Let it not be said that the Miss Earth Singapore contestants are all talk and no action.
From what Siva observed, the girls were not afraid to get their hands dirty.

Last Saturday, I visited Singapore’s one and only landfill.
Yes, all our trash has to go somewhere, even though it is incinerated. Since we don’t have any space for landfills on the mainland, the incinerated waste is shipped to Pulau Semakau, which you can see in the map above (the island with lots of holes, just below Pulau Bukom).
Far from being a wasteland, the island is home to a wide range of plants and animals. Check out the photos of the wildlife I encountered.
And if you want to find out about some of these strange and colourful creatures, do pop over to Ron Yeo’s blog.

Came across the We Are Media Project, a wiki aimed at “build[ing] a toolkit and instructional guides about how social media strategies and tools can enable nonprofit organizations to create, compile, and distribute their stories and change the world”.
It’s in the process of being built, but it already looks promising. The first module compiles some very nice resources for a range of non-profit groups, including social media in education. A good starting point for most people.

Mark down Saturday 19 July 2008 in your calendar - that’s when the Pasir Panjang Heritage Trail is on!
Held in support of Singapore HeritageFest, this year the Pasir Panjang Guides will be conducting two walks on that day. We’ll be focusing on the question: who’s your hero?
We’ll start at the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research in NUS, make our way to Kent Ridge Park and end at Reflections at Bukit Chandu. Of course, if you’ve got the time and energy, you can continue through the Southern Ridges!
As we walk, you’ll hear about who (and what!) the guides find heroic (or maybe even villainous..) in the Pasir Panjang area.
Join us for the walk!
More details and registration information at http://heritagefest.rafflesmuseum.net/.

One of the blogs I enjoy reading most is Lam Chun See’s Good Morning Yesterday. His blog has been nominated among the Top 10 individual blogs in omy’s (as in ‘Oh my!’, I think) Singapore Blog Awards 2008.
If you enjoy reading his blog, as I do, show your support!
Vote for him* at the Singapore Blog Awards website. You can vote once a day for a blogger in each category.
If you’ve never checked out his blog before, what are you waiting for? He and his guest bloggers will tell you lots of things about Singapore in days of yore which you never knew. It’s chock full of stories and photos.
Someone else who deserves to be among the Top 10 individual blogs is LaoKokok. He blogs at Times of My Life. (Another heritage blog with a Paul Anka inspired title.) He’s kept lots of stuff from his younger days and shares them with his readers. Even though you can’t vote for him, you might want to read his blog. If you like Good Morning Yesterday, you’ll probably enjoy Times of My Life.
* For accountability (I suppose), you have to give up your personal information like your IC number. A small price to pay for making sure that the online voting is fair.
