Minutes to Midnight

Photobucket

60 Earth Hour. I'm sure all of you have heard of it before. It was on last saturday (28/03/09). 60 Earth Hour was much publicised, promoted, endorsed and advocated by many groups both governmental and non-governmental (Celebrities included).

Sure it's good to switch off your lights and electrical appliances for that short one hour. I'm sure almost all who read this had participated. Yes I participated too by switching off all my electrical appliances and visited the nearby mamak stall for my dinner.

After some serious thinking on this event, I feel that this is just a very small step in saving our world. How much do you think we can help by just switching off all our electrical appliances for one hour on one day? We do that almost everyday. But still the rising tides of global warming are still on their way up. Icebergs are still melting. Polar bears are still killing each other out of stress. Monkeys are still sleeping with me. How far can we push back the clock of our impending doom? A few months? A few years? Sure it does create awareness. Some are using this to excuse themselves from doing far worse things to Mother earth. Some will say, "I already did my part in 60 Earth Hours" and still waste paper/electricity/resources on a daily basis. To sum it all up, IS THERE ANY GOOD IN 60 EARTH HOUR?

I don't think so. Come on people, if we are really serious about saving our planet, we need to do more. To all those body who took part in promoting 60 Earth Hour, do pressure our Government to tighten and enforce the laws on environmental issues, introduce a waste separation bill and enforce it, give incentive to industries who promotes & PRACTICES environmental-friendly methods and further promote recycling among the public. We too, as the RAKYAT must know our own responsibilities. Separate our waste, switch off any electrical appliances which are not in use and recycle. If all of us do their own part, I'm very sure the effect would be greater than 60 Earth Hour.

Lunch @ Grand Kampar

When you have friends who always joke with you, you can't really trust what they say word for word. A dog might turn into a monkey. A treat may mean bananas. But something special happened yesterday. Something they don't usually do.. One of them, Mr Perry Puan, (Yes his surname is Puan, now stop laughing.) treated all 5 of us to lunch at Grand Kampar Hotel. You heard it right, the Grand Kampar Hotel. Unfortunately, we were still students and still had to depend on our parents for money. So it wasn't any lavish banquet. Nevertheless, it was still a treat from Mr Puan. We accepted it wholeheartedly.

As we enter the main door, the staffs standing there were giving us the 'You-don't-belong-here-stare'. We pay no attention to them and walked toward the cafe on the left. Mr Puan told the usher, "Set lunch, 5 persons" in a very boss-like manner. Soon we were being shown our seats and a bowl of sup and cups of tea were being served to us. We even joked that we were now at the same level with the lecturers as UTAR lecturers are known to stay in the rooms above and dine here. A few minutes later, our main meal came out from the kitchen one by one. I ordered 'Fish Fillet with Golden Butter'. It was actually butter fried fish and damn it was one of the best fish meat I've ever tasted in Kampar. Sorry no pictures were taken as I couldn't help wolfing down my fish. It was worth the whole RM5.

Mr Puan footed the bill before we left the place. I shall return to Grand Kampar Hotel for lunch. I hope the same great taste stays the same. I'm missing Penang food.

All that is gold does not glitter

This 3rd generation Accord was spotted wearing a gold suit in Tesco Penang. Check out the interior! Even the steering wheel is gold. Oh, do look properly at the gear stick and the handbrake. The gear stick is fabricated to look like a 18th century gun while the handbrake is modified to look like a pirate's cutlass.

Maybe the driver is the goldman who sits in Bukit Bintang with a gold suit on.

Lelong! Lelong lelong lelong!!

This really made my day and brought me out from those moody-no-goody mood.

For sale: nagging wife, very high maintenance

A British man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale -- and got a number of offers.

"Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance -- some rust," wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods.

Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna on got on his nerves while she was watching television and decided to place the ad as a joke.

"She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her.

"I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew -- just people asking, 'Is she still available?'"

The couple only married last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife -- whom he advertised in the magazine's Free to Collect section, along with some of his fishing tackle -- initially gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing."

But he said: "She's seen the funny side of it now though!"

Life cut short...

It was so sudden. I thought it was a sick joke when I heard about it. A sick joke about a friend dying. As we made several calls later to confirm what happened, we found out the joke wasn't a joke after all. It came so sudden. I don't believe it. I don't want to believe it.

I went down with a couple of my friends to the house. Two coffins were laid there. Side by side. In front of it, was two pictures of people who I just saw a few weeks back in Kampar. As I looked into the caskets, the face looking back at me was a far cry from what I remember of both my friends. They were pale and was covered in thick make-up. What made this even worse was they were just beginning their life. This is the first funeral of a friend that I've attended. They are just 20. And one of them just celebrated their birthday a few weeks ago.

Both of them, Lup Man and Janice Saw passed on yesterday morning while being transfered from Kampar Hospital to Ipoh Hospital. They were involved in a horrible car accident. It was rumoured that it happened at a bend after Petronas Kampar and before the junction out to Kampar Old Town and Ipoh. They were sitting behind in a Honda City driven by their friend.

It has been very hard to comprehend that both of them are gone. Janice was a very close friend to me lady. Her boyfriend, Lup Man was a merry guy who treated us gas-less Heineken a few weeks back during Janice's birthday. I still remember what was written on the cake : "To my lover, Janice". Since yesterday, after paying my last respects to them, I'm still feeling very uncomfortable. My heart sank when the news was confirmed by her mum.

To those that knew Janice Saw and Lup Man, they have already passed on. Their funeral procession was held this morning in Lup Man's house in Ipoh.

To all who is reading this, do be careful on the road and do not drive with rage.

Goodbye Janice and Lup Man. May God bless your kind souls.

Goodbye Scooby

KAMPAR, Thursday 5/03/09 - It happened so sudden. I could never fathom the thought of it happening. But it did happen. What made it worse was there was nothing that could be done to improve the situation. Give it some thought, and you'd realise that the situation was the best option. It was the lesser of the two evils. It had to happen.

This friendly dog whom we fondly know as Scooby had to be put down. In other words, its life was ended by euthanasia through lethal injection. Apparently, it had bitten two persons and one of them lodged a report against it. The local guard told my friend that two persons had already been bitten by a dog. He described the dog to my friend, Ah Boy and to his horror, it was Scooby. The guard also added that the local council will be coming soon to shoot Scooby. On that night, in an attempt to save the poor dog's life, he drove it a distance away from our housing area and left it there. Sadly the plan failed, it came back the next morning. There was also plans to put it somewhere as far as Tapah so he won't come back but we fear he might get beaten up or shot if it bites someone there. As a last resort, Ah Boy drove him to the nearest vet which was quite far and had it put to sleep there. Even the vet that put Scooby to sleep hesitated, he said that it was too young. Yes he is but there was no choice. It was better this than being shot.

Scooby we'll be missing you lots. We're really sorry. This was the best we could do for you. Personally, you're one of the best looking strays I have ever seen. I'll miss seeing your sleepy face, your stupid antics, your companionship, your friendliness and lots more. Goodbye Scooby and may God keep you safe forever.

Big Red Button

I found this while I was blog surfing. It was kinda amusing at first but it gets annoying after a while. I clicked it till the end. I guess most of you will stop clicking once it multiplied into many many red buttons. Anyway, give it a click! ;)
