hello friends.. its been almost 4 weeks since i reported to INTAN Bukit Kiara for my DPA course.. a lot of things/activities have been done and my time were almost always full, its been a great time & experience nevertheless..

to start with.. on the very first that itself, after the registration program and taklimat and immediately after lunch, we went to the Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam (formerly known as Bukit Cerakah) in Shah Alam, for a 3 days-2 nights camping for a program called Group Integration - GI.. not so much of an outdoor/adventure man, i tried my very best to do all the required things in camping.. activites that we did during our stay there were:

• cooked our own dinner for the first day (in the rain..)
• jungle trekking in the night (some groups got lost, so we have to wait for them until around 3 am)
• explorace (2nd day - morning: running around Bukit Cerakah)
• tangkap ikan keli (just before lunch time with the blazing hot sun above our head.. seriously, i never thought i will one day got to do that.. wonderful experience)
• talentime (2nd day - night.. it was a great events - 1 show per group)

in short.. i enjoy the time there.. got to know new friends eventhough we were from the same batch..

on the 3rd day, we went back to INTAN and proceed with what they called as Urusan Pentadbiran.. this is the time that some of us (including myself) have to move to INTAN Jln Elmu, PJ.. before that they (the secretariat - UDPA) separates us into 6 groups called Sidang (Sidang A to Sidang F) and i’m in Sidang E.. so E & F have to move and stay at INTAN PJ for the time being..

our classes only started on the next monday (22nd Jan).. for the whole 2 weeks (until 2nd Feb) we have to attend the classes - Modul Pengurusan Sumber Manusia.. but its not only classes.. we have to organise programs in between.. and so we did.. 2 events were succesfully organised - Ceramah Maal Hijrah on 26th Jan, and Malam Seribu Bintang on 2nd Feb..

during the 3rd week.. we received our full scheduled.. my sidang started our external module with Modul Polis (Cheras), Sidang F with Modul Tentera (PULADA - Ulu Tiram) and Sidang A with OBS (Lumut).. we departed to every destination on 4th Feb (Sunday)..

at the Modul Polis, our schedules are also packed.. some of the times we have to skip our meals just to make sure that we are punctual.. unfortunately, that was not good enough.. the punishments for every mistakes are the same - push-up.. we were required to do at first 10 push-up but it may (and in most cases will) increased to 15 or 20.. of courselah.. who likes being punish right?

other than that.. i enjoyed my time there.. we have to be positive to survive this external modules.. all the kawads, PTs, and even the punishments - we just telan jer.. oh, we also learn how to shoot using Vektor SP1 pistol.. we did few practicals with empty casing and on friday morning we went to the Lapang Sasar, Markas Briged Tengah, PGA (Cheras) afor our shooting exams.. and i got 92 out of 100.. the highest score was 98 by Radin..

by the end of the module, there were 4 categories to be won..

1. Best Academic
2. Best Marching
3. Best Shooting
4. Overall Best

i had hope to win either Academic, Marching or Shooting.. but to my surprise i won the Overall Best.. yeay!!!

end of 4 weeks of activities.. for the next 2 weeks, i have internal modules (read as classes *sigh*).. and after that i will have the 2 external modules back-to-back.. 1 of it is the Modul Tentera *yeay*.. hehehehe..

ok friends.. till next time..

p/s: pictures will be upload later..
