Had bread with tuna or cheese spread, peanut butter and nutella for bfast...yumyum...then we cleaned up...
Oh ya...our water ran out all of a sudden last nite...hmm...where does the water come from? Found out today that there's a pump to fill the tank we get our water from...haha...aunty kalyani, the landlord, was surprised we din asked abt the water earlier...hehe
After a short meeting to brief us on today and the next few days proposed activities...we set off to the telecommunications tower to meet Lal who'll bring us to the library...
The library is a pretty small but tidy building...it's very dusty though...haven't been used for more than a month...a lot of weeds outside too....
So our first task was to help them clean up the place...with the help of a couple of kids...
We displaced a lot of the ecosystem there...hehe...spiders, millipedes, snails etc...we removed a lot of weeds too!!! Suddenly it looks more bare ard the library ;)
After the cleanup, we had a rest in the library...then when we're abt to leave for TCP for lunch...our lunch arrived at the library...goodie ;D
The lunch was pretty good...but spicy!
After lunch, we headed back home via the beach rd...hehe...but b4 we headed towards the beach...we stopped by some coconut trees at a Capt Mendis's house while zul tried to climb the tree to pluck the coconut...haha...but failed...oops
Walked passed the train station on the way back...cool station...hehe
Can u see me in the phone booth?
We walked along the beach near the water until hang chong spotted a turtle nesting site...btw section 5 and 6...after that, we saw more nesting sites and some body pits from the false crawl...
Then suddenly, wilson noticed dark clouds over the horizon and...hmm...it seems to be raining there liao...SPEED UP! Could see the dark clouds moving towards us but it din reached us...hmm...wonder where it went...
Actually later I found out it did rain…’cos the guys that went to buy bottled water had to take shelter somewhere…but it rained for a very short while only…prob that’s y I din notice the rain :p
Back at home we just nua...trying to come up with the perfect arrangement for sleeping tonite...such that everyone gets the fan...hehe
After an afternoon's nap...we had dinner prepared by aunty kalyani ...curry chicken, long beans and mixed vege containing carrots, celery and shallots...eew...celery...yuck :p but dinner was good in general ;)
We added tomato omellete as the tomatoes were turning bad...hehe...
After dinner, we prepared to set off to the beach for turtle watch...
Before we go to the beach, we stopped by at Capt Mendis's house again..hmm..they r having some ceremony there...inviting the spirits over...it's for prosperity...
Anyway, after a cup of tea, we left for the beach...
Everyone dressed up in black..as adviced by Dr Diong previously..hehe...dun wanna scare away the turtles ;)
We headed to the central hut where the TCP nest watchers meet-up...where we were briefed on wat the nest watchers do each day...
Then we splitted into 2 grps...and followed the separate pair of nest watchers...
We walked to the end of the TCP area...then sat down and waited for more than an hour...occasionally, the nest watchers will go for a short patrol....
Then we met up again at the central hut...stoned, looked at stars, dozed off...then we went for another round of patrol in the opposite direction...both grps switched directions...
Din see any turtles today...but we saw this guy with a sack...catching crabs...we saw a very big one!! But it's been killed by that guy...how long can that crab last?
At almost 3am...we started heading home...in darkness...guided with our torch...hehe...
Some showered...I didn't..just tied my hammock, lighted the mosquito coil...then zzzzz...
