Earth Hour Singapore 2009


Come 28 Mar 2009 (Saturday), 2030 hours, Singapore time, Singaporeans, I will like to rally you to light off your house, off your computers and aircon for an hour to join the rest of the world in celebrating Earth Hour 2009!

Yes, you can make a difference on this special date 28 Mar 2009 by not using electricity for one hour! Small this effort of yours may be, but if each household ‘off’ its electricity for an hour, the efforts by Singaporeans will translate to something significant! And if many countries cooperate and support Earth hour by encouraging its citizens to off their electricity for an hour, just imagine how many hectares of forests we can save!

Foreign readers to my blog, I am not sure whether your government has publicised Earth Hour in your country, maybe you can leave a comment on the celebrations of Earth Hour in your country in my blog. If you have just come to hear of this event from my blog, I would encourage you could stop using your electricity in your home for that hour on 28 Mar 09 and feel free to share this Earth Hour initiative with your friends and relatives.

Yes, I will be celebrating Earth Hour by running non-stop to charge up my body since there is no electricity. My kinetic energy will be in turn used to charge up a generator which is attached to my body, in turn this generator will help to light up the streets lightings which have to be ‘On’ for safety reasons, just kidding. I will be somewhere advocating this cause to others during that hour.

Please support Earth Hour! Do not use electricity on that hour come 28 Mar 09 and most importantly, conserve electricity on a daily basis. Let every hour be an Earth Hour!

Thanks for promoting Earth Hour! Another way you can recruit people to the cause is by creating a Earth Hour group on Commit21.com. Simply create a group about one action that you will commit to do for Earth Hour and recruit your friends, family, and co-workers to get involved in that action as well. When it comes to climate change, simple actions can make huge differences and Commit21 leverages social media to influence networks of friends, family, and co-workers. Check it out at www.commit21.com

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
