Being the most environmental friendly among my family members and some friends, I should be ashamed to say that i actualy forgot about the World Earth Day until my colleague, Erin said “eh! tomorrow ahh.. off all your lights in between 8pm-9pm if you are participating in the Earth Day celebration”. I was like EH??!! What’s that?
The moment i get my hands on the internet, i quickly google for it. Ahhh… finally, at least i know what it is all about and OKlah, i’ll try to do my part.
And again, my memory failed me. I was feeling unwell on Friday night. I slept from 6pm – 9pm. Jacky called and said he’s coming over to visit me. I asked him ‘what time izzit???’ He said 9pm. I woke up to see that i was still in my working clothes, meaning i havent bath and eat my dinner. Goshh.. I had my shower and dinner and then crawl back to bed at about 10.30pm and slept through the night. Woke up at about 7.10a.m. feeling fresh but my nose is still block.
Went to work (ARGHH! it’s a working Sat) and some of us had to work overtime coz of the AGM next week (tomorrow). Lucky i had to work till 1.30pm only and am allowed to go back. I skipped my lunch and crawl to bed again. Woke up feeling really good 
Dancy texted me and said OFF YOUR LIGHTS NOW! Err..something along that line lah. So, i told my mum, we gotta off all the lights. It’s World Earth Day, bla bla bla… and she was like “WHAT?!! dont be crazy”. After a few text from Dancy, i finally convienced my mum to off the car porch lights and only on them 1 hour after that. We managed to keep the tv off too. Jacky who came at 7pm was asking me, WHAT HAPPENED??? Hehehe… haiya darling, World Earth Day lah 
He gave me a bizzare look.
Anyway, I dont think Malaysians are celebrating this Earth Hour thingy. Coz i only remember reading 1 article about this in the newspapers. And according to Dancy, it’s a serious thingy in Australia. It was announced in the radio, newspapers and tv. But maybe because this the idea was launched by World Wildlife Fund in Australia last year. What happened is households and businesses are asked to turn off their lights and non-essential appliances in betweek 8 and 9p.m to promote conservation.
Did you do your part? I know i tried my best, but it’s not good enough.
