			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a while since I last blogged about my daily life. Most of the time it&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t have much of a blogworthy life outside of work. But this time, it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve been spending most of my time out, I haven&#8217;t found time to sit down to write. <img src='http://nanyate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2>Company Plant-a-tree Program</h2>
<p>So my company organized a plant-a-tree program where a couple hundred of us went to Singapore&#8217;s Nature Reserves to plant some saplings. (I didn&#8217;t realize Singapore had nature reserves before this! *embarassed*) This was actually an eye-opening experience for me, and got me to appreciate nature a lot more than I ever did, so it deserves an entry on its own&#8230;some other time. <img src='http://nanyate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<h2>SOYJOY Award Ceremony and Dinner</h2>
<p>So the really fun SOYJOY GI Joy Blogger Challenge has come to an end. A big thank you for those of you who have supported me!</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://ivytan.net/nanyate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/soyjoybloggers.jpg" alt="SOYJOY Singapore Brand Ambassadors" title="soyjoy-bloggers" class="photo" /><br />The SOYJOY Blogger Family: <a href="http://hisfoodblog.com">Rayner</a>, <a href="http://euniqueflair.com">Eunice</a>, <a href="http://nadnut.com">Nadia</a>, <a href="http://nanyate.com">me</a> and <a href="http://honeymeow.blogspot.com">Pamela</a>.</p>
<p>The winners of the challenge are Nadia and Eunice. They are flying of the Japan as I write this entry! Congratulations! <img src='http://nanyate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The day after the awards ceremony, the 5 of us had dinner at <a href="http://sprucechef.blogspot.com/">Spruce</a> with the guys from Ogilvy and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://ivytan.net/nanyate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/soyjoydinner.jpg" alt="Dinner with SOYJOY Bloggers, Otsuka Pharmaceuticals and Ogilvy" title="soyjoy-dinner" width="450" height="300" class="photo" /></p>
<h2>Tangs Blogathon</h2>
<p>Last Friday night, I made a pitstop at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangs">Tangs</a>, a local upscale-ish department store to support some of the local bloggers, who had to blog for 24 hours at the department store windows in the middle of the Singapore&#8217;s busiest shopping district, Orchard Road.</p>
<p>LOL! It was definite a sight to feast upon. <em>Pictures to be added later. </em></p>
<h2>Nature Hike at Southern Ridges</h2>
<p>As I was saying earlier, the plant-a-tree program had really etched the beauty of nature in my mind enough that I forced myself to wake up at 7am on a Sunday morning to walk the <a href="http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/index.php?option=com_visitorsguide&#038;task=attractions&#038;id=62&#038;Itemid=73">Southern Ridges</a>, which is this 9KM trail across a few parks and nature reserves in Singapore.</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t think I would survive the whole 9km, so I started midway at <a href="http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/index.php?option=com_visitorsguide&#038;task=parks&#038;id=17&#038;Itemid=73">HortPark</a> and walked all the way to VivoCity to have lunch at <a href="http://marche.moevenpick.com/#/betriebssuche/empty/-1/empty/en/">Marché</a>.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s it for now. I&#8217;m working on a few surprises. Stay tuned. <img src='http://nanyate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
