Kem Terumbu Karang P. Redang & P. Perhentian

Well, it's been a while since i last blogged..it's boring..it's another same Coral Reef Camp on two other islands. Same activities, same things happening..even i was getting bored.. didn't really prepare for anything for the camp...getting lazy..enjoying ourselves day before the camp.. but thankfully it went one ok and turned out pretty well...so the final leg of our Coral Reef Camps...Firstly, it was in Redang..quiet kids..not so much fun in the beginning but warmed up after that...

Dolphin group - Michelle-led group did a great job again..unfair!! always get noisy kids!!
and how many dolphin teams have you got since Tinggi???

Rine's group - jerung in a discussion with the team leader layan sms...no discipline! no wonder lost!
And the LI students watching as though i'm doing a magic show or something

Group photo..trying to do crazy shot..
but spot the one crazy fella from klang...shall not name names...

Time for the favourite camper awards..Presenting...HAZIQ!!

and Syikin!!!

Thank you Rine, Dean, Michelle, Md Alif, Kap, Abg Weh and En Zul (for good food, never ending food and great football company) and Ku (for saving the hamper during a stormy ride to the village. yes, some stuff for the kids hamper fell into the sea. it was a crazy storm..all got wet. but no photos taken..) and everyone else who helped out!!

Then we moved on to Perhentian Island..Man Ling's second home...

Group shot - the beach is so nice i could just lie down and sleep there under the sun
(just wanted to pose actually)

Great teamwork to dress up the dolphin mascot...dolphin again...guess whose group?anyone?

Besides teaching them about coral reefs, we also give them navy seals training (looks like)
the Marine Park staff are great over here! fun and just very helpful!

Kids acting to be Marine Park officers and some local tourist having a picnic on the beach..

And here, we present the camper of the day!! which is also my choice for the whole camp. Very fun cool guy who was very active and participative!! Great job Syafiq!!

However, This girl, dressed up to be Duyung, was great too!!or she's just cute in her mascot costume! But i'd still give her the best dressed moscot for the whole Camp series!!
Maya, she might take over your role in the future.

Most participative kids - SK P. Perhentian

Kem Terumbu Karang P. Tinggi & P. Sibu

The second and third camp - Pulau Tinggi (16-17 May 08)
& Pulau Sibu (20-21 May 08)
Like Tioman, It's been really FUN!!!

Tour to the Marine Park Centre in Pulau Tinggi -
the cool looking guy in the centre is Cikgu or Ustaz Ade (Ustaz tak jadi...)

Upon arriving at the jetty, these kids just came along and start shouting our names and helping us with the stuff (they remembered our names when we only met them for half an hour 3 months ago!)

The winning team - Todak!!!

Team Spongebob
(We asked what you find in the sea and a Std 1 guy said Spongebob and everyone voted for that! We couldn't disappoint them, can we?? btw, I know spongebob has a starfish friend but does spongebob live in the sea?)

Having fun with the kids before the closing dinner..
The guy on the left holding the coconut is very competitive!! Wasn't happy with my football skills, so he tackled me from behind, tripping me, with me landing on my knees on the "nice", field...both knees blue-black kau....

And..favourite camper for Pulau Tinggi...Azie!!!! (on the left)

Then, we moved to Pulau Sibu for the next camp...
This is getting even BETTER!!!

The winning team - Duyung
notice the sulky face of the mascot - forced to wear a bikini (not my fault, like i said to the group leader...Rosak anak orang....)

Team Starfish - very nice to do such big starfish!

Team Nemo

Time for the favourite camper again...Wani!!
no, not the big girl..she's overaged..I don't have any other photos of Wani. Anyway, she's one of my many sons and daughters in Pulau Sibu (the whole kampung knows that since they shout about it around the kampung)

And again, these camps will not happen without the help and support from other people. Thank you all so much for your efforts and support for all the camps!

Thank you Norm, Michelle, Dean and Iza for great support - Kenek for keeping all of us insane? Abg Lotfi, Azlan, Murad, Hamdan, Yasin, Ali, Awie, En. Zol and Zainal for bringing us around in the boat (Full respect to the boat crew - they sleep on the boat in rocky seas at nite to keep the boat safe!) Yana, Fa and Hong for helping out. BP volunteers, teachers from both schools and everyone else who was there and helped out some way or another (oh not to forget, Meme for being the other MU supporter during the champions league final!! Glory glory Man United!! That made this trip the best!).

Looking forward for Redang and Perhentian...

Kem Terumbu Karang Tioman 2008
