cfo* is like soooo proud that he participated in Earth Hour on the past 28th March.
my family and i, too, were enthusiastically wanting to participate in this campaign- we started at ~8.35pm (until then we knew that the time shown on the clock at the living room is s.l.o.w.e.r). anyway, we didn't manage to participate TOTALLY, 'coz it's really WAY TOO HOT that we were sweating like crazy. so we on the fan at around 8.50pm. lolx.

in Singapore, i was told that there was a 'blackout of the CBD area'.

on the other hand, in Malaysia, the local television station 8TV (not Singapore Channel 8, these 2 are just so... incomparable *sorry fellow singaporeans) decided to stop its transmission for the 60mins as mean to support this campaign, with the fact that 8:30pm to 9:30pm can be said as the peak prime-time hour.

even the landmarks in the capital of Malaysia, such as Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower also had their lights off during the campaign. i'm so.. touched!

i got to know that this advertisement tops Viewer Choice's 2008 (local category) organized by the MediaCorp Singapore. i've seen this ad before when i was back in Brisbane when i tried to find out who directed the ad 'The Love of Tan Hong Ming' (see previous entries). this ad is about this single dad (as oppose of single mom) who struggles to bring up his only kid, which in this case, a daughter. i like this ad instantly after watching (that is, back in Brisbane).

i've been wanted to vote lar, but i always forgot the correct format to send sms-es in. anyway, as i always lack of 'lucky draw' luck, i should have just think that i have saved a couple of dollars instead!



oh, i think i forgot to mention. the director is Yasmin something (sorry i cant remember please google it yourself ;p)
