Yesterday 24 Jun 08, we went for a 1 night camping... It happens to be the National Family Day.. On the way to Pasir Ris Park, it starts to drizzle on a sunny day.. We were worried and told the Cab driver to alight us at Downtown East. Upon arrival at Downtown East, it was sunny. From Downtown East, we took a 5mins hike (a better term for camping) to Pasir Ris Park. Found a good location and begin to pitch our tent facing the beach... Oh, what a good view.. But the weather was very hot... then my wife smell something.. "Oh dear.. dog shit..." she exclaimed... Well no choice.. she insist of shifting the tent.. We shift to another location.. Our 6 men tent only got one opening.. and it was like an oven inside.. gosh.. Big Mistake.. I should buy a tent with 2 openings... but $20 for a second hand 6 men tent, it is a bargain and what more should i expect....?
Some of the activities: Played soccer with Marcus and Leia... My wife, Leia and Marcus went seashells picking.. Laze outside the tent.. PLayed beach ball...
For dinner i cooked:
Whip Potatoes with mushroom & onion gravy
Pasta in Cabonara Sauce
Pan Grilled Sizziling Honey Chicken Steak
Pan Grilled Sausages
For Supper my wife cook some instant noodle and Mushroom soup..
The washroom and toilet are free 24 hrs during the weekends.. But the night is sufferring.. cos it was so hot and humid.. no winds or sea breeze.... We have to shift our tent position hoping to catch some light breeze.. Any still hot.. Sleeping on our sleeping bags made it worst.. as sleeping bags are made to keep warm.. Oh boy, everyoen is complaining.. Marcus who complaint the most fall asleep first followed by Leia... Me and my wife just chat the night away.. but i do manage to catch some few hours of "suana" sleep.. Sweat all over...
The next morning.. we wake up everyone at 6.30am.. and dismentle everything and leave by 7am...
It was an enjoyable trip.. Execpt for the long hot sweaty night...... The main objective for this camping is to let the kids experience life in outdoor so that they will appreciate their own comfortable home..
