Hello!
i just read xiaxue's and theresa's blogs, and i felt that blogger is the perfect place to spread awareness.
(i'll include their links later in the post, view because they're fun bloggers)
I'm so happy for Singapore zoo's recent inhabitant, the Pandas!
After a six-month-long nationwide contest, the names of Singapore’s two cuddliest and soon-to-be “permanent residents” have been selected from nearly 1,000 entries submitted by the public last year.
A judging panel picked Kai Kai (凯凯) and Jia Jia (嘉嘉) as the new names for the two Giant Panda cubs as they bear special significance of the close relationship between Singapore and China. The names Kai Kai (凯凯) and Jia Jia (嘉嘉) won by a clear majority of the judges’ votes.
“Kai Kai”, the name for the male giant panda, was chosen as it means victorious in Chinese (as in 凯旋, 凯歌). For the female giant panda, Jia Jia means beautiful and fine.
On another level, the Chinese character Jia (嘉) was used in the old Chinese reference for Singapore (星嘉坡) and the phonetic pronunciation of Jia is equivalent to the Mandarin pronunciation of the Chinese character 加, which is not only an integral part of Singapore’s current Chinese name (新加坡), but also means “to add” – representing the wish to expand the giant panda family in Singapore through a successful breeding programme at WRS.
“We can refer to our giant pandas by name, and that is an exciting development for us, especially since these names were submitted by Singaporeans. These are meaningful and beautiful names, chosen to reflect the symbolic ties we have with China, and the future these pandas will have in Singapore. People here have shown tremendous support for our giant panda conservation programme and we hope the community will continue to demonstrate their commitment to wildlife conservation,” said Ms Claire Chiang, Chairman, WRS.
these information differs from theresa's blog, so i don't guarentee credibility, but that's the general story.
I made my pledge to save them from extinction, have you?
(omg pardon my formal language i feeling-feeling advertisor; not that i want to do that but hehehe)
advertising blogs quite boring, no?
not boring, more to inflexible, i guess.
okay ignore me just save the pandas.
let me repeat that:
SAVE THE PANDAS
because they are cute and they're my mum's favourite animals, (probably many out there too)
also take public transportation and spread awareness!
Ain said (she said) that jia jia and kai kai are coming today around four.
her dad's friends had to go through tests to drive the pandas safely to the zoo (or anywhere they're supposed to go)
I hope they reach safely!
So excited to see them muahahahaha.
maybe i can teach them kung fu and feed them peaches, even though they like apples.
okay this post is too wordy so i shall run and scurry and whatever else i can do.
therefore!
