Happy Earth Hour...I think

Hi all. Haven't posted in a long time. Sry,couldn't find time to post due to the load of homework I have. Why do teachers give us so much homework anyway? It's as if they think they're the only ones giving out work for us to do.

But I'll probably rant on that next time.

For this post,I am talking abt Earth Hour. Earth Hour was held for the 1st time last year in Sydney,where most of the people switched off their lights at home for a whole hour to save electricity. This year,other countries have joined in. But what about our country? Ok...wait a sec...[looks at Sunday Times]

Ok. Got it. Says that Earth Hour was not really accepted by people in Singapore. And we claim to be a Garden City. We may be filled with trees,but with almost everyone here littering,wasting water and electricity and having an obsession with using plastic bags,our self proclaimed title is useless. That's right,USELESS.

And since I stretched the writing of this post to Tuesday,I have managed to read an ST reader's comment on Earth Hour and the irony of it as the F1 racing thingy also did a publicity stunt involving LOTS & LOTS OF LIGHTS when MOST countries around the world were in darkness. Wonder what it would have looked like from space...

Alien: Ok. It's Earth Hour now,let's see what's going on as part of our exploration mission. Hmmm...this place called America is all black. So is Fiji. And Sydney. Seems like these people living on Earth really do care about their planet.
Wait! What's this? A small island is actually being indifferent to this occasion. Some parts of the place are dark,but others are still very much lighted. They even have this racing event. The light is blinding!!! What is this place called?!

Of course,we all know what the alien was talking about.
