Jeram Besu, Raub 3rd May - 6 th May '08
Group photo before going for a mission..............................
Everyone has to go thru this exercise. I find it fun pulling someone off . It really helps me to overcome the fear and learn about safety. Jeram means rapids...coming.
Steady, steady, we are in control. we dont know how it looks like until we see this photo ! Wow !
Adrenalin shoots up.....dont worry we have just been trained in case the raft overturned.
Paddling away from the rapids.
Flying Fox team - Jeram Besu,Raub.
Me..haha...getting ready after climbing up flying fox station, about 3 storey high.
Hai yeah,,,, camera man toooo slow...my open legs style already done lah.Well, I went to Jeram Besu camp training in Raub under the SLDN programme under the company HR.
On the first day, we spend whole day learning about Social skills and social values, and after dinner , we had to spend the whole night to learn map reading and compass ready.
These are camps run by ex-army , and you should know their style. I ended up sleeping at 2 am.
2nd day, we were " drop off " at a point and to move to the contact point - CP., in the jungle and using compass to get us to 2 CP. sorry to says I was not paying attention to the map reading and compass class as there many young candidates who are capable. In less than 24 hrs, we r doing practical in the jungle. We do experience difficulties in the totat darkness.
Why.lah nobody remember to take photos in the dark jungle. We had a gathering in the middle of the jungle , made fire and had our maggie noodles.
Wild boars roaming in the area --- sighted their shallow "bath tub" made by them on the ground with water in it. Water accumulated from the rain which hit us before we went into the jungle.
3rd day..we learn how to tie and make bamboo rafts.
4th day..we go for flying fox and water rafting.
Remarks: Tough and enjoyable. Hot and humid weather. Endure rain and my worst enemy - mosquitos !!!!
Well......ANOTHER PHYSICAL EXERCISE DESPITE THE FACT I AM STILL RESTING MY INJURED KNEE. I HAVE FORGOTTEN WHILE I WAS THERE. HAHA..
