that's what friends are for

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASPER AND JUNJIE!
We went for our geography field trip today.
I am sure many of you out there must be feeling JEALOUS!
Haha!
It's indeed a fun and enriching experience for all.
And all thanks to Ms Faith.
I guess we wouldn't have such field trip without her.
We went to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
Nature all around us.
I got back the feeling when we were in Ipoh's camp.

My station was Eco-designer station.
The groups were supposed to design a t-shirt using the materials we provided that is related t the environment or geography.
Teamwork, creativity, objectives were the criterias.

I like my station.
Before that we went to visit Syahida's and Ben's station.
We played on slide, ropes, pull up bars, and one very cool item just at our picnic area.
Its similar to those at west coast park.
It's like sitting on a round round thing, and its attached to a string on top.
You need to swing yourself and it will swing to the other side.
Ms faith tried on it too.
Haha.
There were also two little boys with their dad who came first then later around noon a caucasian man and his little boy came.
The boy was so adorable.
He sat with his dad.
I was thinking that the rope was really strong to withstand their weight.
Haha, and the boy kept waving to me while he swings past.
He is really very cute!

All young children likes me.
Hahaha.. i wonder why..

Actually our station is supposed to leave the materials on the table for the groups to use and design a t-shirt.
In the end we modified it ourselves.
We made use of our big surroundings.
We tied the drawing block and rafia string on the pole where the swing stood.
And hid the newspapers and magazines behind a little "hill" behind the swing, pink plastic bags under the little plant and markers wrapped in magazines under the table.
I was the one who went underneath the dirty and full of spider-web table to tape the materials under it.
In the end i got 5 mosquito bites.

Alright i think it's still worth it cause my classmates had really enjoyed the search.
Ms Faith praised us too! (:
Then we also decided to include the swing in our game.
Each group are supposed to send the tallest group member and swing over from one end to the other.
And when he reaches the other end the time will start.
They will be given 5 minutes to find all the materials and if they didn't manage to find the materials they will have to work using whatever materials they managed to find.

Later when every group had finished our station.
Mr chua came.
He told us that i think is Ben's that station is being "attacked" by monkeys.
Its like quite scary.
Then immediately after he told us about that, a monkey came.
Shazana and i ran away and Mr Chua went to take a picture of it and scare it away.
Haha.
He says when the monkey comes just walk up to them and they will run away.
If we runs away they will take advantage of it.
He asks us to shout if anything happens.

We waited for syahida and he said he was going to check on the other groups.
Syafinah also left and this is when the monkeys came.
One of the medium-size monkey came over to us.
Shazana and i quickly move away.
Leaving our box of markers and a big bag containing magazines, newspapers, plastic bags and stuff on the bench.
The monkey swiftly climbed up the table and looked into the plastic bag.
It was quite unexpected and scary and Shazana cried.
We also don't dare to scare the monkey away.
What if it turns aggressive?
It made a hole in the big plastic bag containing the stuff and took out the plastics.
Then realising there's no food inside it went and topple the box of markers.
And i shouted.
Or rather "screamed" for help.
It took so long for Syahida and Nisa to come down to us.

After that on the way back Shazana was terrified and paranoid.
Luckily i've recovered from shock and even taking pictures of the baby monkeys and the others.
Actually they look quite cute.
Especially the really really little ones.
They were plenty of them at Ben's station.

The monkeys were only out in the noon.
We didn't even see one of them in the morning when we reached the reserve.
Haha, maybe they were looking for lunch.

I saw squirrels too.

I think Mr Chua and Ms Faith are really nice teachers.
We are really lucky to have them as our teachers!
