Anniversary

In a blink of eye, one year had past. I still remember this day this time, I was on a bus, in the journey to Kem Bakau Resort Kerteh, Terengganu. That time, I was indeed feeling lonely and sad, because I was leaving my family as I was selected for National Service. There were only 2 person which I knew on the bus, Melvin and Alford, which I knew only on that day itself.

Upon arriving at the camp site, the thought of having to spend 3 months time in the camp with all strangers of different races from different background really freak me out, somehow.

However, as time past and getting to know other campers well, the feeling of freaking out subsided and eventually converted into fun. Despite the tedious marching under the hot sun from 2.00pm til 4.00pm, boring classes every morning and afternoon and having to wash our own clothes, we had our fun and exciting activities such as challenging obstacle course, visiting to fire station, flying fox and also ‘lepaking’ at the cafe during holidays.

Through all those activities I did with the other campers, my network of friends in the camp eventually got wider and I get to know more friends such as Chee Ka, Kong Sime, Taufik, Chee Kiat, Seh Kiat, Yi Xiong, Zhen Kar, Nicholas, Sam, Najib,Azizi, Abi, Hafis, Kenneth, Ah Hong, Ah Yung, Mandave, Eman, Jye Haur, Kong, Kian Fei, Chee Kian, Wai Yik, Jian Shen, Zong Bin, Wai Chong, Miki, Shan Mei, Yi Min, Caren, Hui Sin, Bao Yue, Mun Mun, Allen, Qiao Yan and many many more.

After spending about 2 months together, where we eat together, work together, doing activities together, laugh together, cry together and for dorm-mate where we sleep together, bath together etc. Our friendship is so strong where almost all of us broke down on the last day in the camp.

But of course our friendship doesn’t end here, we had our Sunway Pyramid gathering just few days after we came back.

I just wanna say that National Service is indeed a memorable event for me and it’s once a life-time experince.

Happy Anniversary to all Wira and Wirawati of PLKN Kumpulan 2/Siri 5 Kem Bakau Resort Kerteh, Terengganu.
