Sorry, this took some time to come!!! So busy lah...so here goes...
Day two started with qiyam...that was my first with MAI students...we woke up in the middle of the night...the senior boys took turns to become the Imam of the prayers...after that, we waited for the subuh prayers...
Then, if I remember correctly, they had some morning exercise n games...quite fun watching them play...(now I know how it looks from up there...watching the kids play)...after that was breakfast...my grp cooked some maggi n some milo, n while waiting, some of them had their baths...at first, we had to use the maggi packets as out stirrer...until our spoon n forks finally came...survival indeed!!!
Then came the fun part...amazing race!!! haha!!! It was cruel that the kids had to bring the luggage ard...luckily we teachers get to keep ours in any vehicle... the lady teachers all kept them in one fellow friend's car n she drove them back to school...so at least I'm empty handed n could carry the food n drinks for the kids...they were heavy...got a blister for that...but imagine the kids' sore legs n back after all the walks...anyway, while some groups decide to eat first, we decided we should move off...
First stop: Jurong East MRT station...as the kids realise that there's another grp with us...they said: We run...but teacher, u must run with us... haha I didn't...cos not everyone in the grp ran...there, they had to find where some buses go...n then do a stupid act...they had to crawl and shout for water...what in heavens do they think they're doing??!! Well, in the end the boys crawled n the girls shouted...what a scene!!! Luckily some of them covered their faces... I hid behind a pillar...
2nd Stop: Causeway point Banquet...had to find the total price of some food items...they did that in a blink...n then had to find something in some bag...which took fairly long...got their next clue...n it's off to Lala Land in the train...
3rd Stop: Fort Canning Hill...(I regretted choosing this location...didn't know they had to bring their luggages!!!) There, they onli had to find the place n take photo at some statue...the kids chose UNITY...as it had some links to our grp motto... some rested n had their 'karipap' while putting their heads together to crack the next code...
4th stop: Library @ Esplanade...Find some scripts and act out a scene... While they act, some did the dzuhur prayers...after that, we rushed back to school...by then we were only 15 mins to the end time limit...I can't walk anymore...so we took a bus to Bugis n changed buses to sch...jaywalked n reached school 10 minutes after the limit given...but hey! we were FIRST!
Cooking competition...hmm...we had the most boring dish...fishball soup!!! I can cook that ever since I was 10 or something!!! But without proper knives and ladles...the kids did extremely well...
Then it was some lecture where half the campers were asleep...can't blame them, the lecturer wasn't boring...but they were all superbly tired...even I couldn't help but to find a place to lean...
Blind folded games...where the waiting time turned into napping time for them...Then off they went to 'bed.'
Some photos... Think I'll post later...wanna go East Coast n haf Thanksgiving Dinner with my cuzzins!!! Haha...nope...it's cuzzin's day out...later yah!
