khidmat negara datang lagi~

salam and hi..

27th disember 2008.. a new life for national service trainees for batch siri 6 kumpulan 1 2008.. on this day, they will be officially been 'arrested' in several camps to do what they have to do.. for 3 months.. anyway, i'm not here to tell the story of their life, but my days during my time being in national service.. so to all my plkn friends, take this trip as a memorable piece that we have been trough together for the last 3 months a year ago..

on this day, a year ago, i was preparing my stuffs and make sure that everything i needed for the service is well-packed. i don't want my life there will be miserable without the things i really need during particular event.

my life as a trainee started two days after that, 29 disember 2007. that morning, trainees from all over banting need to register at stadium jugra before we were seperated according to our places. for me, i was placed at kem plkn setia ikhlas, semenyih.. still inside selangor.. but for him, he was assigned to kelantan.. satu kem dengan tieya pulak tu.. tak aci btol.. jeles sungguh..ok, ok.. back to the story. erm.. it was a bit unfortunate for us, because the bus driver took the wrong path and gone lost.. we reached at the camp a bit late due to it.. there, i met paah, the one and only psalakian in kemsis( short name for our camp). after regestering ( again) i was placed at dorm 4, which mean i'm into the bravo company.. the girls dorms are quite far, located up at a hill.. damn it.. why does we have walk more than the boys.. to make things even worst for newcomers like us, we even had to cross a river and climb up lots of tiny and slippery stairs :(.. as soon i reached there, i chose to pick a bed just beside the door.. easy to walk in, easy to walk out, as well, easy to be attacked by the trainers.. lucky me..

as i was unpacking my stuffs, i made new gangs(new friends which then becoming my gangs throughtout the service) mel, fyra, ecah, nia, fareh and za. few days after that, i could memorise at least half of the dormmates.. well, just to inform, our batch is including trainees from selangor-kl, terengganu, sabah & sarawak. there are few funny incidents happened during the self-ice-breaking-process.. this includes when i met wendy xiao ling.. well, i still remembered she used to think that i'm a chinese.. haha.. me? chinese? no way lar.. i did not have any chinese blood in my family.. aiyorh.. she thought like that as she saw me without the tudung during the first time.. :)

well, i guess pictures should do the talking now.. i'll explain trough the pics..

this is at the entrance of my beloved(?) camp.. taken from the inside of the bus where we were kind of lost. thanks to the mr. driver, we reached there when the sun shows its shortest shadow..

this was the first open day.. family and friends were able to visit us without being questioned and blocked by the guards to enter our campsite..

see my bed.. so tidy and i don't think i believe that i did this. even during my hostels days, it wouldn't be this so-tidy. plus this bed sheet don't have the 'getah' on it's edge..

this is what i meant by crossing the river and up the stairs.. loong stairs i say.. and it's quite creepy to pass during night time..

well, this is the second open day.. and it's bravo's turn to duty..

ini pulak mase ade majlis ape tah.. hari belia kalau tak silap.. and dirasmikan oleh pak lah sendiri..
caya pak lah *hentak2* *tepuk2*

this is wendy xiao ling.. very cute with her dimples and loves to call the 'kerepek bawang' as 'biskut telinga'

this is one way we used to spend our time there. friendship never ends, guys.

ha, this was a module on khidmat komuniti.. jalan jalan, cari sampah~

on duty with the our flag

ni pun mase tengah duty juga

haa? guess why all the beds were outside.. the result, we won the most cleanness dorms.. yeay~ all our hard work been paid.. i'm satisfied~

kay shuen and me.. she reminds me of my 'twin'.. khairani.. well, we have almost the same appearance and we 're both black belts.. being friends during the first night at taekwondo tournament, and guess what, we sparred each other on the next day..

the best part of national service.. shooting using the M16.. wow.. i managed to score 54 only.. the highest, 98, and was made by a GIRL..

this was the first time we were exposed with the killing machine..

erm.. made by kay shuen.. the reason? she was bored.. right, kay?huhu..sadly, that thing only stayed for few moments.. wuuwuu

do you believe that this girl beside me is not even a muslim.. introducing, dhe, a sarawakian-iban girl and she's a Christian..

the backbone of bravo company.. cikgu jais, cikgu ramona, and erm.. aiseh.. i forgot his name..

we, the girls, made this, specially for cikgu ramona so that she never forgets us.. we love you cikgu ramona...

guess who? it's raja farah~
it was the time where the kristal band have some kind of rakaman at our dearest camp.. so famous la this camp.. there's one time we were visited by the education minister of Zimbabwe
( atau mana2 negara orang kulit hitam).. and the most important, if you see any iklan plkn, yang ade kayak2 and flying fox tu, that's our camp.. huhu

they were playing like kids.. no.. even worse than kids do.. haha.. just kidding..

one activity during kelas kenegaraan( kot?)..

wendy and sandy but definitely not qilly..

with wendy again.. this way leads to the girls' dorms.. i wonder why we jumped like that..

with penghulu wirawati, also known as penghulu toOot.. only us knows the origin of that name..
by the way, for the record, i used to accompany her every morning ( dawn actually) and wait for all muslim girls to gather up..
this picture was taken after closing ceremony where i joined the nasyid team and perform some songs. want to know a thing? that day, i was totally exhausted. because, before the closing ceremony, we performed the kawad senyap.. where only 30s trainees were selected and practiced for the past few weeks just for the 'gimik' on that day.. but it worth it, because i really enjoyed kawad kaki.. best~

dorm 4. the best ever..see the poster? cikgu ramona get those from the hari belia thingy..

the last moment with them..

miss you all too~
wendy, mitchy2 ( got the best wirawati award, and not to forget, you're the one who responsible to make me cry that day, after seeing you cried first ), sandy and a senior i've forgotten your name too.. sorry for that..

actally, there's plenty more pictures taken.. but i hope this is enough.. huhu.. after all, national service is totally fun.. it's a place where i meet up new friends, especially from other races( which i haven't had the chance to meet during my schooldays) and states( especially from sabah and sarawak)

satu hasrat,
satu semangat,
satu tekad bersama~
