JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP 2011 - Day 1

Once again, the 2nd time of the year, another training camp!

Hereby, presenting

--junior training camp 2011--

from 7.00 a.m. on 28th August 2011 till 3.00 p.m. on 30th August 2011.

If I was given a choice, I would actually rename it as "Junior Test Camp 2011". Why? Simple, because everything in the camp is literally lencana usaha, maju and jaya tests all the time. However, tradition is tradition and should be followed. Moreover, training sounds better!

Above is Prob. T/L Ooi Yeong Sheng giving P/Ls a word or two. He's kinda busy throughout the camp. Not just the organizing programmer, but also the group badge secretary, he has to monitor the event almost 24/7 to make sure that the junior's progress in lencana usaha, maju and jaya tests are in acceptable level.

Prob. S P/S Wilson Saw, chef (Q/M food) for the camp passing by.

Our participants, unpromising attendance though.

It was 7.15 a.m. when the opening ceremony started, kinda late though, sorry for the delay guys. First, we have our chairman!

Oh wait, master of ceremonies first.

1. Ketupat

4. Balutan Anduh

Yeap, sadly, it was raining that time.

Due to the heavy rain, our programme got delayed and affected, dinner was ready at about 7.30 p.m., then participants get to retest for whatever tests they failed for the day. Lights-out at 10.00p.m.

Stay tuned for Day 2 and 3!
