Anyway, I had a shower...then went back to sleep in the hammock...yawn...
When I woke up again, bfast was prepared...or was that lunch? We had fried rice and cheese omellete...yummy...but not much though :( Finished up the bananas which were turning bad...yummy!!
Merey also prepared curd with banana, oreo and milo...2nd fear factor challenge!! Only hang chong, ryal and merey like it...hehe ;p
At abt 10 plus, a van came by to pick us up for the replanting work by the beach...who's gg replanting, who' gg mural painting?
In the end I went replanting since many r gg mural painting liao ;p In my rush, I forgot to bring my shades...damn!!
Anyway, the replanting goes this way...the plants were brought from the nursery, one used a 'cangkul' to dig a small hole...one placed the plants in the hole..the another removed the plastic that keeps the soil ard the plant put back in the hole, cover it...and it's done ;)
The plant was very torny..ouch..kept poking myself! I have a lot of scratches now ;p But we learnt to get poke less after a while ;p
Replanting team
The guy that was teaching us wat to do, Wasana...hmm how to spell his name...was really talkative...he's quite a buaya too...hehe ;p
Anyway, the kosgoda ppl seem to like to bring us ard to travel...a boat ride up...er...I think..Madu river...where there r 64 islands??!! Yest we were offered the same thing when we're at Capt Mendis's place..
At ard 12 plus, after we had brought all the 1500 plants we're supposed to replant from the nursery...we took a break...by then we have replanted more than half lah ;p
Wasana climbed up a coconut tree and got us plenty of coconuts! Alrite...good thing I ended up with the replanting grp...hehe...but that’s kinda our lunch for the day….
We finished replanting at abt 3pm...got back to the house..but we had no keys...luckily Sham, driver from a previous YEP trip, came by to pick up the fishing rod he requested...so we took his van down to the library to get the keys from zul...
Wow the mural is very nice! Can't wait to see how it's like when it's finished painting..
Mural-painting team
We came back to nua til abt 6pm...then went for a walk ard our place...we met aunty Kalyani who suggested we go visit her daughter's house which was submerged during the tsunami...
Wow ¾ of the one storey house was submerged…but it was pretty lucky that their house was protected by another building...so it was still pretty intact ;)
On the way there we saw a cinnamon oil factory too...
Destruction caused by the tsunami
Cinammon oil factoryFor dinner, we had macaroni with chicken, carrot n potato soup...plain but yummy ;D
After that, we had a meeting to brief each other on wat we did that day..
The mural painting grp will still have to go back to the library to touch up on the painting...
Then we had a briefing by Engwan on our new project...
We'll be doing the bed, shelf n milk project...with the tsunami victims who do not actually qualify to be considered IDP (internally displaced person)...as their houses/properties are partially destroyed...
So tom morning, we'll wake up at 7am, have bfast at the aunty Kalyani’s place...then go meet up with some monks to discuss on our bed, shelf project...no milk involved...
Then we'll probably start on our survey to determine how many familes will need the beds and/or shelves...
We had a discussion among our group after that...decided on how we want to conduct the survey...
In the end, we decided on a very simple one...just find out how many ppl in their household...and we'll probably give every household at least a bed and a shelf...maybe 2 sets if they really need them...make the rules simple...hopefully less complains ;)
After that...zzzzz
