Yes, tomorrow we’ll be celebrating the 3rd Annual Terrapin Independence Day! We’ve been planning and organizing the release for about 2 weeks now and everything is under control at the moment :)
We went to SK Mangkok, Setiu, two days ago to meet the Head Master to discuss some final matters and to put up our mobile exhibition.
And some students went to measure and weigh the terrapins at the net cages in Setiu River that we’re going to release tomorrow so that if we ever catch them again in future, we would have an idea how much they have grown. Some other student volunteers have arranged for games to be played with the younger students (aged 6 to 9) during the opening ceremony because we figured they won’t understand the speeches anyway.
The boat parade would be the most anticipated event this year because we’ve never had it in previous years. I can’t wait to see how creative and innovative the fishermen are :) Ouh, and we’ve decided to release 50 terrapins this year in conjunction with Malaysia’s 50 years of independence.
Will post an update when I return from Setiu tomorrow. Have a nice weekend, peeps :vodka:
Enjoy yourself! Have fun! And don’t cry, OK? Wuakkkaa
Terrapin Merdeka too? :-)
Bye bye!
Errhh Pelf, is terrapin “shui yu” in Chinese?
Mei Mei: Cry your head la! :D
Bernard: If we could, why couldn’t the terrapins? Heehee..
littlepolaris: Nope, “shui yu” refers to the softshell turtles, the most widely consumed turtles in China. The river terrapins, on the other hand, are hard-shelled.
Hey sis long time no hear…………
This year got delayed again? Is it because of those troublesome VIP again?
Eh I saw your Face on the newspaper yesterday.
littlebro: Yes la, VIPs la, who else? :)
Daniel: WOW, that’s quite a crude way of putting it. Anyway, yeah, the picture appeared on yesterday’s NST and today’s Utusan Malaysia.
