Digestive Photos: Pulau Ubin Camping Trip
Date: 29/05/10 to 30/05/10

So we took the ferry and set foot on the 50s-60s facade island at the north-east of Singapore

The colourful Tua Pek Kong flags greeted us as there were some offerings going on in this kampong island

After we left our items back at the HSBC volunteer Centre, we marched on to Chek Jawa

After a long walk of around 30minutes, we finally reached our destination

I'm emoing

After Chek Jawa, we proceed on to our campsite(Jelutong), with the jackfruit that Kaiyan plucked during our way back

Pitching the eight-man-tent

A mini campfire that we set up

Burn with the companion of sweet potatoes

Filed cooking time!

Eat and cook...

Cook and eat...

Delicious spicy drumsticks!

I'm one of the chef!

Teamwork and bonding at work

Enjoying the foodies!

Back to the natural way of cooking

Playing with sparkles after our delicious dinner

The secretive and beautiful orangy moon that accompanied us throughout the night

Time for some card games!

Shiny stars that made the sky picturesque

Playing Monopoly Deal Cards while the rest fell into their dreamland

Ferry back to mainland Singapore after such a wonderful 18hours

Thanks and goodbye to Pulau Ubin for being such a great host!

Had formation outing today at Singapore Discovery Centre. We watched 2 movies, first was 3D Shrek 3 and then followed by 3D Sea Monster. Shrek was OK, but 3D Sea Monster was totally a sleeping beauty movie. Having a bad headache now and so tonight i'm gonna turn in early.

Finally, Singapore beat China in Table Tennis after 19 years to win the World Table Tennis Championship! I'm so elated when I saw the news and although it had nothing to do with me, but I am just patriotic towards my country! Some people may say that it is still a "China vs China" competition, and thus Singaporeans doesn't have to be proud about it. However, I beg to differ. In my opinion, I think that our forefathers also come from different parts of the world like China and India. They plant their roots in Singapore seeking for opportunities. And aren't all this current foreign talents are in the situation of our forefathers once in? Unless they decides to wipe off their backside, turn thier back on the opportunities that Singapore gave them and go back to their native countries, that I had nothing to say. But now, printed on their shirts are still the crescent and 5 stars.

Cheers~
