Save Our Waterfalls Campaign - 25 October 2009

I took part in this campaign organised by Waterfalls Survivors in conjuction with International Day of Climate Action with 2200 activities happening simulataneously on 25 Oct 2009 all over the world.

Kanching Waterfalls







With Ms. Joe Yap, the founder of Waterfall Survivors

Waterfall Survivors is a social group founded on Facebook by Joe Yap & her committee team. This campaign took place in Sg. Kanching Waterfalls in Rawang, Selangor. On that day, we have more than 300 volunteers coming together to clean-up the waterfalls area. Some are college students from Sunway College & international students from Sunway International School, other volunteers are from all walks of life. We started the day with a simple opening ceremony by YB (forgotten the name) & later all the volunteers are split into 4 groups with a leader. We have 4 different stations. I'm at Station B. Together with my group members we quickly pick-up all the rubbish at the Station. There were so many rubbish there, there were even more rubbish in other Station. It seems like the higher the station, there were even more rubbish. We took a lunch break at 12.30p.m & continue with the clean-up after that. By 1.30p.m, we formed a human chain to carry down all the rubbish bag. We took a long time to finish this - almost 1 hr plus & the end result - 500bags of rubbish. I can say that most of the rubbish bags are damn so heavy - filled with empty glass bottles & other heavy stuff.

But there's one thing that make me sad is that most of the general public are ignorant on what we are doing - they keep on throwing rubbish everywhere & some of them are not helping us. There were many people visiting the waterfalls on that day but they just don't be bothered. I think we need more education on caring & protecting our environment for the well-being of populations of the world.

350 - all the black colour bags behind us are full of rubbish...

Anyway, I feel so good able to help out / volunteer on this campaign on a Sunday. Thank you for all other volunteers to help out. It's great to see other people also care for the environment.

2010 Planning

It's already November 2009 - we'll be welcoming 2010 in less than 2 months now. So now it's time to do serious planning & setting goals/targets for 2010. Sometimes, we're too preoccupied in our daily life that we have forgotten what is our goals/target. We are easily distracted by those small little problems that is holding usback....Don't u think so? As i aged, I feel like I've changed...I can't tell you exactly what have changed but I feel that my priority change.....Health is now very important for me. What about you? Hmmm... back to serious planning now. Counting down to 2010...

2 time accident in November 2009

I've been involved in 2 accidents this November. Accident 1 (early November in my office compound) - I knocked into my own colleague's car & I got to pay the repair cost of the damage I've done to her car. Accident 2 (today at MRR2) - someone knocked my car from the back & some damage at the bonnet. This is more serious & the costs involved is more so we lodge a police report to claim insurance. But luckily, nobody was hurt - only damage to cars. Thank God....Need to pray more or maybe the fengshui not good enough. I've just change my sitting position in the office & so many incdents happened......Hmmm.....I gotta do something about it.

Air Asia Free Tickets Promotion

It's the time of the year for Air Aisa Free Tickets promotion again.......many people has been waiting for this promotion to plan their travel next year. Well, It's advance sale for travel from May 2010 to end of 2010. In my mind, I already planning for Bali in Jul/Aug 2010. Hopefully I can get free or cheap tickets. My next year travel plan is Conquering Mt. Kinabalu from 29 April 2010 - 3 May 2010 - CONFIRMED; Bali - Jul/Aug 2010 - PLANNING & Shanghai - Oct/Nov 2010 - PLANNING. Hopefully all my plan will be realised....

Expedition 2010 - Conquering Mt. Kinabalu

Everything has been finalised, we are going to conquer Mt. Kinabalu next year.....the date from 29 April 2009 - 3 May 2010. Flight has been booked, have paid 40% deposit for the package & now training starts. Our first group training was to Broga Hill, 8 of my team members went together. This is my 2nd attempt climbing Broga Hill. I still missed the sunrise coz by the time we almost reached the 1st peak, the sun already rise. The sun rise earlier now....Sigh!

I feel the climb is tougher for me this time, probably because my stamina not up to the par. But overall, it's a fun day outing with lots of photo taking sessions, we are all camwhores. ha ha. My first trip there also with lots of photos few months back with a different group of friends.
