Tinker Bell Costume & Earth Hour....hmmmm

So much for trying to update this blog on a daily basis...hahaha....was too busy yesterday to get this updated so I'm doing it today :D.

I've been trying to complete my daughters costume and I was right in my expectation that even though I thought it would be easy to make, it wasn't as easy as I thought it was :(. However her tinker bell costume is almost complete. I have her skirt, top and wings done but I have yet to get her shoes done. Sigh...that I got to do tomorrow. Won't do it today cause if I were to continue, I'll probably start screaming at my daughter and my husband if they even utter a word to me....hahaha...yes, I was getting pretty irritated with trying to make the costume stay on my daughter and to not tear at the same time. Anyway, that part is over and I've decided to use sticky tape on that day to keep her costume on and double tape to keep the wings on. I hope it stays on!!!...It would be so embarrassing for her if it fell apart when she was in the middle of the stage. Aiyo! if that happened, I don't think she would live it down and I don't think she would forgive me le. I better make sure the tape is super super sticky!!!

You know, I seriously hope that all the other parents are having as much difficulty as I am....hahaha...so mean lah me :P. I wonder who came up with the idea in the school for the costume to be made by recyclables???

Anyway, I'm pretty exhausted already and am going to go to bed in a bit. I also did my part in Earth Hour just now and got all the lights in my house off...woohoo! You know, I think in the future Miri should have an event to countdown to the Earth Hour at the Miri City Fan or something like that. Then we could all gather there and do the countdown and see the lights off in Miri town. Then we could just sit there and enjoy ourselves by looking at the stars!!! How cool would that be??? Of course we would probably be feeding the mosquitoes...hahaha....but we could bring our own mosquito repellent, so that is not an issue...true or not???

So anybody up for organizing it for 2011???

Oklah...that's it from me...going to go check my facebook first before I go to sleep....haha...who doesn't :P

Goodnight people!!! And remember!!! Tomorrow is Palm Sunday in church....so don't forget to bring your PALMS!!!

Bye bye for now!!!

P/S. I'm hoping I didn't miss out on any Earth Hour event in Miri today....sigh....if I did that would be pretty sad cause Miri is so small already...and for me not to know what is going on here would be pretty sad le! Nothing happen right???

If you KEEP YOUR LIGHTS ON, your VOTING for GLOBAL WARMING, that's just plain EVIL!!!

So its the first time in Malaysian History that we will be participating in this Earth Day - Earth Hour thing. I seriously wonder how many of us are going to take this seriously.

I mean Malaysians are not exactly very fantastic in helping out with the Environment in general. Don't get me wrong....I'm a Malaysian too....but let me give you a few examples:

  1. We still use plastic bags despite having seen so many posters around that say "Say 'NO' to Plastic Bags".
  2. I still see people throwing rubbish out of their cars!!! Please lah, if you are going to throw it out of your car, at least take note of the car behind you!!! BUT, please lah, stay clean, can or not! Put your rubbish in a proper dustbin!!! If not, what's the whole point of having a dustbin!!!You might as well just throw away your dustbin as well!!! yes, I'm being sarcastic here...sorry...emotions getting in my way...haha...but seriously, throw the rubbish in the dustbin please!
  3. And what's with Burning things behind your back yard??? Not only are you polluting the environment, your also killing yourself and your neighbours with the smoke!!! Of course, it works for getting rid of the mosquitoes but its seriously terrible for the environment.
This are just a few...I don't think I need to elaborate more...

So you see, it would be nice for once that we as Malaysian take our environment seriously. Why not start with EARTH HOUR and VOTE EARTH by switching off your lights from 8.30pm to 9.30pm. It's only an hour...I seriously don't think you will die by not having the lights on for one hour!!! There are a few things you could do in that hour, for example:

  1. You could have candle light dinner and invite your friends over like my dear friend Corriena is doing. Good on you dear!!!
  2. You could sit outside and look at the stars!!! But don't forget the mosquito coil thingy, if not you'll be eaten alive by them.
  3. You could meditate and have your quite time with the Lord :). Perfect time to let him know how thankful you are for all that he has done for you!
  4. You could walk up and down your lane to get some well deserve exercise...haha...good bah, you get to save the environment by switching off the lights and keep yourself healthy at the same time!
And I guess that there are many more things you could think up and do, so why not join in? I'm hoping you all will.

And don't just off the lights lah...don't take it so literal when they say 'Switch Off the Lights'. Please also switch off the air-con and the tv, because they sure as hell take up a lot of electricity as well!!!

So what say you all??? Vote lah!!! :D

Maybe we should the government should get those people who usually drives around in a truck or van collecting newspaper, who says "Old Newspaper!!!!, Old Newspaper!!!" and make them they go around at 8.20pm to 8.30pm saying "Support Earth Hour!!! Switch OFF your LIGHTS NOW!!!" instead!!! And also say it in Malay "Sokong Sejam Bumi, TUTUP LAMPU SEKARANG!!!"....hahahaha...that's just seriously bad translation!!!

Oklah that's it from me!!! And to sign off:

"VOTE EARTH!!!" If you keep on your lights, that's just saying that you're VOTING for GLOBAL WARMING!!! And that's EVIL!!! :P

Ta for now!!!
