The real adventure actually started on the second day.
oh yeah i am going to write about the experience i had at the Kem Tentera Bentong, Batalion Ke25 Tentera Diraja Malaysia. please forgive me if i have got the name wrong. my whole body is hurting ;p
okay so the second day marks the day where we all drop all luxuries and walk up the hill to get to the camping ground. The camping ground was, as i was told, accessible by cars. I should have asked what kind of car they meant. I chose to walk with my students. there were only 3 (yes, three) female (YES. only FEMALE) teachers who walked with the students. We kind of volunteered ourselves, me and Kak Anis since Cikgu Zul who had been there since the whole thing begins were attacked with Gout. His foot was already swelling pretty bad by the end of the first day so he drove to the campsite. I feel so bad for him. Other male teachers were selfish bastards who have no care for us. anyways. I am not going to talk about them though I am tempted. Buang yang keruh ambil yang jernih, remember?
Okay so. We started walking at 10.30 and the journey was not an easy. It was raining pretty heavily the night before so the ground was really wet and slippery. I felt the strain in my thigh though i was only carrying a water bottle (i didnt carry anthing since the nice army truck has brought our stuff to the site).
the walk up was not too bad but the way down was scary. it was super steep and slippery! i myself fell a number of times and warned my students to slide down if they cannot balance.
we reached the place at 1pm and i was a bit down to find that the reception of phone coverage is as bit like karak, only worse. sometimes we get them really clearly, the next minute you'll be losing your network connection. the amazing thing is that it works well in bags, not in your hands.
there were no toilet, no shower rooms. everything were made out of tents. they have this makeshift toilet. during the day we go down the stream for wudhu, for cleaning yourself, cooking, washing plates and more. life was tough man.
i only mandi once, after coming down from the hill. panas kan. sedap gila berendam.
the night was super cold.
okay i am not going into details. i am going to go nurse my cramped legs and 2 sting marks now. babaya~
