Sungei Buloh trip

Today, I went to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve with my classmates. Actually, I didn't feel like going as my leg was painful and I was "crippled". My mother asked me to bring the cookies and cakes that she had just made. I limped from home all the way to school. Then we took the bus all the way to Sungei Buloh. The bus was so slow that it took almost half an hour to reach there. I could see many cars which were faster than ours, even the other buses were faster. When we reached there, I limped again to the visitor centre and sat down to rest. All my friends were asking me the same question - what happened to my leg. I saw some small crabs and mudskippers over there, there was one mudskipper about 50 cm long. The guide told us the giant mudskipper was called the giant mudskipper. We proceeded on and saw some kingfishers on the way. We also saw some weird trees with weird names. One of the trees was called the Blind-Your-Eyes, the guide told us it might blind our eyes in some ways. Some of the trees had pencil roots which were roots that looked like pencils sticking out of the ground. They were to absorb oxygen and it could grow to another tree. When the little roots slowly grew into big ones, the original ones would eventually rot away.

The trip was a little boring and I don't think I want to go there again. There was once when I was standing on a wooden plank and didn't know there were ants until my leg itched.
