On the 5th - 7th October 2011, MRC UMAIF in collaboration with MRC MAB had organized Mahallah Training (MATRA) 2011 at Pulau Pangkor, Perak. This 3-day-2-night programme took it place right after the end-semester examination finished and about 70 participants and committees from UMAIF and MAB signed up. The theme, "Survival & Adventurous" remained intact with all circumstances through out the programme.
Settling in tents, taking bath by the shore, self-cooking, no lights but the fire; etc.. that really kind of survival, isn't it?? Roughly, we started our journey from CFS IIUM at 9 a.m and reached there at Pantai Teluk Nipah at 3 p.m. Settling down our things, unpacked, lunch, and started the Ice Breaking and Group Binding.. At night, there was a session with principals and fellows.
On the next day, we had jungle tracking at nearby jungle. SERIOUSLY! It was kinda tiring.. We started at about 10 a.m and ceased by 1 p.m. With the tiring body, we started to cook for lunch. At night, we had a night game, named, "Candle War Game". And right after that, we had barbecue which had been prepared by the committees and the participants. At 2 a.m (if not mistaken), there was raining cats and dogs. YES! It wet-ed all things, including the people in the tent.. =(
On the last day, we had an explorace. Kinda tough though. =) After that, closing ceremony, prize giving ceremony and depart to CFS IIUM.. OOPS! Before I forget, all participants and committees had not taken their bath because we were running of time. Plus, it was a "SURVIVAL & ADVENTUROUS" though. hihi. We bathed at the jetty.
These are some photos taken there. ENJOY!

Alhamdulillah.. With the cooperation from all committees and participants, MATRA 2011 was a success. We hope that students in the CFS IIUM would participate in any activities organized in and out of the campus. With the blessing from Allah, we are looking forward to such activities to be organized in the near future. InsyaAllah..
