This probably my last few hours before Earth Hour Day begins for me. The last dash to the finish line. Calling all citizen of Earth. Fellow earthling, place your VOTE for EARTH. If you don’t than you don’t deserve to be on Earth.
Mother Earth, Gaia will be watching as to how you place your vote. Every vote counts. Start switching off those lights. Let’s enjoy nature, candle light dinner or better yet bbq with friends. Cheers.

Received a notice from TNB regarding upgrading of electricity supply at my premise. Supply of electricity will be temporarily interrupted between 9am to 6pm on the 28th March 2009. There you see…. it’s going to be Earth Day Hours for me. Not only 1 hour but additional 9 hours. :0
Here is to count down to Earth Hour 2009 and in my case Earth Day Hours. Light those candles and bring out those hand held papan fan. Here’s my VOTE FOR EARTH. Thanks to TNB.

Today, 22nd March 2009 is World Water Day. Truth be told, I didn’t know there was such a thing. We all need water to survive. It is the basic requirement for all life on earth, yet water are facing increasing demands from, and competiton among users. Malaysian should be thankful that
we have clean and affordable water at the moment. If we do not cherish the little and simple things we have we will never appreciate the great
and good things later. Water give life and for that reason, people settle along riverbank, propogate and town and cities florished. Let us work together to take better care of our rivers and oceans so that our future generation will still be able to have clean water to drink and there will
still be fishes in the sea. Take good care of mother earth.
“Water is life’s mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.”
~ Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
World Water Day started in 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment & Developement in Rio de Janeiro. It has been observerd every year since 1993 to draw attention to the importance of fresh water, particularly for the nearly 1 billion people without access to clean drinking water and the 2.5 billion without proper sanitation. The Theme for 2009 is Transboundary waters : sharing water, sharing opportunities. We call attention to waters that cross borders and link us together. To read more here.
Have a Great Sabbath and conserve water.

So… what is the big deal about this thingie call EARTH HOUR ? Well, it’s actually a specific time and date where participating countries will switched off their light for an hour. This year Malaysia will join a group of other countries in doing it on the 28 March, 2009 at 8.30pm to 9.30pm (Malaysian time) If you chose to flick the switch you are voting for Earth and if you refuse than you are voting for global warming. I find it to be great promotional way to encourage people to conserve energy and trying to do this together does show brotherhood among humankind. This event is bought to you by WWF (World Wildlife Fun) and they are encouraging people of Earth to VOTE for EARTH. They are targeting for 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.
Earth Hour started in Sdyney in 2007 where 2.2 miliion household and business switched off their lights for one hour. 2008 saw it turned into a global sustainable movement where more than 50 million people switching off their lights. 2009, over 70 countries and territories has pleadge their support to VOTE FOR EARTH. Take your stand now.
“If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.”
— Malcolm X
What is so difficult about switching off your light for an hour ? Just think of it as a romantic time together with your love one with candles or just enjoy the night sky. By switching off your light you have taken the pledge to stand by EARTH.

I’ve been a fan of Nickelback for quite a while now and would like to share with you all this song by them. Why the title “If everyone cared!” ? Mainly because someday when you wakeup, you just feel as if the whole world is against you. You wonder if a small insignificant “little you” can do any changes at all. Take for example the planet earth where you can keep on harping about greening the planet, don’t burn your rubbish, recycle, do 3R, etc. Then you come across a song like this one and you truly wish that everyone will really care about the things that matter and not what’s the lastest fad.
Here is an inspirational quote to make you feel -hey…. I can make a difference.
“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”
— Dalai Lama XIV
IF EVERYONE CARED BY NICKELBACK
If Everyone Cared lyrics
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you’d be mine
But here we are, we’re here tonight
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day when nobody died
And I’m singing Amen
Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We’ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
(I’m alive)
[Chorus x2]
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day when nobody died
When nobody died…
[Chorus]
We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day when nobody died
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
