Feeling kinda weirdo to see my full name in the newspaper....I am currently handling this Earth Hour project at HESC and this press from Malay Mail called and interviewed me. I wasn't even ready for her questions~ But the outcome seems to be 'OK' lol. Hope the project this weekend goes on well...I may need to learn how to answer the press in a proper way and not with lots of uhm's and ah's lol~~

MALAYSIAN youth are also making themselves heard while helping spread the word about Earth Hour 2009.The HELP Environmental Science Club (HESC) of HELP college will be working closely with World Wide Fund for Nature Malaysia to organise Earth Hour Awareness Drive — which will take place at 10am this Saturday at the lower ground floor of the One Utama shopping complex’s new wing.

“On that day, we will invite all interested parties to ‘Vote Earth’ and to sign on the giant pledge board that we have,” said project leader Sam Jia Pei, who is an A-level student at the college.

“We want to promote this initiative to reach out to as many out there as possible.” Sam said this is the club’s first major project, with a lot more to come. The club will also be helping the college save on electricity.

“If we successfully help reduce the electricity bill of our college, our club will proceed to other colleges to offer advice on how to cut down on electricity use, and therefore cut down on globalwarming.”

Sam added that while what they are doing was not an earth-shattering change, every little bit counted.“I would like to appeal to the youth out there to make a little effort to reduce consumption as it could change the world in a big way.”
