In a previous post about the “Litter Munchers Design-A-Bin Contest”, I mentioned that Edmund Chen and I would be doing something special together on the 5th of December at Bukit Panjang Plaza. Yes indeed! It was a day to remember, because we did an anti-littering skit in front of a live crowd at the “North West Clean & Green Singapore Carnival 2011”! 

I was asked by NEA to come up with a skit a few weeks ago, so I got Ninette to help write the script, and gathered a group of MADERs to act in it too. Basically it was a skit to educate the public about littering and about “Litter-Free Ambassadors”.

I don’t have many photos with me, so I’ll just post a few.

and finally… Group photo! 

 

I’m sure it was just another day for Edmund, I mean he’s one of Mediacorp’s finest actors. He didn’t even need to look at the script much, it’s all inpromptu. No sweat for him. But I was quite a bag of nerves!

The thing is, I’ve never done a skit before! Not even in a school play or something. I’ve given speeches, I’ve hosted quite a few public events, I’ve performed, but nope, I’ve never done a skit! So it was something really new to me and an interesting experience.

Nonetheless, it was fun, and we pulled it off. Edmund told me about a few upcoming projects he has that he’d like to collaborate on. Something to look forward to! =D

Anyway, have you seen those TV commercials, where the litter bugs get blown away by the fat lady? Well, I have that skill now. I’m now a Litter-Free Ambassador too! Don’t let me catch you littering! =p
