As I already mentioned in my previous post, I have just
registered in form six a week ago and quite a lot has happened throughout the
week. Basically, our orientation week has only came to its end today. By doing
some calculation, you may have guessed that our orientation week has been going
on for almost two weeks.
During orientation week, respective teachers briefed us through the subjects we
ought to take and analyzed the pros and cons of form six for us. I was quite
hesitant to change to Art Stream before that because when I thought of bidding
Science goodbye forever, all those mixed feelings just came over me. Luckily,
after receiving all those kind advice and uplifting moral supports from the
teachers, I made up my mind to switch to Art Stream. Pretty daring or pretty
wasted some might say. But to me, it is never about the matter of Science
Stream or Art Stream. It has always been your ideal future career and who you
would picture yourself as in ten years’ time. I would proudly say that I made a
choice that I know in ten years’ time, I would thank my teenage self for the
courage I chose to muster.
After dropping the announcement for you guys, I think I should promptly move on
to the Team Building that was carried out on 14th May 2015. Sze Chyi and I went
to school a little too early and just loitered around the school compound.
Around 7.30am, most of our peers were finally here and we were given
instruction to gather at the Form Six block. The teachers then took our
attendance before we boarded the bus and headed off to PLKN Sri Mutiara for our
Team Building.

| Since the camp site is situated at a higher and secluded ground, we had to walk to the assembly point. It wasn't too far though, but the gradient of the slope was really steep and I could barely catch my breathe by the time we reached the flat area. |
The host addressed us as 'wira' (for males) and 'wirawati' (for females) because that was how they would address the ones who participated in former PLKN camps.

Breakfast! I really love Malays' Mee Goreng because of the
sweet-tasting sauce.

After having our
wonderful breakfast, we went jungle trekking! It started to rain cats and dogs
halfway of our jungle trekking but we were still super excited to participate
in such an adventurous activity. The slope was really steep and most of us had
to bend down to have a firm grasp on the surface of the slope. When the rain
started to pour, the track were all muddy and slippery. We were extra careful
when we walked down the slope to prevent from slipping and wounding ourselves
up. Sze Chyi even gave me a hand when I was inching like a total slowpoke.
Overcautious ==
What can I say? I
believe that not only the glamorous side of our lives is meant to be shared?
.__. This is a picture of me all soaked up during jungle trekking in the rain.
And bravo, I still asked for my photo to be taken *claps* *claps* Sorry but not
sorry if I look totally horrible because I can't change the fact that I looked
horrible after a series of grueling activity right? :P
The trainers wanted
us to gather once again. We were instructed to divide ourselves into five
groups. After all the five groups are formed, a series of Team Building
activities were conducted by the trainers. I can't possibly take pictures while
being deeply engrossed in the really entertaining and fun games so there were
no pictures taken during this session. There was this one game called 'Escape'
that Sze Chyi and I were entangled in - literally! We played the game in pair.
There were so many pairs who took part in it but in the end, only one had
managed to get themselves out of the ropes tied at our wrists.

Our lunch! The dishes
were not too spicy and I like how they gave us food in different proportions.
The Malay auntie who scooped the chicken for us amazed me as she spoke to me in
Chinese!
|
Oh, I forgot to
mention that we had to wash our trays ourselves after we finish up the food.
Not to say that it was a big deal, but I think that it was really good for
simulating the Team Building just like PLKN camps and training us the way they
train the 'wiras' and 'wirawatis'. Shortly after lunchtime, it was the time for
closing ceremony. Our group - IM4U, received the first runner-up prize!

A bag full of goodies and cookies and lots of wonderful
stuff for us to EAAATTTT! *NOM NOM NOM*

Oddly, only four of the group members from IM4U brought umbrellas together with them. Everybody was looking at them like they were their saviors because it started to drizzle again when we were waiting for the bus to arrive. It was a really fun experience and I am really glad that I have the opportunity to experience the games and activities that only former students who got the offer to attend PLKN camps for three months get to experience. I hope that everyone enjoyed the Team Building as much as I did too ♥
