It was very fun at the Ecogarden, I wish I can go again. My mother also wants to go again because she wants to pick the red beads.
I am thinking of going there again because I feel like checking out the dinosaur exhibit hall.
I was very excited when I saw a turtle out of the pond. I was thinking to catch it but it was too far away.
I asked my mother to delete pictures because I wanted her to collect all the information.
did someone other than khai shuen write the'ckxuan' over there?
Wow! Looks like many of you enjoy the trip to the Eco-garden. It was too warm though. Otherwise, it would be even better. Glad to know many of you like nature.
Yukang, those red beads are saga seeds.
Guanyu, why didn't you find the trip interesting? Most of us including Nikki enjoyed ourselves. Where would you like to go?
If my brother went together with us he is going to melt, like an icecube!!Ha Ha!
Dear Miss Chua,
I enjoyed picking the saga seeds because it was lots of fun. Marcus said it was fun but he was so afraid of the ants on the ground and on the seeds. Ha ha !
Thank you Miss Chua for the food you prepared for us!
I did not pick the saga seeds but I felt it.
