Annual Camp 2014

During Junior stage, we did CIW while during Intermediate stage, we did CW Advance and Retreat exercise. And as Senior for the last year for annual camp, we did CW Defence and Attack exercise called Aksasais Mandi Peluh. This year, we stayed 6 days at Bukit Botak, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan. You heard the place Bukit Botak, then you should imagine how Bukit Botak looks like. For your information, Bukit Botak is really botak and high altitude, surrounding of this mountain got none of tree, no shady place to hide from sun. After 6 days been stay at the open place on the mountain with no water supply and not enough food, we get sun burn, very very serious sun burn. Days during the exercise, really feel like labor who really work very hard to earn money. During daytime, sunlight very strong and we still work hard under hot sun, during night time feels very very cold since we are at high altitude area. One day, we just get issued 2 bottles of 1.5L mineral waters, we had to save it for drinking, toilet use and other usage, can say not enough lo. Our squads got dehydration and send to medic.

~ Before depart, everybody still very clean ~

~ Our harbor base before move to Bukit Botak ~

~ View of Bukit Botak, no tree man ~

~ None of tree, we use leaf to prevent sunlight and as the camouflage ~

~ Tools to dig the hole, want to dig until when? ~

~ My partner, pity him to help me dig the hole, haha ~  

~ That is the only place to find shade ~

~ Because we were at high place, so can get to see good view ~ 

~ Stand to ~

For defence stage, is the craziest thing I ever do, every pair of partners needs to dig a big hole like a grave. The main point is to defence from enemy, prevent attack from enemy, dig a place for us to stand and sleep. All work by hand you should know, 3 days limit for us to dig until chest height. Is it crazy? Pair is one girl one guy, so that the guy can dig more, for my team, I think my partner dig the whole hole la, haha. For 1^st day, we must dig until knee level, 2^nd day until waist height, and 3^rd day until chest height. For all of that, depends on the height of the higher partner, so have to dig very very deep. Dig for that deep need 3 days, but when cover back just need 5mins, oh my god.

~ Success of my partner and me ~

~ My platoon ~ 

~ We are trained to sleep at just anyplace ~

~ We are human, do need a rest when tired, then move on again ~

This was the last annual camp for senior, so everybody really put their heart in the exercise. 6 days didn’t bath at all, yerrr, smelly, but have to get used to it, everybody smell the same, haha. There also got no toilet, so? Haha, pandai pandai la. To make this annual camp more memorable, our officer organized a BBQ party for us, coincidentally was birthday of one of our squad. All these unforgettable memory will always engrave in my mind forever, may be the toughest, craziest, hardest but sweetest memory.
