The sense of
unknown and anticipation filled the air. The weather was wet and gloomy,
the atmosphere, still and quiet. It was beginning to dampen our spirits.
Just then, we heard voices. Soon, more voices and more people arrived.
Despite the heavy rain, many visitors came for the first session of
a series of talks cum slide show presentations for 1999. The rain
finally stopped and the afternoon sun shone brightly. The theatrette
was packed within seconds. |
Sivasothi, our experienced
guest speaker, had no problem getting the audience's attention with his
informative and interesting repertoire. "The Story of Sungei Buloh Nature
Park You Never Knew", highlighted a variety of animals and plants from
mudskippers and crabs to different flora found in Sungei Buloh. Together
with exciting personal experiences from the speaker himself, there was no
dull moment and it was an afternoon well spent. The duration of the talk
was longer than expected but no one seemed to mind.
The talk ended on a high note with many staying back to ask questions. We
are very encouraged by the overwhelming response and encouraging feedback.
All of us are definitely looking forward to many more months of enriching
and entertaining talks. |
