My baby is back!

And she had lots of fun despite the minor complaints about sleeping in a tent! She enjoyed abseiling and tunnelling and she was lamenting about missing the Flying fox due to time constraint. She said bathing with cold water was not an issue as she had tried doing it at home a few days before the camp. She had also made a few new good friends from other classes and her group leader was not that annoying after all. Food was ok but as expected, she enjoyed the nasi lemak most because of the fried chicken wing! She is now looking forward to next year's camp, which may be held overseas. I am very happy that my prayers are answered and she is blessed with a great time at the camp. Check out her before and after camp face below!

Missing my baby...

Did she eat well today?
Did she enjoy the activities?
Did she get along well with her team mates?
Can she shower without water heater?
Can she sleep well tonight without air-conditioning in her sleeping bag? ( a big switch from her usual 18 degrees celsius temperature!)
Will she remember to put her sunblock and mosquito patch tomorrow?
Does she miss mummy and papa n didi?

I will only find out on Thursday evening. I am so glad I will be the one picking her up from school that day....

Tessa is off to camp!

My baby girl is all grown up ( last measured height of 141 cm!) and ready for her first camping trip! All the P4 girls from MGS will be attending a 3 day/ 2 night camp tomorrow, organised by the outward bound school where they will get to sleep in tree huts and tents! We packed her bag last night and here are some of the items in her bag.
Unfortunately, Tessa is not too excited about the camp. The students were assigned in groups randomly so she does not get to be in the same group as her classmates and she has an annoying group leader. She is also not too keen on some of the physical activities like abseiling. I think I made it worse by telling her how " aggressive" the mosquitoes were during my first camping trip! However, I assured her that it will be a fun experience, learning to work with different types of people and she will have more good friends in school after the camp. I am praying for good weather for girls and may all of them be blessed with a fun-filled session!
