Earth Hour! switch off the lights..of your car!

kudos to those who supported Earth Hour. so how much energy did the whole world saved during that hour? anyway, its not about the megawatts, it never was in the first place, but the way the media reported the event by showing the numbers was/is clearly misleading...

anyway, what was the most bizarre thing i encountered during the hour?

i saw a car on the road... with lights off!

i'm not sure where to point my thumb really (roll eyes)...

P today...

what do you see?



P?

Pecah?

or is it...?

Perang?

Palestin?

Plight?

Prayers?

Peace?

OMG!

when people utter the phrase "OH MY GOD!"

what will your response be?

mine would be...

OH YOUR GOD!

well...

bubbles in a magazine

a couple of forum friends of mine broke the news about something that have excited me the same way something similar did about 15 years ago...

click to continue:

that exciting proudest moment was winning the first prize in the Dewan Pelajar's 25th anniversary (or was it 30? i cant recall properly) coloring contest... hahahah! well, actually no big deal right? ;)

so the latest equivalent was to have been enlightened that my picture has been featured in the Digital Camera Magazine Malaysia Edition for the month of October.

this picture of this pasar malam guy who played a toy bubble gun...

to feed your curiosity just in case, the picture was snapped at Batu Feringghi pasar malam (night market), Penang. i believe the night market should be quite famous to foreigners for all the right reasons. yes, i said "right". here are a few more pics of that encounter that may interest you...

the entire photo album can be viewed at my flickr set

well i do hope this will be a start of more wonderful things to come, things far greater than this. wish me luck. in the end it dawns to me that, its not me who was featured. it was him... that toy seller guy :) i seriously will pay him a visit to pass him a copy of the mag and buy a few of those guns... who wants to play with me? ;)

ps: i just got another good news. huahuahua. to be revealed later ;)

baby moon, rice and daun palas

is it still the same, i wonder? days when i see those wooden houses over that side at the kampung being decorated with blinking colorful lights and little oil lamps on a bamboo stick in the courtyard...

click to continue:

days when the night before, the old man will announce the sighting of the baby moon, days when the morning tele, instead of showing some popular disney cartoon on a holiday morning, shows the morning prayers instead? days when it always happen in the first 2 months of the year rather than at the other end of the year like recently?

time passes by, things change, people change. even the recipe for the ketupat changes... so does the way people remember the purpose of it all...

selamat Eid uL-Fitr
