Jambori Kebudayaan - their first day

8th June 2010

I couldn't sleep last night thinking of the two girls out there..Our last communication was sms from Kakak telling that they stop by for dinner and wait until solat maghrib. Another 5 hours to go. I expect them to at least sms me when they arrived at Padang..rasa macam nak menangis..Until morning when I woke up, no sms from the girls. Yuli inform Adik ada sms around 11 pm bagi tahu lagi 2 jam..hmm ok la

Adik sms at 8.40 am to tell me that her eyes is swollen. Adik memang allergy to dust..have to call her to guide which medicine to take. 12.45pm Adik sms again to inform that her head just got hit by a lorry's side mirror..hah??

Kakak sms at 1.46 pm to tell me about her thing..hmm..advise her what to do..they are not used to the situation..this is what we call survival dear..they need me to guide them what to do..

Then only I found out that they reached Padang at 1 am, got to sleep at 2am and woke up at 4am. They overnite at a mosque actually. Not even have a chance to take a bath..mandi burung je..and didn't change their clothes..he he..told her that I didn't had the chance to take my bath during Haj at Mina for 3 days and didn't change my clothes also. But the situation is not the same..hmmm..just say few words to comfort them..another 5 days to go..Worried they ran out of phone battery coz seems no chance to charge their phone. Got to top up their credit on their first day
5.46 pm..kakak complain that why she feels that time moved very slow..I told her that she got to enjoy than only she feels time flies very fast..I know that they are very tired for not getting sufficient rest and still not used to the environment..Advised them to take medicine before going to sleep..and they know what to do coz we used to travel a lot. Our Europe vacation teach them a lot..in fact we have prepared them with supplements a week before this trip. Hope it helps..
Updates by them at 9pm, they still did not get the chance to wash their body..toilet always full..guide them from my own experience and how to adjust themselves with the situation..I enjoyed going for camping during my school time and uni life..they are just city girls and grew up in cyber life..hope they gain experience from this jambori and able to store an unforgetable memories and experience.

Update my husband their activities of the day..his simple comment was this is what we call survival..Men are just so simple..nothing to worry..please pray for the ye..

We pray the best for our girls and their friends..most of all, can adapt and adjust themselves with the environment. Hope for a better day esok dan hari seterusnya..

Missed the hug and kisses we used to do every night and girls lepak time before going to bed.. :-(
