"Help the Beggars in Tamil Nadu" charity a MONUMENTAL failure

I am very sad to say that on this day, I am stopping the "Help the Beggars in Tamil Nadu" charity. I am very disappointed especially at the people who were unwilling to even donate RM 50 for the charity. Because of this, one Indian beggar is going to suffer for one more day. I am not going to accept any more donations from today onwards.

P.S. Just kidding, I was going to use the money as my pocket money.

Earth Hour

So, last Saturday was Earth Hour. If you still do not know what it is :

Earth Hour is a global event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. Earth hour was conceived by WWF and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights. Following Sydney's lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008.

Earth Hour 2009 was from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time, March 28, 2009. 88 countries and more than 4,000 cities joined Earth Hour 2009, a huge increase from people participating in 35 countries for Earth Hour 2008. One billion "votes" was the stated aim for Earth Hour 2009, in the context of the pivotal 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference.

Among the participants for this year was, for the first time, Malaysia. Almost everyone contributed in this even by turning off their lights. Even 8TV halted their transmission for the hour.

That being said, I was delayed a bit because I went out and forgot to turn off my lights at 8.30. But I came back at 9.00 and turned off the lights until midnight.

World Maths Day 2009

My Internet has been down since the last three weeks, which is why I have not posted anything for ages. But anyway, it's working now, obviously. So, three weeks ago, our school took part in the World Maths Day Competition.

About 2000 other schools worldwide also took part in the competition. In our school, eight teams took part in the competition: Form 1 Team A, Form 1 Team B, Form 2 Team A, Form 2 Team B, Form 3 Team A, Form 3 Team B, Form 4 Team A and Form 4 Team B.

Some of our teammates even stayed up until 1 in the morning to play and increase our points. This paid off as our team got 4TH IN THE WORLD!!!!!. Unfortunately, hardly any of us had started studying for the exam which was supposed to be the week after.

"Help the Beggars in Tamil Nadu" charity

It has been a long time since I last blogged, and the reason is because I have been trying to get people to donate for thr ''Help the Beggars in Tamil Nade'' charity. For those of you who do not know what this is, check my previous post. So, as of now, I have collected an astounding RM 10 for the beggars of Tamil Nadu. So now, two beggars can be fed for seven days or fourteen beggars can be feed for a day. The sad thing is only one person donated for the charity: ME. So, please people of the Malaysia, please help Tamil Nadu.

The wonders of South India

Tamil Nadu, otherwise knows as paradise in the blazing hot sun or the Country of the Tamils is one of the 28 states in India, and astonishingly, the 11th biggest state in India(about the size of Greece)! Tamil Nadu, as we all know, is occupied, or should i say infested with Tamil people.

There are many attractions in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu has one of the scariest, or maybe even the scariest, roller coaster ride, and the price is not that expensive to ride on one. This roller coaster is known as the auto, or pronounced atto. This roller coaster is also a taxi, so we can go places for cheap prices and have some thrilling fun too at the same time.

Sadly, half of Tamil Nadu's population are beggars. So, as of this moment, I am starting the 'Help the Beggars in Tamil Nadu' charity to help the beggars there. The only thing you have to contribute is your money(RM 5) and nothing else is necessary. If everyone in our class can contribute RM 5 each, we can help at least one beggar buy food for seven days or even help seven beggars buy food for 1 day. So please students of 4 Science 1, please help India.

The January Trasfer Market is here

It's at that time of year again, the beginning. And all football fans know this month is the transfer market season. Surprisingly this year, it has been a quiet transfer season. There are a few big name players who are planning to move though. The biggest transfer bid that has been made this month is a whopping 175 million pounds for AC Milan star midfielder Kaka from Manchester City, probably the richest club in the world now because of their owners.

In other news, Arsenal FC are planning to make a clean sweep of all the transfer talents such as Andrei Arshavin from Zenit, Jimmy Bullard and Brett Hangelaand from Fulham, and Mobo Diakite from Lazio.

First day of school

I woke up a bit earlier than usual today because it was the first day of school. There was an assembly held in the foyer before we went to our respective classes. Mine was 4 Science 1. It turned out that my class teacher was Mr Sheat, who was also my Chemistry teacher. During lunch, I got the opportunity to share my holiday experiences with my friends. Besides all that, the day went by well although it was a tiring day.
