VOTE EARTH
YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Global warming is getting worst by the day. One person cannot make a difference. But 25 million people can. Reshmonu and Pete Teo have signed up at www.earthhour.org/malaysia What about you?

Last month, I attended the Ironman triathlon at Langkawi. Will post more on that event soon.

Anyway, while Kevin was busy shooting the triathletes, I found something rather interesting on the ground…

There’s no doubt that we all love to own a piece of designers’ goods. Be it handbags, shoes, accessories or clothes. Designers being designers, are supposed to be the trend setter. But very often, designers tend to let their imagination go wild to the extend of creating something that would make you either go WOW or

Why not I let you judge for yourself?

All hail to the queen of Egypt?

This outfit probably inspired by the king of fruit - durian. I would like to wear this one to sleep. I’m sure it would keep me warm during the cold night. Can you imagine me in it?

But I definitely wouldn’t want to wear an umbrella upside down. Once you fall, you might not be able to get up.

Now you can always take your bird out for a walk in the park. Just like how you would walk your dog.

How about a retro boots? Errrr… When would one ever get to wear that? Gosh! Maybe some costume party, eh?

Finally, high heel flippers for those who want to scuba dive in style! Very creative indeed!

You must be asking, what is a digital clutch anyway?

Well, it’s actually a laptop which size as small as a clutch. But you might be saying, “Hey, there are plenty of laptops that are as small as you can get. So what so special about this one?”

If you’re looking for a laptop under the following category, you would definitely want to check this particular one out!

1. Looking for a laptop.
2. It got to be a small one, really small!. Something which you can carry around. It would be nice if it’s as small as your clutch.
3. Got to be ultra thin, lightweight.
3. Got to be stylish! Got to be fabulous!! Got to stand out from the rest!!!
4. Got to have some colours on it.
5. You don’t want something that is plain. Plain is boring. It got to have some design on it.
6. Maybe something that would go with your fabulous red dress that you love!
7. You love flowers. Especial those pink ones.

Introducing the world’s first designer Mini HP - the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition. It is a must have accessory for this season for fashionistas around the globe!

It is simply fabulous, don’t you agree? Those computer manufactures should collaborate with more designers to product more stylish laptop like this one. Of course you probably have already seem some designers’ name on gadgets such as hand phone already. Let’s hope there would be more designers for computers! I want to see John Galliano or Alexander McQueen!

Anyway, when I first saw this laptop, I fell in love with it instantly. I bought my 15.4” laptop at RM2500+ (last year), while is this stylish HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition has a 10.1” LCD and is selling at starting price of RM1699! Man! I would have gotten this one instead of my current one.

See, mine also got flower on it. And I thought mine was pretty. But nothing beats the HP Mini Vivinne Tam Edition. Now, who wanna buy my second hand laptop? Anyone?

This HP Mini Vivienne Tam Edition would made a lovely gift during Valentine’s Day for your girlfriends, for those who could effort. It is as good as getting designers’ handbags but even better! It’s a laptop which your girlfriends can surf the net, do some work and enjoy some entertainment while the guys hang out to watch their football matches. Haha…

It’s been awhile since I last had my curls. And I have to admit that I did miss my curls. I’ve always wanted wave hair because my hair in general is too thin and straight which doesn’t hide my pointed ears.

Two (2) weeks ago, my friend at Tony & Guy smsed me saying that he was looking for model for perm. So I volunteer myself! I personally requested for a bigger curl because I didn’t want it to end up like the last time.

Following are snapshots of me at the hair salon. It started off with a hair cut and then followed by the perm.

PS: If you like, feel free to give each of the pic a caption.

I’ve been working on an avant gart bridal gown over a month. I had to buy a roll of interfacing and bridal satin to make this. Which cost me a boom. Haven’t calculate the beading cost yet.

The origami tail will go over the top of the dress as a top piece. Means the dress can be wore on it own or with the added origami top, which can be really heavy.

The dress is inspired by Christian Dior Couture Spring 2007.
