Earth Day 2008

When I turn on my laptop this morning, I saw the google has changed its logo, when I look carefully, then only I remember…

Google Earthday

Anyone know what day is today?

Yes, it’s EARTH DAY. I believe many Malaysians do not know what is this, which is why today, I’m posting this. For the sake of a better world. Now, if you don’t know what is Earth Day, I’ll explain to you now. Earth day is a day supposedly celebrate by all countries, everyone live in this globe, it is a day to remind everyone, a call for climate change!

Before you start thinking I’m bullshitting, is none of your business, I wish you will spend just a few minutes to watch the video below. I beg you, please watch this movie… Listen it with your heart…

Yes, even a 13 years old kid understand and aware of what is happening to this world. I never think this way before, I never really care before as well. Until I came here, I started to realized and aware of all issues regarding global warming, climate change and environment care. Our earth is sick, and the viruses and bacterias which have cause it sick is us, human being.

We have been very selfish, taking things for granted and show no care for what is happening to others. Click here if you want to know how many degrees separate us from the tragedy of global warming, listen to this.

Is our duty to help this world, our duty to save this world. I’m starting to do my job, is never too late and it is the same for you. Not that I’m expecting you to make a big thing for it, you just have to start from a very basic thing, like me.

It’s easy.

Before you dump your rubbish into your rubbish bin, have a look on the thing you are going to dump it… Look for this logo.

Recycle


It’s easy to find this logo, let me show you an example…

Recycle

Once you saw this, simply rinse it with water then put it in another bin, gather all together.

Recycle Rubbish

Then put it into recycle bin outside your house.

Recyclebin

Easy? You just have to start from the very basic, and you are actually helping the environment. Help the earth and you are helping yourself.

Sadly I know that in Malaysia, only very few places have recycle bin placed and collector who come and collect from us. However, you can still do it although is a little bit not so convenient. Gather all the recycle rubbish, take it to the nearest recycle station.

Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Harvest Festival.

This is a very late post, it suppose to be up here since last month. Well as you know, I’m kind of lazy busy to update lately.

My University organized this trip to this place called Stanthorpe on 8th of March. There was a festival held named Apple & Grape Harvest Festival. Stacy, KahPeng, Benjamin, Kodomo and I were there together.

Stanthorpe

It was actually an event organized by the Queensland government to attract visitors and boost economy. If you wish to know more, google it regarding this, is not my style of posting and free advertising everything like someone do. Perhaps, I’m giving an excuse for my laziness. =P

This place is known as one of the highest spot in Queensland and because of that, this place even snow during winter at times. The place was really crowded, but it was kinda fun as an experience in Australia because it only held once in every 2 years.

Crowded

There are some fresh fruit juices, wine and fruits selling.

Honey

I bought myself a few fruit flavor alcohol and 1 bottle of honey, it was really tasty and smells really good, utterly different from the honey you can buy it from any of the supermarket.

Bees

That was the 3rd time I hold a real gun, before this I fire a revolver and marching with a M-16 Machine gun before.

Holding a gun

Personally, I like this photo the most among all the photos I took. This is the first time I’m physically contacted with a future robot. In our conversation, according to that robot, he said that it is the first time he shakes a human being hand as well. (My pleasure then…)

If you think KahPeng is a tall fella, then I can tell you, you are so wrong!

Stanthorpe

There was a parade marching around the town as well, they are quite interesting.

This is the first time I see a pipe band. They are so cool.

Pipe

I like it, I enjoy that day, is something that as a foreigner or international students should not miss out. Don’t miss out this event next time when you have the same opportunity.

A big “NO”.

I’ve came across a news from Kwongwah news paper regarding a saddening news. It is regarding the President of Korea is considering taking dogs as poultry legally.

Dogs

Sadly, dogs are mens best friends. Despite the fact that I did not have a dog, partly due to shortage of time I have for a dog, I’m definitely dog lover. If you are a dog lover and you wish to stop this act, there is one thing you can do just like what I did few minutes ago. It’s easy, you just have to write an email and send it to the President of Korea, the email address is webmaster@president.go.kr.

Show your support against this act, put it into action like I did. Your one email may end up saving thousands of dogs in Korea. Hope more of you out there participate this for the sake of good will and men’s best friend. Join me, do your part!
