The last week were rest and relax days for the kids. Monday saw Uncle SC bringing the troops for a lovely morning walk at the new Southern Ridges walk from Kent Ridge Park, through the brand new Henderson Wave bridge, Mount Faber ending at Vivio City. RM rode my micro-bicycle and loved it! This was my first time doing the beautiful and green 5km walk. It is certainly a must do.
We then proceeded to East Coast Park to have a swim at the beach. The girls were shy to go for a dip at first but with Aunt C diving in, they soon joined in. They commented the water is not so clear compared to Sihanoukville Cambodia, and looking at the numerous ships littering the horizon, the reason was obvious.
Tuesday saw Aunt E taking them out to the famous Singapore Zoological Gardens. She roped in her brother and sister (you can always count on family) to sponsor the tickets and the kids had a lovely time though 2 sheep got lost for a while.
The last day belonged to Mother LD who brought them to the Jurong Bird Park and Science Centre. There were fascinated with the different species especially a parrot who could "speak" 3 languages. The Science Centre with its amazing exhibitions also intrigued them no end and they finished off at the Omni Theatre with its real life 3D movie. Many complained they got a headache after that, and I don't blame them.
Wed evening also saw a debrief at Uncle J's lovely house (Bedok Methodist) followed by a sumptous dinner sponsored generously by him. The kids got back just past 10pm and it was hard to sleep for they had to get up at 3am for the airport, and were swarmed with visitors and goodbye calls.
With all the numerous and exciting activities, I'm not sure if they got much rest and relaxation the last 3 days but no one complained.

The Lord indeed is good! I am very happy to see their improvement in English and exposure to be independent. COSI has always a special place in my heart especially my 2 boys.... will be seeing them in December, Yippee! It is my prayer that these youths will continue to walk close to the Lord and grow up to be the next generation of leaders in Cambodia.
I share your prayer wish Chee Tham. Thanks for reading the blog. Do tell your friends about Project Tic Tac.
Perhaps it may come to your church next year!
