiful picture of the sunset.

2nd Day at Tiloy Island
Learing how to handle the kayak and rowing with the oars.Sleeeeeeepy..We had to wake up at 5:30am every morning.


Getting used to the PFD(life jackets) and finally 'bathing' on the second day.Hahaha...the guy making the funny face is Ah Meng from Sabah.

Wheee....we're floating...


On the kayaks in 'roughed up' position.

Posing for the camera.The water was really deep by the way.


We kayaked all the way to Pulau Bumbung Kecil for lunch.One of our teachers,napping.Hahaha...


After lunch,we kayaked back to Tiloy Island.

Another beautiful view from our campsite.

Washing up the pots and pans after dinner.

3rd Day

Morning exercises.

My friend Fafa and I taught our team how to play FasaBili while waiting for the tongkang to bring us to the Reef Explorer,a ship.


On the tongkang.Lenna and I weren't supposed to talk to each other because she was in the other team,but we talked anyway.Hahaha....

VEGA,the other team is Rigel.

The tongkang.

Rope activities on the Reef Explorer.This activity is called Postis and another activity we did was Boom.We had to walk on a pole which was thicker than the rope,but it was also a lot higher compared to this activity.


Still on the Reef Explorer.


Learning about maritime activities and how to steer the ship.

At the base Camp

After the activities on the Reef Explorer,we went back to the base camp using the tongkang and took a lorry to our next campsite which was on the same island as the base camp,Pulau Tuba.


Preparing dinner after a long day.

Washing up after dinner at our 2nd camp site.

That night we did star gazing and learnt how to dance the pocok pocok,however you spell it,a dance from Sabah.

4th Day

We learned how to use the compass.

Learned how to determine the bearing and which direction we had to go that would lead us to our 3rd and final campsite.
Listening to Abang Boy and Kak Nora explain things to us.We had to lead ourselves,our trainers and our teachers to the campsite.Kak Nora and Abang Boy weren't going to say anything unless we were in deep trouble,meaning lost.Hahahaha...


Getting ready to start trekking.

Trekking to our next campsite.

The beach near our 3rd campsite.1st row from the left:Cjj,Cikgu Nizam,Ika,FaFa,Hong,Cikgu Zam.
2nd row from left:Jeeva,Amir,Ida,Chuu Voon,Ah Meng,Me,Joon,Nabilah.
3rd row from left:Standing : Saddam,Fahmi,Swee Chin,Izatti.Bending down : Pinat.

We had to do this activity called Solo Camp where we had to eat lunch alone.We were each stationed at a particular place and were told not to interact with one another although we were near by.We had to stay like that for around 2 1/2 hours,so naturally,we sneaked around,chatted,played games despite the direct orders we were given.It was hillarious!!!We did silly stunts and attempted to play mafia.Someone kept revealing who they were.Hahaha...



Back at the 3rd camp site

It was our last night with one another,so we were all emo.We had a session where we had to carry the lantern and either say sorry or thank you to one person.

I cried..hahaha...


5th Day

We had to clean up the camp site,tear down the shelters,kitchen and toilet and pack everything to bring back to the base camp.

Saddam and CJJ packing the camping bags.

Cleaning the toilet walls in the sea.

They were all so stubborn.None of them wanted to go in the water,so I splashed in and dragged them one by one.Hahahahah....

Packing everything into the speed boat and zooming off to the base camp.


After 5 days of not bathing,we were given permission to bathe!!!!The guys bathed in this cacat place and the girls got sort of proper toilets.Hahahaha!!Too bad for the guys.P.S.I did not take this photo......=P

Half of the VEGA team after bathing and after the last day performances.
