2010 Cameron Highlands Field Trip



One day before the Cameron Highlands trip I packed my things like jacket, pants, shorts and all the stuffs i needed. I was very excited going there because that was the first time i will visit this place. The next day, that was Friday is the day that we going to Cameron Highlands. All things are packed and everything i needed was already checked. I was so excited then and I took a shower and go straight to the primary school.We are so early then because of our excitement and i've seen also my classmate that they were also excited about this trip.They have their big luggages as if they are going for a tour within one month. But i understand, that shows that we're really excited and can't really wait to sit on the bus and go.Before going for a trip the teachers have to check our attendance then we have briefing and Mr. Joseph leads us in prayer. After that one by one we went to the bus and find our seats. And so on we departed from the primary school.
While on the road travelling I saw a lots of trees and mountains. While waiting to reach that place we slept for a while because we know that its a five hours to travel. We stopped in a restaurant and we took our lunch.Our lunch was so terrible and i ca'nt take it because it taste like burned.Then we continue to travel again. I was able to take a little bit of nap and wondering why i feel so cold? Then I ask our teacher where are we? teacher told us that we are in Cameron already. Then when I heard that i felt so happy and excited. At last after a long hours of travel,finally we're there. Five minutes later we had arrived in Cameron , the place was so nice.. Then our teachers took us to the dorm where we are assigned to stay.They separate boys from the girls. Our dorm was so nice.. After they took us to our dorm, then they called us to gather us outside and have a short briefing and they splitted the students into five groups. My group was so nice to me. I enjoyed their company. Our team was so cooperative and find so comfortable with each other.Then we played our team building that was the time that we won our first game. After we played the game, they gave us 30 minutes so that we can rest. After we rested we go straight to the canteen area and we took our dinner. Now the food was so good its better than the burned food that we took outside. I enjoyed the food, i like the taste its so delicious.

Tuesday my second day in Cameron. We woke up early and we warmed up then I took a shower the water was so cold.. they gave us the journal its like a diary. Then we took breakfast and we went to the Organic farm i saw how they make fertilizer. Aunty Grace was the cook in Chee Foo, she was so nice to us .he also teach us how to make scones,its a biscuits and we enjoyed making it. That night we prepared for the activity in IJC Convent school. Three groups prepared for some activities. One activity is Science and the other is English. I chose science activity bcause i know it's fun and very interesting.

Wenesday my favorite day. We woke up early again then we had a treasure hunt and it was fun. Afterwards we went to the IJC Convent school. The school was nice but the students was a little bit noisy. Then we showed them some science activites that we prepared a night ago. After that we took our lunch then the primary school returned there for a friendly match but the secondary stayed in Chefoo but we played soccer then Desmond injured his right arm because of the ball.then we took our dinner. We didn't hike because we're all tired

Thursday our busy day we woke up in usual time and took my shower the water was so warm because of the heater. We warmed up and took my breakfast. We visited the "BOH" teaf farm and the farm was so huge.Then we hiked on the top of the mountain I we was so tired we planted 64 plants on the top of the mountain. After that we go back to Chefoo and we went to the "BOH" tea factory. Then we prepared for our talent nite .We performed that night and every group also showed their talents. All of us has a unique choreography. Every group gave their best performance that night. All of us were laughing and we really have fun. I can't forget that night. After the Talent nite, we ate barbeque together and the teacher told us that we are the winner. My group won the second price on the talent nite but we won because my team got the highest points on the team buldings. That night we had our heart to heart conversation with Mr Danny.Our group shared each others likes and dislikes and Mr Danny is the one who assist us in the conversation we had.

Pause button

It is so easy to be reactive! You get caught up in the moment. You say
things you don't mean. You do things you regret later. And you think,
"Oh, if only I had stopped to think about it, I would never have reacted
that way!" Clearly, our lives would be better if we acted based on our
deepest values instead of reacting to the feelings of the moment. What we

all need is a 'pause button' - something that enables us to stop between
what happens to us and our response to it.

What did you do during the Chinese New Year??

This year's Chinese New Year I only did a few things. One of the few things that I did is go to my mothers friends house in Juru and we chatted with them an some of them gave me angpao. My mothers friend son and I played some fire crackers and he and I really enjoyed it.. After that day I went to my another friends house and we played some firecrackers again and again..

This year is the best Chinese New Year that i've ever experienced!!!
