Oh ya...sri lanka is 2 hrs behind s'pore/m'sia...so that's 9am back home liao..first time I woke up so "late" since dunno when...
Had a shower, packed up, then we took the van out for bfast and grocery shopping...supposed to have bfast at KFC which is next to the supermarket...but KFC opens at 1030 :P
So we bought our approx 100 sing dollars worth of grocery which shld be enough for at least 2 days meals...and oh ya..we had a tub of Mars ice-cream for pre-bfast...haha
There's a little pharmacy there too...hehe...took a photo of it...just couldn't help it man...but the pharmacist there was rather reluctant to be included in the photo...hmm…wonder why…
From there we took a pretty long ride..abt 1 hr plus to our bfast place...most of us dozed off during the ride...hehe ;p
Our bfast consisted of an assortment of fried spicy stuff...hehe...must find out wat they r called...actually some of them can be found in our indian food stalls ;)
Then we continued our journey to kosgoda...we were along the beach most of the time...could see some ships stranded on the beach...most likely from the boxing day tsunami...
The house we r staying in is very nice..
We dump our stuff in the house...checked out wat we need to buy...then ryal, jacq, engwan, zul and I went out to buy the stuff...cooking utensils, pails and even a gas stove!
Meanwhile, the rest stayed back to clean up the place ;)
Today, we had our first fear factor challenge of trying the woodapple juice....eew...it's very sour...Reef seemed to enjoy it after the weird expression he gave after the first sip...hehe..so cute..
Later in the afternoon, we walked to the TCP (turtle conservation project) office...that's the only turtle grp that's officially recognised here...
We took more than half an hour to walk the 1km plus...hehe...'cos we kept stopping to take photos...tourist lah..haha ;p
We met Lal at the TCP office...who gave us a nice presentation on TCP...using his Toshiba laptop ;)
There have been quite a no. of green turtles laying eggs here recently...and next month we'll probably see a lot olive ridley turtles...woohoo!!!
The nest watchers...which r ppl who used to be poachers and are now trained to patrol the beach at night...works in 2 shifts...4pm to 12 midnight...and 12 to 8am...
We'll probably join them in the patrolling soon...not tonight lah ;p
We'll start with the library tomorrow...it's somewhere btw our house and TCP office...
After the mtg, we're all very hungry liao...last meal was like 8 hrs ago!
We still have to walk back home ;(
This time we walked back via the beach...wow...the beach is very very beautiful...and the wave's quite strong! There're a lot of nice seashells too ;D
We also saw a pretty big hermit crab...hehe...everyone suddenly crowded ard the crab to attempt to take a photo of it...haha..paparazzi attack!
Photo of the hermit crab taken by one of the paparazzi...unfortunately i dun have photo of the paparazzi surrounding the poor little hermit crab
When we finally reached home, we scrambled to cook...haha...hungry mah ;p
It was quite a mess in the kitchen...our chef were jasmine and ryal...who cooked us tomato n shallot omellete, sambal kangkong and spicy garlic eggplant...yummy...for dessert, merey whipped up a dish of papaya n avocado salad...yummy!!!
After dinner, we showered, played dai di, chilled out...then zzzzzz
