Greetings from Singapore! Yup.. I have officially relocated to the tiny island country down south since last Saturday.
Haven’t gotten my own Internet line up yet, haven’t gotten my iphone either.
Will be starting work next Monday though. Am using Jacq’s mobile broadband access right now to upload this way overdue post cause she’s out and I’m home alone wee..
I got an invite from Soo Lee to attend the Canon Goes Green tree-planting event the weekend just before I left. Waking up for it was NOT easy - it was supposed to start at 730am and I slept at 4am the night before. But it was a good thing I did, because it was a heckuva lot of fun!
An environmental marketing campaign by Canon (a pretty good effort too), the project kick started with a Katamari inspired website (with a cute catchy song) asking for the public to upload photos of anything related to nature or their love for it. For every photo uploaded, Canon will purchase a tree to be planted at the set date and time. Their target - 2,500 photos / trees, which was easily met - and was the amount of trees everyone planted that morning at the Kota Damansara field green lung.

See all those small leaves on each of the trees on that poster? They are all thumbprints from the attendees that day.

Soo Lee brought most of her homemade softies that day (in part cause she knew I appreciated them hehe). That’s me with Boo Bear and Bunny. Do check out the rest of her awfully cute toys at her blog.

I love playing with dirt..

Jason doesn’t apparently.. haha

Li Yi doing her part..

Forever Happee Soo Lee

EnvironMENTALS wannabes
After the planting, all 4 of us thought of taking part in one of their many activities there, so we joined this Eco Drum Circle thingie.. we were the 4 oldest people - signs that we are truly young at heart no? Hitting, shaking and thumping away at homemade percussions.. it was all strangely detachedly entertaining..

I had to sync my shaking with this dude. A can filled with seeds mind you..

L-R: Jason, Soo Lee, Li Yi & FoOie
A great event to close off my final weekend in Malaysia. It feels like I’ve left behind somewhat of a positive mark - in the form of around 5-6 young saplings, which I hope will grow tall and strong in the years ahead while I’m away..
