If my friend, Wong Wee Wen, did not drag me to this camp, I would have missed the whole adventure!!!
The nature society of my school organized this camp called 5R project in Teratak Afrina Chalet Homestay on the 11th to 13th of November.
By the way, 5R stands for Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Rethink and Respect. On the first day, the other campers left at 6.45 am but since there were 4 more empty spaces, Wee Wen, Aniza, Syarifah and I decided to go there and we reached the chalet at about 7 pm. At night after dinner, all the groups were doing presentations about Convent Taiping Green Team. The next morning was kind of a bummer for we were supposed to do some stream sampling at Sungai Bubu but it rained =( so we had a nature talk on biodiversity instead by a herpetologist, Doctor Norhayati Ahmad from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Anyway, Wee Wen and I played with her cute 10-year-old daughter, Nisya =). Then, we had a talk on bats by Cik Juliana Senawi from Insitut Alam Sekitar dan Pembangunan (LESTARI) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Bangi, Selangor. In the evening, we had a nature game in a herb garden and to get to the herb garden, we had to cross Sungai Bubu using a really unsteady, small bridge and a rope to hold on to. It was kinda scary but it was an awesome experience =). After our visit to the herb garden, we got back using another way through the jungle so we were practically jungle trekking. However, we still had to cross the small bridge and this time without the rope so you can guess that some of the campers fell down into the river. Luckily, they set up the rope again later so we got to cross the bridge without falling =). At night, we had many nice games and all the groups had to perform. It was really fun and my group sang a nature song using the tune of the Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa song =)! On the third day of camp, we had the best time ever! We visited Gua Kelawar and we did a lot of climbing and descending to get there and to get through the cave. There are a lot of bats there.
Then, we had to pass a river to get back and most of us got wet after splashing each other so I guess I could call it a SPLASHING experience! When we got back to the chalet, they allowed us to swim in the chalet's swimming pool =). It was a really adventurous camp and I hope I'll get the opportunity to join more camps like this again next year =)
