Sungei Buloh LJ part 2

Hi guys,

Here are some really short videos. Enjoy!

A glimpse of the beatiful scenery....

Spotting two big mudskippers which were jumping at each other. They stopped just as there were the audience of us. Shy probably.

Sungei Buloh LJ

Dear class,

I had fun exploring Sungei Buloh yesterday! Even though we were greeted by a cool shower of rain in the morning, we managed to walk on the boardwalk trail and experience the lushful nature.

Having our snacks at one o the pavillions was my favourite part. What's yours?

And let's not forget our wonderful parents who came along with us. It sure made us feel safe as we know there are extra caring eyes to watch over us! THANKS!

Is that a puffer fish, Josh?

"Where arethe monitor lizards? We want to see them!"

In the theatrette...

While we wait patiently for the rain to stop...

Can you spot an eel here?

Yikes! Beware!

On the bridge...Hoping to see some wildlife... But we did see a SLIPPER! Hence,
MUDSLIPPER! *hahhaah*

Look! Mud crabs!

There's supposed to be a huge mudskipper somewhere...

Settling down for some snacks..

Artworks on the roof. Notice that?

Our friends truly enjoying their snacks in midst of nature. Gotcha!

Beautiful rain scenery on the way back.
