Bintama 2012 ; Sunday, April 8, 2012
I don't know how to explain this one. Bintama was really......... something, I'll tell you that. It was amazing, a real experience, one that I don't regret. People talk about bintama as if it were some kind of torture and the whole 6 days was going to be living hell, but it didn't turn out that way at all. At least to me it didn't. As I said before, I won't really get into details but I guess I'll share an overview of what went on over there.
Yes. It was fucking tiring. And to be honest I got tired of the constant meltdowns from the trainers. We had trainers there, or in Indonesian,
Pelatih. There were tons of rules, we always had to be quick, and on top of the trainers supervising us, we also had the OSIS seniors there. There was a lot of pressure, to be honest. And somehow, I don't know.........Since I was practically the only one in the dorm (actually not) to have a watch on me, I sort of became responsible for telling the time to the whole dorm+rounding everyone up when it was time to go. So I couldn't sleep in or so (not like we had time to urgh). But at times Salsa always covered up for me ;)
It was tiring because of all the activities. Makan komando, to be honest, I was already used to it. Makan komando is where they give you a certain amount of time to finish a whole meal. Ans by '
a certain amount of time' i mean...... really, really, limited amount of time. Even though I was already used to it at times it got really crazy.
And the constant pushes from the trainers. How we always had to be fast in our movements. Always had to keep a straight figure. Make neat lines when moving from one place to another. etc. etc. it was just
tiring.
One of the most memorable moments for me though: I killed a snake. AHAHAHAHAHA
I'm too lazy to type...........
But I'll just say-it was fun. Memorable. I did not regret it. And believe it or not I learned a couple of things or two from all that hardship, about character, discipline, and more.
