There are some significant events which I left out in my summary of the last months' activities. Here is one of them - our company organised a beach cleaning activity at East Coast Park as one of our yearly activities to support the Green movement and no prize for guessing who I brought along as cleaners:
They were very enthusiastic with the tongs, picking up every bit of cigaratte butts and styrofoam. Our most interesting find was a piece of chicken bone.
We were blessed with blazing hot sun amidst the wet and rainy season:
This is more like what we usually do at the beach, minus the gloves:
See that garbage bag - our miserable 'collection' of rubbish. Call me a skeptic - I suspect there were a few reasons why the beach was relatively clean but it certainly had nothing to do with people being more civic conscious:1. The beach has already been combed by the cleaners in the morning - our army of effective cleaners (mostly foreign labour - yes, I'm thankful for them) keeps Singapore clean and green whilst most of us are getting ready for work or school or still sleeping.
2. It was a Saturday morning (we had to be there before 8.30am) plus it was examinations period for the schools; translate to fewer visitors at the beach the evening before.
More than 2000 participants turned up for the event which made an entry in the Singapore Book of Records.

I like that they had mini uniform for the kiddos. What was the Guiness Record for?
They didn't - not for the little ones. I had to hem up between 3 to 5 inches using double sided tape, the night before. I've gotten pretty adept with quick-fix without having to use a sewing machine.
The Most People cleaning the beach .. or something like that.
YOu're getting very crafty - out of no choice.
