http://intranet.mssinet.gov.sg/nowcast/3dayotlk.htmA quick glance at the weather forecast tells us that it will rain on the class BBQ day! :( However, not even weather forecasts are accurate at times, so let's hope the sky would be clear for us to have fun on that day. (:
It's still safer to have a more elaborate rainy day plan in case it really rains on that day. Hmm.. water bombs make us wet, so I guess water bombing on a rainy day would be suitable, but of course we can still waterbomb on sunny days. Otherwise, I suggest that the class sits in a circle under a pavillion and tell horror stories. It's a rainy day after all, suitable ambience for sending chills down our spines! (Consider lighting up a campfire for more ambience, if possible.) (Might want to bring a portable mike and amplifier set too, but it might too bulky to carry to and fro.) (Or maybe just play some class games if all else fails.)
How to get to the site:-- Board the MRT to Bedok or Paya Lebar, then take a taxi to Bedok Jetty. Lol the taxi driver won't know where BBQ pit #57 is, so better say Bedok Jetty. (Believe me, its cheaper than taking a taxi all the way from your home, although it's more time consuming.)
-- Board a taxi in a group to share the costs.
-- By your parent's car.
-- There is no bus service that stops at the site. Although there is 401, it does not operate on weekdays. There are actually many bus services across ECP (East-Coast Parkway) near Bedok Jetty, but you can't cross the highway as there are no traffic lights and you can't fly across. I don't know if there are any overhead bridges though, so if you want to risk it, you can take buses 16, 31, 36, 43, 48, 196, 197, 135, 155 and 853. (We''ll not be responsible if you lose your way!)
Suggestions (No need to oblige, they're just suggestions!) :-- More food of the herbivore variety? x)
-- We bought an oil brush, but do remember the oil itself! (Or is it included in the food?)
-- Use styrofoam cups, as they are more environmentally friendly. Unless there is a recycling bin nearby.
-- Bring fans, to dissipate the smoke that might be produced from the BBQ.
Haha, they're just suggestions, so it's up to the class to decide whether they want to use them or not! :)
