Kursus Pimpin Siswa, a camp which is compulsory for all the 2009 first year APEX students. During the usm orientation week, I have received an offer letter from usm authority to go for kursus pimpin siswa at Cinta Alam Kelimat on August 2009.

This camp is 3 days program. The objective of pimpin siswa is to produce a sustainable student. Just before a day for the camp, usm authorities were giving us a briefing about the camp and distributed the t-shirt and bag for us.

 

1st day (7th August)





We were gathered at padang kawat in front of D.U.P. After attendance has been taken, we departed from usm around 9am something.

Around 1pm, we reached the site which situated at Perak. The site was not as bad as I think. After us had our lunch, we gathered at field and we were asked 2 marched in a proper way. I did not have a basic skill in marching, so it was quite a tough task for me. After that, each group had to set up their own camp in the jungle. All my group members were ladies so that we took quite a long time to set up the camp. This camp will be our resting place during the 3 days program.

At night, we were having ice-breaking and some games in order for us to mix around and get to know each other well. We played till the late night and finally can back to our camp to sleep.  These whole day activities were really tired me.

They tried to frighten us but I stayed calm. This jungle tracking was end around 5am. Wow, this was an unforgettable experience to me.

6am in the morning, we had to wake up to attended a lesson given by the organizer. After that, we had our breakfast. In the morning section, there were some games played among groups. My team never wins a game but we were enjoyed and happy because my team already tried our best.

In the afternoon, we were having cooking section. Each group was given pans and ingredients in order to cook for our lunch meal. My teams members were giving full co-operation during the cooking section. That day my lunch was so delicious that contained rice, fried chicken, curry chicken and vegetables.

At night, each group was given a theme and team members had to act to present the meaning of the theme. My group performed the theme by singing. This activity finished around 12.30am midnight and this time we can had a better sleep till the next morning.
