Out of sudden, i just have the urge to blog..so, let me think what should i talk about in this post...ermmm...let's share about night duty.

Night Duty - a duty that is done in the night to ensure the safety of all trainees. It starts at 11.00 pm and ends at 5.30 am. It is divided into 3 shifts; 11.30pm-1.30am, 1.30am-3.30am and lastly 3.30am-5.30am. Basically, night duty is not a hard task at all. I am serious. You all might think that you must be awake all the time, or keep on patrolling the dormitories area. This assumption is so wrong. Most of the time, the trainees on duty will be in the bilik rehat. They will only patrol 2-3 times during their respective shift.

Ok, let's start about how night duty works. Firstly, at 11.00pm, all trainees who are on duty are required to report yourself at Bilik Rehat Jurulatih. There, the trainers in charge will brief us. After the brisk briefing, walkie talkies are given to the trainees, one for the wira and one the wirawati. And, then all trainees on duty return to their dorms to take along their stuff (pillows, blanket, Maggi Mee**popular item**, snacks,etc). Hah...one thing i forget to mention, all trainees on duty need to wear full celoreng! Lol..with the spike boots on for duty.

During my days there, I was on duty during the night for 3-4 times. And during these times, I had some enjoyable time and also unforgettable memories. Let me list them out.

1st time duty - I, Norain and Fiza fell asleep. Instead of patrolling for 3 times, we only did twice.
2nd time duty - I had a bad cough. I was coughing the whole night. So, i was asked to rest instead of patrolling. Thanks to Aina and Mira, for doing the patrolling.
3rd time duty - I think is with jessie this time. Lol. Diea accidentally changes the walkie talkie's channel. Can't reach the teacher in charge. I spent my time doing my cross stitch.

One more thing. The most unforgettable one. It was the time when Aina called all the trainees to wake up in the morning. It was so hilarious. I was laughing all the way when i was following behind her. This is what Aina's said:

"BANGUN, BANGUN,BANGUN! Masa tidur anda sudah tamat. Bangun pagi, gosok gigi, cuci muka dgn produk safi. Selagi anda tak bangun, selagi itu saya akan bercakap. Sembahyang sebelum anda disembahyangkan".

LOL.

Roughly, this is all about night duty :)

Ok, it has been very, very long since my last post. Haha..just that I don't have the mood to blog and after so long, I have the mood to blog about NS again. Hehehe...

My last post was about Integrasi and my post today will be about PPSB. PPSB stands for Program Penghayatan Sastera & Budaya. It is mainly a programme to learm more about the Malay literature, poetry, etc. For instance, sajak, syair, gurindam, pantun, seloka and lots more. So, a group of teachers from Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka to teach the different type of poetry in Malay.

We were generally divided into 3 major groups, namely Anafora, Metafora and Epikfora. Each group is required to come out with a presentation with one of the sajak in the list of sajak given by them. I was in Anafora, with my Serindit friends and also some of my friends. And because of this, when the teacher asked for Chinese to read sajak, my friends all called my name, In the end, I am chosen to read part of the sajak with another 2 of my Serindit friends, Wani and Azam.
At first, I was quite reluctant but after practising for long, I am ok with that. The sajak that was chosen by Anafora was Titisan Darah di Tanah Indah by A.Samad Said. Meanwhile, the other group members are involved in the choir, pantun, dancing, silat, etc. It is like all combine into one. It first started with the choir , followed by the sajak while the dancers dance, and later towards the end of the presentation, the pesilat will perform and finally end with 2 verse of pantun.

After 2 days of practise, we finally performed on stage in front of TKP and the other teachers. And guess what, ANAFORA was the champion for PPSB. Never did I expect that. I guess luck was by our side.
