OK, so its been 3 months since the last blog post. Indeed, there has been quite a bit of activity, especially on TheGreenBush’s Twitter Account. I had never thought I would have been a fan of New Media, but it can be quite addictive… and also quite useful. Its increasingly becoming an important part of work and play. Here’s a slice of some highlights (related to the environment scene in Singapore).
1) Satu Hari Di Hari Raya

3) The HAZE cometh… again!
In terms of catching a flight back to Singapore, turned out that Paris strikes was not the only thing to be anxious about.
Au Revoir Paris strikes, Hello #Singapore Haze. #fb—

Great conversation, and so looking forward to working with Olivia on a Green Drinks session on spirituality. Akan datang!
A lot more to look forward to and definitely a life that is far from boring. Kids who suggest that they don’t have anything to look forward to in Singapore, or are just so fixated on grades, clearly have not learned to live life to the fullest. A simple act of getting out of their comfort zone, would be a great start of doing them (and society in general) a whole lot of good.
Good luck Kids, the real world awaits you, whether you’re prepared or not.
What say you?
