Like Mike?

Yay! New template. Just seeing Mike makes me laugh.

I'm officially starting my Easter break today!! The last day of work yesterday was fun, we had a trip with the kiddies and parents to a Sai Kung campsite. One of the activities we had for the kiddies was to catch bugs and examine them with a magnifying glass. Gloves were distributed and the kiddies wholeheartedly got on their way to become bug catchers. Fortunately, I didn't have to participate in catching bugs. Unfortunately I became one of the designated plastic container holders, where the kiddies would dump their prized bugs into.

I'm actually quite proud that I survived the whole ordeal, thinking back. Me and creepy crawlies just do NOT mix. I became quite adept at opening the lid, dumping the bug, and closing the lid at lightning speed. The kiddies mainly caught a lot of ants, some spiders, beetles, and caterpillars. Someone even caught a cockroach! You just knew the kiddies were getting pro when some of them started catching flies, then moved on to toads (they bagged quite a few). The most awesome/scary catch of the day was a huge salamander/lizard (one of the daddies caught it). Don't worry, we freed all the little critters in the end.

The campsite had tons of facilities from badminton to karaoke. I managed to squeeze in a few rounds of arrows in the archery range. No bullseye, but didn't spear anyone with an arrow either;). Wanted to rock climb, was all strapped in already, but after I let all the kiddies go first, by the time it was my turn, it was time to go. Boooooooo, haven't rock climbed since middle school. Oh well, another time.

Other news, my brother is coming back in just over a week's time!! That was quick, year two done already. Is it just me? Or is time going by faster and faster. The church I used to go to in Canada (I started going ever since it began) is celebrating its 10th anniversary! Was it really 10 years ago? Yes, time is flying by. This holiday will fly by as well. So I must start cleaning up the room for my brother's return. It's filled with junk right now. Hopefully I won't bump into any creepy crawlies. I've had enough to last me a long, long while.
