Meeting (22th of October)

On the 22nd of October, a meeting was held to serve it's purpose as a continuation of the meeting held on the previous day. Just like an addictive soap opera, all the drama that happens can't be solved in one measly episode. In our case, our water irrigation malfunction created too big a mess to be fixed in one day. We all walked to the herbs garden slightly wary of what awaits us, yet slightly hopeful at the same time, hoping that in our absence, our makeshift drain which cut into the grass would have fixed itself, or that the overturned soil in our herbs garden would have miraculously restored themselves to their former positions. No. Such. Luck.

It was up to us to put the tiles back where they belong, and close up the drain cutting across the grass. Since the harsh and unpredictable weather has also damaged our herbs garden's shelter, we also fixed it, using gardening wire. I have to admit that it looks much better now that it previously looked.

We then made our way to the Fruit Orchard to weed and water the plants. There, we also had an impromptu soccer cum handball match. We left our match for the Mini Eco Forest after a while, where we watered the plants and removed the plastic bottles protecting the barks of the trees from the blades of grass-cutters because some trees have outgrown the plastic bottles in terms of girth. We also removed damaged plant labels to be replaced.

To end a fairly relaxing day, we once again discussed the Eco Drum Circle and our Eco Song in the gallery. More lyrics were added to the song, and we have decided to use the melody of 'Sempurna' for our Eco Song. We also decided to sing the 'Green Song' after singing our Eco Song, and practiced complimenting our Eco Drum beats to the aforementioned songs. We sounded decent, considering that our little concert was impromptu and our instruments, improvised. Eishatur was even utilising the leg of the bench!

Here's to a great performance on the day of the carnival which will dazzle and charm the shoes off our spectators.
