Fraser Hill LTC

Last weekend was spent at Fraser Hill for the Leadership Training Camp. On Friday, we gathered at the Sports Hall for some briefing, ice-breaking and team planning. The thing that really shagged us for the night was the treasure hunt around campus where we needed to move from one end to the other constantly. By the time everything ended, it was almost 1am plus. We slept at the hall after the activities and I would say all of us had only about 4hrs or so of sleep since we need to get up by 6 on the next day to board the bus.

Saturday was the main day of the LTC since we'll be setting off to Fraser Hill. This was my first time traveling there, so it will be interesting to see how it is different from Cameron or Genting. At the bus, most of the people dozed off quickly to catch up with lost sleep. When we reached the foot of Fraser Hill, it gets interesting because we're going to go up the windy roads. Of course, there were some worries that people may vomit from the dizziness but I'm ok with that after years of playing First Person Shooter games..haha. As the bus climbs higher, every bend that it goes through was kinda traumatising because the bus was just a few dozen centimeters away from te edge. One wrong move by the driver would see the entire bus tumbling down. Uggghh...I've never felt my life being made so cheap at that time. It's RM55 btw..lol. We were "compelled" to sign a death liability form before we come and that makes it even cheaper because they want to prevent the dead from claiming legal remedies...hahaha. But I don't think that's of any use because from the legal point of view, I doubt the law excuses people who are negligent in causing the death of others. Anyways, the first bus that was in front of us did got stuck at one of the bends. The driver had apparently misjudged the distance and as a result one of the tyres got stuck at the clay. The whole busload of people needed to come down since again, if the bus goes rolly polly, a whole dozen people are going to go GG. It took about 15 minutes or so to get back on track.

We were supposed to have breakfast down there but since we arrived there super late, it was lunch straight away. The breeze at Fraser Hill was cooling and the buildings at the town center does look like those from Cameron with the British cottage style. The rooms that we stayed in are quite good. It's an apartment with 3 rooms and 3 people are assigned to a room. The best thing is that we get our own attached bathrooms. We had another amazing race/treasure hunt activity and that took up almost 3 hours. Our team didn't really go full blast. We took our time to enjoy the sights and scenery of the place. The cool environment up there did spawn up some very intereting fauna and flora. Night time was conference with Intima to discuss the various roles that each committee member is placed in. After all the activities were done, it was free time to chill out and relax.

The dining area beside the reception became some sort of casino den because the different tables were playing different stuff with the poker cards. One group was engaged in heart attack while our group played Werewolves/Mafia. Lol..we are spreading this game around rapidly campus after our Subang camp. Haha..I was the Werewolf at the first round and I managed to win the game and get away with all the kills =p. I thought that I would miss the Man Utd game since we were at the top of the hill but they do have Astro at the reception area to my delight. So, after the first round, I excused myself to watch the match. Lol..who would have thought that I could catch a footie match at the top of Fraser Hill?

I was greeted the next morning with a beautiful view of the highlands and the cool breeze. There was conference with SAO after breakfast. Most were dozing off in their chairs. The drama presentation period afterthat was kinda entertaining with all the mimicking and one of the most classic line ever uttered was "a group of sperms..." Hmmmmm..I wondered who said that.. xD. At the end of it all, it was very tiring but it was good in a way coz I got to network and know the other committee members from other clubs and societies. Well, it's back to business as usual at campus now that it's the weekdays.
