WE ARE ON AIR!!!

Yippee!!! S.O.S Earth is on AIR!!

‘有情有爱 自由自在’

Do you know which radio station this tagline belongs to?? Guess.....

Yes! You are right! Its from Ai FM!!

Representatives from Media Relations and Editorial (MRE) as well as Programming (Exhibition) were the two volunteers to represent the whole APR1 students. Not forgeting, our super-women plus a little bit of cuteness in her, our event advisor, Ms Lim Siz Siz!!!

They move out an hour earlier from TAR College as they were unfamiliar with the area and surprisingly they reach on time and also manage to have a small talk with the host, also a senior broadcaster, Mun Meng.

(From left) representative from Programming (exhibition), DJ - Mun Meng, Representative from MRE (remember her face!)

At 12.15pm, the talk show begun! The representative from MRE department was so nervous as she was the first to talk, eventhough so, she managed quite well. Thumbs up! Everyone listen up!! She mentioned that she will reduce the usage of driving private car and will take public transports. So, if anyone of you saw her driving a car, report it here!!! Thank you!!!

Also, the Director of programming (exhibition) was as enthuasiastic as the DJ about environment issues as she shared with the listeners about her habit in 'tabaoing' her food. She said that she will bring along a food container to pack her food or she will quickly dine on spot shoud she forgot to brig one. No plastic bag! That's her motto. Way to go....

Then, the DJ asked, what is the biggest differences that both girls undergo before and after organizing this GREEN event? They believe that now they wanted to share the knowledge and information about conserving the environment with their family and friends, such as using non-woven bag while shopping and think twice before throwing away stuff which is harmful to our environment.

Overall, it is a relaxing talk show similar to a chit chat gathering.

YOU KNOW WHAT? Ms Lim actually make fun of the APR 1 students on air!! She said that when students who packed their food with plastic bag and polystyrene saw her and they quickly run away! (Actualy, I might do the same as well, shhhh) She believed that the habit to conserve the environment should start from the education wise. She said she saw us growing. From zero to hero. Although there were many conflicts among the organisers as it happen in all event, we manage to pull it off and had come out with an awesome campaign. She also said that she noticed that many of the organisers have become a 'Greener' person. Thank you, Ms Lim!!


Stay tuned....

Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work. The lesson one learns from yachting or planting is the manners of Nature; patience with the delays of wind and sun, delays of the seasons, bad weather, excess or lack of water.

2nd Day of The Event @ THE FINAL DAY

It’s confusing to see the crews smile today. Are they happy because it’s the final day or they are smiling because of the feedback (not friendly enough…etc) that they received yesterday? Never mind that as today is the day to improve, the day to enjoy; a day to be happy for all sorts of reasons.

The day starts as the crowd floods the hall. Just like the first day, the exhibition is the same but there are different activities on stage. It starts with a talk that was filled with quite a number of interactive spectators which is nice to see as it makes the talk livelier and more interesting.



Straight after that, the main event of the day: PERFORMANCE BY ARIC HO!!

Many might not know who he is but let me tip you guys. He is a Malaysian born, Singaporean based singer, actor and host = artist. He hosted several show in Malaysian and also Singapore and has his own album. The crowd went NUTS while waiting for his appearance.





INTRODUCED by a made-shift emcee (1 of our own), Aric (its AAAA-ric not Eric alright?) came out from the shadows, walks-in slowly and gently, says hi and waves to the crowd (the music is playing), picks up his notes and starts singing. His massaging voice made the crowd go melting over as the soothing song echoed the hall. It was nice and good. We are not being buyers but seriously it was nice NOT FORGETTING; GIRLS, HE IS QUITE GOOD LOOKING. After the singing and interviewing, the autograph session went on. Congratulation to all Aric’s fans. Soon after, Aric gets on the floor and visit the exhibition as well. Ushered by our crew, he gain information through explanation and he was quite impressed to show what we have done *applauds*.



Aric Ho in the exhibition

After he left, there were some other interesting activities went on; THE POTTED TREE PLANTING session. The crowd was asked to join the as there were 50 plants ready to be planted and given away as souvenirs. It was great to see that all 30 sits that were prepared was full and the crowd actually enjoyed the session but it was kind of short to be honest.













Smiles from the crowd that join the tree planting session

In this exhibition, there are a few things that stand out from the rest of the exhibit items. It catches the eye of many and was always crowded with people. THE MUD-BALL MAKING. Made out of few subtends; it really stinks, the mud-ball function as an “anti-dirty” organic cleanser that actually helps the soil + water in the river to improve.



The MUD-BALL maker showing and guiding the crowd on how to make MUD-BALLS.

As time goes on, the closing ceremony comes closer. Sharp at 4.30pm, Abby burst into scene and announce the winners of the PAPER TOWER guessing event. It is where stacks of A4 and old newspapers in a tower cage that were counted 1-by-1 by two of our organizing committee in order to let the crowd guess how many pieces of paper that were in the tower. Of coz there were hints, but no one will ever get the exact answer but as close as you gets, you will win prizes worth RM500. We limit the number of contestants to 500 people only just to match the prize.



The Grand Winner, Mr Gan Hong Bin!!

Straight after that, the closing ceremony was held and it was the end of the event. Overall, the event got quite good comments but of course there were flaws. It was a good effort thrown out by the students, advisors and of course, without the sponsors, NGOs and governmental org’s support, we would not have done it as well as we did.


To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.

There are more...

After the awesome opening, we have more things awaiting for us! Heard of DiGi Deep Green before? Well, DiGi is very determined to do something about the climate change within its own sphere of influence. Hence, they came to our college at 2.00pm to give a talk about their Deep Green project to educate the students of TARC about the climate change and reducing CO2 emission. Mr Philip was the speaker of the day and thank you for the beneficial talk!

Right after DiGi Deep Green talk, One FM Cuiser visited our college!!!

It was crazy, i can tell you.

Once they started their games, everyone was excited to get the answers right in order to get the prizes. Even, the organising committees get excited.

Soon after, the speaker from Justife company, Ms Connie, demostrated the prcoess of making garbage enzyme to the audience. This garbage enzyme was made using unwanted waste and it is organic, not to mention that it is environmental-friendly. Thank you Justlife for the amazing talk!

Look forward for the second day....

Arrest Them All !!

Have you ever experience a gang of terrorists in red shirt (looks evil~) crush into your lecture hall during your lecture?? But, in the end I believe that you’re saved by a gang of Earth Ranger who are wearing black (cool~), right?

This type creative ways of DK announcement are all conducted by AAV2 students who try to create awareness among the students in our college to support us in saving our Mother Nature!! Let’s recall back what you saw in lecture hall…

Ready to act…

Preparing SOS Earth TVC…

The terrorists are coming in!!! Help!!!!!

“Freeze!!!” Your are arrested!!

Terrorists were arrested by the Earth Rangers (ER) Team and the leader of ER team was urging the students to support in ‘arresting’ those people who destroy our earth!!
(ER team’s members look so smart!)

To end the show, all the terrorists are detained from lecture hall…

In order to create such impressive show, AAV2, our creative agency had put a lot of efforts in it. So, do support our event- S.O.S Earth on the 11th-12th August 2009 from 9.30 am to 5.00pm in College Hall!!!

The Mock Event

Mock Event. Sounds close to MOB-EVENT when you pronounce it but it is not alright? Like any other thing in the world, before the real-thing, we run the proposed event and see if its good enough or to say perfect and ready to be seen at the real stage. Amend if its not perfect, decline if its not worth the spot in the event. That’s all about the mock event, kinda.

As for this, Ms. Lim (our lecturer/advisor) set a date and venue for us to present or to say to run the “event”. For the activities team and all others that are involved, it’s a big day for them as this is the day to IMPRESS so that they don’t end up DEPRESS. Time ticks, and the clock rings. 0830 Saturday it is, the crew all rushes in to location to do their set-ups according to F.L.O.R.A which stands for; Forest, Land, Ocean, River and Air.


*dud cha..dud cha..boom boom cha..*(background song usually played in fashion shows)
The arrival of the crew which we have no idea why it looks like they’re doing catwalk





The set ups
WHILE some are setting up their respective booths, some are still repairing, creating, gluing the props for the mock not forgetting that time is ticking, and is running out as THE CRITIQUE (Ms. Lim) will soon arrive and have a look at it.




The ones that are still preparing the props..

Like any other place, there will always be a joker fooling around making atmosphere a lil-less tensed.


The joker, and yes, our course rep

“Stage set, lights on, let the music play and lets start the show!” nah…not like that. Its verdict time and all of them are pretty worried about it as all their hard work will be judged and criticized and maybe applaud.


THE CRITIQUE..and yes indeed..K O for fellow crew..


The review..and poor BEN (3rd pic)..got shot there on the spot..




A few items that will be on event day..this is all I can unveil..come to the event for more and I bet you won’t regret coming as there will be better ones to see.

AFTER the mock event, Ms. Lim shares a bit more to the exhibitors as there are gaps for improvement and amendment to be done so that we could present YOU GUYS OUT THERE an event to remember. And finally, at 1430, we are able to flee from there. A just a lil reminder, the event is getting nearer and nearer so be there and there will be lots of fun and experience to gain from.


Signing off..
