ISA goes to Singapore…The students of International School Aamby had been to Singapore

for their Enrichment week this year. The city was simply stunning. Singa-pore gets its name from the Malay word ‘Singa’ meaning lion and ‘Pura’meaning city in Sanskrit. This old sea town as it was known earlier is amarvelous combination of architecture, culture, modern amenities andmouth watering dishes. The students had a lot to see and learn. They en-joyed themselves and have come back enriched and ready to take on thenext term.

Singapore Ecstasy!

We're going to Singapore, say what?! The news was welcome (obviously) but then there are two sides to every coin. While

most of us were busy packing and planning, some were sulking because of their passports, visas or IGCSE ICT' exams. Yet

on the day we departed from the ISA campus for the Chhatrapati Shivaji international airport, everyone waved and bid their

goodbyes. It was a happy sight. After a turbulence packed plane ride to Singapore, we checked in and rested at the hotel. In

the evening, we went to see some of the world's most fascinating species such as hippopotamus at the Singapore Night Sa-

fari. The next day was the city tour where we saw the amazingly juxtaposed land of new technology and old heritage

through the Singapore flyer, took pictures against the backdrop of the Merlion and visited the beautiful Marina Barrage. The

third day was something I was waiting for as it was the Universal Studios day! At the end of the extremely tiring day, we

went to experience something none of us had ever tried before, bungy ejecting! The exhilarating experience left us asking

for more of the adrenaline rush as we retired to the hotel for the night. While, day three was absolutely packed with screams

and action, day four was equally packed with action as we left for Sentosa. Water park, snorkeling, sky-ride and luge ride

were few of the things along with a dolphin show and an aquarium visit that we experienced. The end came with the spec-

tacular show, Songs of the Sea. Alas, we had to go back to the hotel and pack for home. The last day was spent souvenir

shopping and traveling to the airport. I truly enjoyed myself on this trip and I'm sure I did fall in love with the clean and

"fine" place that is Singapore.

The Night Safari was a ride I truly enjoyed.We saw animals from all parts of the world.One of my favourite animals was the AfricanLion. After that we watched a show that wasperformed by animals. It was fun and very

entertaining. The animals were so well trained. The little acts puttogether by each animal made the show worth remembering. Kudos to the trainers.

The second day of our trip had a lot of detailedsightseeing. Our first stop was at the SingaporeFlyer. The aerial view of the city was simply spec-tacular. After our ride in the giant Ferris wheelwe went to look at the Merlion. We clicked a lotof lovely pictures there. From there we moved onto have lunch at the City Mall. We spent ourevening at the marina Barrage. All in all, we had alovely day.

All of us are familiar with The Universal Studios,for those of you who aren’t , its one of the biggestand most entertaining group of theme parks in the world. So you can imagine our excite-ment . The fun we had there was above all expectations . Our gang of 8 boosted towardsthe major attraction, the transformers ride. After fighting the megatrons and posing withOptimus Prime we marched towards the mysterious world of the mummies, the heartthrobbing Egyptian roller coaster which we did 8 times , never declined in excitement.The water show was equally fascinating, we had goosebumps watching the show . Oh! andhow can I forget Naman, Arjan and myself, smartly went and sat on the SPLASH zone,and there we were completely drenched but we got the most fun out of it. Then the Juras-sic Park water ride ,added to the relaxing part of the trip. We witnessed some breath tak-ing shows there including the Monster Rock, The shrek 4D and not forgetting the Rock-fellas Dance . All of them had that “WOW” factor in them. We clicked a trillion picturesthere , as all of the settings of the different animated movies were so realistic thatit felt we were actually in the movie. It really felt like a dream world. In all , it wasone of the best times we spent in Singapore. Pranay Agrawal
