For me, this trip was a first in many ways. Not only the extremely early wake-up time (still a first), but more to the side of education. In the island, we learnt many interesting things about Singapore's waste management system and also saw countless marine life, small and large, all were there.
My knowledge before and after the trip is a world of difference to me. All of us departed the island with more then when we first stepped on its shores. Although the general public may brush aside these facts, it is important that Singapore learns to control is waste output, we cannot just keep repurposing such islands to dump ash.
Also, the variety of aquatic life is huge. Our short walk on the inter-tidal areas proved just that, seeing many starfish, sea cucumbers and other organisms, we were amazed at the number of species that such a small island could contain.
In conclusion, this trip was a visual and mental treat for me, a feast for the eyes and a bite for the brain.
