Finally... 10 days just brushed like that... the Asean Jamboree in Indonesia, gerakan pramuka amping ground, cibubur province, jakarta has ended... sweet memories, some bitter ones explain it all... you could say it is like eating grapes, because there are lots of grapes to eat but yet although sweet, there is a tinge of sourness...
Day 1
The journey took 3 hours due to the fact that we were stuck in jakarta's worst traffic jam ever--- the evening rush hour which can last for up to 40km... Late in the evening at about 6.30pm, we reached the campsite... it was nighttime in jakarta then, and the sun sets at 6pm every time... My patrol is patrol1 Blossom, named after the leader of the powerpuff girls(apparently we seems gay) and the other patrols are 1-4, the last one is Mojojojo... When we reached the campsite, visibility was poor for there are very little streetlights(so much for a green camp) and we were allocated the wrong campsite, thus we had to sleep in the kartini campsite(girls' camp). Packet food was given to us, but it was not enough, and that we were worried about the late providence of water supply... We had no other choice but to use a toilet belonging to girls.. the toilet is too far away and very dirty too... My patol members are Dongkun(PL), jun ren (APL), Wei Han, Sheikal, Huai Kang, Shi Quan, Eugene mui, john teoh, nassir and hidir and last but not least me!!!(SPL).
Day 2
We had to shift campsite to the boys campsite... The campsite was near empty and we only saw some malaysian scouts and a lot of indonesian scouts... we had breakfast ordered and deliered to us. We had to do camp development. We built our gateway, which was mostly bamboo poles amd some rafia string... nevertheless, as compared to ther countries our gateway was the most presentable...

Day 3
Yesterday we had a welcome night party... It was Indonesian Night to showcase the indonesian culture... there were a lot of hawkers there selling traditional indonesian cuisine... damn nice i tell you... most of them are fried... i like those tempura vegetables and goreng pisang best... yesterday had some troop leader meetings within our sub camps. Our sub-camp is SOKHA... each subcamp of the ten is named after some places located to sea from 10 Asean different countries... like for example there is Pattaya(thailand) and even Tanjong(Singapore). However, in Asean, there are some landlocked countries such as Laos...SOKHA SOKHA IS THE BEST Yesterday we met Bambang Susilo yudnoyuno who is the president of indonesia who declared the jamboree open. the Theme was "Wake Up" to wake up the scouts, wake up our younger generations, wake up indonesia, wake up ASEAN, wake up the world. he linked it to the current world financial crisis and also of the world's drastic environmental change. Today we went to sight seeing in Taman mini, which portays all the culture about indoesia, as you know, indonesia has 33 provinces, 50+ different cultures, over 200 dialects, and last but not least 234.6 million people... it has too many culture to show, and thus to get a brief details on the whole, taman mini is the most desired place... we went to seee the soldiery museum, mini bali, bird park and indonesia museum negara... in the bird park we taught a cockatoo to speak bad words...how funny do those birds mimic our words... We had a very nice lucnh with Balinese deserts...
indonesia has always been invaded by dutch and portugese in the past, but to no avail

Day 4
x we helped rover leader Wan Lin to set up her stall in the Asean cultural village... so far our patrol has been the best in both conduct and initiative... Through this i have learnt on how to decorate the booth and more about Scouting in Singapore, how it started and such... The booth also displayed an array of traditional toys that even other countries have seldom heard of, the chap-tek, the paer ball, guli guli etc etc... i have exchanged many scarves today... got a collection already... next time want to see i show you...

I would also like to express more gratitude to mdm for specially cooking for the contingent for that 10 days. I would also like to thank the other 3 SPLs namely, boon kiat, jing yang, and tian lai for showing me how to be an exceptional spl. Last but not least, I would like to thank my patrol for giving me support for the 10 days, although some said i have always been "showing off and arrogant" those days...
