[Personal] Lunch at Gin Khao + Eco Movie Screening of A Plastic Ocean presented by Marina Bay Alliance

After coaching, boss treated us to lunch at Gin Khao, a Thai restaurant. This is actually the first time we had Thai food with boss because usually we would go for either Chinese or Japanese food. So we thought that he don’t like to eat Thai food. A refreshing choice. 

Food was great and we ended up having a small debate on what fish they used for this dish. 

After work, my mom brought my girl from school to meet me at Raffles Place as I've registered for tickets to an Eco Movie Screening hosted by Marina Bay Alliance. We love having the Kagome juice and this is for the campaign to pledge for a healthier lifestyle with Kagome. 

The film screening was held at Marina One West Tower, Auditorium hall at level 3. Before the film screening, there were some mini workshops booths outside where we can do some tote bag painting, natural scrub making and complimentary Ben & Jerry ice cream. Didn't really take part in these workshops as we were on our way to find dinner. We did have our share of complimentary Ben & Jerry Ice cream ! One thing about this place in the CBD is that dinner options is literally very few. I thought I remembered there's a food court at level 2 but turns out the food court has been replaced by a buffet outlet called Overeat. Looks great but we don't really have enough time to go for buffet so we just settled with some small bites. Have also feedback to the organiser that they should include some F&B booths too . 

A Plastic Ocean is a multi-award winning film where Journalist Craig Leeson teams up with scientists and researchers and diver Tanya Streeter as they travel to twenty locations over a period of four years to explore on the state of the oceans. The main focus of this is on plastic pollution. 

At the end of the movie, there was a Kahoot game and my girl is actually one of the top few and won a mini eco prize. I think she kind of tikam the correct answers to the questions. Went back to have McDonald for late dinner but was being chased out after a while as there was an power shortage or something like that. 

"Eight million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the oceans each year and this threaten both people and wildlife. The plastic crisis is so serious that we could be ingesting around 5 grams of plastic that was found in our diet - that's the weight of a credit card!"
