NS Fact: Like the military,there are four main companies(some have more).

Alpha
,Bravo,Charlie and Delta.

I'm in Kompeni Bravo(Bravo Company).

According to wikipedia, An obstacle course is a series of challenging physical obstacles an individual or team must navigate usually while being timed. Obstacles courses can include running, climbing, jumping, crawling and balancing elements with the aim of testing endurance; sometimes a course involves mental tests.

(no pics of me crossing the obstacles,only me taking pictures of my friends)
Kembara Halangan-pagar 3 kaki

Pagar tiga kaki, the 3 foot fence(not 3 legs ok!)
-"sup sup sui" I passed it so easily

Kembara Halangan Tembok enam kaki

Tembok enam kaki, the 6 foot wall
- I crossed with ease again...but I was really suprised that some of the wira find it very difficult,wirawati can have partners assisting them to cross this but wira have to do it alone...
(in some camps,wirawati don't have to do this at all)

NS fact:Trainees are called Wira(for boys) and Wirawati(for girls)

So I'm a wira! haha I'm a Hero...

Kembara Halangan Monkey Bar

The Monkey Bars...
- Sad to say but I have to admit that I fell into the water the first time I tried the monkey bars,mainly because it rained before we went into the jungle so the bars are wet and I couldn't grip the bars as well as I should but the 2nd time I got passed it without a problem.

Camp fact: Usually the Kembara Halangan in other camps are on the ground,hence it is easier.In certain camps like mine,the equipments are installed in the jungle up the hills but its cooler and more adventurous.

Kembara Halangan-The Tarzan Swing

The Tarzan Swing
- This is fun...OH-E-O E-O!


Kembara Halangan To be continued....

My Days in the National Service Program : Intro

Ladies and gentlemen,I'm finally putting one step forward towards blogging about my days in the Program Latihan Khidmat Negara(PLKN) also known as the National Service Program(NS).

The reason for not updating about my days in NS is mainly because I had to think how should I blog about it,should it be in chronological order(of course must be logical) or should I follow by events or by module categorizing.

I feel incredibly guilty if someone comes up to me and ask me whether I'm going to blog about it or not or when will I finally do something about it... So here's the intro:

I am going to blog about it according to the modules.
