Earth Hour...

“Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you…” - Terry Pratchett
'
We were in the kebun that night.

Earlier we reminded each other about the Earth Hour and in what way we can contribute. I have voted to switch off the lights for an hour but we don’t even have electricity in our chalet, so how to switch off the light switch?

Instead, we switched off the generator and sat at the verandah in the dark, watched beautiful fireflies among the durian trees, and listened to the silent of the night…

I wish hubby had switched off his cigarette but the mosquitoes were also celebrating and feasting too. Sigh…

  7. Anie,
    Kak nong tak kesah kalau hubby merokok, dengan syarat dalam bilik air atau open air supaya tak menggangu ketenteraman....

    Tak semua orang yang participate. Tapi emak kak nong kat kampong tu siap beli lilin dan pasang ubat nyamuk siang2 lagi...

    Ezza,
    Bagus bila budak2 tu support kempen ni. At least TV and PC boleh lah pakai..... Kak nong pun dah pesan pada emak jangan off kan fridge gak. Dorang ingat semua kena off he he…

    Tulip,
    Kak nong dah lali dengan bau rokok tu, Dulu2 dalam tahun 70an kita satu keluarga penghisap rokok. Slowly each of us drop the habbit except abah dah hisap paip. Hubby pun dah reduce a lot alhamdulillah.

    Kalau gi camping sengaja suruk dorang hisap rokok, boleh bantu jauhkan nyamuk dan agas he he.

    Kak Elle,
    Malam tu kami bergelap di kebun dan hanya menggunakan pelita. I don’t like people to smoke near me too, the smell melekat di baju and rambut...

    Kakpah,
    Chalet dalam kebun tu mula nye untuk anak2 main pondok2 masa cuti sekolah dan musim buah. Sekarang dorang tu liat sangat nak balik kebun. Complaint panas dan banyak nyamuk. Tapi musim buah mesti datang jugak tu…

    Madam,
    Salam, nak kerja kan kebun tu kena ada proper attire, kalau tak kita di kerja kan kerengga dan tebuan nanti he he...

    My youngest son was involved in a motorbike accident 3 years ago. He would be 24 this year. I still have nightmares at times, for I miss him so very much…

  9. Sue,
    Takpe tak sempat join this year. Next year boleh participate. It's good to have bibik to help in the house and look after the small one.

    I never have a helper. So i did all housework, luckily hubby help a little bit :)
