On the first day, each platoon members gathered at RC and SMK TTA awaiting to take officer's car to go to the campsite. Before reaching the campsite, we stopped at Kota Tinggi town to have our breakfast with officers and our Honorary Captain. After taking our breakfast, we depart for Kota Tinggi Waterfall resort. On the way ,we saw our old campsite and the water has become very murky.
When we reached the Kota Tinggi Waterfall Resort, we took some group photo and then we was introduced some ranger who will be leading us on this expedition. Then, we started our expedition journey.
On the way, we saw a lot of palm trees and a big pond in the jungles. Then after walking for about 1.5 km, we saw a river and the water was clean. After crossing the river, we finally felt what the feeling of expedition and it was quite tough.
After 45 minutes of walk, we reached our first campsite. Then, we set up our tent and put our bags into our tent. After that, we went to jungle to explore more. The ranger told us about those small waterfall names. And the name was meaningful. There got about 4 small waterfalls and the name was Japanese Garden, Rock Garden, Spa and Air Terjun Sungai Telepah.
After that, we go back to our campsite and have our lunch. In the afternoon, our game master, Mr. Soon prepared some games for us and the winners does not need to do night duty. In the games, we saw a lot of members were playing cheats because they don’t want to do night duty. But then, every member still enjoyed in the games a lot.
At about 4pm, we start to prepare for our dinner. Actually, the first day dinner should be a cooking test but because of the rain, the cooking test was postponed to second day. So, we were allowed to use bunsen burner to cook our dinner. At about 7pm, we had our dinner and then cleaned our utensils and place to make sure that we can continue to use it for the next day breakfast.
At night, we had our devotion. Mr. Soon shared one story with us and told us what the meaning of the story. Then, L/Cpl Chua Woei Loon gave a sharing with us. And the sharing is about what he learnt in a church camp which he participated before coming for the expedition.
We slept at 9pm on the first day due to everyone is already quite tired after a long day.
On the second day morning, everyone need to wake up at about 7am and start to prepare breakfast for our own group. After having breakfast, we break our tent and continue our journey to the summit of the mountain after some officers which come on second day meet up with us. The rain increases the toughness of the journey. However, all the beautiful waterfall and amazing natural scene had attracted our sight and made us forget our tiredness.
Finally, we reached the summit of mountain at about 1pm after a 4 hours of trekking. Then, we carry on to set up our tent and had our lunch there. Some members went to collect firewood for campfire and also for dinner. After taking our bath, we start to cook our dinner without using the burner as the weather was good and we had enough supply of firewood.
After filing our stomach with delicious food, we start to light up the campfire. We had a very enjoyable sharing section with officers about their funny and unforgettable experience in their past camps. After that, we had our sleep so that we have enough energy to finish tomorrow’s journey.
On the third day morning, we woke up at about 6am. Then, we had to prepare for our breakfast and packs our bag. After that, we need to break down our tent and descend from the summit. It was a tough journey but our officers and seniors keep encourage us to finish this journey.
After about three hours, finally we reached the starting point and we would like to thank God that no accident happened during the whole duration of the camp. Then, we went to waterfall resort to enjoy the cold waterfall water. Besides that, some of the members have a chance to buy the burger as their lunch. Meanwhile, some of the officers were sitting down and eating the delicious ‘ice kacang’.
About 3pm, we had to leave Kota Tinggi. Because some members were hungry, so we stopped at a ‘famous cendol’ stall. The ‘cendol’ was very nice and quite different with the normal one that we had in JB town. After that, we went home. It was really a nice and interesting expedition and we really enjoyed it. Hopefully we will have a second chance to experience this kind of expedition again.
This was the 3 days and 2 nights expedition camp. Are you regretting because you missed it?
