6 November 2014 (Day 4)

Caving 


In Gua Tempurung Cave!


This is the first time most of us had ever gone into a cave. It's an exhilarating experience for us. We had to climb up about 800 steps inside the cave and also crawl on our knees at some parts. We have to tread through parts where the water level were knee-high. It was dark and we couldn't see what was in front of us. We had to depend on each other especially the ones in front to shine their torch light to guide us out of the cave. There were parts where some of us had to form a line to illuminate the route for the others to walk. Truly a team effort.


Waterfall Abseiling



Intently listening to the instructions given by our instructor. We were reminded to have our safety helmets on at all times in the abseiling area. Our motto: Safety, Learning, Fun!


Some of us playing at the bottom of the waterfall while waiting for our turns to go for abseiling. The water was cold but refreshing. It was also the first time many of us has ever been to a waterfall.

I found it difficult in both the caving and waterfall abseiling activities. It was difficult for me to crawl through the darkness especially with water around me. However, I told myself that I have to brave it through and with a clear mind, I succeeded in completing the caving activity. As for the waterfall abseiling, I overcame the fear of the currents and encourage myself to give my best to complete the abseiling. I have learnt that many things in life requires a lot of courage and endurance to go through them. Seek first to understand, then seek to be understood. As a leader, we must not be selfish and we must always set our priorities right. I must be responsible and always think for my members before myself whenever I make any decisions. I must always be positive in any situations, resolve problems rationally, overcome adversities in order to motivate my members.

I learnt to be more confident in myself and to trust my camp mates. I learnt that I need to be brave and to overcome my fears when completing the activities. It is important to have a never-give-up attitude in life and be more positive in my thinking.

I learnt that the unknown is not always what we are afraid of . Being focus is an important and critical aspect in order for everything to go smoothly in a group. In a team, every member is equally important and we must never leave anyone behind. I learnt that I must always rely on myself because help may not be available at all times. As a leader, I must learn to motivate my members in overcoming their fears in certain activities. Every one needs another person in life to help them at some parts of their life. No man is an island.
