I am thankful that Singapore has freshwater for me to drink, lots of greenery and good public trasport systems.

Praying for Singapore

I pray that the people in Singapore will not smoke and that christians will tell others about Jesus.

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.

Our trip to Wild Wild Wet

Yesterday we went to Wild Wild Wet. On our way there we stopped by at IKEA, to have lunch. This place is very big and looked very nice. They have a wider variety of household things there. At the restaurant I ate seafood rings with fries. The rings were delicious especially when I dipped it into the mayonnaise. After our meal we drove to Wild Wild Wet!. Over there I tried the slides. They were very fun because it was very fast! We then went to the "Ulah lah" it was pretty scary when the float went down a steep slope but eventually the ride was smooth. Next we went to the "shiok" pool. This pool is like a little river where you can sit on a float that will bring you around. You will also come upon bubbles and steam in the pool. For the last 15 minutes we decided to"cycle the bicycle on the track". It was a bit frightening because of the height and you felt like falling off from it. In the evening, we showered and went home after a long day. I had a wonderful day.

sergamat mission trip

While it was still dark, all the cars gathered to meet at Bukit Panjang Plaza at 5.30am. Although my brothers and I had to wake up very early, but we were all in high spirits!

At Tuas checkpoint we were caught up in jam because of the terrriost, Mas Salmat. I was very bored so I tried to occupy myself by looking out of the window and tried to spot the other mission trippers cars.

After driving for an hour we arrived at Yong Peng for breakfast. At Anthoney's cafe, we had fishball noodles and some yummy pastries.

At about 11.45am , we arrived at the Golden Lake Hotel. I was very thrilled when I saw a connecting door that led to my friend Noah's room.

At around 2.00pm we left for the orphanage. Over there, the children lined up in a row to welcome us. We shook hands with them. Next we had some introduction of each other followed by some games. One of the game was passing the parcel. The game was fun because we got to know everyone better.

After the game we had some snacks provided by the orphanage.

At around 5.00pm we went to the park to play soccer.

The game was fun because it was my first time kicking the ball into a real goal post.

Before playing the game, we were first divided into two teams.

It was an exciting game for everyone ,however my team lost the game.

Discovery

About the flower crab

I find flower crabs very special to me because when the shell is too small, it will come out of its old shell, this is called moulting! How does it moult?

It grows a new shell which is still soft, puffs itself with water until its shell hardens and finally releases the water so that it will have more space to grow.

Soft shell crabs

Do you know that fisherman only catch the crab, when it is moulting? That's because its shell is soft at that time!

About the enemone peacock

The anemones peacock is one of the new marine creature I saw!
During high tide, its tentacles will open up, such that it looks like A flower.
