Earth Hour?

Earth Hour 2010 is tomorrow!

For individuals to participate in this GLOBAL event, you just got to switch off the lights in your home during that hour.  It's so simple.

While for corporates, you gotta switch off your office lights.  Besides switching off lights, they are ORGANIZING CONCERTS or some SOIREE.

What is the purpose of having Earth Hour when we switch off the lights, there are concerts or events being organized at the shopping malls.  Concerts / Events means using amplifiers, microphones, spotlights, speakers etc.  These puppies take a lot of juice.  Earth Hour has just became another commercialized stunt.

We should boycott these activities, and really switch off everything electronic.  Be together with family and friends in prayer or contemplate about our planet.  This is really saving the environment.

I hope everybody could be part of this move to REALLY HELP our PLANET by doing it right.

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

A Valentine's Which I Forgot

I totally forgotten to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day, due to old age and CNY clogging up the action.

Here's something I wrote and posted from my version 1.0.

------------------------------------------------

Love

The sweetness of its smell,

Washing us with sense of calming;

The richness of the color of its petals,

Making us wondrous and lovely;

The sincerity of its welcoming leaves,

Giving us a sense of being wanted;

The protectiveness of its thorns,

Keeping us safe from harm's way;

The strong supporting stem,

Giving us strength to brave the storm;

The intimacy of the flower,

Bringing us together;

When it blooms,

it will be the most beautiful of all.

------------------------------------------------

Happy Belated Valentines everyone!!! :)

After CNY

Just reached KL after 4 hours of driving.  The highways was having sporadic standstills, only to find out that it was caused by nosy drivers, whom were checking out accidents or cars getting summonses by the police.

When I caught glimpse of the Sungai Buloh Jejantas Pitstop, I knew that CNY celebrations are over for me :(

I guess its not a big deal for me, as it same as every year except my cousins weren't here, and the angpow collection seems to be getting lesser and lesser! 


Back to hustle and bustle of everyday life.  I hope your CNY was a great one!

CNY Exodus

I guess most of everybody would be hitting for the highway today and tomorrow.  Hoping to reach home in time for the annual reunion dinner with the family.

Do take note of the traffic as time draws closer to tomorrow night, the traffic would be murder.  Drive cautiously, keep a distance with the car in front - better to kiss your love one rather than a stranger's car butt, and don't speed - government already gave the police a new toy gun to play that can target cars a kilometre away and it's handheld enabled.

Here are some links that might help you to plan your exodus.
