I am back right now to continue to blog about Day Two. Are you ready? Let's go....
DAY TWO (14 June 2009)
A good night's sleep allowed all of us to wake up rather naturally before the stipulated time. I decided to seize an golden opportunity after saw the sunrise by taking a beautiful and best shot. I was mesmerised as the sun was rising slowly. I was rarely to see the sunrise in Singapore. =(
After taking photo of sunrise, we packed up our tents and stuffs and had a breakfast. I bet that you want to know how was my breakfast. Right?? Erm... Actually, it was bread with cheese and other with sardine. These Indonesia's food for our breakfast was damn delicious. I ate some of them. It was really melted warmly in my mouth. *Burp*
When we finished our breakfast, we were headed back to Agro Campsite by bus. It took for about 1/2 hour. We reached there finally.
After we settled down, we wore a life-jacket to get ready for mangrove reforestation as if we were warriors to save the earth and villagers too. Am I right? Lol... xD
Before we started doing mangrove reforestation, we were given a short briefing on how mangrove can benefit the earth, marine creatures and human being like us and the fact of mangrove. I admitted that her lecture made us feel sleepy but her lecture was quite interesting. =X
We heaved a sigh of relief after she finished her lecture. So we got ready to plant young mangroves and were supposed to plant them in straight, neat rows, with sufficient spacing in between them, but somehow, it doesn't turn out that way.
I prayed that all young mangroves that we planted will grow taller, healthy and stronger. I cannot imagine what young mangroves that we planted look like in 3 years' time. I really hope that COR will have a chance to go back in 2012 to see the mangroves. Some of my feeling that cannot be described. I don't know why... We are really proud that we have done our part to conserve them. It was really meaningful for us. Really... =) That's why I took some photos of young mangroves that we planted as a memories.
After we did mangrove reforestation, we went back to the tents and changed our new clothes. We had a lunch and then we got ready for coconut tree climbling. However, the coconut tree climbing had been postponed to Day Four due to unwelcome rain. Sigh... What a disappointment! But one of COR'09 members did not dampen our spirits by having simple yet fun games. The funny part during games was the 3 C-CUPians (Group C) did their infamous C-Cup action, bringing the whole hall into hilarious laughters. Lol... xD
After we played some simple games, we did split into 2 groups (HI and NTU) and discussed what we should put up performance for Appreciation Night.
After that, we had dinner. I think I should rate it 4 stars out of 5 as it was damn delicious. When we finished our dinner, we played game called Survival Hunt in pitch dark that we have to find clues and solve mystery. While our Group D waited for our turn, Jay Lee (LifeSmith instructor) told his terrible experiences of encountering g****. Actually, it sounded scary to me that I have to clinch Aloysius's arm. Lol... xD
When it was time for our turn for survival hunt, we did rush to solve the mystery. Actually, It was so easy to find clue that needed to head some of places.
After we finished our survival hunt, we took a nice shower. Then we went back to meeting place for briefing for Day 3 regarding safety of Mount Gunung Bintan and CIP at Muslim orphanage.
I really cannot wait for Day 3 as I love trekking at Mt Gunung Bintan. That's why I love adventure. =)
After that, we went back to tents to sleep. Again, I saw many beautiful stars in starry night sky and admired at them before I went to sleep. *zZzZz*
