EARTH HOUR!!!

Whether you are an individual, a business, a school or a city, you can show your support for Earth Hour by turning off your lights at 8.30PM on March 27 wherever you are on the planet...

Across every continent on the planet individuals, businesses, governments and entire communities will come together for the largest action on global warming ever seen. People of different races, cultures, religions, and socio-demographic, will unite like never before in celebration and contemplation of the one thing every single person on planet has in common – the planet.

The world’s most iconic landmarks – Pyramids and Sphinx in Egypt, Beijing’s Forbidden City, Empire State Building, Buckhingham Palace, Rio’s Christ the Redeemer statue, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, the Eiffel Tower and many many more – will plunge into darkness reflecting the resolve of the communities they represent to be part of a global solution to the indiscriminate threat of climate change.

Earth Hour is set to be an historic moment on the climate landscape, a moment of unprecedented global unity that will show the world a resolution to the threat of global warming is possible through collective action.

At 8.30pm (local time) tonight, when Earth Hour’s wave of optimism for a better healthier planet comes lapping at your door, let it into your home, join the planet on the journey to a solution to global warming, switch off your lights, light a candle of hope and show the world what can be done.

Back to Tenji

I did well in my SPM so my parents decided to treat me. I returned to a familiar place. The place was Tenji. Located at the swanky dining destination at SohoKL in Solaris Mont Kiara, Tenji Japanese Buffet Restaurant replicates a traditional Japanese home with clean, sleek and uncluttered interior. The atmosphere hasn't changed a bit, it was the same old place, with the same old food. This time, I came with a different mindset. I came to dominate the food arena. No veggie was gonna stop me, I became a carnivore for a night. First, I had some Sashimi-raw fish because it's really been a long time since I've last had that sort of dish. I also tried some grilled seafood, octopus, lobster and so on. In Tenji, they serve a wide variety of meats. I had roasted lamb, beef and chicken. Too bad no Char Siew...but it was okayla. For dessert, I choose Baskin Robins instead of Haagen Dazs simply because it tasted better. After dessert, I went for another round of main course and then retired for the night.

SPM results... not as I have expected!

It was the 11th of March and I was supposed to collect my SPM results on that day. I had a good rest the night before and wasn't worried about the results. On the day itself, things started to change; I became more and more excited. I got up from bed at around 7am, had no breakfast and prepared myself to go to school. The excitement came not because of the results but rather from the opportunity to meet up with old friends that I've never seen since the last day of the examination. Then came the "CALL", it was from the school office. I was invited to receive my SPM certificate from the Chief Minister himself, Datuk Ali Rustam. Given a choice between attending the official function in Seri Negri or to go back to my alma mater, I would have chosen the latter. But unfortunately, I had to attend because this was an official ceremony and not just some road side act. Once there, I met up with my two class former classmates. They both wore school uniform making me the odd one out. We waited for about 2 hours before our guest of honour made his way into the conference room. No well-builed bodyguards on site, only a few corrupt ministers. In total, there were 12 straight A+ students from Melaka. 3 from SFI, 3 from Dog School, 1 from IJC, 1 from St. David...and the rest from some unknown malay school. If my memory serves me correct, it was Selandar or something. The standards in Melaka are no where near the ones in Selangor. I have one friend who attended Catholic High School in KL and he claimed that in total 200+ students from his school got straight As. This shows how easily students get their As nowadays. When you mention straight As...The As maybe of three different types, A-, A and A+. Thousands of students get their straight As. But to be honest straight As signify nothing, even if you get a string of A+s...it doesn't show how smart you are.

After the prize ceremony, the three of us quickly made our way back to school. Unfortunately, everyone had left the school. We managed to thank some teachers including brother Mike. He was so proud with his class nad kept on repeating the phrase "Last year's 5Hijau was one of the best classes I ever taught, can you believe it mor than half the class got straight As!". I could tell from his speach that he was very happy with his class of 09. Wen Hao and i met up witha bunch of classmates in Dataran. They watched Alice in Wonderland, we didn't. They too got straight As as i knew they would have. Smart people mah, what to do...We hadn't had lunch adn it was getting late, so decided to have some Kentucky Fried Chicken...excellent food...the blend of 24 herbs and spices...original recipe...

KARANGAN TERPESONG!

Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my teachers and friends who have supported me all the way through my secondary school years, for its because of them, that I've achieved the near impossible...12 A+ yeah!!!

Awesome KL Food!

Haha, finally got a taste of Kentucy Fried Chicken and McDonalds... Believe it or not, I actually "Da Powed" McDonalds and ate the meal in KFC. The people at KFC weren't too happy with my actions, so I decided to puchase some of their chicken to neutralise the situation as it was getting too acidic. In Sunway Pyramid, the two world famous fast food outlets are located side by side. Unlike their siblings in Malacca, the KFC and McD outlets here are relatively large. Besides these outlets, there are others. They include Wendy's, Subway, Popeye's, Carl's Jr, Papa John's and many more. The meal punched a deep hole in my wallet, I'll have to start saving money and not spend too much on this sort of foods. Back to the basics for now...mixed rice yahoo!
