Earth Hour 2013


Check out the calendar, it's 23 March 2013 today! It's the EARTH HOUR!

Earth Hour was started in Sydney in the year of 2007. It was organised by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) to ask people to switch off the light for one hour to reduce the consumption of energy.

After started in Sydney, it was then being participated by other countries in the world. From one city, this event was being extend to more than 7,000 cities across the 152 countries last year. 

2007: 1 city
2008: 35 countries
2009: 88 countries
2010: 126 countries
2011: 135 countries
2012: 152 countries

But, this year, it seems the event is not as popular as previous years. I don't really hear people talk about it. I wonder how many people will be supporting it this year. 

I remembered that, in last year, Earth Hour was one of the most popular topics in the weeks.

Why there is so little people talking about it this year? Is is because the year 2012 has pass? The story of the world is going to end in year 2012 has been proven wrong? 

As human, we should always love our Earth. We should not start protecting our Earth just because it is coming to the end of the world. We should protect our Earth everyday. To protect our environment, doesn't means that we have to go participate to every single eco-friendly activities like picking up rubbish along the beach. We can started by the simple actions, such as don't simple throw rubbish and don't burn anything publicly.

If we save our environment, we can save the world!

Have you filed your tax? If you haven't, perhaps you can do it now.

In recent years, Inland Revenue Board (IRB), or some people call it as tax department, is promoting e-fling (filing tax online). By using e-filing, we no longer need go to IRB office to file our tax and avoiding long queue while doing tax filing. With e-filing, we can file our tax at home.

First, click on 'statutory income and total income' to enter your income.


You would see there are 4 categories of income:-
(i) employment
(ii) dividend
(iii) rents
(iv) interest discounts, royalties, premiums, pensions, anuities, other periodical payments and other gains or profits

So, you just need to enter the annual income for categories of (i), (iii) and (iv)

For dividend income, click the HK3.

Insomnia At the Midnight

I woke up at around 2 o'clock. 

Then, I went toilet.

After that, I failed to sleep!

I got up to online at around 2.30am.

At about 3 o'clock, I went to bed again.

Laying... laying... and laying....

I failed to sleep.

I then got up at around 4 o'clock. I online and reading reports.

I hate to be failing to get into sleep. It really put me into a situation where I don't know shall I continue laying on bed. I had been laying for one hour, from 3 to 4 o'clock and I failed to get into sleep. I got up and my mind is a little bit blur as I slept for only 3 hours. I hardly sleep during day time. I know my mind would suffer today. Moreover, I have two appointments today, one in the morning and another at night. I really hope that I would be all right. Perhaps, I shall try to take a nap in the noon. And I hope I could manage to get into the sleep.

My health isn't really good actually in these few years. A lot of things have been happening, inclusive stress that I have during my work previously. And that's one of the reasons I quit my job.

During my trip to Johor, I fall sick. I really hate sick as well. I guess nobody like it.

I guess. I should officially set some guidelines to take care about my health.

As first step, food and beverage.

I should give myself restriction on foods and drinks as follow:-
- No spicy food
- No soft drink (except Isotonic drink)
- No fast food

- No iced drink
- Less fried food
- Less meat
- Only one cup of coffee per week

6 simple guideline for now, I hope I could follow it.

Bhd. and Alextan Artworks.

Penang Shan Children’s Home (PSCH) began as a dream and initiative of Dr. S Balakrishnan in the year 2005. This is a non-religious and a non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of orphans, neglected children, dysfunctional families and single parents. The home was built and officially launched on 14th December 2008 by Madam Chan Siew Har. PSCH’s mission is to maximize the attractive opportunities that are stored in the children; to make something happen; to change the ways that things are and to create something that no one else has ever created before for the children, to explore for opportunities; to provide guidance and course correction; maintaining focus on being consistent and persistent. The objectives are both short and on a long term basis. The short term objective is to provide all the children with a safe and supportive environment. The focus will be on the development of physical, mental, emotional, educational, social and recreational skills that will create awareness to structure and mould the child’s future. The longer term development includes the options that are available for the child’s future, supporting them to complete the tertiary education preferably to University level. For those who are unable to complete the basic education, they would be trained in developing their skills by educating them in skill training centers. Through home visits and working with parents, they would like to ensure that eventually the child is reunited with his/her family thus becoming the backbone of the family.
