Earth Hour: Kuala Lumpur Lights Out

Driver: Nak ke mana cik? 

Penumpang : Saya nak ke bandar Sunway. Dekat jer, rumah saya kat Jalan Puki Mak U Lah... 

Driver : Cik, kita ni orang Melayu. Tak boleh ke gunakan bahasa yang lebih sopan. 

Penumpang: Nak sopan macam mana lagi bang. Dah memang itu nama jalannya. 

Driver :   %$#@&*

This is a joke from the plucked from the net.
Pretty fucked up country.

EARTH HOUR
KLCC after 9.30.
KLCC at 9.35
KLCC AT 9.34
KLCC at 9.27
Leka Leka candlelight dinner.


Since it was Earth Hour just now (8.30-9.30), I was out for dinner.
Of course I turned off my usual house lights.

We went to this restaurant in Sri Petaling called Soon Fatt Seafood Restaurant.
It is just opposite the Sri Petaling Hotel.

After dinner, it was just 8.30.
Man, the "turning out the lights thingy just started".
Cannot go back now because we vowed not to turn on the lights before 9.30.
A PROMISE IS A PROMISE.

So we decided to go jalan jalan around Kuala Lumpur to
see how commited KL is towards this event.

First stop.
Starwalk/ Bukit Bintang.

Leka Leka with their lights off.
Diners are having their meals admist candlelights.

Grand LV without the usual chic.

Marriot looks so dull.

People gathering outside Marriot

The Westin is unlighted too.


The first thing I noticed was the dim hotels.
Not just some slum run down hotels.
It was the JW Marriot and Westin.
Amazing hor!!...
These multibillion hotel was able to turn off it's lights for Earth.

Some restaurants such as the Leka Leka turned off their lights 
allowing their diners to dine in a 
romantic candlelight dinner.
