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. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
