As some of you may already know, Kem Qiadah was officially held from the 20th to 23rd at Maktab Sains PSBS. The participants were required to stay there for the duration of the camp and were not allowed to bring electronic devices. The activities were no easy feat, although some people would scoff and say "sekadar." It took both physical and mental endurance to march with the police force for nearly three hours, navigate FOUR HILLS at Bukit Shahbandar and ran around Muara Beach solving quizzes and physical tests alike. These were all done under the HOT BLAZING SUN. During the whole time, we observed the Ahli Jawatankuasa (AJK) - the pra-U one PRS members - and we all commented on just how LUCKY they are, for they were excluded from the rigorous activities. We didn't stop to think that they were suffering just as much as we were.
Being sleep deprived, hungry and bone-tired makes us more susceptible to forgetting the efforts of others and actually thanking them. While the teachers also did their share of work, it was the AJK who worked tirelessly till 3 in the morning, to ensure our time at Kem Qiadah would not be fruitless. They are the ones who went through the Shahbandar hills and Muara beach first, just to prepare our games, to make sure they would go off without a hitch. So, in truth, they went through what we did, perhaps even more. So I think we should all congratulate the AJK, the behind-the-scene people, who were mostly forgotten by the teachers and students alike.
Thank you for thinking of our well-being, for making sure we were fed, for taking time off your holiday to be there for us. Let's not forget that these student leaders are 16-18 years old, too young, I think, to be shouldering such heavy burdens as taking care of their fellow peers. Also, keep in mind that had they not given their best in their work, we would've been more sleep-deprived, hungry and tired. So, on the behalf of every Kem Qiadah participant, I wish all of you my most heartfelt thanks. Looking forward to seeing what other amazing feats you guys are capable of in the future! SYABAS!!
And extra thanks to Rachel Lai for attempting to upload the massive number of photos she took! Also, sorry if I forgot to tag some people. Mention and I'll tag them.
Lots of love,
Aqilah (and all Kem Qiadah participants)
*btw, my toothbrush and toothpaste are missing. Ada di gym? Sorry :S
