KUMON CAMP 2008

TIRED!! I am exhausted. Just came back from kumon camp yesterday. It was a 3 days 2 night camp. I met lots of friends from all over Malaysia, including Penang, Melaka and Johor Bahru. Had a really fun time there.

Day 1

We gathered at KL Sentra at 8.30am and the bus departed at 10.00am. Arrived around 10.30am (a really short trip). After the bus stopped, we walked down the hill into Agrotek, Ulu Langat. On the way down the hill, some orang asli wearing mask jumped out of the bushes to scare us. Some of the students were afraid and shouted really loudly.

10.30-11am: Had 'breakfast' ( sandwiches)

11am-2pm: Ice breaking session and we were broke into 8 tribes and told to be called apache. The name of my group was GHOSTLY WOLF.

2-3pm: Check into to our rooms and had lunch.

3-6pm: Outdoor activities (made our own Tribal flag, logo, 'cry', totem tower and an aeroplane) We got 1st place for the best, strongest... aeroplane.

Guess what was our group's cry??

LONG LIVE GHOSTLY WOLF

After that some of my friends and i went to try out the flying fox. The cables for the flying fox were 190m long (longest in Selangor) and 70m high in the air. It was my first time trying out flying fox and it was really fun.

6-7pm: Wash up

7-8pm: Dinner

8-9.30pm: Briefing and Talk on Gratitude and Forgiveness (We were also asked to write a Thank You card to Mummy, Daddy and my instructor, Ms Lee)

9.30-11pm: Night walk..This was actually my first time going into the jungle at night, kind of scary plus one tribe which is 30 apaches in a tribe were only allow to bring three torch. We put as much insect repellent as we can to prevent leaches from sucking our juicy blood. The jungle was mostly stream, so we were mostly in water. All of us came out wet but safely and I felt it was a really good experience for me.

11-11.45pm: Wash up and had supper

11.45-12pm: Short briefing on what time and where will we be meeting the next morning. We were told that we don't have to do kumon worksheets for that day.

6-7pm: Free time..We went to the river to swim. I was pushed down into the river on purpose by my friends and the sole of my right foot got cut by the sharp rocks. But we still had a fun time. Some of them even carry the gals and swing them into the river..
