Power to Change by HP

It's the only home we know. Yet, every day, we take the earth for granted.

Every time we take a flight or leave the lights on, we are doing the earth harm.

When we forget to turn off our computers, energy is also wasted.

But, together we can help make the world a greener place, one simple act at a time.

Because when it comes to the environment, small changes can make a world of difference.

Are you ready to make the change?

HP Power to Change


We often forget to turn off our computers when we are not using it. I am guilty of this as well. I often wonder off to do something else and forget that my laptop is still working.

We always thought it's just for a short while, it will not make much difference.

And, this is especially so in office environment whereby computers are often left turned on when people go out for lunch or out for meeting and events for few hours. It always seems more of a hassle to them having to turn it off and on again when they return to work. But, that few hours of leaving the computer on would mean energy has been wasted.


The act of turning off the computer may mean nothing to one person, but many people who do the same will make a whole lot of difference.


Spread the word to ensure we have a good environment to live in~

Everyone can make a difference with our little actions.

Start the good habit today! =)

#Please turn off your computer if you are going to be done soon. Reminder to myself as well!

It seems to be the next big thing for R&D industry and a second CBD alike area for Singapore.

I got a chance to visit Fusionopolis recently with MOE teachers and staff during a GET OUT! learning journey organised by TakeMeToAsia.

One North - Fusionopolis aims to be Singapore new business capital - for innovators and visionaries, and create a conducive environment for people with creative thoughts and inspiration to meet and exchange ideas. It will be a place for people to Live, Learn, Work, Play and make breakthrough creations!

Press On Singapore Campaign

Press On Singapore! came at a good time as it is during such times when people are feeling down due to the financial crisis, H1N1 or natural disasters that needs some encouragement.


Press On Singapore





A little encouragement to someone in need makes a big difference to them! =)

All of us need some encouragement once in a while in our life. Encourage your family, friends, colleagues whenever you can. You'll never know how big the impact may be on them by what you have said or what you have not said.


There was also an ad that was shown in parts on TV and the part I saw was the little girl who likes to talk to her surrounding items. Her friends find her behaviour strange and likes to make fun of her. Only one friend stood by her for who she is.

Catch the full version of the Encouragement video on Press On Singapore.




Gambatte!

GO GO Fighting! Fighting!!

Jia You!

Spread the word of encouragement today! =)

First time - Tour Guide

First time being a tour guide.

I was so nervous and excited then. hahaa

It's a 2 hours learning trip to Sentosa for a class of secondary 3 students. This trip is part of their school module - Elements of Business Skill.

Got the chance to ride on the new Cable Car - the Jewel Box. It has been so so many years since I last took it.

View from the Jewel Box restaurant~







































Photo taken in the cable car with one of the student.. Somehow, we look more like classmates. Lol





















The students get to enjoy the Luge and Skyride as well. Although this isn't their first time riding it (they got a treat from their teachers because of good results, so good!), they seem to have enjoyed it alot.

Aren't the students very lucky nowadays? I didn't remember having such interesting trips paid for by the school when I was in Sec 3. Haha. But, sadly to say, there are still students who do not appreciate such learning trips.

Anyway, it was good that everything ended on schedule and I completed the task of letting the students know more about Sentosa - one of the most popular attractions in Singapore.

For a first timer, I think I did well but of course there are still rooms for improvement. haha. The two helpers were great too! =) However, it was really challenging to capture the students' attention in the outdoor and I realised my voice was not loud enough. I must learn to talk using my dan tian () more so that my throat will not be hurt easily. And, I should be able to adjust my volume with more ease by then.
