Last Saturday our whole family with Kung Kung and Po Po (my parents) went on a tree planting project in some peat swamp forest reserve in Bukit Tagga some where north Selangor near Kuala Selangor. It was hosted by Eco Warriors Malaysia and PATT (Plant-A-Tree-Today.org) and the target is to plant 10 000 on World Forest Day!
How did we end up doing this?
Well, we were invited by a friend Stephanie. I thought it was a great opportunity for Aiden to learn the importance of conserving our environment and what a fun way to learn by planting trees!
Actually to be honest, I didn’t know that we were going to a peat forest and it was going to be that muddy and wet!! When I saw the photo of Steph planting a tree she was all dry and looked very pretty in a field somewhere… So when we got there and saw all the MUD I was kind of taken a back. But that didn’t stop us from doing what we went there to do… Plant some trees!! But the 2 kids didn’t get to join us as the mud was all the way up to our knees in some areas and I was wet to my undies! Even that didn’t dampen our spirit to do our part for Mother Earth. My mother stayed with the 2 kids at the tent while we got all down and muddy with the rest of our friends from Asia Works. I didn’t really expect to have so much fun (I don’t exactly like to get all muddy) but we did, and for a good cause too! 
We were all pooped after we’ve done our allocated rows and more. As we were heading out, the land was dry and Aiden got his chance to plant his tree. He was very proud of himself.
Actually Greg and I are very proud of Aiden and Caitlyn… It was really something for them. We actually had to track more then 1km in the oil palm estate to the planting site and they both did it on foot. Only on the out Jeff and Greg took turns to carry Caitlyn but Aiden did it on his own all the way. And to top that off it was a really hot day. Even I was feeling like fainting on the way out.. 
After that we took a drive to Kuala Selangor for some well deserved seafood lunch.
Especially when it’s a collab with MAC!! This week happens to be full of Hello Kitty, because MAC launch a collection of limited edition 
And she started posing and dancing with them around the living room… I never thought there would come a day when someone will be fighting for my Hello Kitties…
