i only had this cough ever since i got back from the camping site last week at kuala kubu baru. talking about the camping, it was MOVING! surprisingly MOVING! at first i was dreading the camp, thinking how tiring it must be. but guess what? as tiring as it was, i actually really enjoyed myself. especially because of my students from 1C; afiq, acap, iqmal, wan, sheikh (as annoying as he is!) and luthfi. all of us had a BLAST!
the first day all of the students had to go for a nightwalking activity whereby they had to enter the forest and walked in pairs for like 500m in the dark. it was so cool! i've done nightwalking before but that was during high school. this time i got to do nightwalking as a teacher instead. weeee~ and the best part about being a teacher is that you get to break all the rules and no one can really say anything! muahahaha! so that's what i ended up doing...instead of walking in pairs, there were four of us walking together; kak zana, me, kak siti, and niza. the teachers' team! everything was fine at first and we were walking ever so slowly in the dark; me and kak zana at the front (since we were the ones bringing our handphones when really the rule says we should walk in the dark!) and kak siti and niza trailing behind us. then it happened. we heard footsteps. animal footsteps. like a lion's footsteps or something. but because it was dark we cant really see anything. my first instinct was to run but because i've done this before so i remembered that it was the crews doing that to scare us. but before i can say anything, suddenly kak siti and niza were way ahead of us running! both kak zana and i then ran as well while screaming "kenapa?? kenapa??" it was hilarious! then we found out that it really was the crews scaring us and making the sound. told ya! but it was embarrassing since my 1C's students were there laughing at me! i repeatedly told them that it wasnt me who started the run but they wont believe me..huh!
when we've reached the checkpoint, we had to wait for other students to arrive since they were walking in pairs so it took an EXTREMELY long time for all of them to arrive. a lot of the girls were crying though. you can hear their sobs even from afar. one of them was ain from 1D. poor ain! all the boys were laughing at her. it took about 4 hours until all the students arrived. and it was during this time of waiting that i really enjoyed myself. mostly because i was sitting right next to 1C and 2C students. we chatted the whole night. they made a promise not to tell anyone at school about my running misfit. but still they wont leave the subject! phew~ the funniest was when luthfi and hairian started to fall asleep next to me. hairian had his leg on top of my knees and i tried to shift my position but i got stuck between him and the tree. so i just let him sleep and i cant feel my leg afterward for sitting in the same position the whole night. thanks a lot hairian! haissh...we made our way out of the forest at approximately 4.00 am. i went back to the chalet, took a bath, solat and zzzz...
second day of camp. the morning started off with "jejak kelawar". at first, i thought that they were supposed to hunt for bats or something. haha silly me! what they had to do was actually blindfolded themselves and they had to follow the trail by using the rope. all with their eyes closed. it was like i put it; PAYBACK time! as they cant see anything or anyone during this time, i took the chance to get back at them for last night. muahahaha! i gave them the wrong directions and even make them tripped a few time. again being a teacher is a bliss! after that they had jungle trekking but i cant join it because i was preparing for the malam kebudayaan that night. yup like there's no other person to become the MC but ME! i've to write the script and prepare the hall for the big night.
malam kebudayaan. i was the mentor for group 2. my group's name is BOOM BOOM POW! muahahaha! one member in the group that i wont forget for a long long time would be akashah from 1D. he is definitely one LAZY, SHORT, ANNOYING but CUTE boy. he said he cant act, he cant sing, he cant and wont do anything for the night. so i make him play the guitar instead because his friends told me that he had this thing about guitar. sadly, my group didnt win that night. well, they did their best though. even the lazy akashah did well with the group's cheer and all.
last day. i was the photographer for the simulation activity. but being a camwhore that i am, i forgot that the camera was actually nuar's not mine. i ended up taking a lot of my pics instead of the students. yikes! when i realized whose camera it was, i sprinted back to the chalet and transferred all the pics before nuar found out that i misused his camera. heheh! close call. then we visited the animals; mr porcupine and mr tapir. now i knew why the jokes in majalah ujang kept saying "huduh cam tapir!" nevertheless please pity all the mr tapirs. they have pride too you know. if only they can sue, they would i tell you. for degrading their physical appearance or public humiliation or something.
then the closing ceremony. all of us the facis (as we called ourselves since we were treated more like the facis instead of teachers) were given a t-shirt each. yeay! the good part; they were new. the bad part; they were the same as the students'. what i hate about school t-shirts are that it made me look no less different than the students. even during these three days of camping, all teachers kept thinking that i was a student and scolding me for entering the teachers' territory. uwaaaaa~ after the ceremony however i took a lot of pics with my students in BOOM BOOM POW! my group won for best male participant (toon jong), best female participant (fatin), most sporting participant (can you believe akashah won this???) and the best group for ice-breaking session. yeay! good work you guys! my cheeks might as well got cramped for smiling so much. i also camwhoring with my 1C's and 1F's students. i love you guys so much! seriously! but only because it was outside classroom. you guys were A-okay outside classroom do you know that?? if only you were half as excited as this during lesson time. ini tidak asyik nk kne main kejar2 lam kelas suh blaja! sampai ke kelas sebelah lak tu korang lari! ;p
all in all, this would be one moment of my life that i keep close for when the time comes for me to leave them, i would gladly look back and be thankful that i had a few good times with them as well. i cant believe i'm saying this but i'm gonna miss you...
p.s one month to go till post-prac. time sure moves fast.
