Instant Star

I totally forgot that last week Saturday was 07.07.07. There was a Live Earth: The Concerts For A Climate In Crisis that was held around the world – Aussie Stadium in Sydney, Makuhari Messe Hall in Tokyo, Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, Wembley Stadium in London, Hamburg, Copacabanta Beach in Rio De Janeiro, Johannesburg, New York – to persuade fans and governments to go GREEN! I think it’s persuasive to use famous singers, rock groups to come together, using their celebrity power to spread the environmental message across to their fans. But…looking at the scale of the concert and the extravagant set-up, I thought it will be wiser to use the money in a more appropriate way. Why not get the artist themselves to clean up the rivers, plant a tree for the future, beach clean-up, switch off the power for several hours, MNC to stop their factories for 1 day – you know, having the stars & corporate professionals to do some hands-on work; get their hands dirty to demonstrate that they walk the talk :) Nonetheless the concerts were hot! Shakira was sizzling when she sang ‘Hips Don’t Lie’.

Even in our very own KL, there was the Green Everyday Concert held at Bukit Jalil organized by SuriaFM. The organizers should get Jacklyn Victor, Maya Karin, Zainal Abidin, Cheryl Samad, Ashraf Sinclair, Sazzy Falak to clean up our Klang River :) As for me - be more responsible when utilizing and disposing the resources :)

I sent my pet tortoise back to the pet shop this evening :( Over the last 2 years, they have grown from the size of a fifty cent coin to the size of my palm. They have become so huge that they don’t have much place to run around in their house anymore. I thought of letting them go off to the lake…but I’m not so sure whether they are able to find food, protect themselves from the outside predators. They have been so sheltered all this time :) Will miss them much.

Argentina will beat Brazil in tomorrow's Copa America Final! :)
