I’m back from DPA bonding camp on Thursday, and I really did enjoyed myself.
BOABOA ROCKS!
I’ll update about what happened this entire week!

I met part of my group members in school for discussion about our group cheer and also the campfire performance. On my way to school, Danson called to confirm the place again. He re-intro-ed himself to me. LOL. I was laughing to myself, as if I don’t know his Danson. Haha 
I was the earliest to reach, so I bought Milo from McDonald’s for myself and sat down. Just when I was sitting down, the CASS people arrived. They didn’t recognize me, nor could I. In the end they walk to the Food Court behnd McDonald’s and then called me. First impression of them is like the whole group have know each other for a very long time, doesn’t look like they met less than a week a go.
Later the CLS people slowly arrive. The first thing that we discussed about is the cheers. Halfway, I talked about the volunteer part. So glad that there’s people that volunteered (: Super on people. Group name was adapted from Foafoa. Since we were group B, so we changed it to Boaboa. Thweni was the one with the awesome cheer. Then we changed parts of it and added on the Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance part. Made it sound damn cool. After settling the cheer, we went to CLS building to try out the cheer and do performance. It was then Adhi came up with the part that we ooh to the tune of Bad Romance. It turned out to be AWESOME!
Performance wise, we had several ideas and in the end we decided to do a funny skit with all the parts from different movies. It turn out to be pretty awesome. Hahaha Had lunch with Debra, Adele, Desiree and Adhi after that. Chatted a lot with them and talked. Nice (: Went JP after that.

Camp day. I woke up at like 5.30 in the morning prepared stuff and such. Waited for Jasmine under my block as his father is driving the both of us to school (: Thank you so much! I saw Debra and Shawn at the MRT station waiting for Desiree.When we reached school, we saw Joel. So walked in together and assembled at DSD (Department of Student Development). Called Herman while we were walking there. He said he was somewhere near DSD, so I was like looking around and his in front of us. Hahaha Went to my group and about half of them have already reached. Took over the attendance taking and stuff. I think we went off at about 9 plus. Boaboa officially has 24 people going and Shiyan as our Senior.
At first it was supposed to be group D that is broken up, then they went up first for don’t know what reason and group C just chiong up a bus. Boaboa was then split up ): We couldn’t do the cheering part in the bus. We crossed the second link and then cleared the Malaysian Immigration and stop over for breakfast after it. I set the CLS guys and bought myself a drink. Talked about a lot of stuff. Love talking to them (: Continued the bus ride until we reach Mawai. To get to the campsite, we have to take a boat. There were close to a hundred of us so the waiting time is kind of long.
Gathered at the guy’s bunk. We had a briefing about the safety precaution and stuff. After which, we were brought to the girls bunk to place our bags. LUNCH! We had to change to get ready for the Swamp forest walk. Initially, I didn’t want change. However, they say that we have to wear back the same shirt on the last day, so I changed. The first part is demonstration of the animal traps and then we went for the walk.
We stopped half way to play with leaves. Those long long type. It’s sort of like a game. Then continue walking into the forest. Then they start introducing the things in it. Russell got a leech on his hand at the end. All our legs are covered in mud and I think Adhi and Joei lost a shoe each? Hahas. That’s so funny. Adhi was digging for his shoe in the mud and then he thought he found something, but it’s some plant. LOL. Very funny. Washed up and gathered to do cheer and play games.
The toilet is one AWESOME only. Hahas. It’s hard to describe, you have to experience it yourself to know.
Thweni and Mavis wasn’t there, so we weren’t able to do a rehearsal for the performance. We did the cheer a couple of time, and it goes like:
Boaboa Oi! Oi!
Boaoa Oi! Oi!
AWESOME!
Oh wow! Like totally freak me out.
I mean right on the Bo-a-ens sure are number one.
Hey SP! (yeah?)
We got one thing to say
you mess with us, we’ll kick your butt
Our heads are high
Our feet are low
and thats the way we like to go…. (Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance)
Bo-Ah-Bo-Ah-Ah
Bo-Ah-Ooh-Ga-Blah
Ga-Ga-Bo-Ah-Ah
We gonna kick your *beep*
(Scream!)
The last part always comes in a little late. Hahas. It’s kind of cool anyway.
We played SPLAT. I think I was in a hurry and said Splart instead.
Someone else said the same thing as well, was it Mabel? I think so.
Gathered for Dinner. After that was the Cruise to see fireflies. It’s just one cool only. What’s more is that the sky is clear and the stars are really nice. I got to see Saturn. It’s like a star bus with the orange light. The cruise was fine, but it was kind of creepy when it comes to the 80 year old jetty. Oh well, nvm. It’s all over. After the cruise we gathered for supper and off to bed we go.

Woke up at 6.30am to prepare for the hike to Gunung Arong. I packed my wash up, packed my stuff. Gathered at 7.30am at the MPH with the rest. BREAKFAST! I didn’t eat much, and I so regretted it. Cause half way through the hike, I was hungry! Took the boat out and then bus-ed to Gunung Arong. The trip was kind of long, so I caught a little nap. When we arrive, we had a sort of briefing luh. Then off we went.
I can’t say that the hike is easy, but it’s not very difficult also. We had ropes, some parts only, to hold on to. We climbed half way and stopped for lunch. I was super hungry, so gobbled up the rice. I didn’t touch the egg though, gave it to Justin. Talked about some stuff. Group PHOTO! Off we went again to seek the peak. The view is super nice. (: so kind of make the whole trip up worth it. On the way down, we kind of lost the front people. SO LOST! Had to walk back.
Just something to say, DON’T WALK BEHIND TRY! LOL. He graps all the things, and then let it go. So if you are behind him, you will get all of it. Hahahahahah! He says his a monkey! LOL. I fell down and landed on my butt once because of him. LOL. So funny. Anyway, when I heard the sound of water, I was really overjoyed. It meant that we’ve made it!!!! And I survived. Gathered at the beach for DPA group photo and then continued walking to cross the river.
Cross river!! Expected something really deep. But it ended up with ankle-deep water only. So we just strolled along the river. So cooling. Walk along the beach and see loads of crabs crawling out. I had a mini race with Gary and Justin. Obviously, I LOST. Before boarding the bus, changed into slippers (: Super love the feeling. LEGS NOT WET! Stop over for snacks. The fish paste thing is so nice and the Goreng Pisang tastes different. They say the moon in other countries are rounder, but then I say the banana in other countries taste better. TOILET BREAK and depart for camp.
Planned a little about what to do after dinner and then SLEEP. Took a boat back and then Wash UP! So love this time. Dinner and then prepared for camp fire. Amanda wasn’t feeling very well. So got her panadol and Shiyan accompanied her. We went to rehearse and then we added a lot of funny parts. Laughed and stuff. Finally the camp fire!
First up was cheer (: Our group went first. Super high. I think I was going to lose my voice. I felt my voice box go missing. Hahas, just some stupid feeling. I think our cheer is the best. LOVE BOABOA!!! Other groups did their cheer as well. Game time and we played Don’t Forget the Lyrics. Boaboa super love Adhi. He got 4 correct and that means we are the top group. We were Mao-ing and Awesome-ing all the way. Group C then thought they were counter-attacking us. They said Woof or Dog, something like that luh. Mao is because we had a Gary. They compare themself to dogs? I don’t know what they were meaning, but it’s kind of irritating.
The first group to do performance was Group D. I think our performance is the funniest, cause what we did isn’t related to camp. Just some random movie parts linked together and we just any how link to the four points: Teamwork, Endurance, Adventure and Friendship. Our group is second to put up the performance. We weren’t quite ready and took up sometime. But I guess our performance is a success.
Raymond lead us to do some songs and two other instructors as well. Then Campfire is officially over. STAR gazing session! I got to know more constellations. It’s so cool how the greeks can imagine all those stuff out. Some of the girls went to the guys’ bunk to chat. They were back in a short while cause they were chased back.

We can sleep in a little late cause the meeting time was at 8.30am. I woke up at 7 cause it was getting kind of noisy. Wash up and then met the rest before going for breakfast. I changed into black cause our group is having the Water Obstacle course. After breakfast, gathered at the campfire place. Briefing! Then we start with the obstacle course. FUN (: Although water taste really bad. I went onto the Monkey bars. I thought I couldn’t make it, at least I managed half. Thanks guys for cheering me on. (I’m suffering from muscle aches now!!!!) Swam around and did some more obstacles. Some really require good teamwork. Thank you Gary, Debra and Try. Really helped me a lot on the log. Love you guys.
