Song 83 : Earth Hour

So Earth Hour Finally came.
I'm In CRC now.
So its hard to support it.

But i kinda did something silly.
I actually offed the lights in the Bintang Walk (Balcony outside the Canteen)

Somehow, i feel a bit happy, but can feel my pride shattering into pieces as eyes targeted at me,
I could read their faces, screaming "Siao Kia Cho HAmi KUI??????~~~~"

Then they started onning the lights again

SIGH

That definitely didnt went well

But at least that's something
Its the effort that counts

Anyway,
Earth Hour is just like a campaign to create awareness.
The most important thing is that we should understand the true objective behind Earth Hour,
that is to teach us to conserve energy to curb global overheating

Tomorrow, Earth Hour will be no more till next year
but if we truly support Earth Hour, the message will stay in us for life.
If you dont need to use something, off it.
Even if you put it in standby more, it still eats electricity.

If you're listening to songs using your computer, off the monitor
If you're going out of your room, off the fan or air conditioner
If you are bathing in the afternoon, try not to use the water heater
If you want to watch TV, you can watch it without the lights on.
Use energy-saving bulbs, saves electricity (saves the earth and also saves your wallet)

I may not be a 100% environmentalist
but
50%
or even 10%
is good enough.

It takes a little to make a big difference
You may not believe this, but if everybody tries their best to save electricity even by a little,
wouldnt it make the effect huge?
If everyone is 10% environmentalist, wouldnt 10 people make one 100% environmentalist?
So, lets just try our best in this, who knows what miracles we can achieve?

Song 82 : The 3 hours practical

Today i had my 3 hours practical for driving
After my quest to obtain my driving license had been delayed for three months by PLKN, I'm finally continued it.

Things were pretty boring when i got to SEPAKAT (the driving circuit)
Boring....
Boring.......
Boring.........

Luckily i brought a book to read to kill some time.

Later, the instructor came, and it was time to Vroom Vroom!

So i got into the Kancil, sat down and put on the safety belt.
he stared at me as if i was Forest Gump and said "Wear for what??? Dont need la!!~"
So I gawked at him and was "Eeer.... Ok..."

Words of wisdom from a driving istructor:

"Aiyo... Safety belts are for weenies one la... Donit wear also ok one~"

So he said "Go la"
Confused, i was like "Oh? Go you say? Ok lo.. Go ma Go lor..."
Then I dunno what i did, the car jerked a bit
"Aiyor, you see me do first la you... Watch and learn ha~"

So ok lo...
watch and learn ma watch and learn lo....

Then it was my turn again
Driving really isnt as easy as it seems.
Gotta step the clutch, gotta change the gear, gotta release the cluth, and blabla~

So after a while, i think I got used to it a bit, but the instructor had his hand on my steering wheel, controlling it for me, most of the time.
Gosh. I'm fully capable of turning a wheel
its not that i have no hands or what
but i guess its their procedure

So I (we) started driving around the circuit again and again.

Then when i was driving, a butterfly materealised.
"OMG. I'm Gonna bang a Butterlfy!!!!!"
I tried to move the car away by moving the wheel, but the instructor's grip on it was too strong.

WHAP~
The car hit the tiny butterfly...
Poor thing

but lets not be stupid, of coures you cant have a car accident by knocking a butterfly.
and its not like, the other butterflies will come with their ambulance and put the banged one on a stretcher and rush it to the nearest hospital for treatment.
In fact, you cant even hurt a butterfly that way~

So leave the butterfly part aside.

Then there was a little bird on the circuit road.
Tried moving my car away, but once again, the instructor!!

Vroom~
I dont really know what exactly happened nor did I see any flattened object on the road,
so i assume nothing happened.

then we went rounds and round (more that 10 times i think)
until it was over,





so i got down and felt lucky that i did not knock into anything...







except a butterfly

Song 81 : Yiruma

If you love piano songs,
try listening to Yiruma.
he's so damn good.

His pieces are alive and if you were to close your eyes and use your imagination,
you will find yourself in whole new realm, so far from the eyes of the world.

And i think my sis would love it, since she is so crazy over Bella's lullaby.
