8:22 The Pledge Moment

When was the last time you took the pledge? I did that for 12 years from Primary to Secondary School and another 3 years when I was teaching. After that it was I think once in a blue moon. Back in school we were taught about the pledge and why it is important for all Singaporeans to know it. Its part of our education and believe in the meaning and history of Singapore and the pledge (and national anthem) that brought us this far, being independent for 44 years and still going strong as a Nation. Since this year’s NDP focus is our Pledge, and 24seven being their partner, I attempted to do a video in support of the Pledge Moment. And here’s the result of a almost 20minutes struggle infront of my isight…

I know, you must be laughing your socks off right now. What’s so difficult about taking the pledge? No its not. Its the mind taking control of the whole recording and with Diana sitting right infront of me sure makes it even more difficult! But I did it and here’s the proper video with subtitle (in case you don’t understand my bad English pronunciation).

Now that you’ve watched me do it, you can do it too and win a NDP09 Funpack! Yes! Over at 24seven, we are giving out 15 Funpacks to those who complete the video and tasklist. Go check it out here. You’ve got till 12 Aug 2009 to submit your entry. I want to give you funpacks! Go get it will you? Go! Go!! Go!!!

I’ve got 4 pairs of super cool limited edition rings to giveaway!

In support for better health and breathe, I’ve agreed to help plug this for a friend of mine. And these rings are just very unique lah! Another way of wearing this is to slide a finger each with your love one. Redefine “Two becomes one”. Ermm… off topic… back to the ring.

A total of 3,000 pieces of “Live It Up Without Lighting Up” limited edition rings have been specially produced in commemoration of World No Tobacco Day 2009.

Each ring is meant to fit 2 fingers. By wearing the ring on the middle and index fingers, you commit to “Live It Up Without Lighting Up”. If you have any friend or family member who smokes, you can also pass the ring to them to encourage him/her to quit smoking.

Here’s one way how you can get hold of the ring:

1. Go to Rockin’ Without Smokin’ event at Plaza Singapura, Open Plaza between 29 and 31 May 09 happening from 6pm to 10pm.
2. Get a questionnaire from either the “Grim Reaper” or the YAH volunteers.
3. Complete the form as you walk down the Experiential exhibition.
4. Return the completed form at the end of the Experiential exhibition (“Fresh Air garden”) and you will be given the ring. While stocks last!

More details can also be found HERE.

ORRRR!!! If you can’t be at Plaza Singapura on those dates, you can fill up the form below and I’ll send the rings over to you! I’ve got 4 pairs to giveaway! If there are more than four submissions, I will conduct a draw to determine who’ll get the rings. This giveaway will end on Sunday at 10pm or when I receive 10 (my favorite number) requests, whichever comes first. (Note: I will only be sending out to local addresses.)
