Recently, we had a trip to Sungei Buloh which was held on 12th June 2009. During the trip we saw a lot of things that we have never encountered in our busy life in the urban area. So, we took our time to appreciate the nature and took a lot of pictures of it. This is the main purpose of our trip and we even gave extra 1 DA of CE points for the submission of photos + 100 words.

Here are some of the pictures taken during the trip.
