The Festival of Biodiversity (a belated post)
This post comes a little late, more than a week after the Festival (26 & 27 May 2012) has ended. (And I’ve got a lot of backlog of posts) But anyways, it’s been quite an experience being part of the … Continue reading

Lightning+rain=no survey :(
I woke up bright and early on Saturday (30 March 2012) morning to head down to Punggol for the Mega Marine Survey! Only, once I reached there, I realised that I arrived 1 hour too early. But no matter, spent … Continue reading

“Uhh can I take the next boat home instead?”
I spent the past 3 days (5 Mar to 7 Mar 2012), far away from civilisation and modern technology (ie my laptop and internet) on Pulau Ubin at the rustic Celestial Resort. I was not slacking or having a staycation … Continue reading

Guiding at St John’s and other stuff.
Unfortunately, this is yet another back-dated post. Last Saturday (13 Aug), I did a guided walk at St John’s Island (SJI) under the Tropical Marine Science Institute (TMSI) for a group of NUS High School kids. We had to meet … Continue reading

Mega Marine Survey @ Lim Chu Kang mangroves
A very un-inspired title. But I can’t think of a better one at the moment. Spent yesterday afternoon at Lim Chu Kang mudflats for the survey. The survey was done along the stream. Quite soft mud, but deepest was only … Continue reading
