Glass Straws invade McDonald's!

I invaded McDonald by getting a group of like minded to bring our plates when ordering. We called it the Green Mob.

This entry is to tell you that I really had done that and still doing it!

I blogged about using reusable straws previously and it got attention from a friend of mine, Danny who is also interested in saving the environment. He thus ordered some from Glass Dharma and it was here 2 weeks ago!

I was so thrilled with them. I took a look at them every other day! *like my babies...*

We did a mob like event in McDonald again but this time, the focus is all on the lovely glass straws.

I will come back with pictures and details soon!

Dear Forest

Dear forest,

I never know that I had been taking advantage of you. I never know until I was taught about PENCEMARAN (pollution) in primary school. I only knew what that suppose to mean and what kind of impacts it should have so we can score well in our essay writing. I never tried to find out more about you and I am very sorry.

Please excuse those who have not found who you really are for I was once one of them. The nearest forest is the Botanical Garden and there I was, thinking that there is nothing wrong with you while people had been removing parts of you away so we can live.

I learnt that I should be living with you instead of living by casting you out.

I was happier when we have not moved out from the old residence. I was surrounded by big trees and river. I know then I will be very happy with you...

It's your day soon and this is the least I can do for you. Allow me to get nearer to you again.

Love,

Catherine

Replying Y*O*U

I am reading between the lines. I know I am not good in it for I always tell you to your face.

I am providing you a venue which you can employ and house your fear and torture.

I am watching you.

I am listening to your moves. They tell tales.

I am here with you.

Muaks~

I had one autistic moment:-

SP : Cat, do you have tissue paper?

Me : Yeah, I do.

SP : *Waiting for me to take out the tissue paper from bag*

SP : Cat?

Me : Ha?!

SP : Tissue paper?

Me : *Surprised* Oh!! Sorry... *Hand the tissue*

.............................................................

Oh yeah, I am going to watch Kings of Convenience. Mind you!

Syndrome and A Century

Very inspired to do this post as I know if I do not, I will not be able to trace my very first thoughts about this movie. I can be forgetful but I guess this is one of the movies that I do not wanna forget.

I consider myself as an Annexe Gallery frequent visitor and I am always up for the movies that they select every first Monday of the month. The movies were selected by local professionals in the film making industry. Always more than excited to watch them. As you know, good movies are not always shown in cinema and most importantly, not many people are into movies which they think they will doze from the start till the end; ignoring the essence of the movie.

There I was with @DanMaverick to watch this movie "Syndrome and a Century". Luckily he was free then =P

The movie was selected by Tan Chui Mui, a Malaysian filmmaker.

We went around the gallery to have a look of the pictures and displays with the title of Kuala Lumpur Dreaming.

Jerome and Tan Chui Mui

What I saw from the movie:-

1. Shift of the mode of interaction: causes

a) modern architectural design

b) medical procedure that lacks human touch

c) other forms of cultural influences mainly the west

d) change of the available venues for businesses and interactions

e) the way people resolve their unfavorable emotions

2. Appreciation for the nature - which is apparently less in the modern scene in the movie. People no longer go deep into the jungle to search for Orchid; for health reasons or entertaining elements, we engage in physical exercise in the man made park.

I can't really elaborate much if you have not seen the film. Every scene of the movie, though their linkages are not clear, I believed they have their own interpretation and thus representation.

By the end of movie,

Chui Mui: Do you look at the sky sometime?

Me: *Secretly thought to myself* I look at dirty longkang more often...

=P

Great Movies

Sien! SO many good movies and so little access to them...
