We rocked as a team, starving together after lunch and waking up at 3.30am just to bathe. The memories will last. Too bad for those didn't went, total wastage, I promise.
This camp is named Camp @ 08. Why 08 when the present year is 2009? 08 represents the direction in the compass, of the House of God when we pray.
So why did they organize this camp? Well, it's for us to bond our relationship with Allah closer than ever before. Cheerio!
Day 1
Reported at the mosque at 9am. I REALLLLLLLLLLLLYYY didn't want to go. RELUCTANT TTM!
My sister, Ruzzana, even had to drag me to the mosque, literally! I took my time, dragging my feet to the mosque, trying to delay the time.
I got label in Group 5, and my sister in Group 4. Heh. Kena seperated. :C Felt ultra despondent.
We waited for the head of the mosque to arrive and gave us a speech. Then, we had to gather as a group and flush out ideas for our name group and cheer.
Group 5's cheer or, Botol Model (Bottle Model), was the best of the best. We got the most points out of the 4 other groups.
B-O-T-O-L ahh(seductively)
M-O-D-E-L ahh(seductively, again)
Wah, Sexy
Wah, Gorgeous
Wah, Gerekk! (Thumbs up with our most cheeky smile!)
And then we had treasure hunt and lunch. I tell you, when it rains during treasure hunt, fold up your pants. My pants gotten wet, really wet. Tsk! Still, we got the most number of points!
Lunch was alright, having to said that the food we ate is normal; rice with curry chicken and veggies.
Prayers was next in line and then i forgot. It was night time what, all of us were all waiting for.
I had difficulty sleeping because it wasn't the soft comfy bed of mine at home, and it was squeezy ttm!
I woke up suddenly because the air-con was too high for me, so I slept back. I didn't bothered about the air-con until it was super shiok and cooling! So I slept happily. And then the air-con temperature was too high. Feeling grumpy, I couldn't do anything else, I slept back. Few minutes later, it was 3.20+am and the temperature was low, again. That was one of the worst nights ever. I couldn't bear the heat so I stayed up.
10 minutes passed and it was 3.30am before dawn. My Models woke me up and we decided to bathe together, but after we gathered our toiletries, one of the faci-s woke up and stopped us from bathing. :(
Definition of Faci: It's like a team leader that helps and encourage us, but they are not from our team and they are older than us. So it's something like a teacher.
One of the faci-s really look alike Cikgu Samsiah, really! Don't believe me? Ask Siti Nur yourself. I promise, it's true. It scared the tickle bone out of me! She is fierce and full of knowledge, just like Cikgu Samsiah.
That night, a pocong came and visited us. He was veryyyy noisy, continuously banging on the door and jumping like one too! Some of us woke up from the noise distruption and couldn't care less and slept back,& I was one of them! This pocong was none other than Shu, one of the male faci-s.
Day 2
A life threatening morning jog and light stretches then breakfast. As usual, we gathered at the auditorium and Group 5 won the Top most points and important people made speeches. Almost made me cried. There's one quote I want to share, "Setiap pertemuan ada perpisahannya." Can't really translate it into english but I try my best. "Every congregation or communion have its separation" Aiyah, somethng like that le.
When they were announcing the results, Ain, who was beside me, gave me the chills and that room was full of suspense! And then...
2nd place is...Group....4! WOOOOOO! GROUP 5 WON WITH THE NUMBER OF 106 TOTAL POINTS!
I screamed my lungs out with Ain, knowing that everyone was looking at us, and of course attention seekers! The prize we'd won was huge, bigger than the other prizes!
First of the first:
God
Oh man, I would really really want to thank you so much for me to be in this camp. I quote, "You are the few 30+ members chosen by Allah to be in this camp." I felt so, astonished. I never knew I am this important. Powerful la seyy! Thank you, for the new experiences I've accomplished and new friends I've made, and definitely, I've bonded closer to you, Allah. :D
Anisah OR Ashraiwan(?) OR Rai
OMG, if it is wasn't you I really don't want to go to this camp. You don't know how much I dragged my feet to the mosque that morning, but You are the one that made me feel involved and courageous. All the funny conversations we've made with you, the "firm and clumsy" voice of yours really made my day. I never knew how much all of us could change and be a better person than what we are now. I am grateful to Allah that you are our faci, and to be in this camp, taught everything by you.
Next of the Best: Botol Models (alphabetically)
Ain
You are one crazy girl that I've knew but forgotten. Hahaa, you were in my primary school, in netball. You wanted to join Band but it was too late, so you joined Band in secondary life. See! I know you la! I promise, I know someone of you that have a twin,tsk! Why oh why you live in clementi and go to school as far as Boon Lay? Why not Fairfield?
Alright, you're very nice to talk to and we could talk as long as the day runs. Haha, I could still remember you complimenting me that I look like Hilary Duff. I said WHUT. You're as cute as me! Hahaha
Aiysah
Hey! Alamak, I've known you from Mad every Sunday for 2 years. Man, I thought I could stick with you since you are in my group, but I changed my mind and take this opportunity to make other new friends. Heheh. I guess it worked. I had fun, so do you. Baju jangan ketat ketat eh! Hhhaa JK! I will miss you.
The Ngee An Girl
Crap, sorry! Didn't mean to forget your name! Hehe! Well, we had fun alright. Man, I promise you're scary when I first know you, but when we've introduced ourselves, you are not that scary at all. But you are one serious person! Ngee An is one of the choices I've chosen. Study hard!
Aziera
Crap! Another girl I've forgotten the name. So it's you heh? My sister's friend. You really look like you can be an Ustazah. You have that look y'know? Hahah, just like me. I've bonded with you and you're really comfortable to talk to! Talk to me more, sound effects! Hahaha Study hard tau! Jangan malukan the muke.
Sheereen
OMG, you scary girl. Every time i look at you, you will give me the "talk to the hand" face.\, but you are one funny girl. Hahhaa, one of a kind eh? Scary plus cute plus funny girl. Really, you scare me so much. Your eyes are so huge and black, like a witch! Anytime can curse me heh? hahaha I have fun with you, though I try to stay away from you, from your curses. Hahaha JK!
All In all, I will miss you guys and I hope we can stay connected! Love you too much! Gee I wish I have photos to share, but I didn't brought my Cam, and there were photographers but no photos I could grab :(
