Interesting Places to Visit | Wednesday, December 3, 2008
Dear Class 5/2,
Its the holidays and many of you are complaining that its boring.. Isn't it funny since just about one month ago you were all edging and anticipating the holidays? Weird huh? Guess thats how we Singaporeans are due to all the stress and competition.. We are a small country after all.. Small as we are, there are so many places to visit and enjoy.. With so much events and exhibitions going on especially during this holiday season, we must really be grateful Singapore is that small.. (Imagine having to travel from Kuala Lumpur to Melacca or Genting just to visit exhibitions; you wouldn't even go..)
