YO!!! Sry 4 late post.
During the Mid-year school holidays (11th-15th June), some members from our company went to 19th Pesta in Penang. We left for Penang at 12 MIDNIGHT!!! ya, you heard me, 12 am to 4.40 am in the morning. We took a bus to our main campsite, St. Xavier's Institution(SXI). We lepak while waiting for Sir Tan Chee Hong to register us. We went to our respective kampung/dorm, girls in Convent Light School(CLS), boys in Hutchings Primary & Secondary School(HS). We tried to sleep, but was too wide awake so we polished our uniform parts till BLING! BLING!
For the 1st day, we had opening parade, where the officers in charge brief us about camp rules & regulations. We also had Drill Competition by top teams from each state. They even drill when it was raining heavily!! Late in the evening, we had our official Opening Ceremony with L\CPL Anita Lim in the state contingent. L/CPL Marcus Chan was supposed to be carrying the Selangor state flag, but in the end, there wasn't a flag! After the Opening Ceremony, we had Band Competition with companies from all over Malaysia participating. We were all awe-struck by the coordination and choreography of the teams .
On the 2nd day, we broke into our respective platoons & squads for ice-breaking. There are altogether 10 platoons(A-J) & 10 squads each platoon. We get to make lots of new friends too! We were also supposed to have platoon telematch on that day, but because of a downpour, it was cancelled. Later, it was announced that platoon telematch was to be resumed but it was optional. By then we were all too lazy to participate in the telematch. XD At night, a singing & dancing competition was held in Dewan Sri Pinang.
For the 3rd day, we had a worship service also in Dewan Sri Pinang. There was a treasure hunt in Georgetown in the afternoon. At night, we had B Idol where Primer Chee Wah played his saxophone. During the same time, we had a mini fun fair with lots of different games including futsal.
On the 4th day, our company broke up into groups & went Exploring Penang with other companies. Pte. Cheng Feng(sq5), Pte. Kai Xian(sq3) & L/CPL Marcus(sq3) went to North West to visit a butterfly farm & lepak in Gurney Plaza where they had McD for lunch!! XD Other places included South West, Butterworth, Balik Pulau & Georgetown/Unesco. At night, we had a Route March lead by Primer Chee Wah where we marched to Komtar Dome for the Closing Ceremony and prize giving. We went back to our dorm where us Form 3 guyz took some group photos with 1st PJ Company.
LAST DAY!! we packed up and cleaned the class room where we said goodbye to our roommates from other companies. Since our bus was at 5pm, we decided to go to Queensbay Shopping Mall and watch The Karate Kid or The A-Team. We left Penang at 5pm & reached the church at around10.30pm.
We managed to make lots of new friends from all over Malaysia including other neighbouring countries like Indonesia, Hong Kong and Thailand. We also gained new experience by joining this camp. Hope to be able to join this camp again in 2012, Johor Bahru.
