I did a project on the lives of Karung guni recently for a solid waste management module. This is by far the most interesting project I've ever done. In this project we are suppose to find out the contributions, roles of Karung guni in our present society and devise ways to help them improve their lifestyle. Not only have i visited places that I've never been to, such as sungei road where the thieves market and large warehouses filled with 2nd hand electronic devices are located. The people selling their old and unwanted stuffs (practically everything, ranging from soft toys to chargers for all handphone models and lots of vintage products such as casette tapes, radios) are mostly retirees, trying to make a living on their own.
I have also visited tuas for the 1st time, we visited tuas marine transfer station(place where waste are deposited first before sending them over to semakau landfill via huge barges) and tuas south incineration plant where we get to see how the plant actually operates, checking out the different machines they use to control the optimum conditions needed to incinerate these waste.
For this project, we made a "channel 8 variety programme, Paris and Milan" inspired video for our presentation. This is my 1st attempt at acting and I totally sucked at it. LOL. We had lots of fun preparing this video, writing our scripts, filming for each other and preparing our own settings and props. Introducing to you my great actors and actresses: Top row-> Yixin as the studious Milan, Ivan as funny Tourist, Wee Lin as bimbotic Paris. Bottom row-> Wei Min as the greedy "
Garung guni" and Yong
Yi as
kpo aunty lucy.
