It's already 2 weeks ago..

I feel better now..

To face the fact that we lose..huhu

What lose?? haha..

In Sony Nature Camp 2010..

It's time for photography..Yeah!

On 10th December,

'We',Valiant Shutter (VS) was given golden chances..

As one of the representatives from Johor.

Met another representative from SMK Tenggaroh A..

At right ..Remy and Dayat

This is Daya..

At the right one, Sir Kamarul..

They were very funny..hehe

Reached KL Sentral about 4.15 am..

Had to wait outside because its operational time was 5.00 am.

It's okay and we had chatting and laughing together..

We also managed to online facebook for a while..

It's time to add Daya and others..

Prepare to perform Subuh prayer there..

Then,we had to wait there until 8.00 am.

From silent to loud..

People came and it was getting more and more crowded..

Around 8.30 am. ,we met other competitors yet started our journey..

School bus?haha..

Yup! Another school bus..Two buses had been chartered..

What a long journey to Perak..

Eating,drinking and sleeping along the journey..

We spent time to read Digital SLR magazines too..

Sir Razak also asked us about the rules in the photos we looked at..

Reached Adeline's Rest House with lorry..

(Technical problem with the date..haha..)

Very challenging..huhu..

We was given short briefing yet they gave us dorm to stay..

Food was prepared deliciously there..

The most special activity was, washing dishes..

We had to do it by our own..It's like living in hostel..haha..

Proceed to the activities as what written in the schedule..

Zhi Qin and Yi Pin as our facilitators..

From left: Yi Pin and next is Zhi Qin

I had problem in communications with them..
As they speak in english fluently..huhu

Guide this and that..

In a blink of and eye,

It's just saturday..(11th December).

Went to our foster family's house..(Apak Aden Kirip)

Introduced with them..

Took pictures and ate there..(Yum..yum..)

At Rafflesia's Hall,

VS was asked to join the Sewang..

A traditional dance of Semai people..

Hu.ha..hu..ha..(My face was getting in red..even Ayu and Nana too..)

Whatever..

Returned to main location..

Prepared for presentation about 5 hours there..

Generating the ideas was like generating the electricity in a jungle..

Maybe..

So hard and sometimes cannot..

We even did not eat dinner..

But,our presentations was like %$#@! ..

I felt so sad..and I could see..

Sir Razak was disappointed with our perfomance that night..

I knew,it was not the best from us..

But,at least..We had try to do the best..

On 12th December,

We took pictures in a crowded scene..

Could you ever been in a Tuna's can?? haha..

But,it's fun actually..

Also a memory for all of us..

Next,we had closing session..

Met our foster mom,Amek Wayus..

We had lunch together at Adeline's Villa..

Last moment with Asri..

Finished packing,we got into the lorry..

Then,took a bus back to KL Sentral..

Gone back to Johor with another bus..
It was chartered by Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri Johor..(JPNJ)..
We called it 'Bas Kenit' hehe..

As usual,talking,eating,drinking and sleeping..

Not to forget was watching movies..(MANTERA)

Our parents had waited at school to fetch us..

Went home about 11.30 pm..

That's the end..hehe

The lessons I have learnt is that,

1) Be a punctual person.

2)Always repair the broken english..haha..
3)Teamwork is the key to success.

4)To succeed,all we need is SACRIFICES..
