Midnight Monkey Monitor: August 2009

http://leafmonkey.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 06, 2009. This morning I took this picture from my office building. Seems like the haze is back indeed. Although I saw the haze at home this morning, a visit to NEA website this morning stated PSI was still good. I wonder if it got worse in the next update. Oh well. This Channel NewsAsia article shows that it did. Haze in Singapore as 50 hot spots detected in Sumatra. By Hasnita A Majid, Channel NewsAsia. SINGAPORE: The haze is back in Singapore and you can expect more hazy days ahead.

Midnight Monkey Monitor: Heron Watch 2014

http://leafmonkey.blogspot.com/2014/04/heron-watch-2014.html

Thursday, April 10, 2014. Last Saturday, the husband and I had the opportunity to ride the very low tides of Kranji Reservoir with a PUB officer Mr Osman and Dr Yam Tim Wing of Nparks to do a survey of herons as part of the nationwide survey Heron Watch 2014. This means if you don't find them or find less of them, either there is nothing to eat, or no home to stay or make babies! We are no birding experts but the husband and I were quite enamoured by the presentation by Luan Keng that we accidentally stu...

Midnight Monkey Monitor: July 2012

http://leafmonkey.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Read more to find out more about this photo circulating facebook. This is a really creative campaign in Germany created by Ogilvy and Mather(? To raise funds for the forest. As I often said, creativity is only limited by our imagination (and the outdoor advertising law in Singapore lol). And the worry that somebody will run off with the donation box?

Midnight Monkey Monitor: Goodbye Clementi

http://leafmonkey.blogspot.com/2006/11/goodbye-clementi.html

Sunday, November 05, 2006. It pains me to see this. Even though they are just introduced wayside trees for aesthetics and shade, it pains me to see any tree of that age, size and girth being cut down to make way for new developments. It's going to be another toa payoh hub. Yet another old neighborhood with the 70s character in the process of being erased and redeveloped. Yet another piece of our history gone like the trees scheduled to be eliminated. Life is full of juxtapositions. Nothing made the point...

Midnight Monkey Monitor: Where to recycle your gadgets?

http://leafmonkey.blogspot.com/2014/04/where-to-recycle-your-gadgets.html

Saturday, April 12, 2014. Where to recycle your gadgets? Spotted at the Environment Building, a recycling bin for general electronic waste by Starhub. If you are like me, a bit of a gadget head, changing your phones every 2-3 years when the contract end, and buying a new computer every time the old one fails but can't bear to throw the old one away? But when you try to sell them you realize they are worth nothing or you can't get anybody interested? Here's a list of collection points. Since November 2007...

Midnight Monkey Monitor: January 2010

http://leafmonkey.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Have a say in shaping our home. I always lament to my parents that when I was young I was never given an opportunity to have a say in shaping my home. As I got older, I fought for every chance to have a say in what goes in (and out) my living environment. If that sounds familiar to you, you'll probably be happy to hear that we now get a chance to have a say in shaping our island home! And our heritage areas too! Do the URA survey for its Concept Plan 2011. The Leafmonkey Work...

Midnight Monkey Monitor: Magnum Opus

http://leafmonkey.blogspot.com/2013/08/magnum-opus.html

Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Since I last blogged in 2012, many things have happened. I changed job for one. But surely, the proudest (and most cathartic) moment was when I finally submitted my Master dissertation, got relatively good comments from the examiners, passed with minor amendments and GRADUATED. My mentor and supervisor, Victor R Savage, patiently prodded me for 5 years and finally, the proud moment! You can read my magnum opus on NUS' scholarbank. As well. (Remember your citations! Account. ...

Many of the released birds are then caught again for the next round of release. Photo taken in 2006. After the last workshop on Wiping out the trade in Wildlife. With Louis of ACRES.

Midnight Monkey Monitor: Monkey's (Green) Projects

http://leafmonkey.blogspot.com/2001/01/monkeys-green-projects.html

Tuesday, January 02, 1990. Over the last 5 years, I've been involved in numerous projects and for fear of forgetting any one of them, I thought it would be wise to chronicle them on one page. I wouldn't call this my resume per se because I am constantly coming up with new ideas for projects which dissipate as doubts arise. So this would be the place to look out for upcoming projects as well. In the Cranium Mills. 1) The Leafmonkey Workshop. 2) BYEE Eco Camp. We even started a facebook group for this.
