I was one of the privileged few who managed to attend the Asian Water Symposium 2010 held at Dunman High School in June, in conjunction with the Singapore International Water Week. I was expecting it to be a boring afternoon but boy, was I terribly wrong. Instead, my afternoon turned out to be an enriching …
I attended the Lower Seletar Active, Beautiful and Clean (ABC) Waters Project Launch on the 27th of June 2010. Initially, I was dreading the event. Water, what could possibly be so fascinating about yet another government-related water event, I had thought to myself. I soon realised what exactly was so fascinating. Everyone calls Singapore a …
Ironically, the Singapore International Water Festival (SIWF) was held at Marina Barrage right after Singapore experienced several flash floods. It was another moody afternoon, and light drizzle pelted on all who had come for the SIWF, but the rain did not dampen everyone’s spirits. There was a lot of water sports at Marina Barrage and …
Who knew that a tidal barrier that pumps billions of gallons of water per day could become a choice location for Singaporeans to spend their lazy Sundays? I was certainly skeptical when I visited the Marina Barrage for the first time while covering Singapore International Water Festival (SIWF) on the 27th of June. However, I …
Where there is water, there also will be excited, soaking-wet children. This law holds true all over the island, from Parco Bugis Junction’s jumping fountain to the rooftop wading pool at VivoCity. So I wasn’t surprised to witness the same phenomenon at the fountain gracing the ground floor of the Marina Barrage. In the sweltering …
Marina Barrage took centre stage as the Singapore International Water Festival saw a strong response of 3,000 students turning up all for a good cause: to raise awareness of water conservation. Despite the rain pouring early in the morning, spirits were high as participants prepared for the races. Other activities included an art competition, kite …
The event at Bukit View Primary is a great platform for our younger generation to be exposed to the importance of water. Using the three principles of water in Singapore, Conserve, Value and Enjoy, PUB managed to embed these values through the Water Wally Show and games to the students. I feel that in order …
If you were to ask me where I get my water sources from, my answer would be somewhere along the lines of “from the tap”/ “from a bottle”. Shallow as it may sound, I have very little understanding regarding the water sources which are easily available to Singaporeans. In this time and age where information …
The Kranji Reservoir Nature Walk with Nature Society Singapore held on 2nd of July 2010 was undoubtedly a fruitful one. Initially I was put off by the distance travelled as well as exposing myself to the wild, humid and heat. Furthermore I was not interested in the subject of nature. However, I was wrong, about …
As I rushed to Suntec City as a little confused jitterbug, my mind was in a whirlpool, not knowing exactly what to expect from the Water Expo. Arriving at the food court next to the convention centre, among the furious lunch crowd were delegates with the very same, prominent nametag I had received. And that …
