A look through the eyes of an AJK:
I thought the first few hours was hell when we had to rearrange the cafeteria tables and chairs, carry bottles after bottles of water from the HEP all the way to the canteen, move back and forth from the auditorium to the girl's hostel to the gym and to everywhere else.
I was wrong, that was just the beginning. Imagine doing all those things over and over and over again. Imagine running around Bandar Seri Begawan, Bukit Shahbandar and Muara Beach. Imagine doing all those hard work and not even acknowledged by the teachers. Imagine being criticize for DOING them. That's what we endured while you were out having fun. How could you say we had it easy? How could you say THAT was nothing compared to what you did? You were sleep-deprived? Hungry? Sometimes, we just slept for 1 hour! Sometimes, we starved for 24 hours! Our food was your left-overs. What you didn't want, we ate. When you complained that you didn't get enough food what did you think we had? On the flip side though, we got the air-conditioned room. I mean, ROOMS.
Stupid, stupid, stupid her. I don't know if she read blogs but I'll just call her Ms. Moley. Maybe you'll know her ;) She lives in the counseling room. She's the cause of most of our grief and pain. We paid $30 to WORK. We didn't even participate in the events. She didn't even thanked us.
Everything else just cruised through my head so I don't really remember much except being with the other AJKs. Seriously, if it wasn't for them, I don't know how I'll survive those hellish 4 days and 3 nights. We stuck by each other through the complains, through the suffering. We made jokes about it, we laughed it off because we knew that whatever happens, we'll always have each other. We provided a shoulder for one another to lean on and helped whenever we can and we had fun doing it.
Whenever we can, we'll relax with Tekken 5, Big 2 or just hanging out with each other. We'll eat, sleep, complain and laugh together as if we don't have a care in the world. Most importantly, we bonded in ways we never did before. For once, I actually understand why people hate her.
I'm not sure if this post is coherrent or not but I just want to get this out of my system.
But even though we suffered, I will never regret joining Kem Qiadah. Especially looking at the looks and faces of all those happy kids. It made me feel that it was worth it. It was worth seeing all those happy faces and laughter. It was worth the trouble.
So in a way, I did enjoyed it and strangely, I'm missing it. I miss everyone.. and I'm really going miss you guys if you leave. So please don't. I know I'm being selfish but I'll be lonely. Do you really want to leave us to deal with that lame monster all by ourselves? :(
