Reflection On Singapore Flyer

When I first learnt that there is an excursion to the Singapore Flyer, I was filled with excitement that I could not sleep on that night. When the day arrived, we had two way transports which fetch us to Marina where the Singapore Flyer was. When we were about a few meters before we reached there, I could see a round shape wheel which was common as the ferry wheel, I thought it was nothing but when we reached there, I was surprised that it was as tall as a high storey level buildings. So I was expecting that I would be having lots of fun during the ride in the capsule and appreciate the beautiful scenery of Singapore. We were found out that we were the first group to be taking the ride. Each of us was given a ticket in order to get us through the checkpoint and we made our way to the most exciting part of my life. But I was having butterflies in my stomach as my whole body is shaking with fear because this was the first time to take the ‘flight’ and it was so tall.
The place was big and covered with a small rainforest. There was also a mini-cave which allowed us to pass through and the rocks were as hard as the other stones that can be found in mountains. I could also see the capsule right in front of my eyes and the capsule is comfortable and cooling. I could hear small whispers of the birds and the sound of waterfalls coming down in very strong forces.
I had learnt that Singapore is getting richer and richer because of their economies growth and they had built so many buildings to satisfy the people to work on a good environment and there were trying to build more roads and factories to increase the economies growth. When during the ‘flight’, I was feeling a bit nervous as the capsule started to go higher but I had a spectacular view on the scenery of Singapore and I stared in wonderment because of Singapore cleanliness that I was proud in which they improved over the years. Inside the capsule, I could see many of my classmates taking photographs of Singapore and joking with some of my classmates and I could see that they were having a lot of fun while taking the ride. After the ride, I thought that I could take the ride for another round as I thought that the duration of the ride was short but it had met all my expectations at the Singapore Flyer.
I remembered a funny incident which happened to both of my classmates and my English teacher. As there were two of my classmates that had acrophobia, they quickly sat down without looking down of the capsule and another of my classmate told one of them that he was a girl and he quickly agreed with him which made some of us laugh as he was too afraid of height that he was sprouting nonsense. When we reached the maximum point of the ride, one of them was so afraid that he did not want anyone to touch him and told us if we touched him, he would throw us down from the capsule. Another thing happened was when we were descending, our teacher told us not to look up as we were able to see the female students shirts so she made many actions to tell them to cover their shirts and her actions made us laugh heartily. So if you ask me whether I want to go to the Flyer again, my answer will be definitely a ‘YES’. I think that the trip will be worth going for learning experiences and having fun with your friends or families. I would definitely tell my friends to go to the Flyer to have some experiences and have a better view on our island to show them how Singapore is progressing during the past and now. (670) words
