The Founders' is on 21st March. On this day, Hwa Chong Institution became 91 years old! To celebrate this, there was a dinner in the evening. However, on this day in this year is a Sunday. So, the students were not able to celebrate on the actual day. Thus, we celebrated this occasion on Wednesday, 24th March 2010. For the Secondary ones like myself, we went for beach for beach cleaning. My class and a few others went to East Coast Beach.
We arrived there and were given garbage bags to each groups. Everybody started going around the beach collecting all kinds of rubbish. I mainly picked up the common ones like cigarette butts and bottles. My classmate even found a SHIRT and a PANTS! How unbelievable is that! You can practically find anything at the beach. However, at the end of the day, I notice that there is seriously a LOT of rubbish at the beach. This is pretty scary as a beach is suppose to be a nice and relax place but after seeing all the rubbish, it could just ruin your mood. Overall, it was a pretty nice experience as it was my first time doing beach cleaning and there is a sense of achievement in me for the fact that I think I have done my part in cleaning the beach but I will do better if I ever go for beach cleaning again.
Cheers,
Jun Yi
