- Needs to be more interesting

Rate: 8/10

8.30am (after breakfast):
Bila Kapalku Pecah

Participants’ opinions
- those who had to present felt very nervous
- at first they’re shy. However, after a while, they were okay with it.
- Excited ( to show others how they would use their items during emergencies)
- Teamwork (brainstorm)
- Timing just right. In the morning ( fresh, can think), just enough time for brainstorming and it’s not draggy.

Rate: 8/10

10.00am:
Rafting

Merge 2 groups together. (4 small groups initially)
1 group 10 ppl.

Participants really show a lot of support in this activity.
They really wanted to finish their raft on time.
Also, they put a lot of strength in it as they really wanted the raft to support ALL their weight so that everyone could go into the sea together.

Participants’ views
- enjoyable
- have the sense of satisfaction ( both rafts actually FLOATS with all of them on it)
- had loads of fun- play with water, get wet
- an experience for them. They know how to build a raft, given a list of materials

Facilitators’ views

- a success (we thought they wouldn’t be enthu abt it but it turned out otherwise)
- fun for us too as we were able to join in the fun ( and this is when facis sebok2 sit on the raft – contributing to the weight-, sort of raced, some facis had fun kayaking while teaching the participants how to paddle and also to ensure the safety of everyone =))

Rate: 10/10 =D

Kuliah was cancelled (Ustaz couldn’t come)

So after Zohor and Lunch,
Ustaz Ismail brief them about ‘Siapalah Aku’,
and this is when the participants get together in their groups and brainstorm on what to do/ what to say during the whole forum ( about global warming. SO interesting sey! )

Also, they played dodgeball conducted by Ikhwan while the other facis searched for places to put the items for treasure hunting and telematch.


5.15pm, After Asar
Telematch/ Treasure Hunting
- Stations to with tasks to be completed
- 1st group completed the tasks AND got all 4 items for treasure hunt won =D

TELEMATCH - Views! (participants)
- for girls, the station where the needed to score goals (penalty kick thingy) was difficult. DUH.
- They ran around like mad and tire themselves up.
- Limited time ( 1h 15 mins to complete both the telematch and treaure hunt). So, it’s challenging.

TREASURE HUNTING – views! (participants)
- tiring but fun
- difficult to find the treasure coz there are no clues whatsoever but they found them anyway.

Views! (facilitators)
- It’s not very hectic for us. It’s more on the participants’ part to run around, find things and finish stations etc.
- tgk dorg lari, kiter yang penat sey. Haha!

Rate: 8/10

9.20pm
Siapalah Aku ( abt global warming ), Campfire
Talk about global warming very bad and all but then in the middle, we burn wood for campfire.

- Test of self- confidence and presentation skills
- By then, participants were not as shy as before coz they already bond with one another. Tak malu2 la kire.
- This is when we found our Camp Idol ( like Singapore Idol gitu ).who sang twice. After the forum and the closing of the whole campfire activity.
- And the campfire was when participants bakar potatoes ( serious nye tak de kerje lain) for fun.

Ends at around 10.45pm.

Views (participants)
- they find the whole discussion thing sort of light-hearted. Had fun, tak serious sangat.
- Also, find it amusing when they look at the people trying SO hard to bakar potatoes but in the end the potatoes ended up IN the fire ( ade yang sampai 3 kali sey try but then FAILED) Hahaha!
- The so-called Idol nye voice very soothing..
- However, there are some points when they got bored
- ‘Api at first besar sangat, rase bahang sey’

Views (faci)
- those who didn’t participate in the whole forum got bored easily.
- We had truckloads of fun la and the burning potato thing is fun but no point. Haha!
- The forum went well
- It felt great!

Rate: 9/10

28 December – Friday

7.00am
Physical activity:

- warm up
- play games
- not draggy so it’s okay.

After that, breakfast and then kemas-kemas.

9.50am
Prize Presentation
Best group, Best Individual ( Guy and Girl), Best facilitator (Jannah AND Ikhwan won!).
Okay anyway, the facilitators vote for best Individual, best group is based on their points and best faci is based on the participants. =D

All in all, it was fairly successful. And everyone had loads of fun lah that’s for sure.
