Tree Smart - Be Inspired

I am in dire need of inspiration. Ton's of ideas, no execution. It's killing me. To make things short, the latest project is to draw - for a postcard exchange. Been ages since I've picked up a pencil. I miss those yellow pencils (can't really find them in Malaysia, wish I had bought a box from the US) but we get 2B pencils here. Remember those pencils we used to answer objective questions. Yeah, I miss those.

Found something interesting that spiked up some life to my inspiration on the net yesterday. Thought I'd like to share it with you. Pick up that pencil and start sketching. Here's a cool environmental pencil by Tree Smart. It's made out of old newspapers. How cool is that! Want to grab one soon...Here's the process of making these pencils. Check it out!





Important!! - Recycling a 2 1/2 foot stack of newspapers saves one 20 foot pine tree.

~EarTh HouR~

I had the greatest weekend! Went back to Melaka as usual only this time my bro Abu followed. We were talking all the way from KL to Gadek and one of the topics that came up was of course Earth Hour! Hmm...we were thinking on how we were going to convince our grandma to switch off the lights that night. So then we arrived at kampung, just after I finished helping my grandma cook chicken curry and fried chicken, she said that she's going to switch off the lights tonight! I was like...what the??? My grandma knows about it too? I was thinking really hard on how to break the ice about this topic to her and she surprised me by saying that Datuk Farid of TV3 asked everyone to switch of their lights at 8.30-9.30pm that night. Boy do I want to thank that Datuk. Hehehe...Hey but it's cool right?! My grandma whom is at the age of nearing 80 volunteered to vote for earth! Super cool! Up to date Puan!! Really proud of her...

So we did switched off the lights that night. Puan even did her prayers in the candlelight. Salute you Puan! Since we were quite busy talking during that one hour, I was too distracted to take pictures. But as you can see, these are the two candles that Puan had readied earlier for Earth Hour. Love you bro Abu & Puan!!

Thanks to all those who participated. To Afriza an her two boys who switched off their lights at 8.00pm (bersemangat tuh!!), to Mom in Kota Kinabalu who enjoyed the sea breeze in the solemn dark night and to all my dearest friends whom I love to bits...you know who you are...

Sarangheyo!! Aishteru!!
Love you Earth!! Muahx...
