Why Rubberseed?

I was helping out with a senior's research at a stream in MacRitchie Reservoir during my university days. While waiting for the rain (we were comparing run-off between forested areas VS urban environment), I heard several loud sounds, "tack", "tack", "tack". Upon investigation with my teammates, we discovered that the rubber trees were "dispersing" their matured rubber seeds from the casing.

It was amazing seeing how the waxy rubber seeds & boat-like casing float down the river! I collected some of the rubberseeds then, and till today, I still have them on my car's dashboard.

I chose "A Rubberseed's Journey" to represent myself, as just a like the rubberseeds that I saw floating along the river, I am now embarking on an exciting journey in my life. One day, I will eventually settle down on a bank and start to grow and mature. And just like a rubber tree, I hope to be useful, where my knowledge and experience can be of help to others.
