Towards a Green Malaysia

A continuation from a previous post here

this is the day where Canon organized this tree planting event a few days ago.

Alright so where was i, hmmm

i was talking about the thumb print thingy... lolx...

before i continue in my story telling, these are the emcee for the event. Refer picture above. =)

okays so after the speeches by the VIPs, they proceeded in officiating the event by setting the examples themselves

Some of the pictures where they were planting the trees.

After that, there was this short little Q&A/Interview session

and at the same time, the participants were divided into groups and they were sent to different areas to proceed with the tree planting process.

This just reminds me of Hari Sukan, Hari Gotong Royong and etc which i usually ponteng when i was still in my sec school days. HaHa.

this is one of the very few moments/times that you can be proud being a Malaysian, watching people doing something meaningful with mestandingbesidedoingnothingYAWN. xD

quite a positive act. Awesome. Not to me but to them of course.




Some other ongoing stuffs on that day. =D

so after the tree planting process, some lucky participants got to win a digital camera themselves during a short quiz session.

after that, there's this performance by this local artist, Zainal Abidin. No Comments =)

This is a meaningful event and movement organized by Canon in collaborative with many parties itself. They actually set a target that 2500 trees to be planted and the actual fact is there were already 5000 trees planted since the launching of this Canon Goes Green movement which started two and a half months ago. Pretty encouraging huh? That's quite a successful campaign/movement if you ask me.

Shall not talk more la, will bored you later.

so yea, Towards a Green Malaysia Yea!!

cheers.

ShuJian, Nigel, Kelli, HsuJen, David and me.

I'm Feeling Green!!!

Its pretty rare when you hear people say i'm feeling green. Blue,Yes but not Green. This is not a day where like i was beaten up with multiple "black green" spots all over my body.

This is a day where part of the community in the Klang Valley will do something good for mother nature.

This is a day where Canon Goes Green.

The Tree Planting Event at Padang Kota Damansara
19.10.2008
A collaboration of :-
Global Environment Centre (GEC)
Majis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya(MBPJ)
Selangor Forest Department
Canon Marketing Malaysia

Waking up at 7am is really such a pain and we reached the venue around 7.30am. Awesome right? and the most awesome thing was THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THERE ALREADY. Speaking about "semangat" Malaysians. Amazing!

Oh about the "we", its me, ShuJian, Nigel, Kelli, David & HsuJen. xD

Environment Awareness.

We proceed to the registration point to get our tags. =P



and gosh i'm so happy that breakfast were provided with Milo/Nescafe some more!!
That was just the thing for me at THAT moment. =)

Soon the VIPs arrived, am lazy to state them out with all those Datuk, Dr, Director, YB Zzzz.

A few speeches were made. Just like in any other event la. Yadda yadda yadda. =)

Apparently, they were expecting 500 participants but it turned out that there were more than 700 crazy people who don't need to sleep people there attending this very event. and again i must say, AMAZING.

While the VIPs were giving their speeches, there was some ongoing activities already.

Children won't understand the speeches right?? So they went for some coloring and painting/tattoo session. The activities was available throughout the whole event.

Another thing is this, people marked their attendance and support towards this movement by putting their thumb print on the board. Interesting.

This is the area for people to plant trees, the whole place were divided into 14 areas. Note that the yellow box below is the stage. O.O IT IS BIG.

I'm Feeling Green Already =)

Alright, enough of green pictures for now, more coming soon. Here's a picture of someone i met in the event. Nixon, someone whom i knew when i was working part time with Canon last time. =D
