Reflection

Mervyn: Botanic gardens Singapore is a wonderful place, fresh air ,beautiful plants and the colourful scenery. The best place that my group ever been to was the cool house where species of plant which lives in a cold environment lives... We've had seen colourful and mystical flowers in the mist house. The only sad feelings I had was the sight of only one Vanda miss Joaquin plant in the garden as the
others were being trimmed...
There is a saying:
There is dignity in suffering; nobility in pain; but failure is a salted wound, that burns and burns again. it shows the perseverance of oneself being one who cant do one does.
This was a great experience for the past few years as the botanic gardens has had changed through the years. Thank you for this wonderful trip.

Jin Kai: Botanical Gardens is the most fantastic nature reserve in Singapore. When I reached there in the morning, I could smell the fresh air and the morning dew. When I stroll past the swan lake, it’s the most beautiful scenery I ever seen. I saw a variety of flowers. Different colours and structures of the flowers makes the Botanical Garden more colourful. I liked the cool house because the place was remarkably cold and had a small waterfall to top it all off.

I was fascinated by the names of different species of flowers. Some flowers look alike in appearance but they were actually different species. It was a pity I didn't see our national flower Vanda Miss Joaquin as it had not bloom. I enjoyed taking photos of the flowers to keep as a mementos. I wish I can visit the Botanical Gardens again . Thank You!

Nashrulhaq(NasBregas): Botanical Gardens is truly a wonderous and intoxicating place. I was in an exuberant mood when we left school because I forgot to bring my tie and thus, lucky to escape from a scolding. It was an experience that had its lows and highs. Like when I was kicked out from my previous group without knowing it. Behind my calm facade, I felt betrayed and disheartened. Another is that we had to keep walking and walking in cold sweat as we headed to different locations, one after the other. The food price was proposterous and ludacris as it was too expensive that I was not able to buy anything. I enjoyed seeing all the flowers and I even saw with my own eyes a gigantic spider web. I felt like Indiana Jones. Some flowers were also fascinating and intriguing to look at. Some were beautiful while some were awkward. It was disappointing that I was not able to see Singapore's National Flower though. On the other hand, I enjoyed taking photos and especially enjoyed being in the Cool Room. It was very cold in there and it felt good to cool myself down in there. I even wanted to stay in there til it was time to head back to the rendezvous point. However, the time had come and so my group and I headed back. It had a great time and so did the others. I learnt alot from this experience and hope that such activities will be planned again. If the blog is not up to standard, my group and I wish to apologize as this was our, no my first time doing this. Thank you though. Ms Nada and the school, you have made me realize the beauty of nature and I no doubt the trip has totally been an eye-opener for me. Once again, thank you!!!
