Since I attended the Singapore International Water Festival on June 27, writing Haiku for what I’ve observed there seem to be quite cool! So let’s see what I can come up with that won’t make you clench your teeth. Marina Barrage Walk in with pen and paper Sweaty guy smiling Sun is hot Barrage full …
There I was, on a sunny Sunday afternoon on the 27th of June, blinking at the blinding 2 p.m. sun. My game plan was to interview the general public about whether they were aware that the issue of their world’s water supply is becoming increasingly critical. I was taken aback when many said they knew …
Youths are often stereotyped as being apathetic. However, the youths at the event I covered for the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) certainly negated this unflattering stereotype. The event I covered for the SIWW was the Asia Pacific Youth Forum organized by the National Youth Achievement Award and PUB. Youth delegates from countries in the …
“Reservoir in the City” is a pretty interesting concept, and Marina Barrage is a really beautiful place too. The barrage is the place to stop by for the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW). I went by on the 28th of June thinking that I probably would be more interested in the kites flying than the …
When I was 11 my interests revolved around fun, fun and fun. I had never classified “water” as fun. Seven years later, this changed. I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the students from the 12 different primary schools during the Primary Schools Water Festival, which was organised by the Waterways Watch Society and Bukit …
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 …
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 …
To be completely honest, I wasn’t expecting the Water Exhibit in the Environmental Education Hub in Marsiling Sec to be so illuminating and actually change the way I use water everyday. It is also apparent that I am not the only one that shares the same sentiments; one of my interviewees stated that after calculating …
