Post Number 3

Many people have had special times with their family. They might have a family outing, either overseas or local. I would like to share with you one of my favourite special times I had with my family.

It was 1st January 2010. It was New Year Day. Our family,together with my elder sister's boyfriend, planned a family outing. We planned to climb Mount Faber. Having climbed the small mountain before, I felt that it was not much of a challenge. I counted the steps while walking up. 180 steps! Walking from different facilities from the school to another was about the same! Half-way on our towards our second destination, we stopped for a small ice cream break. Our next destination was Henderson Waves. Henderson Waves was named due to the strucure of the place. It looked like waves crushing down onto the land. We took several photographs of the "waves" and not forgetting taking photographs of the whole family! We continued walking till we reached this place where there is a suspended bridge over a forest under us. Since none of us were scared of heights, we decided to continue with our journey. We learned about the origins of some plants. It was very educational for this part of the trip.

After finishing walking the suspended bridge, we continued to a place where farmers get their things for farming. We visited the glass house which was very much like a place for hydroponics but this is much colder. After the long walking and hiking, we decided to end our learning journey and have our lunch. We decided to take a cab to Vivo City to have our lunch.

An exciting day at Mount Faber helped us bond as a united and strong family. I hoped to have more of this type of outings so that our family and be as one. As long as we stay with each other, I believe that nothing can break us apart.
