On the 7th of March, our school brought the whole corhord of secondary three express and normal academic to the Singapore flyer at marina bay for a learning journey. As we were in the bus cater by the school, I was whirling in exciment when we were about to reach the Singapore flyer. We could see how tall the flyer was and can't wait to get on it. In the bus, I expectated the ride to be very high up that I can see the whole of Singapore. This is because it is said that Singapore flyer is about forty-two stories high. I also thought that there would be window for us to look down and hat will be extremely thrilling. As we reach the Singapore flyer, our whole class dash down the bus and quickly line up for the ticket. We were a bit disappointed that we have to wait for the ticket and a teacher explained what we should do. I think that that is very important as like this, we are prepare and know what to do in the capsule. Then when we receive our ticket, integrity one was the first one to get on the flyer. Upon reaching the Capsule, I was shock that it was so big and can fit more then twenty-eight person. We were very lucky that our principle followed us in the "flight" throughout the journey. Before the ride, I was very excited and nervous as I never been to such a high place.

As the capsule came, our group that our form teacher group us earlier on dash into the capsule as in it moving. We were all in cloud-nine as this is there first time doing such a thing with our class mate. As the capsule slowly close, we all grab a seat. Some of our class mate who can't wait stand up looking thought the glass. As we capsule slowly rises, we can slowly view beautiful scenery of marina bay. We can see places like "Merlion Park", "Singapore River", "Padang" and many more. When we reach the top, the scenery was fantastic .Every thing was miscues. It was as if they can't be touch or felt.

It was very exciting as we reach the top of the Singapore flyer. Looking down the capsule was very thrilling as it was like you were about to fall.I really enjoy the ride as it was as if i was flying.When i was at the top,the landscape that caught my eye was the padang.As I never been to it before but watch the national day parade on television.I was curious about it since then and today I finally close view on how it looks like.I that that there is ample time on the flyer as thirty mintes was enough to enjoy the senery,measure the volume of the capsule and group discussion.I think that we are lucky that we took the Singapore flyer in the morning as ther it wasn't too hot and just enough brightness to view the landscape.Opposite,if we has taken the ride on the Singapore flyer in the evening,that would been nothing much to see as everything would be pitch black.I was quite dissapointed as i could't see the whole of singapore although it was very high.

There were memorable moments like sitting in the capsule with our dearest principal and taking photos with her,expirence like this only comes once in a lifetime,not many people can have such chances, can they? It was hilarous when we used one of our classmate as a measuring instrument to roughly estimate the height of the calsule. Unfortunly, one of our classmate had acrophobia,his actions and expression had cause us to jerk at him , in a friendly way of course.

I think that this trip is worth going as it has not only bonded as a class but only learning in a fun and educational way. I will defitenely go for another "flight" if oppurnity pops ups again. Being in the capsule makes me feels top of the world and carefree,it feels like all my burden has been forgotten. I would recommmend the the Singapore Flyer to all my friends and family members because as a singaporean,we must be pround of Singapore's very own creation and award winning tourist attraction.
