Some that knows me would say, "Don't worry, she's used to it so it will be all right." But truthfully, I'm really beat up. I didn't know that standing from 10am to 10pm would actually kill and now, I totally salutes those that stand that long, in heels. For one or two days would be fine, but four damned days? My poor legs are practically screaming to me to sit down and stop standing. Yeah, I'm used to be the one in charge and gets to sit, not the one who only stands and explains whole damned days!
Ok, I'm rambling about the pain I got while working at Sony Expo 2010 in Mid Valley Convention Centre from 1st April til 4th April. My leg hurts from standing for those four damned days and I couldn't even sing anymore even softly along to the radio from shouting because one of the damned game just have to be in front of a speaker. Who would thought those people would be stupid enough to put a speaker there and torture the people who needs to explain activities rules to public? I was stationed at that place for 2 days and it's enough to kill me. Thank god nobody was stationed there for 4 days, or else... I just can't imagine one going mute...
Beginning it was boring, seriously. Thank god I've got colleagues from AS to visit me for lunch and dinner break. I barely know anyone there and I gotta admit, opening my mouth to a bunch of people who I think that is way lot younger than I am is kinda hard. Days passed and things go on much easier for me. Mingling around turns out to be fun and even got to know some crappy people. Tough, but yes, definitely fun by the end of the day.
I'm just too lazy to continue and I still want my sweet rest to purify my poor body and my face poisoned from all those damn make ups. Best thing of the event ever, I told some friends I didn't eat much and I manage to blow their mind with that. "YOU ?! KRISTY ?! NOT EATING ?! WHO KIDNAPPED HER ?!" Thanks for the experiences !

What a Joke !
KUALA LUMPUR — Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Malaysia’s premier energy provider today announced that they were taking legal action against the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) for organising the Earth Hour, a global movement that makes a stand against climate change by turning off all non-essential lights and electrical equipment for an hour every year.
In a Press conference, TNB president and CEO Dato’ Sri Che Khalib Mohd Noh said that the annual worldwide symbolic gesture, which this year would be observed this Saturday at 8.30pm, is nothing more than an ‘arrogant and thoughtless viral movement’ aimed to hurt power companies such as TNB.
CHE KHALIB: These people are inconsiderate
“Obviously these green-minded fellows think they’re really cute, organising such an irresponsible campaign,” said Che Khalib angrily. “They say ‘turn off your lights for an hour’ and people do. I bet that really makes them feel all powerful.
“What these western colonialists fail to grasp is how such drastic action affects the poor companies like us. One hour of unused electricity means an hour of wastage for TNB. Did you know that last year’s Earth Hour costed us millions in unrealised revenue?” asked Che Khalib, seething.
“How do you think that affected our production? We couldn’t exactly turn off our power plants just because a large number of Malaysians turn off their lights at the same time. So imagine all that wasted energy.
“This year, we expect even more people to fall for this global con-job,” added Che Khalib. “So there’ll be more lights turned off. KL alone would be engulfed in darkness. Yes, sure, it may seem fun to some, running around in complete darkness. But that also means TNB would get less money. Tell me, what am I supposed to say to the kids of this electrical technician when we can’t give bonus this year?” asked Che Khalib, as he pointed to a TNB staff manning the lights for the Press conference.
He added, “In light of such inconsiderate actions by these tree huggers, TNB has no choice but to take legal action against the Earth Hour organizers, WWF. We’ll wait for our accountants to come back with the loss figure after this year’s Earth Hour, and we plan to sue them for that same amount. We may even add a hundred million ringgit or so, to teach them a lesson.”
Che Khalib also reminded Malaysians to ignore the Earth Hour, calling it a ‘cultural invasion, a concerted assault by extreme liberal forces aimed to destabilize poorer nations’.
“We are Malaysians, and we should be proud of our lights. Every night we should go out and see the beautiful sparkling lights in our city skylines. Don’t be ashamed of the lights,” said Che Khalib, as he unveiled a set of pictures showing the Petronas Twin Towers and the surrounding buildings consequently going dark during last year’s Earth Hour.
DARK TIMES: KLCC buildings going dark last year
“See this? See how ugly, gloomy and dark the last picture is? God knows how many people tripped over things and hurt themselves in the complete darkness, not to mention the number of bad people going around doing naughty things, knowing the authorities could not see them.
“Let’s reverse the order of these pictures this year, and fight for the rights to our lights,” continued Che Khalib. “Let’s unite as 1Malaysia, and tell these green terrorists that we will not go dark! We will not switch off! Let’s tell them that we love our lights!
“POWERRR… EXTREME!” he screamed, as powerful clusters of foglamps flooded the conference room with ultra-bright and hot light, temporarily blinding everyone present, and signaling the end of the Press conference.

Seriously, I don't bother placing the pictures here. I just find the article itself is hilarious enough. If this article is true, then our country, Malaysia, electric provide company, Tenaga National Berhad, is a real joke by supporting the end of the world. But... let's face it...
