Day 6- Moo Moo Jumps to Moon, Goat Goat jumps to well

Day 6:

Hey there readers :D ,

We’re here back again for your daily dosage of updates to cure your curiosity. As usual, today was a very fruitful day for the team. The day began as any other ordinary day as the team awoke to find themselves yet having another wonderful breakfast prepared for us at the Kak Tar’s House. However, the journey there looked dangerous as it started to drizzle a little along the way.

After that delicious and wondrous breakfast, the drizzle still hadn’t stopped and so we could not get to work on that final house that we were supposed to paint (SIAN!). Thus, we decided to head over to the school to start work on the mural. As we started to prepare the paint, we found out that a lot of the paints didn’t look like the ones we’d expected to arrive. For example, apparently the yellow that was chosen looked more like milky white than yellow. So we attempted to try to mix and match the base colours to try to obtain the desired colours. After awhile of painting the mural, half the team had to proceed on to paint the last house leaving behind Jason, Ming Xian, Ka Jun and Jia Wei to finish up the rest of the mural which went on quite well in the end. Especially when we had several supporters (Just the kids there actually) to give us motivation to do our best :D. Eventually we were able to finish up the mural by about 1pm plus and proceeded on for the lunch.

When the first group started to work on the mural, the rest of us made our way to the fifth house to paint it lime green with brown. This is by far our (mine too!) fastest painting! Oh, I forgot to mention the house only have three walls that require painting. Just as we about to eat our lunch, we heard a loud crash right behind us! Turning around, we started to hear cries of a baby lamb coming out from a well. Filled with curiosity, I rushed over with my camera and started snapping pictures of the lamb trapped inside! Abang Lan rushed in to carry the noisy lamb out. After lunch, we rushed back to our simple job and proceeded painting it. With the assistance of the first group, we completed it together at 1600hrs.

We made our way back to the pink house. Some of us took the incredible power nap for tonight’s patrol along the beach while the rest lazed around. At 1730hrs, Ka Jun, Jason, DK and Chow Wee prepared for their excavation of the turtle eggs! It has been six days and Gulin has yet to excavate any of his own turtles!

During the turtle nest excavation, Jason and DK managed to find some hatchlings which haven climbed out of their nests yet (Those slow cute buggers: D). One of the hatchlings that DK managed to rescue has a slight deformation in its left flipper and hence it tended to move in a very weird manner *they are still cute never the less*. The hatchling that Jason found was still stuck in it’s shell and after a long period of time the interns decided to help the hatchling break free to freedom as they were scared it might get too tired.

Finally we would like to end off with the usual Malay word of the day which is:

Sarapan - Breakfast

Signing off,

Calvin and Ka Jun
