GESL

Our group did our GESL project last week, which had dragon boat racing as the first activity. The weather held up throughout the 2 day 1 night camp, which was great. Very light drizzle as we were paddling.

The air that Kallang morning was slightly soggy, laden with a salty uncertainty. The smell of the sea, cold and churning with possibility. I know the sea and its horrible taste in the mouth, I know how it can make you free.On the second day we went to deliver food to some elderly living in flats in Toa Payoh, and cleaned a flat. I worked mostly in the kitchen, and found a bottle of rice vinegar that expired in 1988. I was 7 years old then.
