Sec 4 ATF @ Pulau Ubin - 3rd Feb 2007

Dear all,

14 of our Sec 4 cadets went to Pulau Ubin for the Adventure Training Facilities Course and I believed they had a good time that day. The weather was cool and breezy and each one of them went through at least 5 obstacles such as the double flying fox!

As I took many many photos, it will take me very long to upload all of them... so keep a lookout!

Here are the group photos for a sneak preview... =)

Photo Gallery - Updated

The photo album is updated... please click on the link on the left!

Enjoy!

For those of you who were unable to join us for the outing, we went to East Coast Park for our outdoor cooking session...

To make it more exciting, we had a cooking competition! Each group was given a packet of maggi mee and 2 eggs and some other ingredients which they had to source from the teachers or CI and create a dish that will appear to be the most appetitizing to me and Mr Lee. We were very amazed at the 8 dishes that were churned out! Congrats to Group 4, 1 and 7 once again for winning!
