AN INTERESTING EXCURSION
During the last Christmas holidays, a group of my classmates decided to have an excursion to
Johore Bahru. I was elected as the leader and so the burden of making arrangement for trip fell on
my shoulders.
We left early in the morning by the first Singapore-Johore express but reached the customes
checkpoint half an hour later. From the customs we went by chartered van to the Johore Bahru
seaside. As it was a clear sunny day we had decided to have a dip in the water. For nearly an hour
we enjoyed the bath much to our satisfaction.
By the time our sea-bath was over, it was about 9 a.m, and we had an appetising breakfast, with
sandwiches, cakes and coffee which we carried with us. Then we relaxed under a shady tree for a
while. Later we visited the zoo. We had some fun there with the monkeys in cages. Then we went
round the town for sight-seeing. By the time our sight-seeing was over, it was about 1 p.m. We had
sumptous lunch of chicken rice and returned home by bus.
