Family outing @ ubin

went to Ubin last saturday with my family to cycle... this was initiated by my dad and at first i was unwilling to go but in the end he was the one complaining that my mum dragged him along and he complained throughout the journey...haiz...he hasnt been exercising for decades thats why...

its was deepavali so... there's lots of indians... really alot... saw lots of things but too bad the tide at chek Jawa was high...so didnt get to see the wildlife there except crabs in the inner part of the mangroves... Got a really ugly tan and my skin is peeling off.... the weird thing is that im the only one that got a tan... lolx

Half way thro year 2 sem 1

I havent got the time to blog, and blogging didnt come into my mind even if i do had the time... lots of things have happened.

during recess week, i went for a jcrc pulau ubin 2D1N OBS camp. Tiring but fun. woke up very early for it and trade my study time for the experience. there were a total of 36 of us.

First adgenda was to mingle around wif the other halls pple (still in mainland) and next stop was at the punggol beach area. our task was to swim out into the sea to reach our boats and kayakt over to the pulau ubin OBS site which was just adjacent from where we started off. Did rockclimbing and some obstacles in the air. it was tiring but a great experience. After dinner, we hav this river crossing game. coordination was the key. The next dae, which was our last dae, we had a small expedition just around camp. We built two rafts to using poles, barrels and ropes. our task was to use those rafts that we bulit to row ourselves at sea back to camp. the tide us when we set off and the current was rather strong. i was sitting at the back so i didnt row, but i noe those guys that rowed, it was tough to control the raft. Despite that, of course we made it back to the camp, though our design of the raft wa not the ideal one, it was great working wif the pple.

my inner tighs itched and was stinging after camp... must be cos of the sea. thinking of the event reminds me of blackie. A stray black friendly dog that loves company. it kinda followed us wherever we went.

the photos are on fb... =)
