Week 4
Day 5

Free and easy day! I woke up at around 8 this morning. Took a bath and headed for the girl’s dormitory to complete our work.

We had cup noodles for lunch; it concluded our cup noodles stock. Time flew very fast and it was time to leave for the BBQ at 5. There was a funny happening here in the service apartment. Satish was looking at Hwee Ping’s program when he squashed Sasi’s luggage! Sasi quickly screamed Satish’s name and went to check out the condition of the Spongebob squarepants instead of her luggage! That really is the end of whatever happened in theafternoon.
I helped out by carrying the big pail of water from school to the BBQ pit which was just 2 blocks away. We went into this place that seemed to be an adventure learning centre. There were 4 dogs guarding this place; 3 big dogs with 1 small dog. The small dog was very cute but at the same time very protective of the guard house he was guarding. Guess who was the in-charge? The tiny puppy! There is a story behind it. 1 year ago, when the first batch of Ngee Ann students came in for this trip, they bought this little puppy as it was really cheap, but misfortune fell upon them as they could not bring it back to Singapore so they gave it to the caretaker of this adventure learning centre.

We went to a little park with cut down trees stumps design to set up our BBQ. They were really ill prepared as they did not have any fire-starters or anything that could start up a fire, so we had to use dried grass from the area as fuel to light it up. The start was really bad but the first fire sprang up after 45 minutes and soon the rest came alight too. It got really dark and the food that we had was just like satay and they had something that looked like mashmallows but it was actually man tou! As the food was mainly pork, we made our way to KFC to fill up our bellies. The restaurant really had its own style, whenever its near closing time even an hour before we cannot order what we wanted, but what is there left.

Getting well prepared is very important for everything that we do.
