ComCrop @ NorthWest

ABBEY:  This is Harvest Moon in reality. I only do gardening in small pots and only planting the ornamental ones. But this is new experience. Starbucks is having a program for the community to plant crops. We did prepared for compost, built a land plot, plant seedlings and transferring the grown seedlings to the plot. It was tiring but fun. We were provided lunch, water, complementary shirt and dessert. This is good program and I hope we can join again someday.





















WILL: I saw in Abbey's eyes when I asked him that I want to join the Starbucks' Project is quite hesitant. Why? He do not know what will be ahead for us. Haha. He agreed and now it give back time to Mother Earth. 
      I am very nervous why? There is no one calling us for to confirm our registration, so what we do?, we went back to the VivoCity branch and followed-up! ;) Not more than three hours one called up man rang my phone then were in. Ha!
    Exactly 830AM we're at the Bukit Panjang branch waiting for our group. :) Then around 9am we start the oplan tanim. :) First, they told us the composting, then we build a blocks for the plants, we was asked to get a Starbucks cup and plant out own seeds, then the last thing we were asked to plant the seedlings to the blocks we built. 
    After this affair, Starbucks provided a lunch, bottomless cold coffee, a fro-yo with dill and the most exciting part is their speech. I am so touched that in a small effort we exerted a group of aunties were relieved to many duties. 
    Thanks Starbucks and The Living! Project for giving a chance for us to serve the community, aunties, and mother nature in a small way. 
    This is a great date! Haha! Unusual and exciting!
