Earth Hour 2009

A friend last night told me during dinner that there was an Earth Hour event at 830pm but the time was already 820pm my watch. But I remembered only leaving one small light on at home, gosh, if I'd known earlier, I would've switched off the main supply. I cannot agree more on this. Merely 1 hour can't really save much energy consumption the world is using, but it does show a huge concern and awareness among us, the people living on earth. I was touched by this brilliant idea the Australian was thinking of.



Let me talk a lil on life recently. I see life as very grey nowadays. It's not black, white nor colourful as before. I see authorities are talking how much they are helping the people but yet I see even more sufferings. I see more poverty, more jobless people, more inefficiency and even more disasters coming. Some people are taking the situation for granted while some striving so hard to get their heads above the water level.


Are we fighting a losing battle? Are we heading to the right and clear direction that we want everyone to be? While my fellow friends in the corporate line are fighting to keep themselves alive during this recession period, there are still people who reap off every advantage they could get from fellow peasants like us. You don't kill the buffaloes for their meat after they worked so hard to bring you wealth on the field. Alas, there are still people who think they deserve everything that is offered on this land, even it's not their property to own it. Welcome to the BOLEHland. I am frustrated to see this, but even frustrated to work with them.



That's why you don't see me eating beef or buffaloes meat, ahahahahha, dun get offended k. This morning, I received an email about the country situation. I felt like a sword piercing through the heart. It's really disheartening to see things are going down hill.

PS: For those who do not know about the Earth Hour, it's a global event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

My fellow nation,

The path looks so uncertain,

Why are we still moving,

Like the headless chickens,

Losing their way,

In the midst of chaotic sea,

That is far far away.

Wake up, wake up,

We need to alert the captain,

Do you see not,

As we were born on the same land,

Why not we share the same vision,

Don't go any further the evil path,

Cause hell is waiting there.

Let's move back,

To the right and true direction,

Stop dreaming and be real,

We have the compass to guide us,

We have the moon to show us,

We have the wind to support us,

We have a great future ahead us.

But why,

Why aren't you listening,

To the cries of the hungry kids,

To the pain of the sick old folks,

To the frustrated adolescents,

To the dreaded peasants,

What are you thinking,

Are you real deaf,

Or are you playing deaf,
To ignore our needs,
To satisfy your ego.

Please, please,

We beg you,

Coz you sink, we sink,

Can't you think.

Let us hold hands together,

Putting our diferrences aside,

And pray the sea to calm down,

As we turn around,

To find our path,

Not the 'can can' land or bolehland,

But to where once we call home.
