went back to the junior school from monday to wednesday to help out Sir (thats what we call him), our primary school teacher.. he usually organises these "camps" for us to meet up with one another and to help out at the same time..

Monday
went to play badminton with Matthew and Sherman in the morning along with my brother.. then went back to pack my stuff.. called up Po Kiat, my neighbour and primary school classmate, and went together..
first up was uprooting the corn.. this time was much easier then the previous uprootings.. last time the roots were very deep, had to thug and thug.. also had to transport the soil too.. that was back-breaking.. but this time had only to get rid of the plants and whatever weeds that were there..

then it was the fish tanks.. took out everything, washed the tank inside out and rearrange it.. sounds simple, but its hard work.. all the dirt and algae reminded me when I used to rear fish.. its nice to watch the fishes swimming around, but the maintainance is alot..
me and zhi hong helped landscape the freshwater tank.. created like a valley with arches and a "waterfall".. the filtered water plainly coming out of the hose seemed boring, so we redesigned it..


Tuesday
today was all about fish tanks.. the other 2 marine fish tanks.. Sir wanted us to keep the water cause its actual seawater.. marine salt not cheap you know..
same procedure as the day before.. catch, remove, drain, move, wash, move, fill, add, arrange.. the filter was quite dirty.. the filter wool was a chocolate colour.. dunno how long it took to get rid of all the dirt to its white colour..

before & after

the local residents enjoying their clean new environment

Wednesday
departed with my ex-classmates.. other than when Sir calls us back, don't think we'll meet often.. it was a great 3 day experience with my friends.. guess this would probably be one of the last times..
