Singapore Botanical Garden

Well , it has been a long day for me too ! I've been to Singapore botanical garden this morning with my friends . I'm now in one of the CCA in NUS , called Students against violation of the earth ( S.A.V.E ) . We are having an outing today as to bond everybody closer together. Well , photo says it all .




This is our group photo in front of the main gate of botanical garden. The garden itself is very big. .. i guess at least 1 half the size of hutan bandar. Amazingly , it is quite well-conserved and managed as you can see vast variety of species of plants inside. The girl in stripes colour shirt is Lucy , she's a vietnamese , just came back from Work and Travel USA program. She shared alot of experiences with me of her being in USA for 3 months. The other 2 girls ...i dunno them( you can figure why ) . Back row standing , the leftmost guy is called Nathan , also a vietnamese. He seems to get along well with me .. lol . He's quite a sosiable guy ( unlike the impression i have for ppl from vietnam) . He 's from Ho CHi Minh city and he told me alot about his country.. and i guess i have just got myself a tour guide if i want to travel vietnam. On my right is one of my good friend also , Jia wei , from KL . Beside him is david ( from SSI) and See hon from Yong peng. 2 of them had signed up for the Work and Travel USA with me .. hope we can go together this summer ! Haha , at last , his name is called Yi han , a singaporean. He's the Human Resource director of S.A.V.E , a very nice guy . He told me about his NS .. and how NS simulates their training base on the assumption : what if Malaysia attacks SIngapore .

Well , Nathan is communicating with the Swan !

Our group photo after our picnic ... Just snacks .. but they are kind ppl.. they prepare food for us to eat .. lol . We played freesbie and soccer there. The one holding ball called Danny .. also one of whom signed up WaT USA with me. Beside him is Shawn , a singaporean. Well , being environmentalist group , we didnt produce any non-biodegradable waste , nor we didn't use any plastic bags either. The place after we left was spotlessly clean.

This is the open air concert stage inside the botanical garden . Oh , did i mention the garden is just beside orchard road yet ? Never mind . This stage is somewhat called Shaw Foundation Symphony stage/stadium. There are no seats , just grass land for audiene to sit . There'll be free performances once a fortnight during evening/night.


Well , that's all for my outing today . Last but not least , i have this photo taken in one of NUS 's canteen's stall . I really laugh out loud when i see this ... Its either a typo OR they really meant it .. see it yourself to spot the odd.
