recess trip

A trip during the recess week has been discussed for a long time. As I am totally innocent about the interests of Singapore, I just let the other classmates decide where we were going. When we finally got there, I for the first time knew the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Seen from a far place where we got off the bus, the Bukit Timah was just a small dark green hill. It is amazing that in such a small country there still exists a nature reserve.
We chose a trail instead of the main road as we hoped to explore the wild. However, we were cheated by the big map. From the map the part seemed to be quite a big place, but actually it was only a so tiny place that it didn't took us long to cover all the points on the map. You shouldn't expect a big thing in Singapore especially when you came from China. Anyway, we saw the little pond and the picnic point. We played in the picnic point as there were a lot of equipments even though they were intended for children. Some of us had real fun there, such as Hello.
The summit is an essential place for the climbers. After we finished our break we kept on climbing. Even it's a small hill, with the bag full of food, climbing still required a lot of energy. It was wet around us and the heavy pressure could be sensed, but it just wouldn't rain. What's worse, Walter had a little accident. Luckily Windy brought bandage with her and that helped Walter move on. We reached the summit before we knew it, because we had expected the journey to be longer. The 164-meter-high hill didn't give us much beautiful view as the hut on the top was surrounded by tall trees. After we began our lunch at the hut, something bad happened on me. Somehow I was not comfortable in my stomach so I had to run down the hill for the toilet. Fortunately I got some medicine from Hello and got better.
On the bus as we returned, most of us fell asleep. It is a watery but tired trip, but what matters is that we arranged this all by our own and it provides a precious chance to know each other better. Hope to have another recess week and such get together again. And hope everyone to be safe and comfortable the next time.
