    Earth Day

    Friday, July 06, 2007
    Mum is officially known as " 独臂霞" ... wrist crushed due to a freak accident for nth time.

    该发生的总是会发生的。。。逃不掉,避不开。2yrs back fractured her foot, only return normality this yr, then came the operation. Somemore, tripped at a pavement few weeks back, end up with a orh ba kack on her face. 这么衰,应该没有了吧?

    好才老爸样子可爱,不然别人会误会他虐妻。

    before I joined ABT, I was ultra free on saturdays... joined aldy like tai ji leow liao. *_*'''

    Anyway, saw the Live Earth Concert announcement on TV.

    Qi asked, " 7 July 2007 is going to be the Green Earth Day, and they are holding concert? Got use meh?
    I replied, "Got, while they sing and play, they will use a lot of electricity, then the earth will perspire and get fever.. "

    Although humour was intended, the issue is actually quite serious. What's the point? Is it effective? U fly those rock stars on jetplanes and stages that literally consume energy. Not to mention we watch them on tv also...

    It seems i'm not the only one who thought of that...

    Arctic Monkeys shiver at Live Earth 'hypocrisy'
    AFP - Thursday, July 5
    PARIS (AFP) - - British rock group Arctic Monkeys have become the latest music industry stars to question whether the performers taking part in Live Earth on Saturday are suitable climate change activists.

    "It's a bit patronising for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world," said Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, explaining why the group is not on the bill at any of Al Gore's charity concerts.
    "Especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical," he told AFP in an interview before a concert in Paris.
    Bass player Nick O'Malley chimes in: "And we're always jetting off on aeroplanes!"
    Large parts of the band's hometown of Sheffield, an industrial city in northern England, were flooded at the end of last month after a deluge of mid-summer rain that some blamed on global warming. Two people were killed.
    But the band wonder why anyone would be interested in the opinion of rock stars on a complex scientific issue like climate change.
    "Someone asked us to give a quote about what was happening in Sheffield and it's like 'who cares what we think about what's happening'?" added Helders.
    "There's more important people who can have an opinion. Why does it make us have an opinion because we're in a band?"
    The group, whose first record was the fastest-selling debut album in British history, will clock up thousands of air miles -- in normal airliners not private jets, they say -- during their tour to Asia and Australia in the next few months.
    They are not the only stars to take a cynical view of Live Earth, which aims to raise awareness about global warming but which will require many longhaul flights and thousands of car journeys to and from the music venues.
    Many of the biggest acts have questionable environmental credentials -- the car-loving rapper Snoop Dogg appeared in a Chrysler commercial last year -- and there are doubts about the ability of pop stars to galvanise the world into action.
    Bob Geldof, the architect of Live Aid and Live 8, the two biggest awareness-raising concerts in history, had a public spat with Al Gore about the need for the event.
    "Why is he (Gore) actually organising them?" Geldof said in an interview with a Dutch newspaper in May, adding that everyone was already aware of global warming and the event needed firm commitments from politicians and polluters.
    Roger Daltrey, singer from 1970s British rock band The Who, told British newspaper The Sun in May that "the last thing the planet needs is a rock concert."
    And the singer from 80s pop sensations The Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant, attacked the arrogance of pop stars who put themselves forward as role-models.
    "I've always been against the idea of rock stars lecturing people as if they know something the rest of us don't," he was reported as saying by British music magazine NME.
    Live Earth takes place Saturday in seven cities -- Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hamburg, London, Johannesburg and New York -- and organisers hope for a television audience of two billion.
    An eighth show in Rio de Janeiro was cancelled by police due to security concerns.
    "Live Earth is going to bring together a massive audience around the world to take action against the climate crisis," says Live Earth organiser Yusef Robb.
    "Some may say that rock stars tend to be conspicuous consumers, but if we can get those people to turn the corner then we're happy to do so."
    Planners have put an enormous effort into minimising the environmental impact of the event in an effort to pre-empt sniping from critics about hypocrisy and the pollution caused by the concerts.
    Fans are being encouraged to share cars or use public transport to attend, all lightbulbs will be energy-efficient and the food will be sourced locally where possible.
    All the signs from the New York show and the stage in Tokyo will be recycled or composted.
    "Where we can't use biodegradable materials, there'll be comprehensive recycling programmes," said Robb, who says the Live Earth gigs will set new green standards for the events industry.
    After the shows, the organisers, with the help of accountancy group PricewaterhouseCoopers and an army of consultants, will calculate the volume of carbon emissions created and will then "offset" the difference.
    Carbon offsetting means investing in carbon-reducing initiatives such as planting trees or making donations to renewable energy projects.
    Robb highlights the good work being done by many artists.
    British ska-rock group The Police and US funk-punk band Red Hot Chili Peppers are examples of "people who practice what they preach."
    Meanwhile, nu-metal headliners Linkin Park have their own climate change charity and Hawaiian artist Jack Johnson tours in a biodiesel-fuelled bus.

    Headache

    Monday, July 02, 2007
    Something is wrong with me...

    My head is aching like hell... like kanna whacked by a baseball bat like tt... @.@

    I couldn't sleep last night despite the fact that I slept at 12mn the previous night & woke up at 630am in the morning. Only a hr nap in the afternoon can affect much meh?!!
    Reason for sleeplessness: The scene that Qi passed the super ultra pinky cute new Hello Kitty bag to the malay girl for $1/- keeps recurring in my my mind. I wansted to give the the slightly old barbie doll tote bag which was the girl's first choice. Not that i niao but maybe bcos i know Min like that a lot. The look of her silent disappointment etched in me... shit
    I feel so guilty i dunno why... Sigh...

    U never know what a kid can do to a person man...just like the Puss in boots in Shrek.

    Maybe i get her a new wallet since her current one is so old liao...

    headache ar.. headache ar..

    Sunday, July 01, 2007
    It all begin with a very innocent msn msg from Irene 2 days ago...

    "Eh, your house got anything to sell mah?"

    Before I knew it, there i was at AMK Ave 4 Blk 626 along with mum & sisters lugging along a big bag full of kid's clothings. Courtesy from my extremely well-off cousin who stay in Shaughnessy (actually was given to mum to karang guni away. i tot i just seize this opportunity since it was basically sleeping around at home)

    With zero cost... I managed to get a Gross Profit of 60bucks but minus the operating expenses.. erm... not much left actually. Hahaha... cos we went BOTAK JONES!!!

    Branded kid's clothes & bags going at $1-2 per price... it was quite popular with the foreign maids & the malay aunties. 华人的钱很难赚.. but understandable lah. I mean i won't buy from such places either...


    Some pics...















    Irene with her barang barang... see the mickey mouse nylon bag from HK behind her?! very cute hor =)

















    Jamie looking bored... or was she hoping no one will buy her Hello Kitty Bag?!













    Spastic me - Obviously i wasn't ready when sis hit the shutter.. . Hahaha













    Maybe it runs in the family?! Hahahaha =)



    P/s: Sorry I couldn't make it for Cuppie's competition. Hope u all had fun too =)
