dead tilapias in the symphony lake at botanic gardens

my regular sessions with my former students from balestier hill technical school started with our inaugural walk to the treetop. we then moved on to the canopy walk at kent ridge. the third walk took us to labrador park, in which we were joined by jennifer's sister. this fourth walk saw only five of us, jennifer being incapacitated because of her medical condition.

pastor phua see thiam drove. he picked seck yeong and her hubby outside jalan bumbong and then came to pick me from the bus-stop opposite 10th mile sheng siong. so, instead of three cars being used, we conserved energy and reduced pollution by car-pooling.

it was a worthwhile and an educational experience for all of us as we made a lot of discoveries and learnt a few new things along the way. but, there was one thing that puzzled us - the many dead tilapias floating in the symphony lake. could it be caused by the quality of the water? it seemed the fish had been starved of oxygen. however, the hardier fish like the aruan were not affected.

at the end of the walk, we replenished our burnt calories by having a light makan at the taman serasi food court. found out that the civil service card entitles you to a 10% discount at the food court.

our next walk on 22 september will be at the changi boardwalk.
