UCSI Earth Hour event

On the 28th of March 2009, Earth Hour started. It was the day where everyone of us are encouraged to switched off our lights at home, office or anywhere to save electricity and do our part to save the earth. Some say its just a publicity stunt, but to me, Earth Hour makes saving the environment fun.

Yesterday, University College Sedaya International has organized an event in conjunction with Earth Hour. The people at UCSI had activities like dodgeball, an indie band concert, countdown and the 60 human line.

Waited outside the UCSI waiting for Tom and Sam. Bumped into Kok Yew, Hua Xiang, Junh Xiang. Then later on bumped into Hui Xian, Wan Zhuin and the rest. Brandon, Xiao C and me were wearing Baby Milo shirts, Hui Xian thought we berpakat pakai Baby Milo shirt.

UCSI delayed the event to start at 7:30 p.m instead of 6:30 p.m. But that wasn't a problem for us, we all just can't wait for Earth Hour.


The dodgeball court, with the organizers doing final preparations.





Dodgeball was awesome. I thought the dodgeball would be as hard as a volleyball, but it was soft and not very bouncy. LOL.

Sam, Me, Brandon and a UCSI student teamed up against another batch of UCSI students, lost.

Then second time, we were against another batch of outsiders. I finally managed to hit my opponents, before being targeted.


Seeing Hui Xian and gang playing dodgeball was funny.


The indie band did a great job entertaining the crowd, love the guitar solos.


Before our candles were lighted


Waiting for the UCSI building to switch off the lights.


Oh boy, the countdown was the first main event. Everyone had their candles lighted. Sam was the one that always blows our candle light off all the time. We went mad, chasing each other while holding our lighted candles.




Sam, me and Diong.

Group photo, don't know what's wrong with Xiao C. I think she got high before us.

HAPPY EARTH HOUR PEOPLE!!!!

UCSI's main campus lights were switched off, every one screamed went crazy.


Sam, I know what are you gonna do...


Me and Sam.

Right after the countdown, the band kick off with cover of John Lennon's famous single, "Imagine". Everyone started to sing along.


Atmosphere was awesome..


Hui Xian and me.


My candle.


My candle on the left, Sam's on the right.


Forming the 60 human line. Don't have any pics of it, will take it from UCSI's blogspot.




Emcee Benji.....gosh he's like the coolest senior a college would love to have.




What happened to my candle?

Ok, this is when we all went mad, especially me and Hui Xian. That time Sam and his parents went off to KLCC.


The band made us sing along so loud, jumped like mad kids, screamed like the witch from Left 4 Dead. Screw the candles, the band performed "Time is Running Out" by Muse. When was the last time I had so much fun, after all the hectic school schedule? I guess the high school students were more mad than the college kids.

After the event, we all went to a nearby cafe to eat. I'll let the pics to the talking.













LOL.

Ok, in conclusion, UCSI did a great job for organizing the Earth Hour event. Next year will be back for sure.
