According to the Earth Hour official website, they gave some suggestions...
Here are 10 different ways to spend Earth Hour and reduce your carbon footprint:
1. Attend a local Earth Hour event or organise your own by throwing an Earth Hour street party with your neighbours
2. Gather family & friends for a night picnic in your local park and look at the stars
3. Enjoy a family dinner by candlelight
4. Organise a treasure hunt in the dark
5. Take the dog for a night walk
6. Have a candle-lit bath
7. Sit in the dark and share stories
8. Organise a family night playing board games
9. Share a romantic night in with your loved one
10. Upload your ‘on the night’ photos and videos to flickr and YouTube respectively, and then add them to the Earth Hour flickr group and the global YouTube Group.
Of all the suggestions, point 1, 2, 4, 5 are out due to the rain. Point 6, it's kinda cooling from the rain I think a bath not so practical...
No 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 sounds ok and not too bad.
Haha no main lights also got other sources of lights like from the PC, tv and hp...
Since I live at my house no.7, I will most likely to be doing no. 7. :P
p/s: well, i didn't really perform no.7 but i sort of cleaned my pc while watching tv :D

Chinese Niu Year
This year is the Ox year, which is my zodiac.
I plan to attend the Penang State CNY celebrations. I was there last year (Year of the Rat).
That time, it was before the March general election and the VIPs attended were Gerakan members. This year, I will be seeing PKR members instead. :p
Anyway, I look forward to see the Ox sculpture which will displayed at Khoo Kongsi. I saw in the papers that it only weighed 1 kg but since it's bulky; 3 people are needed to move it.
"Goo ni" must take Ox pictures!

My Christmas Wish List
For this year's Christmas, I hope to get a watch. :)
My budget is not more than RM250. Well, if it's a present of course I don't mind the price tag. lol
The thing is, I'm going to sponsor myself so I better choose one I really like and kind to my pocket.
I know there are many choices with that budget but it seems that there are too many and I can't make up my mind. If I were to browse through the internet like the ones I picked below, I can narrow down my choices. (Coz I read those description and details of the watches). However, if I were to browse them in shops which are aplenty with discounts and wide range of choices, I will have difficulty picking the ultimate one. Watches on display in shops are soo attractive and many!
Casio's range seems affordable. I like this one:
The one a bit out of my budget but I like even more is the DKNY.
Both watches are for different occasions, one more casual, the other more formal/elegant looking. Buy both?? Arghhh...no. Must choose one only. One...

tasks
I've been feeling down... It's the urgent and neverending things that keep coming in that made me busy. Well, being busy is better than having nothing to do.
Being busy in a short period of time is good. But I feel that all these stuff is just going to be coming in and in. I have too many things stuffed in and no time to digest. Having said that... i think i'm just tired.
I need a break from this routine and some fun. :) Life is precious. Live it to the fullest.

Rainy days, sleepy days
The raining season is most ideal for curling up in bed to sleep. Especially when it's weekends, I get to sleep to my hearts content and not worrying of waking up to go to work. hehe
But since I've gotten used to sleep at 11 something and waking up at 6.45 am, I'm also waking up at the same time during weekends...sigh.. but at least I can get some extra sleep during the evening :)
Oh ya, just to update bout my new baby nephew, born on 5th Oct 2008. The same day as my supervisor's birthday, who turned 28. Yesterday, me and friends went to his Hari Raya open house at SP. ;)
Now I have a total of 3 (1 niece and 2 nephews) this year.
Oh, it's Monday once again..:(
But My Birthday is on Tuesday! Whee!

mid-September
Time flies really fast and it's already mid-September. Today is already the 14th and in two days time, 16. :p What will happen 2 days later? Well, I dunno.
So what happened today, on the 14th September, 23 years ago? My mom can vividly and proudly tell everyone that the Penang bridge first opened it's traffic on this date. Because exactly one month from 14th Sept I was born. So she was on the Penang bridge, with me inside the tummy taking photos when there were much much lesser cars there on the bridge as compared to now.
It's amazing how special dates can create history. It can be history to the country or to an individual.
On the 19th, it will be one of my bestest friend's wedding. She was one of the friends I knew when I first entered secondary school. She sat beside me in Form 1. I will always remember that she would always bring things to sell in school. Her late single mother used to sell stationery in a primary school and after school, she would go over to her mother's place to help out. She would bring those colourful gel pens, hair pins, fan(those plastic ones), notebooks, bookmarks, zig-zag scissors and other things to see if we are interested to buy them. I will always be the first customer. Ha ha. I bought many colourful Pentel gel pens from her and till today I still have them. After 10 years a few of these pens still can be used. I used them for plotting graphs during Form 6 General paper. lol. Whenever there was a spot check in school, she would hide all those stuff behind the classroom (and outside the classroom). Those were the good old days...
Since then, we barely kept in touch until she completed her studies. When she was working two years back, she called me and invited me to her birthday party. That was when she told me her mother had passed away from cancer. I felt pity for her as she had to live on her own and support herself. Now, she found someone to take care of her and I can sense how happy she is now. May you have happiness always and I wish you all the best in life, Michelle.

Nice weekend
This weekend, I'm not going to let it past by just like that. Well, every weekend is almost the same so why bother? Ah, just that Monday is a holiday. Sunday is Independence Day, so time to have some relaxation and activities.
August came and go quickly. Just a recap, I mention before that I'm going to be aunt 3X this year...Yep, my nephew was born on 6Aug2008! Yay!
Next will be another baby boy which will be somewhere in October. Now onwards must keep track of their birth dates!! muahaha... This niece and nephews are from my dad's side. My mom's side, a nephew which was born on 28Nov2002, which means he's entering Year 1 primary next year.
August was when I officially graduated. And I it is the month where I spend the MOST money too...in the history of my life. :p August too, the most memorable month in this year.
Besides that in working, I think it is the busiest too, since 3 months I have worked.
Next, the most talked by-election in Malaysia's history. That was the day I went to Kedah to work, when Penangites got a holiday. LOL. I left early and was lucky to not being caught in the jam. Since that day, things have not really settled yet and many dramas are going to unfold soon.
