"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.
