Rangers camp (mar 08)

Last Thursday was the start of my Rangers camp.I had to wake up at 7.00 am and at around 8.00 my brother and I arrived at Home TeamAdventure Center. First we had some camp briefing followed by devotion followed by some ice breaking games and played some tricky obstacle course. The first game was called 'blow wind blow '. I did not really enjoy the game because I find it a little childish. Next we had our lunch in the shed. We ate chicken rice which was delicious.
After lunch we had a bible study on the book of Ruth. In the evening we had a campfire. All of us sat around the big, glowing fire and sang songs and ate our dinner. After that we wentback to our bunks to bath. You know what, we played Netendo Wii after the wash-up! The game was fun and exciting. At about mid-night we went to sleep in our sleeping bags. What a long day.

May day outreach

Yesterday we went to Pulau Ubin with some homeschooling families, nature volunteers and a corporation called 'Intel'. This is my first visit there and I was looking forward to it. When we reached the island, I saw many bicycle shops along the sides and you can rent them at a very cheap price! I wished I could ride a bicycle too! However we took a van to Chek Jawa.

First we all gathered at a beautiful cottage and I saw some artists painting a mural on the wall. Next auntie November took us on a walk through the mangrove swamps. It was thrilling because I saw feedler crabs, mudskippers and mud lobsters and the nipah /"atap chee" tree! After that we headed back to the cottage where uncle Joe divided us into three groups for some activities. I chose to do the clean up at the mangroves. We were given gloves and thongs to pick the rubbish. It was fun for me, though at one time, my shoes got stuck in the mud and I thought I was going to sink! After the cleanup we went back to the cottage for lunch.

This trip was a nice experience for me. Hope to make another visit there when I am older, this time riding on my bike.
