Hightlight of the camping trip

Assalamualaikum!


So I went to a camping trip for 3 days and 2 nights from last Friday til yesterday at Kem Sri Gading, UiTM Jengka. We departed  from Kuantan at 3 p.m on Friday and arrived at 5.45 p.m. Had a briefing about the camp site for a while, then we headed into the woods to get to the camping site. Aaaaaand the excitement began. Ha ha ha. The camp site was small, and there is so called a dataran for us to gather for each activity. That is also the place where we eat and pray together. The dataran is not so big, but it can fit all 80 of us. We reached the camp site nearly maghrib prayer and we were asked to settle our self down first and get ready for the prayers. After maghrib & isya' prayers, we had dinner together and then the first activity started immediately since it was already late. The first night ended at 12.30 a.m and we slept at 1 something a.m.


The next day started at 4.30 a.m, where we had qiamullai and solat sunat before subuh prayer. Since it's my time of the month, I got to sleep an hour and a half extra compared to my housemates who had to go for qiam. It was super cold in the morning, we were shivering on our way to the toilet. Oh yes, the toilet is approximately 500 metres from the camp. We had to walk 500 metres away in the dark to get to the toilet. Bayangkan kalau tengah tengah malam nk terkencing terberak ke apa haaa amik kau! It was scary though, but we had no other choice because we needed too pee. Ahak. Ni nk cerita sikit. We only bathed once a day though our schedule was packed and we were all sweating like crazy at the end of the day. Call us unhygienic or whatsoever, but we had to rush for the activities throughout the camping trip and didn't even the time to bathe. Haaa lebih kurang mcm tu lah. Saturday's schedule was so packed but luckily it ended earlier than the previous night. 


Yesterday morning, there was no qiam but only solat sunat before subuh prayer. I woke up at 7.40 a.m and got ready for breakfast. The last activity was to present the question that was given to us the day before. After that, we were asked to write a letter to our friend(s) as a reminder to him/her/them. It's more like an advice and reminder. We had a group photo session after that and packed our things to get back here. It was a great experience since it was my first time spending the night in the woods. Though it just felt like a kampung, but the environment is different. The feel is different. I am grateful that nothing bad had happened to me during the camping trip because yeah, I was in the woods during the time of the month, that just couldn't get any worse I guess. But Alhamdulillah, everything went well. I am fine so far, and so are my housemates. 








Pretty much my saviours in Kuantan && I don't think I would have survived the camp without them.
