Save the Earth, Trim Your Bill.

"Saving the Earth", "Raising Awareness with Music" - the themes for this weekend. And the message? "Answer the Call". Will the impact be more than just entertainment from a series of concerts? What about tomorrow? What are we supposed to be doing? How long will our broadcaster's logos remain green? I have no answers for all these questions, but since its becoming "cool" to go green, hopefully more people will join in the "revolution", as Madonna calls it. Keep it going! Act now! At least it got my colleague (one of the golden flowers) going at it. Last Friday, she advised me to switch off my machines before we left the office. =P Thanks for the reminder.

I admit I am guilty of wasting energy. If everyone switches off their machines when we are not using them, we can save some energy. What's even better is if we were to do so at home. Besides saving energy, we will be trimming down our utilities bill as well! We can do the simple things first.

Simple steps like...
When you are not in the room, switch off the TV, fan or lights.
or On nights when it is not so warm, use fan instead of air-con.

Those, I can do, and certainly would encourage my whole family to do. We gotta start thinking that what we do individually does matter.

Btw, I like the short video, "Don't Let It All Unravel", directed by Sarah Cox.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
