Sheep happens.

How were we supposed to know that the Earth Hour event was so crappy? Gee whiz. Yeah, being in town for all the Earth Hour buzz was pretty cool, since not many companies/shops bothered with turning their lights off.

They did turn the Singapore Flyer lights off but the bloody thing was still spinning.

Then came the great light-up. The candle-holding fiesta had so few people in it they couldn't make the phrase they were going to make, which was okay, but what the heck? They told us to be there at 6.30 pm and nothing happened until whoknowswhen. We ended up watching the awesome 24-hour tag videos on my phone for about an hour before getting in line, and woohoo the street lights were on and covering all our candlelight. Sat there for a while before.. Running off and leaving the candles behind.

Walked over to Esplanade Park to find that it wasn't much either, so we just walked away. The plan was to go for dinner at Marina Square, but we ended up in front of the Esplanade to watch the even-greater light-up.

It was 8.30 pm. The end of Earth Hour! Shaw house blasted their corporate logo through the sky almost immediately, the yellow Maybank emblem glowed in pride and the Esplanade itself started sparking up. By about 8.45 it was business as usual and we went on for dinner at Carl's.

Speaking of energy conservation.. I just burned an air ticket today :D
