Tree Planting Day

This morning, MooMoo went for a 'Tree Planting Day' event.

Lately, it has been raining in Lion City, till flash flood at some parts of Singapore due to raining for hours.  Thank GOD last night it rained heavily the whole night, so this morning the sky is clear but one bad thing is that the ground is super wet and soggy. :p

This is the 1st time MooMoo plant a tree.  Each group of 3 to 4 people is assigned to plant a tree.  All the tools are provided, such as the hoe (cangkul), gloves, nutrient soil, tree sapling and a spot for the tree.  It would be lucky to have guys in your team.  Haha!

This is MooMoo's team's tree - No. 202.  Nice number!  There's 2 guys in MooMoo's team. = )))

There were briefings on the step by step, how you plant a tree.  First, you dig a hole deep enough to put your tree and you can measure with your hoe on the depth of the hole.  Next, you cut the plastic on your tree sapling and shift it into the hole.  After that, you just put back all the soil that you dig out earlier on and try to compact them.  Then, you can pour the nutrient soil all over and around the tree to cover the soil.  Finally, you can water your tree and it's all done.  Sounds easy huh... and the demo from the gardener looks very effortlessly too.

When the work takes place, it ain't that easy.... especially when the soil is wet... what a mess!  It was quite fun though, digging away.  One of the guy actually accidentally step into the hole and create a mess on himself. =.=!!!

You need to be quite strong to shift the tree into the hole.  Luckily with the help of the 2 guys in the team, the tree is in place.  You got to make sure when you put back the soil, the tree is always straight to make sure that it will be going well and stable.

MooMoo planted a tree!  Hahaha... doing her little part in saving the earth, compensating on how she use aircond, which is damaging to the environment, as if it can help much.  Well, better than nothing...

All done and ready to go off and MooMoo's shoes is super dirty and wet.  She had try to clean the best before she head to the gym.  Luckily, she didn't get killed at the gym with her dirty shoes. :p
