Feeling that I should start to make a change in the world, I decided to lead my students for diving on this Earth Hour day at Mabul Island where we participated in the Earth Hour program organized by Sipadan Water Village Resort. (www.swvresort.com)
While I was drinking at the bar, I was asked by this stranger beside me who wasn't so keen on this Earth Hour thing.
"Is Earth Hour really beneficial? It seems to benefit the government and related industries around the globe (since they can save money for power even if it's just an hour) more than us civilians." Among other criticisms on this program which I didn't really paid attention, I told him that I'm no pro on this matter so I told him to check on it on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Hour as well as the Earth Hour website: http://www.earthhour.org/home/
Perhaps you can read it too. Besides reading it on wiki, we would have read it on news, we watched it on TV and our kids learn this at school. Global Warming is no doubt a global issue and we do really need to take action on Global Warming no matter how small our role is. And you and me can start here. Our words might not change the world, but if we unite, I our actions towards conservation will be more important than ever before. So will shutting our lights off for just one hour...
Besides, Earth Hour is another perfect reason for us to have another crazy drinking party...
And to end this post, I would like to congratulate both Ahmad Ebeta and Yeeven for completing their PADI Open Water Course! Keep diving guys!
Peace out~

The peeps at the bar having more fun drinking in the dark. Lovely candles too.
Snacks weren't epic, but there's nothing like drinking dark coffee in the dark...
Our entertainers Peg-Peg and Abigail performing cover songs for us at the bar. Somehow Black Metal music was banned tonight...
