Two months have passed since the last blog. The past Christmas and New Year holiday was spent buying gifts and entertaining. And nothing really notable happened during Chinese New Year. Only as I am writing this now that I recall buying a Chinese New Year decoration, which says “Gong Hey Faat Choy”, which I put up on my foyer wall and this reminds me that I have to take it down.
There was so much snowfall in Toronto this winter. I am pretty sure there were more than 3 days in February where we had at least fifteen centimeter of snowfall per day. I remember going to the temple on the morning of Chinese New Year and as there was traffic jam, I had to walk one block away from the temple to meet John in the car. I was practically walking with my knees in the snow. But I don’t mind the snow anyway. At least it’s not that cold when it’s snowing.
An important upcoming event worth mentioning is Earth Hour which this year, will be on March 29 at 8 pm (local time). Apparently, this movement started in Sydney last year with more than 2 million residents turning off their lights for an hour beginning 7 pm on March 31, 2007. This year, more than a dozen cities have joined in the campaign. Among the cities involved are Atlanta, Bangkok, Chicago, Montreal, Ottawa, Perth, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver. The list is being updated regularly although, I am pretty sure they are leaving out a very important city that has made very strongly its intention to participate. If you know the city I am talking about, yes …. It’s Medan city. Even though Medan is not in the list but I am 100% sure that part of the city will participate in the earth hour come March 29, 2008 … or maybe everyday before this date and everyday after then … heueheueheu
