After about 15 minutes, we left the court and started the planting. Every class have several hibiscus plants to plant nest to the big drain at the stony car park beside the school. Each class are separated into different group. My group consist of 5 students - Me, Yon See Kee, Voon Zhi Chee, Tian Yeek Guan and Tommy Ho. We brought our own planting tools and gloves.
