IYA, also known as International Youth Award, is a society in my school, in which I decided to join this term :) There are 3 awards, bronze, silver and gold. I am currently doing my bronze. There are 4 criteria, physical activity, expedition, service and skill. I've now completed my skills, with cooking, and my expedition, which is this camp. The physical activity remains another month before it is complete.
IYA Trial Expedition
This was a two day camp and was quite a short camp I have to admit. It was held in Gunung Dato Negeri Sembilan. The main event of this camp was the mountain hiking on the 2nd day, which is the last day. It was an easy climb up, but coming down was the problem, for it began raining, and the road became slippery. We were told that it will be a hard trail when coming down especially while raining. Some of us nearly lost our lives (this is true I m not making this up) but all managed to come back, though not unscathed, but safe and alive at least.
IYA Expedition
This camp was a 3 days camp, and was held in Kuala Woh Perak. This was a true expedition. We had to cook 3 meals, go through a harsh jungle trekking, group activities, river crossing, community service.
Day 1
We left KTJ at about 6 am. We arrived at Kuala Woh at about 10 am. We would have arrived earlier but we had to stop for breakfast. After we arrived, we were briefed of the rules and the area. Once we unpacked, we cooked lunch. Man it was nice. For once :P Then the afternoon activities began. We did some rotating activity. Lazy to explain. Then we had river crossing to cool down. It was fun :) The night came. We cooked dinner. Then that night we continued our activity from the afternoon. That night after briefed with sentry duty, I joined the night's sentry though it wasn't my night. I stayed up the whole night.
Day 2
We went for jungle trekking. Ahhhh!!!! it was tall. But still we made it. The sad thing was we had to come back and cook!! The afternoon activities was fun, we learned a few cooking skills. Then we went swimming in the river. There's where I got injured :P my tail bone got hit on some rocks in the river. That night's BBQ was terrible but we had a nice time. I did sentry again that night so in result I didn't sleep for 2 nights in a row.
Day 3
That day we only did the community service and went home. I picked up 4 people so they could get home faster. It was fun. We were joking in the car the whole way back :)
Both camps were fun, and with it ends my bronze expedition.
