This is the 4th week I came back from NS, and the reason why I only write this now is that, I didn't have much time to update my blog. Right after the 2nd day I came back, I went back to school, to take my SPM result, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Later, for the next whole week, I was busy with my scholarship application and all those education fairs. Hard to believe it, but the truth was, the 2nd week I came back, I was already in HELP college to study my A-level. Staying in my uncle's house, I had no much time to online.
Why I talk about all this?? Ok! Come back to the main point. My NS life. Now, when I think back, NS is actually quite fun, despite the restriction of trainees' freedom. That's the only thing I wished to have in NS. Anyway, for the 2nd part of my NS, I've tried many activities, which were fun.
Canoeing
I took part in this competition, female double. My partner was May. Before that, we never practiced before because the schedule problem. I don't know how the trainers expect us to kayak without any practicing, but the truth was, quite many trainees did a pretty good job! They could handle the paddles well, control the direction as they wished, and their speed and cooperation were good. But not me and May, we were kelam-kabut...haha...no planning, no cooperation, never think logically while we were in the race. So, we ended up wandering around inside the lake. We kept moving towards the lake side, and hit the bank. For quite many times, the other teammates from BRAVO helped to push us away from the side...haha...so xiao sui...
After struggling, finally we finished it. After that, I cried. Not because I lost it, but I knew we could do it better. Luckily, BRAVO was understanding. They never blamed the others for making mistakes in any competition. Not directly, I mean. hehe. But for my case, I know, they didn't blame me and May.
Volley ball
I didn't take part in this, because, you should know. I've never be a good sportswoman. Haha. But I woke up early in the morning(that day was a holiday for us, we could do whatever we wanted, including to sleep till very late), to give my friends support. But, we lost it. I cried again,(swt), not because we lost, again, but the players did very well at the beginning, and suddenly a problem occurred(not good to mention it here), making the whole competition was not on our side anymore. A regret, I would say.
Right after the competition, an incident occurred. My friend, A, said that one of our BRAVO trainers, Mr P, was not supporting us during the competition, instead of it, he showed his watch to us to time how long we would lose it. A was quite angry with it, and she confronted the trainer. I was quite surprised with it, never thought that she would talk to him like that. Mr P treated her quite good, and she said before that he was a good trainer. Later, Mr P was so angry and he called up a meeting with us, to scold us. The atmosphere was quite moody and everyone was tensed-up, and A was crying non-stop..haih, an unforgettable incident...
Marching
The activity that I love the most!! I have no idea how can it happen, but I like the discipline when we're marching, I can feel the spirit of a team. That's why, when the trainers wanted to choose some trainees to march on the Hari Terbuka, I went. Hard to believe it, at that time, I was kinda down because of some problem, but when I was marching, I felt that was something worthy for me to be done happily. Sounds so serious, uh! hehe
When our NS was about to end, there was a marching competition among the companies. Surprisingly, BRAVO got the 2nd place for wira and wirawati, and also commander wira and wirawati. Due to it, we became the overall champion for marching competition. We were so happy till I could see the tears were rolling in our eyes. We were so happy till we ran to our teacher, hugged her and thrown her into the air...
I said it was a surprise because we did quite a lot of mistakes, and during the practicing moment, we always argued, no cooperation and not organized like the other company. Anyway, We won!!
I'm yours-Jason Mraz
The story begins like this, ekhem..hehe..
There was a talk for us on a sat, which was supposed to be our holiday. That talk was about how we should spend our money wisely, and trust me, it was so boring....
The atmosphere was rising up when the speaker said she wanted to have a karaoke competition, anyone could go up stage to sing. The prize for both wira and wirawati was Potato Chips..haha
People started to go up and sing, of course, our singer from BRAVO, Leon, never missed the chance. We always support him. Later on, my friends started to call my name and asked me to go up stage too. I was kinda shocked, because WHY ME?!
However, i wanted to try something different. So, I went.
At first, I didn't know what song I should sing, and my friend, May, asked to sing "I'm yours" because I just sang right before everything started. So, I sang.
Things started to change. Before that, I was an "unknown" in everyone's eyes(hehe, sounds so pitiful), but then, at least they knew me, and would sing it when I passed by, till the end of the NS...
Flying Fox.Repelling
I didn't have the chance to play flying fox, and I was so upset about it.
At first, the trainer said that we could try both flying fox and repelling. So, after I've waited for ages, finally, I climbed up the tower, and chose to play repelling first. It was fun, and exciting!! Especially at the moment when I had to jump down.
After that, I climbed up again to play my next game, flying fox. But, the trainer said that I couldn't play anymore, because not enough time for the others.
Haih....if she told me earlier, then I would never choose repelling....but, anyway, I can try next time..
In the jungle
We prepared for almost 2 days to pack our stuff to go to the jungle. The backpack was so damn heavy!! and imagine that we all had to carry all the way into the thick jungle. About 1 to 2 hours walking and climbing in the jungle, finally, we reached the camp site.
So, we had to work now. Find a suitable tree, chop it down, set up the camp for 4 in a team. The process was fun actually when we all were working hard for it. But, soon after we set up the camp, it came the rain, and it was flooding inside our camp!!
Gosh!! How could this be happened after we worked so hard, while some others were relaxing in their camps, looking at the people who was wet like me??!!
Anyway, it was over...
Later on, we had a stupid game. I mean, why they asked us to play search-and-rescue in that jungle, knowing that we wouldn't actually follow the rules, and said we were not cooperating??
Oh! Never mind...
Next, we cooked our lunch and dinner and ate together. It was fun!! Really!! I never had that experience before...
Soon, it turned dark. We set up a fire, and sat around it, and kept on talking. We talked about our family, our friends, our feelings in ns, the people in NS...almost everything. It was so fun and relaxing, really...
How can I have such a moment with friends, if I never went to NS??
Last night EVER!
At that night, there was a very big event going on, which was our majlis perpisahan.
Every company had to prepare 10 minutes performance based on the theme they gave. So, Bravo got the theme of Chinese culture.
At first, we planned to dance a traditional dance and singing. But, there was some problem for the singing part because not everyone could learn that that song and the pronunciation fast. At last, we had one traditional and one modern dance.
I joined the modern dance, which was para para sakura. At that moment, I had a feeling to learn dancing. I was so happy that I can actually move...ahaha!
After the show, everyone was busy taking photos(since that night was malam kebuduayaan too, everyone was dressing well), hugging with the trainers, tears are rolling down...
Hard to forget that when it was around 2am, we just came back to our domes, there was no electricity.
So, I went out with my friends, sitting on the land, and watching the sky, with the full-moon so bright...
The earth was bright too, didn't need a torchlight or anything, but everything was so clear in eyes....With the moonlight embracing us, it was indeed an unforgettable night...
Now, everyone of us comes back to our own world. But, we still keep in touch. MSN, texting, emails....Even though I've never met them since we seperated on 11th March, but they will always be in my heart. Take care, my friends!!
