18th December 2009
Today, we planted trees in USJ 2/2L. Before we start, we were divided into pairs. I was paired up with a guy named Timothy who was two years older than I am. Then,a representative from MPSJ demonstrated first and he mentioned that girls cannot plant the trees. But YB Hannah let us try.
Briefing by YB Hannah Yeo.. and Malaysia Kini press was there. More publicity! hehe
MPSJ planted the first tree which was quite huge as a demonstration. He did it in less than 15 minutes man!
Timothy did all the work...HE GOT ALL THE STRENGTH TO DO IT. hehe I backed him up when he got tired. A nice guy btw...
Other groups were all busy planting their trees too.
After placing the tree in, Tim carried the fertilizer and started pouring them in.
My job was to make sure the fertilizer and mud was well mixed. Nicely using the cangkul to even the ground around the tree.
Other groups finish... Sze Kay helped other groups. Ugh, this guy disgusts me. He kept telling everyone he's from VI. Whats the big deal about VI anyway?

After everyone planted their trees, the representative from MPSJ praised us for doing such a good job in a short time (From 9.15am to 10.15am) YB Hannah Yeo asked us to come again if we are interested to do any environmental activities for USJ in the future. hehe I DON'T MIND AT ALL!
As we were walking down the slope to pick up rubbish around, somebody left their work undone so Su Wen, Chloe, Kaylee and I finished up that particular tree. Therefore, we planted a tree and a half! haha
All the nicely planted trees on the slope... Kind of dangerous but fun!
After the tree planting activity, we went back to church for debriefing. Around 12pm, Chloe, Kaylee and I went to Su Wen's house to take a bathe and got some rest before workshops at 3. I'm so extremely happy now because I realised that I can use this activity for my Environmentalist badge.
Yeah, I believe we can do greater things for God! Bless others and you will be blessed.... We gave USJ more oxygen by planting 35 more trees today. YAY!!!
