28 Mar 11: The Earth Hour
Last Saturday was an earth hour day, where participating cities had decided to switch off unnecessary lights for one hour from 8:30 – 9:30pm. I was at home at hour. I was tempted to switch all lights while watching TV. However, I realized it was too dark to watch TV that it causes my eyes strained. Hence, I decided to keep minimum lights without straining my eyes. After all, if I want to participate the earth hour, I would switch off all lights and just sitting at the balcony. I wonder if I can survive for one hour.
29 Mar 11: Save the World
Most of us are familiar these days that we need to save for future. It can be either use less electricity, recycle the product or use a recycle product, do not use disposable product that cannot be recycled and many others. There are also indirect ways that we can save i.e. eat less especially less meat, oil and salt. It is not just for our good health but also to keep our body weight stable without starving.
30 Mar 11: e-Book
Tablet is becoming a common gadget these days. It is getting slimmer and more powerful. One of the application that many people use it is e-book. Instead of bringing a few books which are heavy and cumbersome, now everything is stored electronically. Reading e-book would be no problem. How about using e-book scores for playing a piano. This might a good opportunity though it can be quite small. However, the difficult part is to flip the pages especially the e-book is good for only showing 1 page, the normal book shows 2 pages at a time. In addition, the notes could be very small to read.
31 Mar 11: Two is Better Than One
There is a saying goes like this: Two is better than one and Three is better than two. Well, if we are referring that three people put their brains and effort to solve a problem, then certainly we will expect a better and faster resolution than one person. However, if we are referring that having two cars is better than having one car. I must say that it would be a waste. Of course one can say that the first car will be used for work and the other one for weekend. When we have two or more, our attention will be divided too. Hence, we might just concentrate one and neglect the others. If we just have one, we would treat it and keep it as a precious one. Therefore, having one would be just enough for us, it’s not too much and not too less.
1 Apr 11: April Fool’s Day
I don’t know how this tradition happen but I don’t like the idea of fooling people especially about serious matter such as life-and-death situation. Fooling on a simple matter may be fun for some, though if you are the one to be fooled you might not agree with it. After all, the golden rule says that One should not treat others in ways that one would not be like to be treated. Why not change the April Fool’s Day with April Truth’s Day, where you should tell the truth to others. The truth may hurt but the truth is always true, no matter what.
