Earth Hour 2009 - Aftermath

The Earth Hour for year 2009 have passed. 

Did you do your part as an Earthling?

Here's some videos about last night's Earth Hour around the world. 

KLCC， Malaysia

Bird Nest, China

And one of the starting point of Earth Hour, 

Sydney, Australia

Earth Hour 2009. Tonight it is.

One of the most important events to mark on today's world: Earth Hour.

This year's theme :"Vote Earth; Your Light Switch is your Vote"

It's basically an election between 2 candidates: The Earth, and Global Warming. And we, the residents of Earth, is the voters.

How?

It's simple: Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming.

Every single vote counts. Vote for The Earth.

(by switching off your lights)

Earth Hour is definitely a meaningful event for the planet Earth, to face and fight the truth of global warming.

If you are interested, and wanted to know more about it (or even take part in it), visit Earth Hour's official site,

OR

Click Here. It was an introduction post about Earth Hour I wrote on year 2008 back then.

"So, what exactly is Earth Hour? It is created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming."

28th of March, 830pm - 930pm of your local time. Wherever you are, switch off your lights.

To-be-Rebooted

Hey everybody,

it's been awhile isn't it?

since... since my... my last...

well, you know what I mean.  <=]

Well, I'm now preparing for the reboot of this blog. (Note: This is good. Lolz.) 

No, not right away, maybe a couple of days later. I mean, I'll need some time to change some of the stuffs here right? The arrangement, the layout, the style and the feel, maybe. (or maybe I'll just keep the same old Art of Thirteen XD )

And these are the things, or the topics, you'll expect to see, here, in the future: My thoughts/opinion about something, some meaningful facts/stories worth sharing, and maybe some funny stuffs, like jokes or funny pics....

So...

%

Noticed something few days ago.

Look at this.

%

okay you know what this sign means right?

Now take a look at this.

½

and....

look at this again:

%

noticed any similarities?

Yea, what I'm trying to show is, the percentage sign kind of looks like a fraction of zero-zero.

I wonder if this is where the percentage sign came from. Lolz.

Homograph

One question:

Use only ONE word to relate Egyptian & Mother.

........

.....

..

The answer is Mummy.

X)

Let's try another one.

Piano & Lock

.....

...

THINK!

...

...

Answer : KEY (there are KEYs on a piano, and you use a KEY to open locks)

Interesting huh?

x)

You see, "Mummy" and "Key" are what we called Homograph.

It's a word which have two or more meanings, but it is always spelled the same. Eg: the word "tank" can be used in "army tank", or "water tank", both with same spelling, but different meanings.

Credit goes to Dr. Pascale Michelon who created this. =]

Pas-ture

No, I'm not talking about the padang rumput thingy pasture. What I mean by Pas-ture here is Past & Future, which when we combine both words, we get Pas-ture. ^^ .. (.... -____-)

Let's talk about Past first.

Past, would be a massive collection of yesterday; It is the source of our memory; It is the today of our future. In reality, we are always in the losing of our "now" to our past. In fact, each and every second we are having right now is becoming a past.

Now let's talk about futures.

We are living in a world filled with unknown, we live and breathe every single day, for our future. The never-ending search for future started light years ago, however, future never comes - there is always a future. We are never going to 'reach' the future.

Day and night we live with the everlasting embracement of past and future.
How far is our past? How far is our future?
Past and future prison our heart.

Which past happened for our future? Which future happens because of our past?

Past is unchangeable, Future is unpredictable

Past is a truth, future is a belief.

.

Past is embellished by tears, Future is embraced by fear.
Future will be the past, Past was once the future.

Tomorrow is the day after tomorrow of yesterday.
