2009 Recruitment Camp

2nd Penang Company recruitment camp for 2009 were held on the 19th, 20th and 21st of March 2009 at Hutan Lipur, Teluk Bahang. It was participated by around 50 members of boys and girls of the 2nd Penang Company. The camp commandant for this camp is W/O Loh Kar Heng assisted by the camp coordinator Cpl. Kenneth Chang and also the rest of the committee members. Before we leaved for the campsite, campers were assigned into six groups. Each group consists of an NCO, a group leader and tent leader.

Day 1

Our bus departed from Wesley Methodist Church at 11am and arrived at the campsite around 12pm. They played an ice breaker which started the ball rolling. The atmosphere was more relaxed after the ice breaker as most of them has got to know each other. After the ice breaker, Cpl Kenneth introduced a song called "I want to be your friend" and everyone enjoyed the song. There's also action to the song so everyone followed the action. At 1.00pm, all the campers get ready with their kitchen utensils for the self-cooked lunch. This is a special lunchtime where they had to cook their own food. The best part is they had to start a fire using charcoal. Every group were given a time frame of 2 hours for them to complete their cooking. Indeed, every group were able to complete their meal in the given time. Good job to all campers.

After they finished their lunched, the next program awaits them is the treasure hunt. The hunt was very challenging not only mentally but physically as well because they have to roam around the whole campsite to search for clues. At 5pm, all the campers were taught to build tents. Sir Victor and a few NCOs' demonstrated to all the campers on how to set up the tent. They listen attentively because they feared that there will be no place to sleep at night if they do not know how to build a tent. Dinner were served at around 6pm and all campers were to sing the table grace before every meal. And after dinner, campers proceed to the hall for the opening ceremony of the 2009 Recruitment Camp. A short speech by Lt. Ch'ng Ewe Hong and after that the MC of the day, Cpl. Philip Aw called upon three officers, Lt. Ewe Hong, Lt. John Fabian and also W/O Loh Kar Heng to officially start the camp by popping party poppers. Thereafter, it was time for the worship session and a sharing from our invited speaker, Pastor Christopher Choy who is also the Captain of 1st BMJ company. At 10.30pm, it was the time for war game which make quite a lot of them alarmed because they do not know what they are going to do. After Cpl. Kenneth briefed them about the game and how it goes, they calmed down a little bit. But there are still some of them who are afraid because it was very dark. After the war games, it is lights out. Last Post was played by three of our buglers, Lt. John Fabian, W/O Loh Kar Heng and Cpl. Kenneth Chang. The campers then went back into their tent and have a good sleep.

Day 2

The campers were made to wake up at 6.30am to go for their morning exercise. After the morning exercise, they moved to the hall for the morning worship and a short sharing by Ms. Noreen Khoo. Posteriorly it was breakfast time for all campers. Then, the campers get to rest their mind and body before they fare to Sungai Tukun which is quite far away from the campsite and they have to wend by walking there. They had a lot of fun at Sungai Tukun. Let the pictures do the talking.

After they came back from Sungai Tukun, they were weary but very excited. So it is worth the long and tired journey. Dinner is next on the schedule. And after dinner, they headed to the hall for a worship and last session of sharing by Pastor Christopher Choy. During the alter call, 3 of the campers accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour. All glory to God. Subsequently, it is the much anticipated night hike. We can see mixed emotions when we informed the campers about night hike. Some were very excited, but some were afraid of the dark. After the hike, every campers felt they were very brave because they overcome their biggest fear. They were getting tired so it is lights out at 1.00am.

Day 3

The campers again have to wake up at 6.30am for their morning exercise to get them ready for the day. Today will be less stressful because it was the last day. The campers end the camp with a few games. They packed and went back home very excited.

Obstacle Race

Our first acitivity of the year 2009 was the obstacle race. This is our first obstacle race since 1999. All the members arrived at Wesley Methodist Church at 3.00 pm.Around 80 boys took part and they were divided into 6 teams. We had a short briefing and introduction after everyone has settled down. After that, Lance Corporal Jonahan Khoo led the singsparation with the song "ging gang guli guli". We start the race at 3.30 pm. with Team 1.

The first obstacle is they have to jump over a balance beam. After that, they will proceed to the maze. All the team members have to be blindfolded except for the team leader. The team leader will then have to lead the team members through the maze. The third obstacle is they have to crawl through a narrow hole and slide down from a pole. This the toughest of all the obstacle because it does not only test our members physically but mentally as well. For those who have phobia of heights, they hesitated before sliding down the pole which is around 2 metre.

Moving to the next obstacle is the commando crawl. The boys will have to crawl under a row of chairs with flour on the ground. They showed their agility by crawling as fast as they could. They crawl through as though they were a snake gliding through. After crawling through, they moved to the

the obstacle where they have to spin for 5 rounds and then pick as many ping pong balls they could with their mouth.

The second last obstacle is the much anticipated obstacle of the day. It is called the dark tunnel.
The boys will have to crawl through a tent which contains water inside it. And the best part is it is dark and they did not know that there is water inside. So, they were shocked yet thrilled to find out that they have to crawl through with water inside. In the end, each and everyone of them got wet after completing this obstacle. The last obstacle is the electric fence. This obstacle needs a lot of teamwork and communication among team members. Without these two, you will not be able to complete this challenging task. This obstacle requires the members to transfer each and everyone of them towards the other side of the without touching the fence. All teams were able to complete all the obstacles and finish it on time. Team 2 led by Adriel Ng and assist by Nicholas Ng is the winner for the obstacle race. Kudos to Team 2 for finishing the fastest of all. Overall, the obstacle race is a success and everyone enjoyed themselves on that even though some of them went back with mud on their clothes.
