Friday Plant-A-Tree

In the library, we were given 5-6 younger children to take care of. We also received a name tag. The numbers on our name tags showed the number of the trees each of us was going to plant. Megan and I had the same 2 numbers (Trees 44 and 45) so we knew we were going to plant them together.

At Bukit Batok Reserve, I thought that it was going to be an easy thing ....seriously but when I lifted the shovel, it weighed a few kgs!!! I was real surprised!! Looking sideways, I could see that I was not the only one. Megan was also having trouble! Furthermore, her shovel was heavier than mine!!!! Putting the soil up the shovel made it even harder for us!!

After a long period of pants and puffs (it was quite short...it just seemed long ^^) we finally finished planting the trees!! After that long ordeal of putting the soil onto the plant, water it and flattening it with the shovel, we finally put the name tag on the plant. Ours were named "Eugenia dennis florida" (something like that) and do you know that the plant is also grown in our BTPS Learning Garden.

It was really (not sure how to describe it) ... many positive and wonderful feelings came at the same time inside me and I-want-to-go-again (that type of feeling). It was the 'bestest' of the best experiences! I just LOVED it!!!!!!!
