We reach there and check in at 1pm something. After check in, everyone rest and lunch first before the torturing training games start. Haha, I already had my lunch at home, so I went to walk around and take some photos… XD

Poor Sherrie had her lunch at the carpark

Beware of falling coconut fruits! XD

Let’s explore and find our room…

Kim’s lunch

Let’s explore…

Tophill swimming pool

Waiting for shutter to lobby… >.<

At 3pm something, everyone meet in the room and start the first flag designing game. At first, there are 2 groups, top committees to be one group, and the heads of department one group. But due to lack of participants to the training camp, both groups were combined to one, and called G.S.F.

Wow… G.S.F? What does it mean? @@
Great Snow Fish? Giant Snow Fish? Gay Snow Fish? Gay Society Federation? Gay Street Fighters? Lol… It’s Great Snowfish Federation…
*Sherrie’s nick name is Snowfish

Limited time was given to the group to design and draw their flag. At the end, they all look happy with the flag… XD

After this, it’s 5pm already… It’s free time until10pm. Lol… At first, some went to swim at the pool there. Since it’s only an hour swim, many of us decided not to swim and just walk around. Of course I did take some evening scenary as well… XD

After that, we had our dinner at Buntal around 7pm. Total of 9 persons went to Buntal. They are Rain, Yakuza, SWATWolf, Leon, Cherdas, Kim, Serene, Sherrie, and me. But Sherrie, Rain, and Steven were not eating. And then, 2 persons, Taka and Lih Ren were left at Damai Beach because they do not want to have dinner at Buntal. Anyway, we chat a lot of things there, including gossip of someone… XD But eating there is actually expensive. 6 persons with normal dishes at RM130… @@

Menu of the night

At 9pm something, we all back to our room. And then, Rain robbed the G.S.F flag… XD

Mission accomplished for robbing their flag

A few minutes later, Sherrie discovered that their flag is gone. She starting to “kintio” again… Haha… Other group members were starting to find the flag as well. But then they can’t find it. XD

Sherrie finding their missing flag

Others finding their flag as well

Rain asked them not to find the flag anymore, and start another game. It’s fashion design game. They have to design the “clothes” by using newspaper. One for lady, and one for man, in 20 minutes.

Big plans for Asia… XD

Taka: Please don’t touch my breast… >.<
Leon: I want to touch it desperately… XD

The lady and the man of the night

One of the judges – SWATWolf

Listening to what the judges explained

At the end, they passed the game, and no punishment for them. Next, it’s story time… Rain tells the history of SAMS, so that they know better about SAMS. Another Island Survival game right after story telling. It’s kind of like testing quiz actually… XD

Story time

Island survival discussion

After survival game, it’s punishment time for losing the flag… XD
4 of them agreed to drink Serene’s special juice… And 1 agreed to had face drawing punishment… Lol…

Hiak hiak hiak… Here is your flag…

Serene introducing her special juice… XD

Evil SWATWolf wanna draw someone’s face
*Lightning striking at the back with evil smile*

So, that’s the end of the day. There is 1 more game at the beach that we wanted to play at the second day morning. But too bad that it was raining… The rain stopped at 10am something, so we decided to swim at the pool… Haha… And so, that’s the end of the training camp. It’s fun and interesting actually. Wish to have another trip or camp soon… XD

Ok, that’s all… Thanks for reading and have a nice day ya…

Well, I was trying to communicate with everyone during the gathering, but too bad that it’s hard for me because I don’t know some of them, and I’m shy to introduce myself also… Haha…

Er… What else? Oh… I didn’t manage to take photos there. I was rushing myself before the event, and I forgot to bring my sister camera. You may ask why not using your phone camera? Well, it’s hard for my phone camera to take a good photos due to the lightning which causes digital noise. And also, I was busying with the money stuff… >.<”

I had grab some nice potatoes photos by Gerald Lim and Rollakid. Enjoy ya… =)
