Hi! My name is Zayd. I’m a student of SK USJ 20 in Subang Jaya and I’m taking UPSR this year.

I love to go on school trips. The last school trip I went on was in December 2009 just after school closed for the holidays. That was a great trip.

First of all, all my friends joined the excursion to Menara Kuala Lumpur, Orchid Garden and the best of all… Aquaria which was on Saturday 19 November 2009.

By 8.00 am, my friends and I were already waiting at the school for the buses. My teachers were there and more parents were sending their kids to the school.

Soon, we were all packing into the buses. I was so excited. When the bus was about to leave, I rushed to the window to wave my mom goodbye.

Off we went. The bus was soooo noisy I couldn’t hear myself talk. I usually get car-sick but not that day. We arrived at Menara Kuala Lumpur at around 9.30am. Menara Kuala Lumpur is so tall that I nearly fell backwards trying to look at it. We all took turns to go into the lift. It was a really long way up… When we arrived at the top, we were taken to the balcony and I got to look through the telescope. I saw all the small cars and lorries, the buildings far away, even the surrounding hills and mountains. Wow! The cars looked like ants.

After breakfast, off we went to Aquaria. The best part of Aquaria for me was the glass tunnel. It was like I was in the huge aquarium. Huge fish were swimming above and all around us. It was quite creepy, but in a fantastic fun way. There were sharks, manta-rays, eels and even small tiny little fish. The aquarium is so colourful and beautiful. I wish I could be one of the scuba divers who were feeding the fish.

Our last place to visit was the Orchid Garden. It is located near the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park in Lake Gardens. It was okay, I’m not so into flowers. But the place was cool and fresh. By that time, I was getting pretty tired anyway. After another snack in the gardens, we all filed into the buses and headed home.

It was really fun….
