Mukhayyam day-2

Second and final day.

3.30 AM (Hirasah time.)

Insyiraah, Ameera, Aisya and me woke up for Hirasah. Same goes to Yusof and three other boys.

We all gathered at the non-existing fire place at the benches where there sat Lao Shi Mohd and Teacher Fara. There, I saw buns, bread and biscuits. I took one bun and ate it.

“I love hirasah.” I said with a mouthful of choco bun.

“Do you love the activity or just the food they prepare at night?” Yusof asked me with a sly voice.

“Mostly the food.” I said with a giggle. He shook his head and looked away.

As we sat on the bench, we read surahs. Suddenly, my stomach ached. “Oh my god my stomach hurts like crazy.” I said.

“Maybe it’s because you didn’t wash your hands before eating. Besides, the tent was packed with sand on the floor.” Ameera said to me.

“Well whatever I did, I regret.” I said while hugging myself. As we were reading surah Asy-Syams, suddenly a dog came.

“Dog!” Shouted Yusof as he pointed to a figure in the distance. We all looked where he was pointing. Lao Shi Mohd grabbed a rubber whip and walked towards the dog. From the distance, we all could see what was happening.

Lao Shi Mohd wasn’t hitting the dog (at least that was what I saw… huhu.) He was just hitting the rubber whip on the ground to scare it away. After a while, Lao Shi came back carrying stuff in his hands.

When we arrived at us, I clearly saw what he was carrying; a mat and some food. One of the food was anchovies in a plastic.

“Ameera that’s our anchovies right?!” I whispered to Ameera.

“You’re right!!” Ameera whispered back.

“One of the girls’ group left these outside near the table. I think that’s why the dog came; it smelled the anchovies.” Lao Shi told us. Ameera and I didn’t tell Lao Shi that it was actually our mat and food. So, we just sat there quietly.

At 3.40 AM, all of us were told to go around the other groups’ tents for guarding. As I was doing so, I heard someone snoring from tent number 8 or 7. Aisya and I let out a giggle and teacher Fara said, “Don’t waste time.”

“Yes teacher.” I said, still giggling with Aisya.

After we had done walking around the other tents, we went searching for trash around the campsite.

“Why in the world don’t you guys just go and throw your rubbish in the bin nearby? It’s only like a few feet away!” I said.

“I know right?” Yusof said.

4.00 AM (End of hirasah.)

We finished our hirasah and went to wake up the next hirasah people. After doing so, Ameera, Insyiraah, Aisya and I went back to our tents. Ameera and Aisya went back to sleep while Insyiraah and I didn’t. The both of us would have loved to sleep but couldn’t.

“Oh my god Hana Humaira smells like coconuts.” Insyiraah said. “And it’s killing me.”

We both let out a silent laugh. “I’m serious Sister Nuha, she’s killing me with her smell.” Insyiraah told me.

“Well, we’ll just have to deal with it for one hour.” I told her.

And believe me, for that one whole hour, me and Insyiraah just had to bare the smell of sweat! We would often opened the tent to get fresh air but would later be caught by the other hirasah team.

“You two can stay awake but just please don’t make a sound okay?” Said Faiqah, one of the hirasah team. Insyiraah and I nodded and Faiqah left.

5.00 AM (End of all the hirasah.)

“Okay, time to wake up!” I told Insyiraah.

“Uhh finally!” Insyiraah cheered. “I can’t bare the smell anymore!”

At once, the both of us woke up the others. After we had done that, Insyiraah and I took our ablution and went to the hall for Qiyamullail and Subuh prayer.

However, in the hall, Insyiraah and I couldn’t even open our eyes! We were so sleepy compared to our condition in the tent! During Qiyamullail, in sujud, I could hear Insyiraah snoring!

After Qimullail, we waited for subuh. So, Insyiraah and I slept on the spot. When we woke up, we both felt so fresh.

8.00 AM (Breakfast.)

We had to cook our own breakfast too. Our group had French toast and scrambled eggs. It was delicious; until Najla and I found eggshells in the French toast.

After breakfast, we had to wash the dishes. But this time it was easier because not many stuff was used and burn.

Before we knew it, we had to go for obstacle run in the jungle. It was a heck of an activity. There were 10 obstacles and we did all of them I think. When we came back from the obstacle run, we straight away took water and packed our bags. We actually packed our bags before the run.

12.50 PM (Leaving time.)

All of us were back from the run and lined up according to camping teams. Team after team, went to take their bags and got into the bus.

When all of us were in the bus, the bus moved. In the bus, 50% of us slept right away.

1.50 PM (No place like school. J)

We arrived at school. I ran into the building where the air-conditioner was cooling up the room.

“Relieved to be here huh Nuha??” Syaima’ asked while smiling.

“Like yeah!!” I replied.

So guys, that was my camping for two days. In 2 weeks time, a new adventure will be experienced by me. So just wait, okay? ;)

Jzk!
