a) Assembly
The excited kids assembled and some of them categorised their belongings as luggage which I agreed. They ran to me saying, "Is my bag, too big?" Teacher:"Not to worry, the bus will carry them. You will be ok!"
b) Arrival
We first went to the paddy field. We saw a farmer doing harvesting. The kids touch the grains and were amazed. Jian Wah asked, "can I have one of these to bring home?" The kids learnt that some types of grains included wheat, barley and rice. We saw the different so called tractors....haaaa.
Then, we visited Fern Section whereby we saw different types of ferns. They usually don't produce flowers.
Next, we went to the Mini Zoo whereby we saw a talkative parrot. Mr. Hoo greeted it with "Assalamualaikum" and it greeted back "Mualaikumsalam".....cute! There was also a shy red parrot. There were many pigeon holes with them flying above us. The kids ran up the small hill to visit the deers. They had labels on their ears to ease the workers do their job. Next, we visited a horse and 2 ponies. We saw their discharge ......haaa.....just like black round stones.
Then, we ventured to the mini Cactus Hill. Gosh, we felt like being in a desert.....Sahara to be precise. And the kids (boys and girls) were like cowboys; climbing with all their might. They were careful not to touch the cactuses and they stood on different rocks to post for photos! How exciting!
We also saw some fruit plants such as Dragonfruit. Yup, they need support to grow.
c) Our Chalets.
Pomegranate chose "Johor 2". By this time, the kids still had lots of energy to carry their luggages with our help. Wow! Then, we gathered at a mini hall next to the canteen. Some kids helped me to clean the table and arranged the chairs. Some swept the floor. Finally, the lunch came and the deliverers were Teacher Pik Xia and Hui Xin.
d) Station Games
We were divided into 4 teams, a mixture of both classes. We played 4 games. The Newspaper game, Rubberband game, Flour and candy game and also quizzes.
e) Swimming time!
Kids changed into their swimwears and boarded the bus to the swimming pool. Fun! Fun! Fun! Splashing, sharks, floating, diving and of course some kids tried to disturb and teach me as they know I am not good at swimming........I'm gonna miss them.....
f) Rest time.
After bathing, the kids put on their bedsheets and started dozing off. Some were still very chatty but finally the room was quiet.
g) Dinner time!
The kids woke up, marched to the canteen. Wow! So much delicious food. Vegetarian fried rice, fried mushrooms, mixed vegetables, potatoes, fried chicken and also "Yuyu" ice......yummy!
h) Strolling Time!
The kids gathered their torchlights and we lighted the way along the jungle path. We heard songs by crickets and could hear some monkeys' sound. Birds too. But it was only for 15 minutes, yet they had fun!
i) Games.
We played a few. "Do you know my name?", "Da Fong chui = Strong wind", "Tian Shan de ma ma", "Limbo Rock".
Guess what? The kids started dancing to music......I was SHOCKED......there was breakdance started by Wen Yue and Foo Soon, then Michael Jackson by Ze Yan and etc. I even taught the girls some waltz....haaaa!
j) Gifts Exchange.
The most awaited moment. Kids picked a number and received the gift. Some exchanged with their friends as they preferred something else. As for me, I received a BEN 10 watch from Jin nan and I shall treasure it. The funny thing is, Jin Nan too received mine. What a coincidence!
k) Good Night
I was so worried that the kids couldn't sleep as they might missed their homes.....but honestly, none of them mention anything. I told them a bedtime story of "The Princess and The Frog" and well, most of them has smiles on their faces before sleeping. In fact, someone had that dream theat night.......haaa. Of course, there was also a funny ghost dream......! They slept soundly....I guessed I was the one waking up almost every hour worrying about them......:)
l) Breakfast.
We had Milo and I took them out for exercises before eating Maggi Noodles. When the noodles were ready, we ate together.
m) Exploration
We explored the different gardens and crossed a small bridge. We continued and came upon a high bridge. Almost every kids climbed the bridge without fearing....wow! They saw the beautiful scenery from the top! Jin Shan asked me, "Why is there rubbish in the stream?"....well......Malaysians must really show good examples to their young ones!
n) The Winter House.
We were very lucky because it was just ready ...as if awaiting for us! Gee....it was so cold. The kids threw the snow as if they were snow balls. It was fun all the way!
o) Home Sweet Home
The kids doubled checked their luggages. Then, we boarded the bus and we reached ABC before 1 pm. I am pretty sur, the kids would have a great rest during the weekends! Have a great weekend!
