7 Interactors from Taiping gathered at the Taiping Train Station at 12
am. President Saw Cheng Hoe and PP Lim Peng Tong were also present to brief and send us off to our
destination. Before we left for Selangor, we had some food together with the
President and P. President opposite the train station. After eating, we waited
at the train station for the train to arrive. The train arrived at 1.20am, 20
minutes late from the stated departure time. It took a mere 6 hours for us to
arrive at KL Sentral. We had breakfast at
McDonalds later.
After breakfast we took the KMT to Batu Caves. There, we were picked up by the buses provided by the Organizers of the Conference at around 10am. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough space for all of us to sit on the bus, so we splitted up into 2 groups, one group sat in the bus while the other sat in the PP of the Rotary Club of Klang’s car.
After reaching our destination, we collected our luggages from the bus and headed to the main hall to register ourselves. After registering we had some tea at the main canteen. We mingled around and got to meet some new friends later on.

An hour later, we were given our keys to our chalets.
After leaving our luggage in our respective rooms, we were asked to assemble at
the main tent for a round of briefing by the organizers. We had lunch later.
Another round of briefing was given out. After the briefing, we had 2 round
games and a ‘Ice-breaking’ session. Later we were left to wonder around the
camp site and rest. Dinner was served at 7pm. After dinner, we listened to
talks given by the PP and Rotarians of Klang about
the environment and team leadership building. Everyone was later served with some snacks after the talks and later headed to back to the chalets for rest at 11pm.

We
were asked to wake up at 6.30am in the morning to prepare for the main opening
ceremony. Everyone dressed in their respective Interact uniforms and headed to
the tent for the ceremony. Breakfast was served at around 8am. Later we
gathered under the tent to wait for the District Governor and other VIPS to
arrive. After their arrival, we sang the Malaysian Anthem and the Interact
Anthem together. Each Interact club who attended the conference were later
introduced to everyone. The District Governor also gave a speech. After the
ceremony, we went back to our chalets to change to proper attire for the next
few events. After changing we gathered back at the tent
to listening to a few more talks. One of the talks were about the Student
Exchange program where one of the Interactors, Emil from Germany,
talked about his experiences staying in Malaysia. Everybody listened
attentively to his story. After the talks, lunch was served. After lunch we had
another set of outdoor games.
After
the outdoor games, we went back to the chalets to wash up. Everyone dressed to
the nines that night. Dinner was served at 7pm. We listened to another talk
about Self Discipline later on. Afterwards we had talenttime where everyone had
to perform in groups on stage. It was very entertaining. After talenttime we gathered around
the campfire built by the organizers. Some ran and sang too. Later we went back
to our chalets again to pack our backs because we were going to catch the early
train back.
