2 years ago, Singapore experienced a very dry spell with more than 2 months without rain. Trees, plants and grasses are browning everywhere. My friend, Shun Ling, came up with this brilliant idea of using reused water (from washing vege, fruits, rice) to water the trees and plants around us, to induce rain and prevent them from dying. We set up the "Let It Rain Singapore" FB group to encourage and rally more friends to join in this movement.
It is heartwarming to see so many friends, posting pictures of them (some with their children), watering trees, plants with reused water. The rain eventually came and all of us were so happy to see the efforts paid off. Till date, I still have many fond memories of what we do together.
We may face many more challenges in future, be it environmental, social or economical; but if we stay united, help one another and spread the love around, there is nothing Singaporeans cannot overcome. I have utmost faith in the Singapore Spirit and together we will make Singapore a better place to live in, cheers :)
