watch this 2 hours clip. rather interesting speech and q and a by thomas friedman, author of The World is Flat.

'your left brain is used to prepare for SATs, it can be outsourced or found on the net. develop your right brain, do what you love. '

CQ (curiosity quotient) is far more important than IQ.

the northest part of singapore

i went to sungei buloh wetland reserve today with jinci, dhevy, henry and wilber. mr pang drove us there from vj and i slept the entire 40 min drive.

the breifing started at 9 and pple from nus, singapore american school and a church atteneded. there would be around 200 pple doing the mangrove cleanup on the 10th.

following, we had a tour of the spots where we would do the cleanup. SAS's spot is filled with rubbish. vjc's allocated spot is closest to the sea i think. meaning it would be muddiest spot!

johor can be seen very easily from the coast. i think i saw the tallest flagpole.

im thinking of wearing some old and forgotten shoe and im definitely not wearing my new starry shoelaces =P bought those last wednesday and since then i felt as if i was walking with the stars. wheee =D

last year i went to chek jawa, the mangrove in pulau ubin, and i had a horrible experience as my shoe got caught in the mud and i lost a sock.

hope we have fun on the 10th!
