First Visit to Kem Millenium, Beranang

We hopped into our car at 11 am on 6 th January and rolled down the KESAS Highway towards Cheras and then onto the SILK Highway towards Semenyih. Believe me, it was tolls galore in all directions,no thanks to Samy Vellu. Ridiculous number of Touch and Go tapping before we finally arrived in Beranang. As usual, signage are bad and we did not make to camp on the first try.

After 1 hour and 22 minutes we arrived in the Visitors' carpark and made our way into the camp. I surrendered my IC and there was a bag check of things we brought. We finally got to meet our daughter all togged up in National Service attire, with a beret atop her head. My son remarked reactively that his sister has shrunk! "Not so," I replied as the attire she had on somehow has a "big"look about it.

Mother and daughter hugged and there were tears of happiness shed. After dispensing with the greetings, we got down to business. My wife told my daughter what were the things that we have brought her. Stories were exchanged.We then wandered around the dining hall, watching other parents and their children. It rained.

We then left at 3.30 pm. We reached PJ safely at 6.00 pm and went straight away for dinner. Then I received an SMS from my daughter informing me that I have left my IC at Kem Millenium. The authorities have given it to her for safe-keeping.

The next hour was spent at the SEAPARK Police Station in making a covering report of what transpired regarding my IC.

What a day!
