Recycling Day at AMK!
Yes, from the title you all can see we (Myra and I) went for the recycling day yesterday at AMK! It was held at some other places too, but AMK was the main venue. (Whats more, we live near there!) So yes, here goes:
This is the Recycling Contest, in which the person/group/school who donated the MOST recyclable items (by weight) will win! And yes, so I happily brought like 10 cans and a stack of newspaper down, thinking it's quite alot already! BUT look at the school at the first place, oh my gosh, if you can see clearly, it says 1425kg (THATS ALOT!) i think it weighs more than 1000 times of what i brought. Shameful?
This is the Design-your-nicest-bag contest (not sure of the real title of this contest though). As you can see, you just have to design a bag and submit to them! and the winner has a prize too I think? Those bags, simple yet pretty! Whats more, there's a meaning behind these bags. Be environmental friendly, will you? :)
One of the booths we saw. We only took one photo and this is it. St Nicholas Girls' selling second hand soft toys, textbooks. Its sort of a flea market kinda thing. Myra and I went around other booths and had much fun. We played the games, talked to people and got to know "strangers" (hahaha) who told us where to take photos and discussed about games etc! For those games we played, we won 4 can drinks and an environmental friendly bag in total! :D
Then this is the colouring contest! Ahhh, so cute and pretty pretty :) Those are coloured by preschool kids! I dont think I can colour that well...
This is another colouring area? We didnt really watch what they were doing. All I know is that those kids (okay we cant see many in this photo) had alot of fun doing it!
Yes, and this is obviously a must have at any event relating to environment! The Recycling Bank! Beside this Recycling Bank was the collection area where they weigh your recyclable items etc. For my 10 cans, I got for ourselves two can drinks! So in totol, we had 6 can drinks and an environmental friendly bag! What a great deal :P
Anyway, while we were at the Recycling Bank discussing about the event, we saw this. Myra was disgusted (?) cos she felt it was so contradicting. Look at it carefully. The Recycling Bank was only beside it, so why do people throw their plastic bottles in the dustbin? Sigh. A question to ponder about mankind...
Finally, an overview of the event. There were really many people! We had to queue up for some time to play the games! At least this is a comforting thing. People actually do care about the environment. Wait, or... rather should I say, maybe some of them were there only to win the prizes?
Okay, last photo to end off the day. Despite the crowd, the disgusting sight (those in the dustbins!) we had tremendous fun and learnt much through this event. Lets all be environmental friendly, yeah?
Save the Earth!

some of us with our work:
danfong with her collage on han shan yuan's lessons
han shan yuan is a really humourous andknowledgable person. he told us about the history of singapore and also gave us insights into what exactly our forefathers had gone through to give us a more peaceful and prosperous singapore. i'm always inspired by how he uses analogies to represent some events in singapore history.
me and my "tree"
jiayi with her ppt on food recycling
we got to know more about food recycling when we attended the lesson by farheen mukri. shes a writer and editor of the nature society. her lesson was interesting as we played games about environment and also watched parts of "the inconvenient truth". i didnt know that singapore has a food recycling company and thus most of us were quite motivated to research on food recycling cos we are all guilty of wasting food!
quoquan and his mini skit (look at our focused faces! haha)
then we had our first playwright lesson. qingliang started by providing a short introduction of theatre from the roman theatre to shakespeare to asian theatre.
qingliang and us
hweepeng presenting on her group's views about what is theatre. (wow.. best speaker ah! hahas)
was rather confused when qingliang posed the quesion " whats the difference between drama and theatre?" HMMM.. we were split into 2 grps and both grps were like debating amongst each other. this question really tested my concept about drama and theatre. and eventually, qingliang enlightened us!! hahas.
really cute picture of us! (: qingliang asked us to look at the traffic outside the window and just observe and ponder on whether the cars actually told us a story. and i think it did. cos of the rhythm of the cars and its a rather beautiful sight. i think all of us usually wont like just stand there and look outside the window cos everyone is so busy. its a rather saddening thing... hahas
the lessons by huiling and qingliang were really fun ( as seen from chengyao's laughter)
then the week later we had our lessons at dramabox. we learnt Alkaz, Posil, Stoika ( prepare, process, stop) its like the basic skills that we have to know and its really tough. cos your body must have a certain energy and at the same time your body have to be disciplined enough and when you stop your body must be at a position as meutral as possible! phew... all of us were really trying our best to discipline our bodies!
chengyao preparing to show us his walk using alkaz, posil, stoika
danfong please pay attention during lesson!! haha.ok this is a really long post. but lastly, some of us (xuemei, jiayi, danfong, hweepeng, jiantong, huiling and i) went to emily hill to attend the launch of TTRP and went to see a show by the students from TTRP.
cool setting!
its like at the back of the building and the actors were acting on real soil using the real soil as part of their play. impressive (:

Talk by Jane Goodall
On 1 nov, Myra, Danfong and i went for the talk about Jane Goodall, founder of Jane Goodall Institute today! it was a rather entertaining talk with her sharing her stories about experiences with chimpanzees. we also learnt more about Roots and Shoots, a program of the Jane Goodall Institute, where youth of all ages are taking action to improve our world through service learning projects that promote care and concern for animals, the environment and the human community. for more info, click on the links below !
