First Day In Universiti Sains Malaysia! =)

SKK SMK Convent, Taiping sent 40 students along with 4 teachers to the Karnival Pembangunan Insan Sekolah Kluster in Universiti Sains Malaysia on the 10th to the 13th of March 2012. =)

It was seriously an unforgettable camp! Universiti Sains Malaysia was like so huge with practically everything you ever needed  there! There is a swimming pool, basketball court, jogging area, playground, enormous concert hall and there is even KFC, Pizza Hut, Baskin-Robbins, Subway and McDonalds just a stone's throw away from the campus! On the first day, that is on the 10th of March, as we arrived in Universiti Sains Malaysia, there was an energy conserving exhibition there. There were displays of many cool gadgets which uses renewable energy to function.

At about 11am, there was the launching ceremony of the program.

The 40 students who went to this camp were actually students from the drama team, English debate team, Bahasa Melayu debate team, public speaking team and netball players. So we were all divided based on which team we are in. I was in the drama team along with Sabreena, Kiranjeet, Wee Wen, Syafida, Ummi, Divashini, Thevemaalini and Denesha. =) We had our short briefing in a small hall right after the program launching ceremony.

After our briefing, every student and teacher from SKK SMK Convent, Taiping were given Indah Kembara as our hostel. It was the furthest from the hall where all the activities were held so every single time, we had to walk to and back from our hostel to the hall. Everyone gathered in a small meeting-like room for some briefing from the students of Universiti Sains Malaysia staying there and each one of us were to stay in separate rooms together with two students of USM there.

After settling into our hostels, we walked a long way to the hall for our first activity. We were the earliest there and no one else seems to be around so I took loads of snapshots! =)

The drama team had all their activities in a small hall.

We had to pass the huge hall to get there. There was some Kungfu Night performance there so we only got to see their amazing props and practices since we couldn't watch the performance.

In the evening after our first drama training, all the SKK SMK Convent, Taiping students along with a few students from other schools staying in Indah Kembara had ice breaking. It was really fun and we really enjoyed ourselves! =) We played loads of games, learned new songs and had group photos! =)

It was already late in the night so we went back to our hostels to go to the land of Nod. So that's about it for our first day in Universiti Sains Malaysia! =)

Awesome Time In Maxwell Hill =)

On the 18th of February, about 30 SKK SMK Convent, Taiping students went up to Pusat Biodiversiti Bukit Larut in Maxwell Hill along with Mr Tan, Puan Norizan, Pak Ngah and some VLoN facilitators to do some charity work. =)

We sat on jeeps there and when everyone have already gathered, we had a briefing by Pak Ngah.

This tree has leaves that smells just like mosquito repellent!

We did a lot of work helping to clean up the place there. =)

During lunch time, we had a short briefing by Puan Norizan.

Since there were not enough jeeps, a few of us stayed back and I took lots of great snap shots! =)

On the way back in the jeep...

I really hope that we can go to Maxwell Hill again to plant the grapes like we planned to. =) I wonder when are we going to do it since teacher haven't told us the date of the activity...
