Ever since I found out in April that I would get to spend the summer interning in B&V’s Singapore office, I have been looking forward to SIWW. I first heard about the event last summer while interning in Kansas City. I remember reading the SIWWDiary and thinking, “Wow. What an awesome experience it would be …
Why am I looking forward to SIWW this year? For me it’s a chance to make connections and build relationships face to face. The information superhighway connects millions of people virtually, but it’s much harder to create strong partnerships with clients you haven’t yet met. There’s just no substitute for live meetings with business partners, …
I bumped into Godart van Gendt, MD of memsys, leaving the SIWW 2011 media briefing just as some additional equipment for his pilot plant was being delivered. I was lucky enough to sit at a table with him for lunch earlier this year when he was explaining how he was about to set-up a pilot plant at …
After a few words with my taxi driver, it was down to business. The media briefing focused on a new element this year: TechXchange, which our technology leader Cindy Wallis-Lage will help moderate on Monday 4 July. Five budding researchers were on hand to answer questions and Elaine Quek, Manager, Technology & Water Quality Office presented …
Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) is back without doubt. I’m no longer the rookie this year and am without doubt looking forward to learning more the importance of water for Singapore and the rest of the world next week. One big personal difference this year, is that I found myself singing Singapore’s praise and educating Mr Hashid, …
After the summer break, the SIWWDIARY.com student project team – Black & Veatch, PUB and Ngee Ann Poly – got together to review the 105 posts from students covering events during SIWW 2010. We sat down and reflected on some of the great contributions from the students. From otters to flying kites to talking toilets …
An environmental maven and an inspiring figure: Jessica Cheam is young, sharp, stylish and trailblazing. She’d be the perfect person to recognize the endeavour, enthusiasm and budding professionalism of the students who contributed to SIWWDIARY.com, wouldn’t she? That’s what the comms team at PUB and Black & Veatch thought…but we didn’t think she’d actually agree …
On Tuesday, Jul 27 2010, my colleague Paul Ramani and I went down to Marina Barrage with three students to receive a certificate of appreciation for Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s participation in the Singapore International Water Week 2010. It was a culmination of months of hard work, planning, teeth-gnashing, nagging, marshalling and worrying. Our News Writing …
Before going to Marina Barrage for the Singapore International Water Festival (SIWF), I did some research regarding water conservation and management, mainly from the official Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) and Singapore International Water Festival website. From SIWF, in the Principal’s Message, nearly 3,000 students will be participating in this event. As my news angle …
On Sunday, June 27, when I attended the Singapore International Water Festival (SIWF) at the Marina Barrage, I learnt so much more about water, and Singapore’s history with water. Water has been a big issue for this little red dot we call home, even in the past. Singapore has had problems with water sufficiency, water …
