Arrived home late yesterday afternoon. Surprisingly, Chenor - a small kampung by the banks of Sungai Pahang, wasn't as bad as I thought as it would be. Besides the hot, hot midday sun (which was only a problem to me, orang lain tak kisah pun nak cari sun block and shades), everything went well.
Place where we were heading to - Kg Kertau in Kelompok Chenor - about 130km from KL
It rained when I arrived at the Chenor exit.
No sleeping in the tents on the first night - field was wet, putting safety as priority.As organizer of the camp, I am very happy with the whole event. Kids were extremely thrilled; good healthy food, dedicated attention by my team of superb facilitators and of course Puan Pengetua yang sporting selalu (chewah...masuk bakul angkat sendiri).
Most of all, I am so, so glad that the Top Brass in the company now know how challenging is the work and the responsibility we undertake plus the total commitment that we put in our job. Dah turun padang....baru lah nampak the REAL us.
More stories and reflections in other postings, just some pictures in this one first.
In their thoughts....omputih mana la sudah datang...and suruh kita orang speaking...We are so shy, they told me. No worries...by the end of first day, you won't be anymore, I assured them.
Hey friend...speking in English is not difficult. Lookkk...I'm all smiles already :)
Group session with Abang Facilitator....mula-mula shy, then when they are at ease, bercerita macam bertih....
On my last night, "this thing" came to visit...... Tok Batin (my first time so up close & personal with one too...tapi dia dah fully clothed lah) said goreng sedap Puan...err iyer ker?? Anyone knows???I'm on leave today. Will be heading 45 mins south to Mom's house. She's back from her umrah yesterday. Spoke to her on the phone last night...alhamdulillah everything is okay for this couragous, high spirits 71 year old lady.

Dear Kak Ezza,

Of course the kids riang, makan 6 kali sehari tu!!!
SPA??? Dunno lah, cannot promise. Schedule packed till end of April :(
Mak saya sihat-sihat je, Alhamdulillah.
Lyana,
Rain was one of the reasons why we didn't allow the kids to camp on the 1st night. Kalu hujan tengah malam, weiiii jenuh lah Pn Pengetua nak kena lari & gerakkan kekanak tu. On second day when the land was dry, wohhhh...bdk2 tu berlumba-lumba angkut bag and put them in the tents.
You know sumthing?? Pn Pengetua in the end tak tido in the tent pun. They gave us a special room...har...har.. So much for camping huh :D
Haiya all u woosies, a bit of rain already dampened your adventurous spirit. C'mon all u younger ppl, u must learn to toughen up. OK, I'll pass some experience to u guys; U r supposed to pitch the tent at a slight incline slope & dig drains around them. The fun is sleeping in the tent with the pitter patter sound of raindrops on the tents :))
Tommy = Was Agung Scout, no bull ...hehehe
Aunty Kay takut ujan rupernye! Ingatkan waterproof! purrr....meow!
Ish ish...cengkerik pun dia takut? Goreng? Tak jumpa ke masa kat HCMC?
Dear Tommy,
Wa takut lorr....now accidents tak berbau. It wasn't so much the rain & the soiled earth. Thunder & lightning can be so fierce these day. Better be safe than sorry.
King Scout?? I used to admire you guys those days when in school. Even had a crush on one..heh..heh :D
Dear CatIS,
Yes, I have let the cat out huh? Very the takut hujan lorr. Didn't your Mama tell you that it's bad to play in the rain. Can fall sick one you know!!
Cengkerik, lipas, cicak, tikus...summmaaaa takut wei!! Errr...perhaps I did see the rendang version in HCMC. Nasib baik tak ngap je kan...LOL
