A good reason not to fly
A large two engined train was crossing America. After they had gone some distance one of the engines broke down. "No problem," the engineer thought, and carried on at half power. Farther on down the line, the other engine broke down, and the train came to a standstill. The engineer decided he should inform the passengers about why the train had stopped, and made the following announcement:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is that you decided to take the train and not fly."
.....................

Global warming...u care?
I know i dont look like someone who is soooo concern about environment....but trust me pls...i actually really care about it....just that to date i have yet to do something significant towards it :P
I still remember last year major cinemas in malaysia showed the award winning documentary by Al Gore - An Inconvenient Truth. I actually watched it alone in the cinema...imagine i have never watch a movie alone in the cinema in my entire life before that! No choice lo...no one want to watch with me....haihh
So after watching it...my fear towards global warming actually doubled! We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late.
See if u practice one or two from below....if not, please consider to start at least one or two now...
- Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditionerCleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
- Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchase.
- Do not leave appliances on standbyUse the "on/off" function on the machine itself.
- Move your fridge and freezer. Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they were standing on their own.
- Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly. Even better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic defrost cycles and are generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their predecessors.
- Cover your pots while cooking.
- Use the washing machine or dishwasher only when they are full. If you need to use it when it is half full, then use the half-load or economy setting. There is also no need to set the temperatures high. Nowadays detergents are so efficient that they get your clothes and dishes clean at low temperatures.
- Use less hot water. It takes a lot of energy to heat water.
- Be sure you’re recycling at home.
- Buy intelligently. One bottle of 1.5l requires less energy and produces less waste than three bottles of 0.5l.
- Choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills when you can.
- Reuse your shopping bag.
- Reduce waste.
- Plant a tree. A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
- Buy locally grown and produced foods.
- Buy fresh foods instead of frozen.
- Buy organic foods as much as possible.
- Eat less meat.
- Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass transit wherever possible.
- Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates.
- Don't leave an empty roof rack on your car.This can increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
- Keep your car tuned up.Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.
- Drive carefully and do not waste fuel.
- When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel efficient vehicle.
- Fly less. Air travel produces large amounts of emissions.
- SHARE THIS LIST!!
For me, i will try to achieve at least 10 from above....you may make your move also...
Go go go...

Thoughts of LRT life....
Well, since i started my current new job...i've also changed my transport mode to work...instead of driving i am now taking LRT to work....My best friend always tease me....can you take it or not ar? cramp like sardine ge wo....those ppl with very strong body odour ge wo....need to walk a lot ge wo....bla bla bla....yeah, the first 2 days really suffer a bit...but guess wat...i've get used to it and accepted it happily after a week.

Just wanna share some facts on coral reefs....love your reefs like how you love your loved ones..
Coral reefs are among the oldest ecosystems on Earth.
Coral reefs are the largest living structure on the planet.
Although coral reefs cover less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, they are home to 25% of all marine fish species.
500 million people rely on coral reefs for their food and livelihoods.
Coral reefs form natural barriers that protect nearby shorelines from the eroding forces of the sea, thereby protecting coastal dwellings, agricultural land and beaches.
Without the existence of coral reefs, parts of Florida would be under water.
Coral reefs have been used in the treatment of cancer, HIV, cardiovascular diseases and ulcers.
Corals' porous limestone skeletons have been used for human bone grafts.
It is estimated that coral reefs provide $375 billion per year around the world in goods and services.
If the present rate of destruction continues, 70% of the world's coral reefs will be destroyed by the year 2050. --> How scary huh??
