Day 1 Singapore to Kuching

Excitement and Anxiety
The pupils arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 2 at 4.15pm and were greeted by their respective teachers.

Mr Zaki giving a pre-trip brief. The parents of the Riverlites looked on and were assured that their children are in good hands.
The children were all excited but were listening attentively to Mr Zaki. For some, this would be their first time flying on a plane.

We boarded the plane at 1820hr and it took off on time at 1850hr.
The plane safely touched down in Kuching at 2005hr and we checked into Merdeka Hotel at around 2120hr.
Mr Zaki briefing the pupils and the parents

Mr Ismail giving a safety briefing to the pupils

Listen to what Jasmine has to say about the trip

Jiawang could not wait for the trip to start immediately

Check out the suites that our Riverlites will be staying in for the next 3 nights!! (Starring Sugu, Ernest, Gabriel and Hong Wei of Group 4)


Here they are lazing around in their bedroom

Chatting at the dining table

Lounging in the living area

They are all sound asleep now and getting ready for the next day. Will update the moment we are back. So, catch us on Day 2 of the Kuching Trip!

Hi Mr Jon & Teachers on the Kuching Trip,

I am Satya's mum. Hope the children are behaving themselves. It must be rather stressful to take such a big group of students on such trips! I am also very thankful for this site where I can get updates on what the group has been up to. Hope to see more photos today.

Hi Satya,we miss you, but hope you are having a good time.

We hope you are feeling better.
Hoping the sudden fever you encountered yesterday morning was simply the excitment towards the trip..we were in a dilemma but miraclously you bounce back in your usual active self just an hour before leaving, your determination in overcoming hurdles was proven again, we are proud of you. Take good care and enjoy yourself...enlarge your insight of the world and bring back new and thrilling experience to share wz Yurika & Sotaro..we all miss u lots. Thanks to all the teachers and may everyone has an enjoybale and enriching trip.
Love, Hiro,Esther,Yurika & Sotaro
