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. :-)

I Will Be Back With More Time.

It is more than two years since I last blogged! Not that nothing interesting happened. In fact, plenty happened! Shifted house, shifted office, boys grew, had Hand Foot Mouth Disease (ouch!)! Just to name a few. There were gains and losses. Life's ups and downs. Of me, and those around me. I haven't been doing much deep thinking and thus less writing. Not enough time? That is probably an excuse. But it is true that I have not slept well for quite awhile. It is hard to explain the stress from work, where nothing goes smooth, and every step forward is a hurdle. Technology also had made it simple and addictive for us to mindlessly share. Share our thoughts in bits and pieces. Forming persona of ourselves to acquaintances and friends I hardly meet anymore. I remember experimenting with Tumbler, finding ways to post once, publish everywhere. It didn't quite work out. Even when technology made it is so easy, I have not been diligently editing and uploading photos of my darlin

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Thirteen.
