During this CCA meeting, we went hiking to the henderson waves and Telok blangah hill park. We brought our ponchos, food and a water bottle along with us. It was a rainy day and it was so much fun walking wearing our ponchos.

The hike was to help us attain the hiker's badge. Hiking is a form of exercise which keeps us healthy and walking is also environmentally friendly. We also made lots of friends within ourselves and got to know each other more. When we reached the henderson waves, some of us were very scared of the height we were standing on. We were 64.90 metres and more above sea level, as we walked on! We comforted each other and took care of ourselves out there. After admiring the greenery attached to the roads and taking pictures of it, We took crazy shots of ourselves.

After taking photos, we continued walking to our recess area. We went towards the terrace garden. We walked through the dense trees and plants which gave us a jungle feeling. We walked slowly and steadily, up the steep road. When we reached the terrace garden, we had our tasty lunch of bread or sandwiches.

self preparing food for recess!

The scenery was fabulous which looked exactly like a palace with staircases and flowers. It was time to go back to school. We arrranged ourselves in neat two rows and got on our way. We climbed and walked on steep steps and it was so much fun. When we had lots of fun, some accidents took place. Many people sliped and falled on the slipery ground. We started to become careful and walked slowly. When we walking on our way, revathi fell down and hurted herself badly. Mang Teng helped her and gave her first aid. They took her back to school so that she could rest in the sick bay.

Seeing this accident, we started to become even more careful of ourselves till we reached near the school. We had to only cross a zebra crossing and a traffic light road. When we stood at the zebra crossing road, Jessica and Mastura ran across the zebra crossing when others were standing and waiting for the car to go first. Mang teng scolded them because it was wrong and it was very dangerous. The car could have knocked them down and the teachers and the drivers could have got into trouble. We continued with the walking being more and more careful and reached the school successfully even though there were some accidents. We had some rest and gave ourselves some claps. After that we meeted outside 2E4 and sang some songs. Fun! After everyone including revathi had came, we sang taps and made our way to our classes. This was one of the most memorable hikes in my life!
