Kiddy Magic

These kids are really good lah. I lovey them. All privileged kids to be able to come for this trip on their own pa-ma scholarships, but none has those kind of prince-princess's airs. All very sporting - braving cold waters, dirty mud, smelly specimens; bearing hours of long, tedious field-lab-microscope-computer work; help clear plates, wash tanks, boots, socks and still remain so chirpy, happy and polite! My god. I am super fortunate to be bringing such a quality batch here. No complaints at all (at least till now, which is already the 6th day of trip, so should be pretty reflective lah).

Hmmm, they reinvigorate me. Looking at them, I do feel young(er) again. =)

These 2 days, they have spent a great deal of effort on their group projects. All demonstrated true passion for whichever areas they chose to research on, from project planning to data collection, documentation & analysis, to report and ppt preparation. Very good, even for such a perfectionist like me, they have met and exceeded my expectations. [Perhaps, *hee hee*, this programme has been so well-planned that they are all super engaged in it, mutual contribution lah] =)

Anyways, tomorrow early in morning, we'd be leaving island for mainland for our 2D1N R&R. Go Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Queen Street Mall Shopping and South Banks Crafts Market. Should be quite a blast. =)

Take care u all, eat more and be bai(2) bai(2) pang(4) pang(4) like me now! =)
