Phew~

It was no big deal, really, in switching off the power and doing things with only the light of a few candles.

I can even read a book! Haha. But I would have to say that, three light sources were a bit too much. The heat emanating from the candles, the breeze-less night were a bit too much for me to take. And I started one hour earlier than the stipulated timing, because I wanted to get used to the darkness. In the end, I kept fanning myself, manually of course, and drinking lots of water.

I read the book and at times, I stopped and wandered to my kitchen window, curious to see if the others were also participating in the Earth Hour.

To my disappointment, a many households still had their kitchen lights on. Then I walked to the living room.

Hmm, not too bad. I even saw one household switched off their living room lights but left the TV on, haha. Ya, it can be boring during the 60 minutes.

When the time was up, I quickly switched on the fan. Phew~


"It was really nice and quiet without the sounds of TV, radio and games. I could hear sounds of a mother scolding her kid and the kid shouting back at her."
