Mangrove CIP

Finally was able to go to the Pasir Ris mangrove swamp this morning with 305 for CIP after it was postponed two weeks ago due to inclement weather. Today's weather is cloudy, let's hope it will hold fine. The class was all excited about the trip and well-prepared for it.
It was an exhilarating experience learning about the different types of roots (pencil, kneed and prop roots)of the mangrove and the diversity of life in the mangrove swamp. Besides spotting many different birds and animals - kingfisher, dog-face snake, mudskipper, crabs etc, the pupils also did their part in preserving the mangrove by clearing pong pong seeds and other litter. It was definitely an enjoyable day well-spent bonding as a class and learning about the importance of conservation of the mangroves.

Camp fun

Too busy to blog - attended Sec 3 Adventure Camp at Safra Yishun last week. Had an exhilarating experience going on the Canopy Challenge Walk and abseiling from a high wall. It was sure frightening to walk along a wire 25 m above ground. I lost my balance twice and fell sitting on the wire in the second stage. I stood up again each time and finally managed to overcome my fear and complete the challenge. It was a great booster to my confidence and trust in God.

Blog for the New Year

In this New Year, I resolve to do my best in my endeavours and leave the rest to... I shall be faithful and leave the results to God.

Have always been fascinated with the rubik's cube and wanted to learn how to solve it. With help and encouragement from my dear daughter, I learnt to play and understand the algorithms in solving the rubik's cube. Now I can solve the cube by heart and just need to practise to improve my time to below 5 mins. Hooray one small achievement for 2009.
