HerbalLife

One stride into the hall was all it took.

I instantaneously felt like Baloo from one of Walt Disney’s most lovable classics, “The Jungle Book”. (I bet the song ‘the bare necessities’ is ringing in your head now, aint it?)


The deco team deserved an award for successfully creating a miniature Amazon right in the heart of UniSA’s City West campus. The brilliant display of eye-soothing green was demonstrated in a spectrum of leaves, flowers, twigs, branches and anything one could think of that’s synonymous to the theme for the night – HERBAL LIFE.

But then I wondered- Herbal Life. What’s the connection? What was it all about? And I bet my bottom dollar that a vast majority of the people who attended the meeting were probably at the same wavelength as I was.

Herbal Life is basically a health product which assists in creating a balanced and healthy diet by emphasizing the usage of herbs and other natural ingredients, with the goal of acquiring good health.

Ps Chiew Har spoke on how our lives resemble the products of herbal life, where there has to be a balance in all components, be it the physical, emotional, spiritual, ethical or other components. It then all made perfect sense.

As everyone reflected on the areas of their lives which needed to be brought back to balance, the hall was filled with angelic voices as the OxyGen choir sang “How I love You”.

Everyone started working on their social component after the meeting ended by a great chatter over a healthy nibble of carrot and cucumber sticks along with some slightly less-healthy biscuits dipped in cream cheese and sweet chilly sauce. Who said healthy food was gross?

However, the greasy food returns, with Mamak Night just around the corner!

What else can I say?

See you there!!
