The BBQ on the 26th Dec

(blame Simon for the lack of photos! Gave him the camera to show off his skills and he came back with naught!)

Best Swimmer + best antics under water: Simon (Kudos! kudos!)
Best treasure hunter: Jeremy (cannot believe he got most of my Nippon coins!)
Best cook: Eugene -dogfish. Your cheese cake is NUMBER 1!
Best Blokus player: Ice and Catfish(never put these 2 together to play against you. You are guranteed to lose spectacularly if you do!) kai Yin is also gd!
Best card player: Qing kai

Had a lot of fun in the pool, the BBQ and the games session. Hope you had as great a time as me! Loved my present (thank u Catfish!), I practically shrieked when the lights went off on the pooh bear cup! Cool!

Hope you guys and gals like my present too, from henceforth, we should be bringing our own spork and plates to camps and outings. A little part goes a long way towards a greener environment with lesser waste. :)

The kayaking that took place on the 14/12/08

As usual, when we mixed sea water with wet bodies and young minds, the result is always hilarious and highly entertaining. We enjoyed a good 2 hours of rowing, saw Seletar island close up (looking forward to landing on the island on the 3rd Jan!), tried to form a 3-tier human pyramid. Well, I finally settled at 2-tier after many failed tries. Let's try this again next time!

May we succeed.

Final post on Japan!

I must say that Japan brings forth many, many fond memories, from the sceneries(every turn of your head is a post card scene!), food(hotdogs, the miso soup, the pearly rice...the bentos) to the drinks (banzais to hot Yuzu juice on a cold wintry day!), to the 13 cubs ( the daredevils, the snowmen, fluffy, pickies and the funnies) and 3 sea scouts (Ice, Clown and Saks), of course not forgetting Marcia and Wanling, my 2 efficient, supportive and wonderful leaders!

Even till now, I am still suffering from post-Japan syndrome. Hope there will be a time when I will visit Nippon again in such good companies!

Kudos to Manta Ray- Japan Camporee participants. Thank you for sharing this experience with me!

The story of Goldilocks and the 3 bears in Nippon

One fine day, Goldilocks decided to visit her Grandma in Nippon. She was mesmerized by the beautiful sights as she skipped along her way.

Of course, she knew that she had forgotten to bring her compass, so she was extra careful to leave bread crumps along the way. This way, she would be able to find her way back home.

Little does she know that she has an entourage of little birds which are trailing behind her.

Suddenly, she chanced upon a wooden house. She opened the door and entered........

First, she saw Papa bear in his big, hard chair.
Second, she saw Mama bear in "her" big, "soft" chair.

Finally, she saw "baby bear" in his small little chair.

Bears, being very social creatures, welcomed her into their abode and treated her to whey and curds.
