My Experience On The Singapore Flyer

"On the 7th of March 2008, did you all know that you all will be going on the Singapore Flyer? " said Mr Wong. The whole class was shocked to hear such great news. Since then, i became very excited about the field trip. Many people had great expectations of the Singapore Flyer. My expectation was to see the whole of Singapore if possible and maybe some parts of Indonesia and Malaysia. When we reached the location of the Singapore Flyer which was in the heart of the city, the building looked very modern and it has that smell of new paint. From my view, the Flyer looked huge and prominent. Despite the slight drizzle upon our arrival, nothing kept us away from this joyous occasion and the uproar of the students' chatter could be heard.

Before we went on the Flyer, the cacophony of the students' nervousness and excitedness could be heard during the security check. When we finally got into the capsule, we stared in wonderment as the capsule looked and modern and spick and span. Two of the students, Rasheed and Kenny had butterflies in their stomach as they were victims of Acrophobia. When the capsule finally reached it highest point, the scenic view was breath-taking and panoramic. One of the many landscapes that i saw was the Marina Reservoir which was pretty new and still under construction. The grass displayed a spread of cleaniness and smoothness of the grass which was almost identical to the grass on a golf course. The time allocated was just nice to see most of the famous landscapes in Singapore. If the flight was taken at night, the view would definitely be almost ten times better. Although my expectation of the ability to see the whole of Singapore was not met but the trip up to the flyer was definitely worth it.

In the capsule, many hilarious incidents occurred. The one worth mentioning was when Rasheed was so afraid that he was about to pee in his pants when the capsule reached the highest point. He didn't even dare to speak to us as he was afraid that we would do something to freak him out. It set most of the boys into laughter.

Out of this whole trip, it was definitely worth going. If i had the opportunity to go on it again, i definitely would and i would recommend to all my family and friends
