HITZFM

To those who've not heard about it, I had recently won the Hitz Announcer Search contest back in April!

Big thank you to all of you who have supported me throughout my journey during the competition!

I may not be exactly saying much right now, but believe me, I am EXTREMELY thankful for each and everyone's encouragement throughout my days here at Hitz!

Also, do take note that I am currently on the Hitz 1 2 4, every weekday from 1-4pm! So don't forget to call in for any song requests y'all want! (;

Until next time,

Play Your Part! (Langkawi Part 2)

Hey hey! So part two's finally up! Sorry I took ages to post this up guys. Have been so extra busy with everything happening around me!

Anyways, without further or do, here's part 2 of Play Your Part!

Like I said in my previous post, the Mangrove for Life Campaign was created by the Berjaya team in order to raise awareness to the media about how badly WE need to help the people of Langkawi prevent themselves from getting affected by the Tsunami, as they were back in 2004.

We headed off to Kampung Kuala Melaka at around 9am and had reached our destination at about 10am. About 424 mangrove saplings were planted off the coastal shoreline by the whole media M4L group, including the Berjaya team and a bunch of friendly NS students!

The activity started with a minor briefing which quickly led on to the Berjaya team separating us into different groups. A 500 metre wave breaker made out of six feet high PVC tubes were formed to block the plants from breaking when the waves has receded.

Dinner by the beach for our last night with an amazing buffet spread!

Final day in Langkawi. Now who could say no to another day at the beach?!

Play your part! Berjaya Langkawi (Part 1)

Langkawi. The island well known for being adjacent to the Thai border. Actually, it's probably even more well known for being the "Duty-free island" to most of you chocoholics and alcohol drinkers, ain't it?

Mark, Sabrina and I packed our bags and headed off to Langkawi for a 3 days 2 night trip as the 8tv Quickie Team, in conjunction with the Mangrove For Life Campaign hosted by Berjaya Langkawi Resort.

Now what is the Mangrove For Life Campaign, you may ask? The programme/campaign is a joined effort between Berjaya Langkawi, The Malaysian Nature Society, Institute of Foresters Malaysia, as well as the villagers of Kuala Melaka in Kuala Teriang.

For those who are highly unaware of what actually happened back in 2004, Kampung Kuala Melaka was one of the many places in Langkawi that was affected badly by the Tsunami hits. Now why did this happen though? Simple. There were NO coastal protectional guarding that could have blocked the waves from hitting as bad as it did.

Thus, The Mangrove For Life Campaign was brought up to further educated us about how WE would be able to play a part in helping the people of Langkawi further prevent this situation from happening once more.

Now I'm not going to talk too much about the activities that we did there for this post, so you'd just have to wait till Part 2 publishes!

But for now, how 'bout you just enjoy some of the pictures taken during the first day of the trip?
