Were you at the Live It Up Without Lighting Up event at Plaza Singapura on 29 May? If you were, good for you! If not, WHY! You missed out yo. I’d like to give a big shout out to everyone who doesnt smoke because did you know that every stick that is lighted up releases 4000 chemicals of which 400 are poisonous and about 60 are cancer causing!

So, how is it possible to live life to the fullest when you’re breathing polluted air? Last Saturday, 2 days ahead of World No Tobacco Day, the Health Promotion Board, with the help of Mediacorp 987fm radio, showed us exactly how we can all live it up without lighting up via a Great Audio Experience.

While the other ambassadors were at various locations such at Heeren, Orchard Central and SMU doing their moving flash mob stunts, I was stationed at Plaza Singapura where the real party was! No voices in my head telling me what to do. Hahaha. The Hip Hop competition was housed here and so were various FREE booths!

I got myself a free tote bag and tee-shirt while waiting for the other groups to return. When they finally did, the party started with performances and giveaways! Us four ambassadors, however, got whisked away to be radio interviewed and we also got to rub shoulders with some very important people.

While Mister Young from 987fm interviewed us, 4 mascots representing the 4 messages went about the area encouraging people to stub out their cigarettes. 4 important and relevant reasons for you to stay smoke free:
- Better Spending Power without Lighting Up
- Better Looks without Lighting Up
- Better Fitness without Lighting Up
- Better Environment without Lighting up
The 4 messages that Shawn, Fay, Ben and I represent respectively.

We live it up without lighting up for the Earth, for better looks, for better spending power and better fitness. How do you live it up?
