JTC (Junior Training Camp)


Well, that explains everything.
BE YOURSELF.
Don't try to be someone you're not.
BE YOURSELF.
God made each and everyone of us unique and different.
BE YOURSELF.



Hello. :) Just got back from a 4 days and 3 nights training camp. It's call the JTC, Junior Training Camp a.k.a Junior Torturing Camp x) Although the camp was not the usual fun type of camp, but it was still enjoyable. :) It's a national camp, the trainees were from Selangor 1, Selangor 6, Selangor 7 and KL 1. Altogether there were 88 of us. Well, Grace Assembly Petaling Jaya's Royal Rangers are the Selangor 7-ians. Think of one word to describe the camp.... AWESOME. :)

.Day One.
16 June 2010 (Wednesday)
I woke up around 7.45 am, straight away put on my uniform, had tuna sandwich for breakfast; Then straight away carried my camping bag and off I went to church. Most of the people involve in the camp was already there. There were around 10 girls and 19 boys. We, the girls, were chit-chatting. Well we were kinda feeling scared and nervous; We were afraid that we're not up to the challenge/standard in JTC.

When everyone arrived, Cmdr Terrance prayed and off we got into the vans that were outside of the church. Cmdr Jackie, Cmdr Terrance and Uncle Sunny was driving the van. In the van we were chatting about random stuff. :) hahas.

Soon, we arrived the campsite that was located in Sungai Congkak ( Somewhere in Malaysia, one hour drive away) =) We carried our bags and walked into the campsite. My heart was beating really fast. The campsite was quite nice. Really shady, really cooling; the river was beautiful, the air was refreshing, WOW God is just so awesome, nature is so beautiful. :) Agreed?

After a long walk, we reach a small hut, we put our bags, and collected our burret and patch. We were asked to sew the patch onto our burret. I didn't bring my sewing kit. Whopps. Thanked God Belinda brought her sewing kit. There was an extra needle, so I took it and sew my patch ;) hahas. Soon the other outpost arrived. After an hour, the senior guide took us to the parade ground. ( It was a long walk.... ) We put our bags down and Cmdr William brief us about the camp. Because it's the first day, the bought lunch (Chicken Rice) for us. Then we were separated into our patrols. Our patrol names were animal's name. Then we were brought to our campsite. But before we entered our campsite, we stopped at the modal campsite to see how are we suppose to build up our campsite. Well, there are loads of stuff to build. Then we were brought to our campsite. I'm in the Penyu patrol. My team mates are :- Trisha, Cherine, Sarah, Belinda, Krystal, Joanna, Marrisa and Grace. :) Once we were at our campsite, we started pitching our tents then we started lashing and building stuff, then we started cooking.

Unfortunately, we failed to start the fire. But one cmdr came up to us and helped us to start a fire, soon we were eating. We were quite dissapointed, well because its a training camp. Then we had our evening assembly. When we were at the evening assembly, I found out that we could literally fail this training camp and maybe have to come back another time to pass this camp. Then we had our evening classes. After that, we had campfire!! Woohooo! :) Penyu Patrol had to present a sketch about Alert. :) I think we did quite good :) Well most importantly, we had fun! :) Then off we went to sleep. WAIT! We didn't get to sleep yet, because we had to do our banner and bolo tie. :( Around 1 hour later, we manage to complete everything and everyone went into their tents and had a goodnight rest. Zzzzz :)

Day 2 will be coming out soon! :)
Jenyeeeeah.
God Bless! :)
