Clean & Green Singapore >>> EcoMusic Challenge

There is much hype recently about Saving the Earth or Saving Gaia in short. As much as I can do personally, I would save the earth by sending out emails and not printing them unless necessary and cut down the usage on plastic bags by using recycle bags instead.

NEA has recently launch an EcoMusic Challenge to discover local talents who have the passion and interest in composing music to inspire clean and green living to the public to save the earth.

13 finalists were selected for the final challenge at Orchard Central, and it was successfully concluded on the 27 August 2011... The winners were :

Champion : Lee Fengheng - World Without Fences
1st runner-up :Julian Kwok - Love for Planet Earth
2nd runner-up : Darren Lee & Yap Rei Horng - 早安你好!

NEA collaborated on the 15 eco songs with home-grown talents into an album - EcoMusic Challenge Season 2 featuring the Clean & Green Singapore 2012 theme song : World without Fences...

Let me share my thoughts and views for the top 3 winners' music pieces... 

World Without Fences by Lee Fengheng 

Light-hearted rhythm with beautiful lyrics, and the music is well-arranged... I love how the music flows which telling us that we need to do something for our mother earth RIGHT NOW...

Love for Planet Earth by Julian Kwok

The lyrics is meaningful, this song can really send out a message to us to save the earth. Kinda touched while listening to the song, music arrangement was pretty good.

 早安你好! by Darren Lee & Yap Rei Horng

I love the combination of Bilingual lyrics in this song, which really makes it feel home-grown song. Catchy tunes with nice music groove that will linger with me for sometime after listening.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically the whole album, you can feel that there is a mixture fast-pace music of the easy listening genre. All the lyrics written is to urge us to show some love to the earth that we are living in right now. 

After listening, I was impressed with our local talents as their songs were well written and composed... Kudos to all the people who are involved in this album set up. As we are part of the mother earth, let us do our best to protect her as 'GO GREEN' starting from you and me.

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment, and I was

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence!

The common scalp problems can cause a lot of irritation, but also hair loss. I was in complete shock at the state of my nightmarish infected scalp! One must make a huge effort to take good care of your scalp. Hence here I am at Jonsson Protein for their signature VE Protein Hair Treatment.

She also explained that my scalp was pretty oily, and my scal
