The BAKP candidates during Malam Kepanduan
Listening at the Test SiteDay 2
The next day, I woke up at 4.30 am to take a bath with my friends.Boy, was the water cold. Don't think they have heating in camp.At 6 30a.m there's our morning exercise and the flag ceremony at 7am where we have to change into our full uniform and out of again every morning at camp.
I forgot what we did on this day...Let me recall....Oh OK I remember now...There's breakfast then work again.Then some of us followed the state camp with their activities to take a test. You have to light a fire using two matches.The instructor taught us how to set up the wood and Backwoodsman cooking(cooking without utensils).We collected wood from a quaint little bamboo hut and started our test. In the end...out of ten or so people,four passed,2 wussed out. Me? I failed. HAHA...But my friend passed though.Congrats to her since that was her 3rd time taking the test((Me my second)
The test also clashed with our lunch and guess what? No one bothered to save any for us.(the three of us in that same sub sub camp)....Whatever then..let it pass even if they did promise...whatever...
Then, there was a flying fox and rock-climbing activity. We and the State Camp were divided into groups and our group(the BAKP) did rock-climbing first.Sadly..only a few people did rock-climbing and quite some made it to the top(including Hui Inn,our unit leader,Jia Xin, a patrol leader and Alicia the worm).We had to play the wide game created by the candidates.We were divided into groups yet again according to our duty schedule(mine was orange and brown) and we also had to think of our act for "malam kepanduan". Don't really want to go into detail bout this...Aww..what the heck..I love to type:
1st Station(Foong Ling):
We had to sing a song to please her.OK...first try..we sang Old Texas. Not accepted.Next, Ging Gang Goolie...almost...she wanted actions...So we did the action...(tickling each others chin)To go to the next station,follow the clues on the ground.
2nd Station(Tai Tee):
We followed the clues(twigs in the form of arrows, pebbles) and it led straight to a....handphone!! We were stumped...coulld this be a coincidence or was it left there on purpose. Marissa took it to the "urus setia".We walked past the place and saw Tai Tee looking at us from the area which we just passed. We went back to that slope and onto the hut next to the rock climbing place. She was mad with us of course. We explained about the handphone...which turns out was really dropped by someone. OK..back to the game...we had to make something from a piece of colour paper. Elaine made a flower and we were told to keep it. By the way, Elaine couldn't see properly because SOMEONE stepped on her glasses.Moving on...
3rd Station(Hui Inn):
We arrive at the field where the flag ceremony is held.Hui Inn was sitting down somewhere on the far side of the field.There were straws on the field in the form os 3 or 4 paths. We had to follow it to find a ring(fake)of a particular colour.Ours was orange.
4th Station(Wei Lin):
Her place was a hut full of our equipment. We had to make a"bubuh" from chopsticks. What's a "bubuh"? Don't know,something you catch fish with. Since no one really knew what a 'bubuh' was, we just made a little pyramid shaped net thing....On to the next station...
5th Station(Amirah)
Amirah was sitting in the canteen.Oooh..she has a laptop...We had to make five paper lanterns and solve a code to know where the next place is.The code words were cute...Each were little symbols representing the Alphabet.
6th Station(Angeline):
We had to make a....bowline and throw it to our comrade who was ...'drowning'....Get the picture? Nobody could do it at first....until Angeline showed us the correct way of throwing and one of the BK girls made it.She gave us note saying we should follow the river's flow.Take the wrong part and we miss a station.We took the right path of course and reach a bridge.
7th Station(Adeline):
The comrade we saved from'drowning' is injured. We have to bandage her head,hand and foot.So, three people did that.We had to lie low so the other team won't know we took this part. No point anyway..they were way behind.Then, follow the clues again.
8th Station(Sze Hui):
Sze Hui was also in a hut. This time we have to memorize at least 25 items in the hut. Marissa mistakened a Quarantine sign for a Kelantan sign, me too...
9th Station(Meu Ye):
The last station...Yeah!We reached our original point-the amphi-theater. Meu Ye wanted us to make something from the stuff we had-water and the flour and sugar she had with her. We needed an extra messtin and luckily I left two at this place before we set off(Marissa took 2 from the canteen but Yee Jing already found some)So pancakes made and Meu Ye ate them.Forgot what I did while wanting for the other teams.
After dinner it was our'malam kepanduan'(at the theatre), when the BAKP candidates were setting up the fire, Sze Hui 's hands got kerosene on them and burnt slightly.Yee Jing mistaken more kerosene for water and the whole area got kerosene.We had to clean it up before we could continue. Besides songs led by the candidates,two groups performed three songs each.(Mine and the combination of Pink and Purple)We cleaned the place up again when it ended. Since I was bored I went back to the theater and chatted with my friends and then we had our bath.
Here's something extra:
There's this night patrol duty that we have to do or those that got chosen had to anyway.
It was Pei Jia and Jing Wen's turn and they said they had an encounter of the spiritual kind. They saw a guy in black disappear into the lake or somewhere nearby.Then in the tent, the zip got stuck and the two of them went to fix it. That's when they saw the guy standing near their tent and walking away into some bushes.

Poor Sze Hui...
