I have planned a series of nature trails with my family and colleagues, we will surely bumped into each other again among the snails and spiders and beautiful little creatures you have passionately introduced to us.

The ripples of your efforts, I am sure, are moving out in waves, touching many people's lives. I am sure all of us appreciate what you have done, that probably no one else has come close (^^) Your Blog will live on in our minds, and certainly help made many minds in what they want to do for Singapore! Posted by hoppiesg Posted on 28/08/04 15:06 thanks for promoting the happenings in Ubin. I am completely out of touch. Didn't know there could be anything interesting there Posted by hoppiesg Posted on 28/08/04 15:21 Your motto "Make a difference, no matter how small" --- juz to let you know that you have already made a little difference in my life:). You have increased my interest for the nature. Posted by EckKheng Posted on 28/08/04 08:02 Without a doubt, meetng you in the course of moblogging for the ndp site, is one of the best things of the experience. Your Dedication, Integrity and Friendliness proves thatyou can make a DIFferrence. I know you will never stop. Thank you for sharing so much of your energy, tiime and yourself. You are an example for all of us. Posted by EckKheng Posted on 28/08/04 08:08 Thanks, Ria, for showing us that there are so many people who are dedicated to caring for, documenting and teaching about Singapore's wild places. You all have shown that small does not mean insignificant. Indeed, because we have so little, there is so much more reason to treasure it. I salute everyone of you, the wild people of our land. Maju-lah! Posted by kllow14 Posted on 19/08/04 00:07 Ria just loves living on the edge. If not the conesnail, the stonefish, the snake, the scorpion etc etc........... Come to think of it, better than eat sleep work worry then illness........ You really live life to the fullest.

Isn't Singtel also providing a platform for voices? :) This blog here is one voice out there! :) Keep it up Ria! :) Posted by kllow14 Posted on 18/08/04 13:41 You guys are amazing, do you run on duracells or energizer? Posted by bluebabe Posted on 17/08/04 17:28 commenting on the feature on Singapore youths speak up think this is a great opportunity for nature lovers! we always complain that the government doesn't listen to nature people, but now they're actually soliciting feedback. if we keep quiet, we'll be the ones doing this cause the greatest disservice. Posted by bluebabe Posted on 17/08/04 17:12 commenting on the project to record Ubin's oral history It's great to see the human faces behind the signs and homes of Pulau Ubin! Good to know that this information and way of life is being recorded for posterity Posted by grayowl Posted on 17/08/04 16:34 commenting on the feature on Alan Nothing like starting them young. I think Alan's kids are lucky to be able to know nature from a young age! Like father like children ... we have hope in our next generation. (^^) This is a good example of making time rather than saying no time. (^^) Great work Alan! Ria, as always, a great report! Posted by hoppiesg Posted on 16/08/04 19:30 commenting on the feature on Edie good to have volunteers serving with passion Posted by grayowl Posted on 16/08/04 10:35 commenting on the feature on Norman Ria, wow, not only are we finding out more about gems in our forest, but in our people too! From spiders, now we are going to snakes! (^^) And there is a wealth of information on websites for us to look at for reference! Keep em coming. And great to know about you too, Norman.

Posted by bluebabe Posted on 12/08/04 16:30 commenting on the feature on Jani such a long way from 'i want to do a diving project...' now you're 'wonderful'! i wonder who else we can 'gently persuade' to join the volunteer movement, hehehe... But in all seriousness, all these great activities and projects wouldn't make it without the dedication and effort of the people involved. Hats off! Posted by grayowl Posted on 12/08/04 15:41 Wow! We have hope in Singapore. (^^) Ria, I am amazed at the number of wonderful people you throw up in this Blog. Let's have a who's who gallery ... about the people passionate about nature, of course.

Posted by otterman Posted on 10/08/04 12:14 Congrats on true reflections - the volume and regularity is amazing! Posted by eshaan Posted on 10/08/04 11:10 Hello Ria - Was browsing thru and found this great site. Love the photos and info on nature. Happy National Day! Posted by zanycow Posted on 09/08/04 22:05 commenting on your wild guess That is most definite a sea anemone. :) Btw great job on the blog. Posted by ladybug Posted on 09/08/04 20:11 commenting on the feature about Siva I'm so inspired! Posted by otterman Posted on 09/08/04 19:25 Happy National Day, Ria and all! Fantastic effort here - 0 to 100% blogger in days! Posted by yman Posted on 09/08/04 11:58 It's National Day today! The fireworks were off last night and tonight as well. This pretty flower (not sure what it is though) resembles fireworks of sort. It time to wish all fans of Wild Lives Singapore and everyone else a Happy National Day. Hope there will be more people getting into making wild lives Singapore a part of their lives. Ria and company has gone into great lengths to show us all Singaporeans that our natural heritage is indeed rich, lively, and striving. Let's all continue to preserve this rich natural heritage for many more generations of Singaporeans. (:> Yman) Posted by zonda Posted on 08/08/04 00:33 commenting on the International Coastal Cleanup Singapore programme Hmm ... I always knew about killer litter but never really thought too much about it! Thanks for showing to us how serious this problem is! Great job in helping our precious and delicate environment! :) Posted by yman Posted on 07/08/04 21:45 commenting on mms upload on Sekudu field trip Is this Singapore? Looks like a segment the Stonehedge at Salisbury Plain, England. Tiny Singapore certainly is not lacking in natural and historical heritage beyond those in the museums and Fort Caning areas. If we look hard enough and search further into the remaining wild areas , who knows what else we might find. Perhaps, more living artefacts that will certainly the heighten efforts of nature heritage conservation groups like Wild Singapore. (:> Yman). Posted by peacebird Posted on 06/08/04 21:11 Hi Ria, no words can say my appreciation of your tireless effort to protect wild places in tiny Singapore. Keep up the excellent work! Posted by peacebird Posted on 06/08/04 21:07 commenting on Mindy's efforts for the Labrador Park Watch programme Thanks for bringing up the subject, Ria...Hope now people would know it is harmful to collect anything from the Labrador beach. Singapore is a better place with a person like Mindy, keep it up! Posted by seven Posted on 05/08/04 19:36 commenting on the feature about Beng Chiak Ms Tan is truly an inspirational teacher. Posted by cleverbest Posted on 01/08/04 23:11 wow i thought Pulau Hantu (Ghost Island) is scary but it seemed like it is filled with the wonders of the Sea! it is so beautiful! Posted by cleverbest Posted on 01/08/04 23:13 so many updated information..i reallty enjoy reading them...help me gain more general knowledge too! Posted by yman Posted on 28/07/04 18:10 Ria, seems like you are still stuck in the jam since this morning. Only one photo since 08:24am? Most unsually, considering the onslaught of moblogs over the past few weeks. I hope it is your camera that went kaput, but not the "Blog for a cause" enthusiasm. It is still three two weeks to National Day. I am sure there's still plenty of grounds to moblog about. Well, I hope more people will come on and cheer you along. Actually, it had cross my mind whether the Moblog organisers had considered allowing multiple moblog contributors. That way the load can be shared, and more grounds can be covered. Hosts Phlilp and Sara, are you connected? (:> Yman) Posted by cleverbest Posted on 27/07/04 23:37 commenting on the feature on Alvin Lee wow another great experience with the wildlife! hope to see more of your stories! Posted by cleverbest Posted on 27/07/04 23:29 singapore is proud to have you caring for the environment WELL DONE!!!!!!! Posted by nawah Posted on 26/07/04 18:48 Great job with the MMS! Really brings nature closer! Posted by wangza Posted on 22/07/04 23:02 thank you for featuring Jen Lee. I've heard her and i really am inspired too...i like the way she uses photography as a tool to share with the world the way she sees the world. And the inter-connectedness that she sees between persons and the nature is really as it is now: at its most fragile... Tho there is a part we all play in it, a part that we can contribute in...There is so much passion in her... and yes... i feel for her cause... Posted by thejenlee Posted on 21/07/04 16:10 By using the internet to share pictures and insights about the natural world, Ria's blog not only amazes us with nature, but gives us opportunities to network with others - this is community-building at it's best! Posted by EckKheng Posted on 21/07/04 13:01 Hi Ria, Where in Singapore is this? I am a follwer of you blog. I open it before I check on mine. I hope you will be able to migrate all the material to a website when the blogging ends. Posted by HostSara Posted on 18/07/04 01:33 man ria.. u are so talented. I always love the way u put your pics up, and all of the pics always loook so darned good. I guess nature always has a way of outdoing itself over and over again huh. =) Posted by nan Posted on 17/07/04 23:27 putting in a little note in a little effort to save our little islands from further reclamation. there is so little that we know about what we have in our seas. Posted by lindy Posted on 17/07/04 18:31 Wow, didn't know singapore has such spectacular natural life to offer! Have to start exploring it now ;) Ria, thank you very much for the effort. Hope you will be able to raise enough fund for the Southern Island conservation project soon! Posted by Lagoon Posted on 16/07/04 16:01 Am posting a comment here in support of your cause and in respect of yours and all your volunteers' passion for what you do and believe in. Salut! Posted by Huziah Posted on 16/07/04 15:10 Your effervescent spirit and infectious laughter certainly defy all notions about conservationists and biologists being nerdy creatures! My colleagues and I at the Museum are all excited to sign up for the nature trails listed on your wild lives site. We mostly have backpacked, trekked and hiked to places all over the world and never realize there are actually much to see and do within Singapore's shores, and at very little cost too. Thank you for all your efforts in preserving and promoting the wonderful "little creatures" of Singapore. Posted by HostPhilip Posted on 05/07/04 23:05 Love your blog Ria! Keep up the great work! Posted by fen Posted on 28/06/04 17:50 Your blog is great providing wonderful insights into our very own wildlife...keep it up! Want to join our cause? email me or Blue Water Volunteers |
