Woodlands Waterfront

 On wednesday, 28 September 2011, the school had arranged for all the Secondary 1 classes to do a CIP event at Woodlands Waterfront. We were supposed to go there and pick up the litter there. At first, when i heard about it, i was very confused as according to me, the Woodlands Waterfront was a very clean place. The school informed us that we had to walk all the way from school to the venue stated. All of us were very surprised when we heard that as the Woodlands Waterfront is quite far away from our school.


 After school, we had 15 minutes to grab a bite before assembling to start our journey to Woodlands Waterfront. At 3 pm, we assembled at the quadrangle. After a headcount, the teacher in charge started releasing the classes. When our class was released, we started walking towards our destination, being led by our teachers. On our way to the Waterfront, Jun Jia, Joanna and I kept shouting at slow-walking pupils to speed up so that we could reach the venue faster. After a long distance, we reached our destination. After a quick class photo, we collected our recycling bags. We then proceeded to the area assigned to us to clear. We then split up into groups and went around clearing rubbish such as glass pieces and cigarette buds.


After around 30 mins, we went to Mr Poh, who then told us to tie up the plastic bags. We then proceeded to the playground. Mr Poh gave us permission to purchase drinks from the vending machine. However, many of us were extremely tired and sat down to rest. Some of the boys who were very excited even went and played in the playground. I was truely amazed at their vitality. After 50 mins, we were dismissed and we made our way back to school.


Upon reaching school, Mr Poh gave us permission to be dismissed after ensuring that all of us were present. I then dragged my tired and lifeless body back home.
