MY LAST HOLIDAY AT RANCAUPAS

I spent my last first term holiday with my friends at ‘Tim Film 40 Days in Europe’. We had a camp at Rancaupas on Saturday, January 9th 2016 until Monday, January 10th 2016. We went to Rancaupas by truck at 07.00 a.m. and arrived at 10.00 a.m. We felt so happy and excited about this event we called “Camping Ceria 40 Days”. We didn’t know anything at the moment. Anything. We were surprised when we saw our producer, Kang Maul was already on the spot. We were ordered by Kang Maul to make lines by group. I was at group two and I was the leader so i took position at the front. We were even more surprised when we knew that this was not the true meaning of “Camping Ceria”. This was not even “Camping Ceria”, this was “Camping Ceurik Ya” (at the end we called it like that, haha). All of our foods and beverages were taken, so did our electronic devices. We were left just with our mineral water and our clothes. We were  given three main rules :

1.       Don’t littering

2.       Always On-Time

3.       Don’t talk with your friends unless it was ordered to

The situation which was firstly felt so fun, suddenly became tense. We were ordered to build a tent in 20 minutes, and must get back in perfect line right after  that 20 minutes. We were ordered to do this and that in one minute, and it really  was exactly one minute. But all of this was not happen for no reason. Kang Maul had his own plan for us. We were sun burned for really a long time (almost all the day) to learn something really important for our journey to Europe, fighting spirit. The spirit that taught us to do something 100 percent always. The spirit taught us that nothing is impossible if we have willing to do it. And this camp prove that we really could do anything.

At noon, we were ordered to search some money for our dinner. If we didn’t get it, it meant we didn’t have anything for dinner. We worked hard for it. We washed dishes, We cleaned mushola and some places, for some money. We came back to basecamp at 15.15 a.m. and We were ordered to buy foods for dinner at a place we didn’t know. We had to search for the place by ourselves without talking to each other. We came back to the basecamp at 17.00 a.m. When the sun set, our producer and his team gave us Maghrib break to do pray and make fire. After break, we stood surrounding the fire and we were evaluated again. We were taught about fighting spirit, commitment, solidarity, and integrity, those four things were the most important thing that we learned from the camp at Rancaupas. The night became colder and we sat really close to each other. We were permitted  to cook our dinner at approximately 20.30 p.m. and ate it until 21.15 p.m. After that we sat back close to each other and we were ordered to share our story about things we sacrificed to join this team, 40 Days in Europe. The stories really touched me and made me thought that I hadn’t sacrifice anything for 40 Days. Actually, I had. I sacrificed something for this 40 Days. But i didn’t think that it was as hard as my team did. I learned something that there were always sacrifice for everything you do.
While we were sharing our story, 5 people from our team came to the camp. They came about 2.00 a.m. because they had they own priority before. Then, we were evaluated again. Kang Maul said that our journey to Europe is not just a game. It's TRUE, and we would face it soonly. We were being waked up back then. After a long  evaluation, we were ordered to write a letter for the future us at Zakopane, Polandia. What an amazing feeling i had.
Soon, Adzan Shubuh was heard by us. This is my first record for not sleeping with so many activities need so much energy. We hugged each other and made a promise that we would be in Zakopane, soon.
This was my priceless and memorable holiday in my life. :)
