Padang Kemunting & Raptor Watch
'the Return' made it to Padang Kemunting and also Raptor Watch 2008. Yes, 'the Return' and five volunteers went outstation for two days and they had loads and loads of fun. Seriously. The trip was the realization of our community outreach programme which translates in giving education about marine turtle conservation to rangers and rovers at SMK Methodist, Melaka. Not only managed to educate them, we also educate ourselves about raptors at Raptor Watch 2008 at Tanjung Ilham.

DAY ONE
Padang Kemunting, Melaka

Two hours sitting in the bus didn't make them expressionless.
Here they are, in front of Ismah Beach Resort where we stayed.



The Padang Kemunting Turtle Hatchery is just next to Ismah Beach Resort.
Look what we found: A real turtle, and they have few more there.


And we also saw the terrapins, REAL one.


Everybody was listening to Min Min from WWF
who explained how turtles hatch by the beach.


Mr. Leroy Luar and Ms. Samantha Hepburn educating
the Rangers and Rovers at SMK Methodist Melaka.


And surprisingly, they are more interested about our cause rather than our own
Taylor's College students :) great to know that there are people
out there who actually pay attention and do something.


And after quite a long day, strolling around Jonker street was not a bad idea.
FOOD FOOD FOOD SHOP SHOP SHOP TIRED SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP!



DAY TWO
Raptor Watch 2008, Tanjung Ilham, Melaka

He's the man :P

Seriously pity Aida, she must be missing water so bad. It was a very sunny and bright day earlier that day, but followed by a very cooling rain in the afternoon.


Don't exclude turtles. They also have their own percentage of narcissism. In this case, Aida dreams about being a mermaid for one day. Oh well...

These kids seriously in love with Aida. They hugged her, pinched her, ohh ask Aida. But they were sweet and let me snap few nice pics of them and Aida. KUDOS!

uh oh, the boys brigade. Smartass, all of them. One of the kid asked me, "hey, this is raptor watch right? how come we got turtle in here??". DUH.
Aida acting smart =_=


Not so sure who's attracted more to Aida (well, Aida loves daddys too *grins*)


He was too surprised, barely said anything but 'Hi'.


We spotted our lecturer's performance as well, Mr. Azmyl.


We will never be too tired for a picture or two, aye?

Green Day at Taylor's College
From Green Apples, Green Marigold, Green Grapes, Green Kiwis, Green Jelly. GREEN!



And there was a picketing too...


And also performance from ProPassion team (thanks for the support guys)


Ah, also the anger management game, stomp the can!


Stomp one...two...31!


Finally, Nelson wins (again!) but the rest of the participants help to clean the stomped cans ;) good citizenship behavior, y' all.


Look who's comin'? The Hitz.fm crews are! They handed out some attractive prizes and the audience was really into it (even The Return team ;) )


We all know that Green Apple looks good, and also tastes good. That's why we challenged these guys to eat apple, in an innovative way, you don't even need hands ;) yeah you name it.


"Stand by me...oh darling darling stand, by meee....", was sung by Elisa and friend.


Calming voice and nice guitar. Introducing our singer cum guitar player: Imam.


Our own Melisa Suciati was singing too!


The Return would like to thank all of our performers, participants and audiences for showing up yesterday at The Courtyard to support the Green Day by The Return.
Check out your pictures (yes dude, if you were there!) here

YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED BIGTIME!



You remember those stickers that turned up everywhere? Well, from now until next Thursday, they're gonna actually mean something. If these stickers (pictured above) end up on your person, come find anyone of 'the Return' members (we'll be wearing tags of our own: name tags that is), we'll ask you a coupla questions (three to five questions can't be that hard right?) and if you get them all right, you get a gift on the spot. Simple and lucrative. We have nothing to lose and you have everything to gain.

Seeing Triple!
This weekend, 'the Return' successfully attempted a major sleight of hand as we made THREE... yes, you read right; THREE.. simultaneous appearances at Amcorp Mall, Wisma Atria and Giant USJ.


1. Wisma Atria

Despite the fact that some of us don't even know where on earth is Wisma Atria, The Return team consists of four people, happily stuffed the booth and managed to put all of the clothes, household items, comic books, ceramics, and a lot of other things on the table,


and also on the floor.


These four people eagerly attract people to come and visit the booth,
and make them dig the mountain of clothes...


dig deeper...


and deeper...


and deeper... ^^


2. Amcorp Mall

Set as a garage sale fundraiser in keeping with our message of keeping our trash onland through reusing and reducing the amount waste that we produce, 'the Return' opened a booth courtesy of Amcorp Mall where we sold to the public juicy second hand goods gleaned from our peers in Taylor's College Petaling Jaya. We had clothes, knick-knacks, clothes, books and magazines, clothes and more clothes. Indeed, it seems KLites are true bargain hunters when it comes to clothes. We also ran into the X-Fresh FM Street Surfers and the My FM de gong dui (go brush-up on your Chinese pinyin) who made the event all the merrier!!


Janet Lee glammed up 'the Return'!!


MyFM de gong dui he 'the Return'

Xue Zhen found us through Janet's blog. Coolness!!


3. Giant USJ

Sunday 2nd March was an action-packed day for The Return team, as we split ourselves three ways, and seven of us went to Giant Supermarket near Summit PJ. We had a booth with our good friends, Christa and Leela from TrEES. We cold canvassed shoppers to sign our petition/ pledge - not forgetting to tell them about The Return campaign! All in all, we spent four busy hours talking to lots of aunties and uncles, passing them brochures, and giving hand-made paper star necklaces (a recyclable goodie!) to their kids/ grandkids. Shoppers were also surprised with an appearance by Aida the Turtle, as she strutted her stuff up and down the path, proud to have her photo taken with children and happy families. It was a great day. And a great success for our petition/ pledge drive - we got more than 200 signatures!

To Amcorp Mall, Wisma Atria and Giant USJ without whom we'd have no place to raise funds in, TrEES without whom we'd have no exhibition to exhibit in, Janet Lee without whom we'd have no exposure to our event, XFresh FM and MyFM without whom we'd have no added excitement to our event and to our supporters in Taylor's College Petaling Jaya without whom we'd have nothing to raise funds with, 'the Return' thanks you from the very depths of our carapace!!!!

The Return to SINGAPORE!
We came, we tagged and we.. urm, annoyed? A part of the Return went to our neighbour down south for the weekend and while we were there, we tagged up a storm! We went to Orchard Road, Bugis Junction, Suntec City, Clarke Quay etc and, though incognito, left a blazing trail of tags in our wake. So, if you were one of those tagged and actually came to the website, why not just be part of this web community? Send us your photographs (preferably with the tag visible) and we will upload it into our blog and our flickr account.
