Lets Celebrate Earth Hour On The Lot 10 Rooftop KL

Hi Korang,

Some info for Earth Hour 2012.

YTL Corporation Berhad has traditionally celebrated Earth Hour every year since Malaysia’s first Earth Hour in 2009. This year, the company will yet again be inviting the public to share in its Earth Hour celebrations on the Rooftop of Lot 10, KL, from 8:30pm to 10pm on Saturday, 31 March 2012. YTL Corporation Berhad, the initiator for Earth Hour support along the Bukit Bintang district and widely recognized for its long standing commitment to sustainability and environmental activities, will be reinforcing the global collaborative message of hope and action against climate change this year in line with the Earth Hour theme “I Will If You Will”.

This year, the company is upping its commitment of the Earth Hour initiative at Lot 10, KL, treating the public to a mini open air concert under the stars, featuring a spectacular fire show, local artists Diandra Arjunaidi and Bo Amir Iqram, instrumental performances by the Tugu Drum Circle and even a mini petting zoo for animal lovers. Special Earth Hour merchandise will also be available at booths set up by The National Geographic Store, KL. To top it all off, guests can indulge in an eco-dining experience with special menus at Teeq Brasserie, participating in the celebration overlooking the gorgeous KL skyline.

The event at Lot 10, in collaboration with Bukit Bintang, will be graced by Joseph Yeoh, Vice President of YTL Hotels & Resorts and YTL Land, and Ralph Dixon, Director of Environmental Investments at YTL Corporation Berhad.

YTL Corporation Berhad will cut 1398kg* of carbon emissions across 15 properties in Malaysia and Singapore for their 90 minute Earth Hour initiative, through the shutting down of non essential lights. This amount is equivalent to almost 8,290 hours or 1,040 working days of computer usage.

Ruth Yeoh, YTL Corporation Berhad’s Director of Investments who leads the Sustainability Division at YTWL states, “We are committed in our support towards Earth Hour as it represents YTL Corporation’s sustainability journey and responsibility in striving to make better choices for future generations”. She further emphasized, “We firmly believe in doing our part to make the world a better and safer place to live in. However, change can only take place when individuals unite to bring about awareness. We hope we can encourage people to join us in our Earth Hour celebrations and activities globally.”

At Starhill Gallery, Malaysia’s renowned youth environmental group, ”The Trees Theatre Group”, will be performing an environmental-themed play, followed by a “wayang kulit” (shadow-puppetry) performance. Shoppers can participate in the lighting up of a specially created Earth Hour logo at Feast Village, where food enthusiasts can also experience eco-dining through Earth Hour menus available in the evening at Shook!, Starhill Gallery’s Asian and European showcase restaurant.

Guests at YTL Hotels including Tanjong Jara Resort, The Vistana Kuala Lumpur, The Majestic Malacca and Spa Village Resort Tembok, Bali, will also get a chance to share Earth Hour through candlelit dinners with specially created Earth Hour themed menus, while being serenaded by live music.

“Our customers and guests are one of our top priorities and we want to celebrate Earth Hour with them and our wider stakeholders by having a line-up of interesting events and activities so that 31 March 2012 will mark a special day for all to participate in and remember,” stated Ruth Yeoh.

The unmistakably Malay Tanjong Jara Resort will be offering guests live entertainment in candlelight by manipulating the light and shadows with a “wayang kulit” performance. Low Carbon Footprint mocktails will be served throughout Earth Hour to add to the experience.

At Vistana Kuala Lumpur, complimentary low-energy snacks will be served while walkways and common areas will be lined with atmospheric tea lights to lead guests to their candlelit dinner at the Coffee House.

The Majestic Malacca will also be lining their walkways and common areas with tea lights while guests enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner at The Mansion with an accompanying performance by a talented local pianist.

A natural ambiance will be created for guests at Spa Village Resort Tembok, Bali to capture the essence of Earth Hour with their poolside lined with candles, out under the stars and by the beach. To mark the occasion, guests will be treated to a live Gamelan performance while they enjoy a barbeque dinner.

YTL Corporation’s Earth Hour activities will also extend into Singapore with their subsidiaries, Starhill Global REIT and PowerSeraya, whom will also encourage the public to pledge for Earth Hour through lights-off initiatives in Wisma Atria and an eco-carnival with a live concert, including the first ever 60+ human formation during the nationwide Earth Hour countdown at Ngee Ann City’s Civic Plaza on Orchard Road.

Earth Hour will also be shared with guests at YTL Hotels worldwide including the JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur, The Ritz Carlton Kuala Lumpur, Pangkor Laut Resort, Cameron Highlands Resort, The Green Leaf Niseko Village and Hilton Niseko Village in Japan, and The Surin in Phuket.

In total, 36 YTL properties and subsidiaries will be participating in Earth Hour this 31 March 2012, an increase from 31 from the previous year.

Hunger Games Premiere Screening

Hi Korang,

Lama dah tak pi dating tengok wayang kan. So Mr Big apply citer Hunger Games ni. Then dapat plak ticket free dari Nuffnang. Apalagi pi lah tengok kat E-Curve. Ramai betul orang coz ada yang dapat free ticket dari company lain gak. Nak masuk pun boleh jem coz diorg nak check bag bagai kan.

Sempatlah sembang2 dengan Putra87, si pengantin baru Jamar dan Cik Nunu, adik beradik Zaid dan Uzair sementara nak masuk tuh.

Meh layan sinopsis sket filem Hunger Games ni:

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Bagi aku:-

Jalan citernya slow sket. Aku hampir nak tertido untuk 1/2 jam yang pertama. Biasalah nak tunjuk pemandangan dalam District 12 tuh. Then barulah rancak sket dan faham jalan ceritanya. Game pasal hidup dan mati. Ada 24 peserta dan 1 je pemenang so kenalah diorg ni bunuh each other untuk survive. Action pun ngeri2 gak aku tengok.

Cam biasa Mr Big bagi 3/5 je coz dia rasa citer ni mengaibkan citer realiti tv. Last minute boleh tukar rules plak kan. Nasib baik budak berdua tu bijak so selamatlah diorg. Tapi ada yang tak selamat tau jeng jeng jeng..

Tak kan aku nak citer semua, korang pi tengok sendiri kat panggung je.

Aku Suka Nasi Ayam Hailam

Hi Korang,

Sapa tak suka nasi ayam? angkat tangan cepat. Hah bagus tak de orang pun yang angkat. Gila ke tak suka nasi ayam. Sedap tuh. I like!

Hari tu aku purposely pegi makan nasi ayam hailam ni kat Damansara Uptown. Alah sebaris dengan Starbucks kat corner tuh. Ermm windu betul nak pi makan kat sana lah. Ntah tak tau kenapa, memang nasi ayam ni jadi favourite time lunch masa aku keje kat Subang dulu.

Apa yang sedap? may be ayamnya kot. Banyak isinya dalam satu pinggan. Walaupun part isi tapi takde lah dagingnya keras sangat kan.

Kemudian di tambah plak dengan minuman air soya sejuk sebotol ni mana tak mantapnya kan. Lagilah bertambah2 aku makan. Langsung tak pandang kiri kanan orang lalu lalang kan.

Satu hidangan lengkap nasi ayam hailam. Ada sup, sambal cili dan sambal putih (halia + bawang putih kot) aku rasalah lepas aku makan. Selalunya ktorg mesti order 3 pinggan nasi ayam hailam ni, yang satu tu extra untuk tambah. Teruk kan, kuat makan sesangat but I like!

Hah kat sinilah ktorg makan. Nasi ayam hailam Damansara Utama branch. Diorg tak silap aku ada branch kat   Ampang Point dan Bukit Bintang gak.

Korang suke nasi ayam tak?

CLP notes : Nasib baik tak kuar kepak kan, asyik makan nasi ayam je selalu

Pentingnya Pengetahuan ‘Malaysia Mummies’ Mengenai Keperluan Nutrisi Si Kecil

Hi Korang,

Hari tuh aku dapat join an informative talk from Nutrition Society Of Malaysia (NSM) mengenai pemakanan si kecil ni. 

Eh, eventho aku ni belum lagi mommy to-be but this talk memang best banyak sangat mengajar sesuatu.

Emcee for this programme is Naz which is aku rasa dia memang teruja sekali coz his wife is expecting for 9 month pun ada ikut sekali join talk ni. Kira nak tambah ilmu pengetahuan.

Dr Tee E Siong selaku presenter dalam programme ni dan juga President of Nutrition Society Of Malaysia bercerita mengenai kajiselidik yang telah di jalankan kepada 300 ibu-ibu di Malaysia ni tentang pemilihan makanan yang sesuai untuk anak-anak mereka yang berumur 1 hingga 3 tahun.

Dari survey tu NSM mendapati 74% mummies tak pandai nak baca nutrition information label kat produk makanan kanak2. Majoriti beli disebabkan packaging yang cantik dan juga kalau ada dapat freebies yang menarik.  Then dalam survey lain,ada plak 55% mummies yang baca nutrition information label tu dan percaya lebih bagus jika ada satu kandungan paling tinggi dalam produk tersebut yang sesuai untuk anak2 mereka tanpa mengetahui jenis2 nutrisi yang lain.

Ada plak 68% mummies yang beli susu itu apa yang kengkawan lain cadangkan dan juga iklan di media electronic dan massa tanpa hiraukan faktor2 nutrisi samaada sesuai atau tidak untuk si manja mereka.

Memula tuh aku pun cam pelik gak, percentage yang NSM bagi ni but lepas tengok video yang ditayangkan masa diorg conduct the survey that baru aku percaya apa yang diorg maksudkan tuh. Maybe diorg ni tak de masa nak baca or survey pasal pemakanan anak-anak ni kan. Janji cukup makan, cukup pakai dah lah kan. Zaman sekarang ni segalanya nak mudah dan cepat kan.

Serius memang banyak ilmu dan infomasi yang aku dapat tahu dari programme ni. Nanti aku share dengan korang cam ne nak memilih makanan yang sesuai dengan membaca nutrition information label kat sesuatu produk tu ek.

So thank you Nutrition Society Of Malaysia coz sudi jemput aku dalam majlis ilmu cam ni. Yang pasti aku sekarang dah tahu camne nak pilih growing up milk untuk child bila aku ada anak nanti. Bukan setakat susu malah makanan2 lain jugak lah.

Untuk nak tahu lebih details pasal tips and informasi mengenai pemakanan korang leh check it out kat Nutrition Society Of Malaysia punya website www.nutriweb.org.my. Or korang je je call Abbott Nutrition Careline di 1800-88-6233, Monday – Friday (9am - 6pm).
