Earth Hour, Harry Potter and the HBP, New Moon & a whole lotta stuff

So first, this is gonna be a long post! Brace yourselves!

Earth Hour! I know that some of you may not know what the heck it's all about. So, as someone who is environmentally conscious, I'm here to explain it all to you guys.

Earth Hour is an annual international event created by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund), held on the last Saturday of March, that asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. It was pioneered by WWF Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, and achieved worldwide participation in 2008.



Earth Hour will next take place on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm, local time!
So for all of you out there, off all your electrical appliances for 1 hour! Just that 1 hour will make a whole lotta difference to the world! I did it with my family last year. Even though they were like, 'Aww... Can we not do it?' I made them do it... With candles and all.. So, I'm gonna make them do it again this year!! Hehe! And for the first time ever, 8tv will be supporting this campaign and there won't be any movies and it's totally blank on the tv screen for 8tv if you wanna watch the TV. So, just use some candles and create some romantic atmosphere! =)
Here are some pictures from the previous years:

The Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand, switched off its usual floodlighting during the Earth Hour, and re-lit afterwards.
Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House were darkened during Earth Hour 2007.

Colosseum darkened for Earth Hour 2008
Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands public open space in the background, before(insert) and during Earth Hour 2008
Overview of Sydney in Earth Hour 2008
Many buildings in Sydney also turned off their lights in 2007.

People around the world's doing it! Why not you?

Next! The sequel of Twilight -- New Moon and the Logo!







Awesome, huh? Can't wait for it!!!
Then! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! Love is floating around in the air of Hoggy-Wartty Hogwarts and the trailer blew me away! Can't wait for it!
Link to the trailer [especially for ms sotong kurita and dolly] : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4keYY78SEk&feature=channel_page
Last! I've finally bought tickets for Leehom's Music-man Concert! Well, at least I bought the RM 198 one's rather than the RM 268 one's... =_= I gotta act quick before the good seats are taken!! Can't wait till the 2nd of May! =)

Before I go and I'm sure that all of you can't wait to get off this week 'cuz next week's the semester break!!! Yay! However, I'm gonna be reallly busy!
Busy with the Genting trip with the choir girls, busy doing Pendidikan Moral's project, busy planning time to go watch Jonas Brothers' 3D Movie Experience!! Hehe... First of all, I would like to voice out that I'm not really a HUGE fan of the Jonas Brothers, but I heard that this is a really awesome 3D movie that can't be missed! Plus, I kinda like their personality. So... I'll be going. Haha!
Then, there's gonna be the Hannah Montana The Movie. And once again, not a HUGE fan but since i've watched the series and find that it was, ok and hilarious, I can't wait for the movie to come out. Plus, I loved the song, The Climb by Miley Cyrus.
Until then, signing off!
ps: Happy birthday to my already-11-years-of-friendship-buddy, a.k.a. Head of Rumah C and 阿呆 as my mum likes to call him.. Hehe! Happy 17th birthday, buddy! =)

Lost Friends

Just came back from DMC's drama... I have to say that I was impressed!

I was on the car, back from the show with my neighbour/childhood pal at the backseat of the car and I realized something...

We weren't talking like we used to.

I've known him since Standard 1 and he lived just behind me house. When we were in the afternoon session in primary school, his mum will be the one who will bring us back from school. We used to talk like there's no tomorrow in the car. About friends, life, school, teachers, family... His brother was also part of the chat. We laughed at the jokes he made all the way from school to home. Same goes to the afternoon session of secondary school.

We used to cycle our bikes around the neighbourhood. He used to show me secret pathways to go to "secret hidden spots". We used to promise each other to wake up at 7 in the morning to play badminton in the court in front of his house. We used to talk behind our house, under the blazing hot sun in the afternoon, under an umbrella, until my mum comes home. We used to tease each other about the rumour boyfriend and girlfriends we used to have. We used to call out each others names from the back of our house to borrow movies or books or just to talk or show him my new pet or puppy. We used to play with lanterns on the night of Mid Autumn Festival. We used to do school projects in my place. I used to go over to his place and he was so eager to show me his new bed which is a shape of a racing car. I used to go over to his place for a Christmas party.

There's another friend of mine who I've missed terribly although I still see him in school and I just saw him perform just now. Watching him perform made me think of the memories I have had with him.

He used to sit next to me when I was Standard 5 and 6.

We share the same hobby. We like to sing and we both loooooved Harry Potter!

We used to have a book filled with lyrics and would share it with each other to copy. We used to cheat at the spellings our Chinese teacher gave us everyday where we have to exchange it with the one sitting next to us to mark. He will give me a tick even though I was wrong and the same goes to me, so that we don't have to go up front to be caned by the teacher. We used to split our exercises or homework so that we don't have to do that much. I can copy his part of the homework and he can copy mine. We used to write quizzes from Harry Potter and exchange it and answer the questions that we gave. We used to talk about the teachers in our school, and compare it with the teachers from Hogwarts. We used to go soooo crazy about Harry Potter. We used to fight with each other for petty, petty problems. But we always get over it and laughed about it. I used to be the one who will write down his homework when he was absent. I was the one who replaced him in the singing and story-telling competition, and yet, he laughed at my singing.

At first, he wasn't accepted to Kwang Hua. So I thought that the last time I will be seeing him was on graduation day. I was looking at his back and holding back tears as he walked out of the school gates. I was surprised to see him at Kwang Hua. But we didn't talk that much now. Or in other words, we didn't even talked at all now.

He went his way and I went mine. He went to a different class, mixed with different friends and joined the school drama club. Since then, we were like strangers when we met.

I hate this kind of feeling. When I meet them at school, I should have smiled at them. But something held me back. It's not that I liked them as someone else instead of a friend, but I hate to be a stranger to who I've been knowing for so long.

Other then them, there are many more friends that went to the same secondary school with me and lucky for me, I have been around with those who are inseparable with me since primary school. But unlucky for me, I slowly lost contact with some of them who have been with me since then.

They were part of great memories together in my childhood and I won't want to forget them for as long as I live. Even having them in my life is something special, what more is there to say when we were the best of friends? Doesn't that make them extra special?

Sometimes, I really wonder, 'Where did our friendship sail? Did I missed their ship when it was right in front of me? Where did our conversations go? Will it come back to me? I sure hope it will.'


- Dedicated to all my friends who I have met in my life so far. Thank you for treating me as your friend. Thank you for sharing your joy with me. Thank you, for being my friend!

Every second passed,

Cherish everything;
Love everything, everyone;
Listen to everything;
Look at everything around you;

Finally! A lovely Sunday at home..

Yesterday was the premier of my choir's concert, Beautiful Tones - entwined by Z.Y.Lu and John Rutter, in KL...

Hectic, hectic, hectic...

We were changing our clothes like crazy!!! Well, only the La Voce girls since we sing for both the kids and the teen choirs... ~_~ and the programme goes like this, Children's choir - Teen Choir - Children Choir - Teen Choir!!! So we were just walking casually backstage like nothing's happening, then run when we got backstage, just behind the drapes of the stage, and just change like no body's watching us! Not to mention, in total darkness... The shoes, the clothing, make-up, assecories etc etc... Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!

We didnt even have a chance to sit down for 1 minute... We were like, finished changing! Go in line for the next song, then walk out of the stage... Changing in less than a minute! Record breaking, huh? Yeah... La Voce girls should be crowned The Fastest Clothes Changing the World have Ever Seen! =P

But all in all, it was quite okay, the whole performance went quite smoothly... The crowd went wild at the end since most of the crowd was friends of the Chung Hua choirs... We even got a standing ovation from some crazy friends... Thanks... =_=

My legs were aching, my back was aching, my eyes were a million tonnes heavy, my mind was bleak...

But, the fun doesn't end here... The "fun" starts again, next week... Muahahaha!

I'm supposed to be in choir practice now, said our crazy teacher yesterday night. And I was like, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! How could you do this to us?! We need our beauty sleep.. Haha! Just kidding...

But as all can see now, I'm NOT in choir practice. In the contrary, I'm sitting comfortably in my chair, having the best Sunday I've had in months... Not waking up at 8am, even though it's a Sunday.... I luuuuuuurrrrrvvvvvveeeeeee it!!!! =)

But! But! But! Monthly test's tomorrow... I haven't even finish my homework, let alone the tonnes of studying I have to do real soon... ~_~

Performing in 1 week time!

Sorry for posting after quite a long time. I've been busy with my choir practice. Like what I've told Dolly in school, I haven't been at home for more than 24 hours during the weekends!

As some of you guys who are going know, La Voce choir, which is my choir, is performing in Chin Woo stadium this Saturday!

Friday was Friday the 13th! *Dramatic music plays!* It's known to be something the Westerners considered as an unlucky day. I didn't really realized it and so, I don't think anything unlucky happened...

School day on Saturday! On Valentine's Day! Lovey dovey couples walking hand in hand around Sunway Pyramid shopping centre... Luckily girls showing off their presents by holding S&J or Lovely Lace or bouquets of roses or flowers, walking proudly out of the school.. Hmmm... I wasn't one of them... *sniffs!*

After school, I have to go to Ikano to promote our up coming concert in Popular. We sang badly.. =_= Even by singing Siyahamba, we did the worse of the worse. After that, I went to Sunway with QF, J and Joyce. Joyce was my Valentine for the day... yipee... =_= While we were there, we were lucky enough to witness the first Wedding on Ice in Malaysia! It's the wedding of the Head Coach of the Skating class in Sunway. Just one word, ROMANTIC!

Going out with Joyce will make my poor pocket burn! And my pants caught fire! Nah.. Just kidding...

So yea, we drank Starbucks, again! Ate Auntie Anne's Pretzels, twice and Mr Teppanyaki, which was considered much more cheaper than TGI Fridays! Gosh... She wanted to take dinner there at first, but... We saw the price, and walked away... Haha!

Yesterday was our one last time stepping into the school gates of Chung Hua Independent High School, KL! YESH! FINALLY! Everytime we parked in the parking lot, we said, "Sigh~! Back here again after a week..." But this is going to be the very last time. I'm not sure if I'm going to miss it, but I won't be missing it for a long time!

Lol... Recalling last night's incident in Jack's car was really hilarious! Not that I'm not afraid of a bug, but he wouldn't just pull himself to the steering wheel and saying, "Ahh... Get the bug out!" Luckily Joyce wasn't in the car and Xue Yi was. If it wasn't for her, Jack will be crouching and driving on the steering wheel all the way back from KL to BKT... Lol!!!

And, the new Principal of Kwang Hua finally came after 9 months of survival without a Principal! Thanks to Puan Tan!! =)

So I guess I won't be posting again for quite some time... Taz~
