Chekjawa

Hey ya'll,
Been away for some time... My holidays have ended and I'm back in sch! Here are some updates...
On the 22nd of June...
My grandparents came back from their one month holiday from Melbourne. I know what you're thinkin H1N1... But they are back healthy and it's nearly been one week and everyone is in the pink.
On The 23rd of June
I did an Emceeing job for my school's Annual general meeting. It was fantastic! hahaha

I was blessed with a very supportive co-emcee. YAY! I didn't do as many obvious mistakes and I covered up one of my biggest mistakes. WEeeee... Here's a picture of the emcees...Randell and I
Me, Teachers.... will not name 'em.. Randell

Well... All in all.. I got great feedback and I aim to improve. Yeah man!
Today... The 27th of June..
My family and I went to Chekjawa. We paid for a guide to bring us down to the sand bank... It was spectacular.Here are some pictures

While on the boat I saw the water and it's movement... I liked it so I took a picture.. hehehe

The beautiful sunrise

We climbed up a tall tall tower and this was the view... nice huh... I felt very tall then...





We walked by some swamps and saw a lot of crabs... This was a bigger one that just sat on the rock... Sunbathing. WAHAHA... There were 15 of us there and we crowded round it so it didn't get any sun at all!
This is the Sea carpet. Very nice to touch. 7 years ago when we could freely roam Pualo Ubin, these sea carpets were scattered and seen at least 1 meter apart from each other. There were a lot that floated over and stayed on the beach. But today ( with all the construction and everything) we only saw one tiny carpet. *sigh* so sad. 7 years ago these carpets were at least 3 -5 times the size of this one. This one was a size of a palm.
The tide was at 0. So we could walk
Nice huh...
Did you know that there are two crabs that helped dig this hole. You can tell from the circular sand balls. The bigger darker sand balls are made from a crab that digs deeper into the sand. While the smaller sand balls are made from a crab that doesn't dig as far.. nearer the surface. Also. This crab tends to be very messy as compared to the one that digs deeper. As you can see the smaller sand balls are scattered everywhere. Whereas the bigger sand balls are only located around the hole that the crab has dug.
The one that digs deeper is called a soldier crab. While the other one is called a bubbling crab. CUTE!
Can you guess what this is actually?
This is an entrance that a worm has created. It retrieves seaweed and leaves.. etc.. and sticks 'em together with it's saliva ( if i remember correctly ) and covers its entrance. The worm was blackish brown in colour. Disgusting...
Do i need to say what this is?







Cute markings... These were found by the 'hunters'. They go out abt... 7 in the morning depending on the tide in search of sea creatures. This is a station. Cute huh.. I like... I found something! hahahaha.... Hilarious
Horseshoe crab... Don't eat it... Though it's edible.

Big Hermit crab...
Sand dollar
Find the sand dollar

Sea cucumber... edible...

Thunder crab... Hahaha... Found under rocks... If you see one don't touch it..

Egg sac... Very hard to find...
Sea hara... it's like a slug/snail... but it has no shell.... the next two pictures are the sea hara. the same type as the one in first picture. there are many layers then it opens up which is shown below....

After it separates for the sac..

Well... That's all for now folks.. Wish me luck for more emceeing jobs!

Past Weeks

Oh gosh... Time has passed by so fast. My term tests have finished... Half my holidays are over... and so is my church camp!
The church camp in Malacca was awesome. The speakers very good. Fabulous. Fantastic! And in the children's ministry God really moved. But overall... the camp was breath taking... hahaha... during the camp I also learnt how to play bridge. BRIDGE I TELL YOU!!! Totally Rad!
After the camp, the following Saturday, my cell group and I went to cycle at East Coast Park (ECP).. GOSH! We rented the bikes and cycled all the way to CHANGI! That was like... a 4 hours ride altogether! Here are some photos we took during the cycling outing.
