BTN. New experience. July 2013

It took me so long to post anything. Why? Well, obviously because of the laziness lingering around meh. Hehe.

First and foremost, alhamdulillah for everything I had today. I can breathe so well with no hesitations and threats and alhamdulillah live peacefully with the presence of beloved family and loved ones and of course alhamdulillah I can meet with another holy Ramadhan this time. Alhamdulillah syukur. Salam Ramadhan, salam ukhuwah, Salam 1 Malaysia!

Before I start the whole chapter of going to BTN in why should I go, how and blablabla, I wanna ask you something. What do you want.. I meant what do you think you can utmost do to preserve, protect and defend your own country, Malaysia? Have you ever think and try to make the most reliable outcomes to comprehend to what you wish/think? 

To be frank, I really can't tell myself what can I do as well. Not before I went to this programme which I found it was really beneficial and to know about the country-the place where we live in is just a must. It is a must to know how this country has been survived from varies of situations i.e Peristiwa 13 Mei, how to achieve the freedom, free from war, free from being stuck to the colonial's absurd orders, and enjoy the life as we women don't ever need to think of insecurity of going out. I guarantee, even the clock shows 2 am but you still brave enough to drive or at least going out. I meant stepping outside. At least we don't have to think we will be captured as we stepped our foot on the land to become their slaves. Hell. No mercy. No negotiate. No life. No enjoy. No hope. Just fear. 

C'mon. We don't have to experience those feelings and freaky people anymore. And here, where should we cultivate the patriotism or at least even trying to preserve the harmony and peaceful situation? Define peace. Define harmony. Define them. Sometimes, none. None of them feels it is a need to know about the country. Politics. Economy. Social. Education. Rubbish. Eff. Only bad words picture what they think of it. Whereas you can dig the information as much as you need from a reliable sources to let thyself know how Malaysia was created, how close the knots between the people before, how tragic it was when it came to beg for our own independence. 

Okay. Enough. Let's back to the topic before.

So for the first day I reached the Kem Bina Negara Ulu Sepri, Negeri Sembilan, one thing came across to my mind. "THE HECK THIS PLACE. SO FAR LIKE SERIOUSLY SO HULU AND I CANT EVEN RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE" Serioussssss like hulu gila. Dream it on for Maxis and Digi's users to stay connected to family, friends and etc. No bar at all. I'm proud to be Celcom users, k tetiba. Haha cut off. The solely connection was just for Celcom coverage no matter how far and how hulu it be, it always be there for you hehehehehe. So, next time if you plan/you are forced to go there just in case prepare the celcom number. The place was okay and so peaceful. Though the river stream looked very nice and cool enough, it engulfed 10 persons before this already. That's why we were given a strict warning of getting near to the river. (based on the information, idk if it a comedy or what but people died is not even a comedy to me) We just reached so early and we were given time to rest and adapt with the green environment. First day was okay, ceramah was just okay, well gain knowledge from here somehow. Everything was so so and normal.

For the next day, with the kurung and kemeja, we attend the talk again till evening. All those are just to gain and cultivate the awareness among us who thought we don't even need to know about this stuff before we reached 'the age'. Then for the night session, ice breaking was started by Abg Joe. Everything started to be normal and relax. No stiff and no awkward. Everything was broken. The knots were tied quite close. Everyone shared the laughter. No more krik krik to chill the atmosphere. Oh Yes. Those 116 people who attended the camp were from Felda, Mara Global and KPM sponsors. I'm one of the Mara Global's team. Various of ages, courses and of course from where we live in.

For the third and forth day, it started for a new thing. The speaking skills has been developed, the mind was forced to think out of box, the tolerancy has been an issue to argue, the needs of behaving so well in a community has been explained. Many kinds of experience has been shared by the team, how tough their journey to reach there and no doubt, "Knowledge is Power" quotes really meant it. Well.. trying something new is just challenging enough. And challenges are something to strike on with the utmost ability as well as a good adaptation. I learned and tried many things. I should say things that I have never done before. 

Last but not least, to pass the examination on the last day which was organised by the BTN organiser need our full commitment and attentions along the talks and discussions. With the trademark, "no pass, no fly" trigger us to be alert and stay focus along the journey. 

With a sayings from a friend of mine, please do attach it in thy mind. 

"Don't believe in yourself who believe in other,

Don't believe in other who believe in you,

Believe in you who believe in yourself"
