pelf-ism is contagious

They say, a picture paints a thousand words. I say, Pelfy cries a thousand liters.

It may sound a little ridiculous to some, but maybe not to the others who are used to seeing “1000+ unread items” in their feed readers, but I have just spent the last hour or so going through my RSS feeds and determining whether I would have time reading them while I’m in US.

I have not been reading those feeds religiously (like I used to) after Chinese New Year because if I could recall correctly, I haven’t been really free since then. I was offered a scholarship to for a turtle conservation training in the USA (what I’m going to do in the US), I passed my viva, and my turtle camps started on March 17th, and ended on April 4th.

Anyway, I have just very brutally reduced my list of RSS feeds because I have a feeling I might not be able to catch up with all the blogs, news and what-nots on a daily (or even weekly) basis. I am retaining only those feeds whose blogs I read AND comment. Actually, I find that I am reading too many blogs, without commenting, and that pretty much take up all my “online time”.

To those who still drop by despite the lack of content (I’m sure you realized my cutie pie sister had to help me ensure this blog was free of cobwebs), thank you very very much.

A couple of days ago, we looked at some amazing posters drawn by the participants of the turtle camps. Today, we’re going to look at some of the samples of turtle-related “artwork” that they made with plasticine

This has got two turtles, and both turtles have eyes like Ultraman, said my sister. It has got a polka-dot fish and two nudibranchs as well! It has also got a starfish, and a ray.

Seriously, I am not too sure if I’ve got that level of creativity in me!

The turtles made by this particular group looked nicer, more refined, and more REAL, right? You know why? Because the turtles weren’t made by the students! In fact, J made them for his group, and expectedly, students from other groups started pestering their facilitators to help them make turtles that looked nicer than those produced by J’s group.

Some students in my group even insisted that facilitators shouldn’t help their group because they thought it wasn’t fair. Actually, everybody just wanted to win so badly.

And whoever told the students that seahorses hold on to sea grasses THAT way?! Brilliant, aren’t they?

The naughty students in this particular group decided to make a man eating turtle eggs, so I told them this group wouldn’t win the plasticine competition. You should have just seen their faces! They all looked like they wanted to kill the person who contributed the idea!
