Saving the Earth or Saving your Ass...?

Economic downturn has caused my company to come out with some cost saving policies, like saving energy, paper etc etc. This is good, I mean, it saves the environment and reduce cost. But I am really sceptical about the "save the earth" part.

Inside the ladies' toilet, there is a notice to inform everyone that from xxNov08 onwards, the facilities will cease to provide the hand towel paper, as part of their cost saving exercise, and to save the earth. To save the earth, hmmm.... Why can't they do that earlier? Why do they even want to save the earth now, when tons and tons of hand towel paper were already used?

Then, they would switch off most of the lights in the canteen, pull up the blinds to get natural light to come in. That's good too. But the problem is, they only do this at night. There is no natural light at night. Period. And in the morning when the sun is high and shining, they switch on all of the lights. Hmmm...

I wish they can stop using the "save the earth" thingy when what they want to save is money. It's making me very uncomfortable.


"Save the Earth my ass."

AFA08 and the Stupidity of One Amateurish Photographer

I ought to be executed.

I had committed a mistake so grave, that every single photographer, amateur or professional, would be laughing at me --- I forgot to charge my batteries.

And there I was, happily arriving at Suntec Convention, fishing out my DSLR, snapping away and when I saw that deadly signal (flat batt), I was out cold. I had thought it was just a technical issue, maybe the battery grip's contact wasn't so good. So I took out the grip and inserted it back and voila! ok again. But I knew things were not right when I had to do the same thing over and over again. In the end, I threw in the white flag and choose to use my mobile phone instead. Again, the same thing happen to my phone.

... Why didn't I check if the batteries are charged? Why did I assume that they can last, since I did not charge them after I came back from my Cambodia trip? Why does this have to happen to me? I was so psyched about this event. Nevertheless, here are some shots before both my camera and mobile phone died on me.

Just what are those girls thinking about? But I appreciate their thoughts anyway. Thanks.

Sick Every Rest Day

My fever had subsided.

Why am I sick every rest day? Can't even enjoy my rest days for even once. First, mild food poisoning, then itchy rashes, and now, flu. Getting weaker and weaker.

It's Sunny Again...

as the clouds give way to the clear blue skies. Everyone is well and life is wonderful again. And I can eat normally again, how nice.

"It's a great start."
