Three of our team members were assigned to go on a trip to the University Of Malaya to take a look at their Rimba Ilmu (Botanical Garden) The selected team members who went with the teach advisor, Puan Yeo, were Chong Wei Theng, Chong Soo Sun and Uma Priya.
They went to the Rimba Ilmu in Puan Yeo's car. Because the members had not eaten their lunch and were basically starving at this point, Puan Yeo stopped at a certain restaurant with fammiliar golden arches, otherwise known as Mc' Donalds, whereby they satiated their hunger with takeaway burgers and fries in Puan Yeo's car because they were strapped for time.
Soon after they had finished eating, they arrived at the main building of the University Malaya's Rimba Ilmu and walked around the building searching for a kind-hearted soul who might lend them their assistance. They finally found a staff on the second floor who was more than happy to assist them and even gave a brief introduction to the Rimba Ilmu. He suggested that they write or contact the Malaysian Nature Society which organises nature-related trips based on the objectives of the trips the schools intended to have for the students. He then gave them some interesting brochures and flyers before showing them the way to the main entrance of the Rimba Ilmu located a stone's throw away.
They only had enough time to explore the herb garden. However, it was still worth the trip because they had the opportunity to see some unique and interesting plants which could rarely be found in Malaysia. Along the way, they took some pictures of the properly labeled and defined plants. The plants were obviously well-cared for as they were in pristine condition.
Despite the fact that the members only had enough time to explore the herb garden, they enjoyed themselves very much and are planning another trip to the beautiful Botanical garden soon with a larger group of students.
Feast your eyes on some of the pictures taken=)
ENJOY!!!
