PRE-RETREAT PREPARATION

Apart from work preparation, there's gonna be lots of food to bring over to Bintan!

Yesterday Aunt Grace went NTUC to do shopping for ingredients. At the end of her shopping trip, she came back with a trolley-ful of commodities! Rice, black fungus, vermicelli, spaghetti, canned tuna, salt, Milo packs, coffee and tea. In addition to these, we'll be bringing bread, butter, instant noodles, veggies and whatever snacks we want to eat. Choi Foong has also bought potato chips, groundnuts and prawn crackers for us to enjoy.

Accommodation-wise, we'll be putting up at Banyu Biru Villa. There are 2 in all, with 3 bedrooms in each villa. I will room with Li Ching and Choi Foong... and bringing my Doraemon UNO cards along in case anyone wants to play.

Aunt Grace has just returned from her 2nd shopping trip at NTUC. Once again, there's a whole load of stuff, like cabbage, mushrooms, chillies, egg tofu, onions, potatoes, tomatoes... seems as if we are going to camp over at some ulu place and afraid got no food! But Aunt Grace with 2 other staff from the students' care centre are all prepared to cook up a storm the next 2 days, so we'll get to savour whatever dishes they whip up with.

Going for make-up cell at Sis Kless' place later tonight... so still got 1-2 hours to do my stuff in office.

Packing for my trip shall begin only tonight. Will be back with photos of the trip! :)
