Havoc in Ulu Bendul, N9

I was not posting anything in my blog from 22-28 june last week was due to my absence in this online community. I have to attend the 2008 Malaysian wide Teaching Institute Uniform units Camporee (direct translation) also known as KAGUM Perkhemahan Unit Berunifom Institut-institut Perguruan Malaysia which was held in Hutan Lipur Ulu Bendul, Negeri Sembilan.

Before further reading, i would like to give acknowledgements to the photo's i'm posting which belongs to Aziliana of Institut Perguruan Gaya who is the outhor of all the pictures. She owns a Nikon DSLR and 90% of the pictures were taken by her. I am impressed on how she manage to capture moments. Sorry azie if you are reading this, but i like your style. Talking with her gave me some insight on what my other people think about photography. She says she wants to learn from me, she did... but i too learned something from her... hehehehe...

Good facial expresion portrayed by this woman, captured by with care from a Nikonian.

Winston with his bleeding head. Does it look real? The make up master really did a good job.
Aziliana or also known as azi/adexx

One of the unforgetable moments was the disaster control drill (is it called so?). We had around 20 acting rescuers, 20 acting victims and other acting officials... all played their part in making this act/drill a succes. What happened was we had to act as if there was an earthquake and landslide that caused injuries to a group of villagers. The Red Crescent Society was called for help.

We have to run few meters and report ourself on duty. There were victims placed unknown by the "director" with various kind of injuries. We had to search for them. There were also actors acting as family members who played their role is disturbing our rescue operation. I can tell you that although it was just an act, but it was damn tiring. My role was the head of the stretcher bearer team. Man, i tell you, if such disaster happens in your place... you really need a good and systematic approach in saving lives.

What i can tell is we have to ignore emotional influence and start our job by tagging victims according to the seriousnes of their injuries. Red as the most serious, black/ white as dead... either way, we had to purge our knowledge and skills in first aid... and it was tiring.

BBSM members, spot me if you can
One of the cool shoots by azi, did a bit of editing to make the effect stand out....
Bullet shots or? does it seems real?

They really were good actors during that day.
