Anyway, the river-keeping was not very good. Firstly, the turnout is bad. 4 J1 and 4 J2 in total. And the J2s are all pulled along by me with 2 non-greenlink members. Wonder how they can manage with 4 people if I don't go? Huimin was also another Harry Potter fan. She bought her book earlier than me and read on train while travelling here. The weather was very bad. It kept raining and at a point of time, we had to stop as the rain was too heavy. While waiting in a shelter, an ant colony dropped from a tree. We were quite excited and curious about it. I said that I have never seen a queen ant before and challenged the people there to go and break the colony. To our surprise, Chengyang accepted the challenge. He said that he was also curious to see the queen ant. He found a branch and used it to break the colony open. Hundreds of red ants rushed out. I thought I saw the queen ant when I saw an ant, 3 times the size of others and has wings. But others quickly pointed out that queen ant don't have wings and we spotted another 6 other same type of ant later. In the end, we still didn't get to see the queen ant. I wonder, what is the job of that type of ant in the colony??? We continued river-keeping when the rain is lighter. A park officer praised us that we are doing a good job when he passes and another curious group of people (which I supposed are foreign as they don't know what is CCA) asked about what we are doing and I spent some time explaining to them. They felt that what we are doing is meaningful after I explained to them. The J2s are far more efficient than the J1s as we picked 17 out of the 24 bags of litters...
Regarding the NKF incident, I felt sad that Durai and all the board members have resigned. It is a big loss to NKF I felt after what he have done for NKF. Personally, I felt that the straits time is rather biased in its report as there are no articles to show about how Durai built up NKF. Instead, it kept focusing on Durai's salary and the luxury items in NKF. Those people protesting about Durai's salary are people I felt totally don't know about the world outside, jing di zi wa (frog in a well), only know how to ren yun yu yun (follows what others are saying). Even SM's wife Mrs Goh also felt that the salary is acceptable. However, I also opposed the way Durai wasted money on luxury items and also not be transparent. "This court case was also the greatest joke of the year," Vincent told me and I agreed. He sued others, gained nothing but lost a lot of things instead...
