Cagers' Best 'Vacation' so far..






We sat for our Final Exam on the last 2 weeks of the school term..It was such a pain for us to sit there and do our exam while other schools..had ended theirs much earlier..so of them had their last paper a day before we got ours..

And so we ended our exam on the last day of school..which was on Friday, 13th of November. After our Friday prayer, we rushed to our dorms and quickly packed our things before loading them into the bus..we also loaded boxes of mineral water and 100 plus as well as Cagers' important stuff..

34 Cagers from Form 1 till Form 4 joined the camp..we also had a few old boys joining us namely Cikgu Jimmy '91, Syahmi '08, Luqman '08 and of course Abg Ise '80..Aunty Ana also came along to conduct special social skills classes to the Cagers..We reached there at around 7.30 p.m and just in time for the u-15 players to warm themselves up before their game started..

They played a good game that night and the game was very fight and tight! But..the Cagers lost, 48-51 to the other team..but they never give up and still fight to the very last second and until the last whistle is blown..

That night we had our dinner after the game and had a little briefing before we sleep..And we slept peacefully that night..each forms had their own room (but some of them ad to sleep outside!) and some of the form 4s (because of too many) had to share a room with the form 1s..

So the next day, the form 4s, were woken up by Abg Ise and Cikgu Jimmy for a morning jog within the area..We jogged, ran, and even hiked to the top of a hill where they plant cabbages..quite interesting! After we finished our morning activity, the whole cagers gathered at the living room for the communication skills class that was conducted by our very own Aunty Ana. Many were learned and many were shared, like what is the most important thing when you speak? How to tackle certain types of people? And how to handle various things in critical situations..

After having our classes, we get ready for the upcoming match, that very night, we had a lot of rest that evening and really enjoyed our sleep since it was cold.

That night, the Cagers played against a tough team and were beaten .... by the opponent..but they played well and were satisfied with losing..it wasn't them who didn't play well..the other team was just better and had the advantage in terms of size and skills..We had a vote that night and named Iqbal as the best player for two straight games.

The next few days were as usual as the first day. We had our morning walk, class, rest and game..

The Cagers in total won 2 matches and lost 3..which makes them no. 4 in placing and surprisingly they won the best team award since they are the only team that have ever played in a tournament in Cameron Highlands..the supporters, led by the form 4s did a very good job in cheering up the team and making the matches, more interesting..






The next day, some of the Cagers had to go back since they have family affairs and plans. Some of them had to go back to koleq to take a Mandarin Oral Test that they were supposed to take 2 days before. Sir, himself, gave a special, last minute tuition for them to make sure that his players pass the exam. And so, the house is left with only 18 Cagers..

On the day that most of the Cagers are leaving, the balance Cagers left were forced by Abg Ise to take a morning stroll since this will be our last day before we leave the next day. Ok, so we went out for a walk to the playground..at first, we didnt want to go up to the BOH farm but since this will be our last walk, so we decided to go. Little did we know that BOH farm is situated 15 km from our place..the signboard said 6 km only! Our journey getting up there costed us 1.5 hours and very tired legs.. Everybody was nagging "Abg Chip..where is it? Why so long the journey?" haha.. even Badak nagged about the journey.. so anyway, we reached the place around 10 o'clock and went straight to its highest point, View Point. From there, we could not see a thing because of the thick fog. But the temperature was so cold and windy, we wouldn't want to come down.. But we did and before we left the place, we had a drink at the BOH Tea Shop. Oh! How wonderful it was to drink a cup of tea in cold weather. After that, we bought a few gifts for our family back home and for Abg Ise & Aunty Ana, and Sir. We walked or jogged another 15 kilometers down to our house and reached there around 12.30 p.m. It was such a tiring journey and Mr. Liew, Abg Ise and Aunty Ana were shocked that we hiked 15 km up and jogged another 15 km down..

That night, we had to play a game where everyone was given a piece of paper each, and had to write his name on it. Then, we had to add an adjective before our name. For example, Badak, he put Bombastic Badak, and Aiman, he put Adorable Aiman. There are many other funny names and adjectives. After that, we had to paste it onto our back and make sure that everybody see it and then everybody had to go around to each person and write down positive comments about that person..After everything is done.. Aunty called our name and we have to read what is written on our paper..It was so fuuuunnn..and embarrassing..haha but what to feel ashamed of, we're with our own family, The Cagers Family. The peak of the night was our official Talent Night where every Cager has to sing..Some of them sang well especially Afif with The Climb (he had been practicing all day long), and some of them sang badly like ...(Not gonna say who)..but overall it was fun and entertaining.

We had wrapped up the camp and the night with a speech given by Q-4-G Club President, Sdr. Hilmy Hakim bin Hamzah, Aunty, Abg Ise and lastly by Sir. Sir even sang a song entitled 'Kumbaiya' that night.

The next day, we all prepared ourselves to go back home and leave Cameron Highland. We were very sad to leave the place and all our memories being together laughing and enjoying ourselves for the whole week.. Some of the Cagers left with Abg Ise while the others board the college bus.. we departed at 3.30 and arrived at koleq sometime around 7.30 pm..And so..our Cameron Highland ended there..

The Cagers would like to thank Abg Ise, Aunty Ana and Sir + Cikgu Jimmy so much for their undying effort for really really bringing us to the camp..PIBGs..Thanks to koleq Admins to for their support and help financially and for giving the permission for the Cagers to go..Thanks to Pak Cik Megat for driving us back and forth to Cameron Highlands..Old Boys, esp. Syahmi and Luqman..parents who supported us monetarily..and those who helped us in making this camp a reality..

Thank You very much..

Cagers10 is proudly to conclude..
