earth.

yesterday's YTL's Earth Hour celebration at Starhill Gallery was great..They switched off most of the lights, but it was the pitch black i was expecting to see, but none the less, it was switched off..

Met with chew at school at around 5, and then her mom drove, us and mal to starhill..actually, there was its own entrance, but we werent aware of that, so we ended up walking through JW Marriot.. memories..i still remember last year..

Found the Shook Restaurant downstairs, where the event was to be held..called Mdm Shanthy, who wasnt there yet, and told us to get registered with a huey min, not the one from our school, another one, but huey mint from school also came last night..so we saw that huey min, and she gave wrist bands..then they just told us to hang around, coz they didnt need us yet..so we went and found this really nice sofa to sit on, which was actually reserved for the press, but since they werent any press there at the time, we just sat anyway.

mdm shanthy came..and denise came too..we practically were just wasting time, coz they said they wanted to rehearse the awards for later..so while all the musical acts were doing sound check and all that, we just got an earlier show..it was funnier during soundcheck though, coz they were all making funny sounds, checking the echos and sounds all over..and afiqah's crush, jes ibrahim was there earlier for sound check too..got some pictures to show her.

then finally our rehearsals came, which was actually them explaining to us, that we walk on stage take the cheque and they take pictures..they gave us goody bag, with a sandwich and water bottle inside..that was our dinner..pretty filling though.

then at 7.45, we went back to the main area, and sat down on the floor..The Green Ribbon Awards were the first last night..by that time huey mint from school had come, so we left her to sit there with the bgas, while we all went on stage to receive the RM2000 cheque. That was something new all together for me..i experienced my first paparazzi moment..the flash was literally blinding..but from my class picture experience, i told myself not to blink..

so when that was done, we went back down to enjoy the rest of the night, which was actually very entertaining. The hosts were deborah(miss malaysia, last year or the year before not sure), and stephanie chai(she's a host on many malaysian reality series)..it was close to 8.30 then so, to waste time, they got that girl from amazing race(pamela or something??)to talk to the crowd..then when it about 10 minutes before, this girl dresses up as mother earth came on stage to lead the countdown, along with alot of kids dressed up as trees..so the countdown was done, and the lights were turned off one by one..

when the lights were off, ruth went up on stage to give her speech..then malaysia first space traveller came on stage to talk to the crowd..the way the kids were screaming for him, you would've thought he was some rockstar or something..poor denise, she almost got trampelled by the photogs when he came off stage to take pictures with those kids..after his speech, Sean Ghazii and Deanne Yusoff came and sang a few songs..they were really good, its just that i didnt recognize the song they were singing and i wasnt really into that kind of genre, so i didnt appreciate it as much..After them it was time for the performance i was much looking forward to, Jes Ibrahim and his mates..i tell you they were good..no wonder lisha was going on about him that time.and afiqah is soo in love with him..got a clip of the second song that he performed, since the lights were off, its pretty dark, but you can hear the song, which is really good..he wrote it himself, called Heal the World. Then after his preformance, there was this wayang lampu thing, where this guy came on stage and flung the light bulb on a wire around..chew got some really good shots of this one..go check out her pictures..and when the wayang thing was done, it was time to get the lights back on, coz one hour was up..then we sat around for a little bit more, and the mdm.shanthy said lets go, so we left..

the carpark and that starhill gallery was totally heaven on earth for all the car lovers..got out of the lift place and stared right into this super gorgeous bmw two seater..my car knowledge isnt as good as my dads, or my sisters, so i dunno what model it was, and i didnt check, coz mdm.shanthy was practically runnin to her car and we had to chase after her..she was driving us back to school, and our parents fetched us from there. The car ride with mdm.shanthy was really fun..they way she scolds everyone on the road..'GO HOME PEOPLE!!' X]

so, anyway, my dad was waiting at the busstop in front of school, so i got in and came home..and thats about it..so pictures..
