For Parents:

Many of our parents grew up playing in "Long Kang" (A malay word for drain), catching fishes and tadpoles. However, this generation doesn't have such exposure and it is always good to relive the childhood experiences of our parents.

Each child was given a plastic container and a net to go fishing the 'Long Kang. It wasn't an easy task BUT they tried really really HARD to catch the fishes before they swam away. 3 cheers to all the children! Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurary!

The children were also given a farm tour by one of the guides. He showed to countless species of fishes in the farm and some species can fetch as high as a few thousands dollars. WOW!

It was indeed a different experience for the children, a step closer to Mother Nature!

Cheers,
Angeline
