Today
marked the start of a new project segment – building of the toilet. Some parts
of the toilet walls were built by a group of Singaporean youth who came here to
do their service project. However, they were unable to complete it in time. Our
team volunteered to finish with the remaining construction work. Ben and Waqiu
were told to help with covering the walls with plaster, a rather tedious task.
Of course, the two rovers weren’t really good at the plastering of walls at
first. Thankfully, Abang Lan, Abang Zamri and Azam helped by providing their
guidance. With that, they managed to complete about 90 percent of the
plastering for the toilet exterior at the end of the day. To top it off, the scotching
hot sun did not help too. Both Benjamin and Waqiu experienced back aches and
got sunburn. That night, Benjamin fell ill with a fever too, due to the hot
temperature which most rarely experienced in Singapore.

The team
also managed to get things going for painting of the pink house. Sijie, Kelvin
and Wei Yung started off with the white undercoat. This time, they learned from
their previous experiences and made quick work of it.

After a quick dinner, Kelvin and Wei Yung headed
off to the beach patrol at Telaga Papan, together with 4 other interns from a
Malaysian university. Unfortunately, it was an uneventful night, with the
sighting of only 1 turtle landing but not eggs were laid.
