earth hour


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. Earth hour was conceived by WWF and The Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights.[1] Following Sydney's lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008.[2][3] Earth Hour 2010 will take place on March 27, 2010 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., local time.

last year, my house was in darkness for an hour. we walked out to check our neighbours. only my opposite house switched off the lights. others were brightly lit. muahaha! we only kept the fan moving as it was quite hot.

this year, i have a party to attend. will the host switch off the light? hehe. shall see tomorrow!

my beloved mode of transport "observed" earth hour much earlier. last night, there was a power failure in between Labu & Seremban stations, causing delay to train schedules. i was on the way home when i heard the announcement. i considered myself lucky as my station was not affected. better delayed than cancelled. pity those who have to return to Labu & Seremban. they had to find alternative way to go home. *kesian*


#1 : the KTM stations


#2 : the affected stations last night

this morning, there was another power failure in between stations. i heard the announcement when the train stopped at MidValley. this round, Sg Buloh & Kuang.

#3 : the affected stations this morning

My mid life crisis in Y2016

Y2016, I have decided to resign. After 14 years, I needed a break. It's not that I didn't like what I was doing, just that I would like to take a break. And just do nothing. Or maybe something... As I handed my resignation letter to my 2 bosses (ex now), both accepted it quite calmly. Only one was more surprised. But nevertheless, she accepted my reason for leaving. So, what reason did I give them? I told them my sisters & I were discussing of opening a yoga centre on our own. Since it's own business, there is no reason for them holding me back. My sisters and I were not the aggressive type. We took our own sweet time in making plan. Where should we open? Kajang? KL? Near home? Far from home? What type of classes? etc.. We even consulted a friend (a fengshui master) about our plan. He said, "Just do it! What are you girls waiting for??" He even advised us to open in KL area as the return will be higher and we would have different exposure with different ...
