I went to watch 2012 last night. I was supposed to watch the 6.15pm one, but when I arrived there, it's already 6.25, so I decided to buy tickets for the 9.15pm one. There are three halls showing the same movie and the same time, yet all the tickets were sold out! Now that is shocking! This is Alor Star and it was a MONDAY night. 0.0 So me and my friend decided to wait for the reserved tickets to be released. We stood there from 8.15 until 8.45 just to get two tickets. I was getting frustrated.
The movie was good, in fact, it was really good. It made me want to cry throughout the movie. It wasn't the effects that attracted me, nor was it the plot of the movie. It was the fact that our Earth is going to undergo drastic changes, changes that will cause a massive wipeout of the human population. I'm not going to write too much about the movie, in case some of you still haven't watch it. All I have to say that the movie really serves as a reminder to all the humans on Earth that we're destroying the planet! We're like torching our own house! It's so hard to get people to understand that our planet is getting more and more sick, and Mother Nature is really angry with us.
There was once I told a friend, we should really cut down on the usage of plastic bags. Unless you're going to reuse them, don't take plastic bags from the grocery stores! If you know you're going to throw them away, why take them? You're creating a piece of rubbish just for five seconds of convenience! OK, so this friend, I told him we should use less plastic bags, he replied "I'm just not that recycle kind of person" So when are we going to take responsibility?! When are people going to realize that just one small change in your daily life, you're doing the Earth a favor! And the most ironic thing is, we live on the Earth, yet we're destroying it!
Well, I think the wait for the tickets was really worth it. And I realize that my ability to express myself in writing is deteriorating. :(
ohh i wanna watch that movie!
ReplyDeleteWhen will Starbucks realise they are creating thousands of rubbish that they can recycle everyday???!!!! >:(
ReplyDeletethey can reduce some of the paper cups and plastic cups by simply asking the customers "do you wanna have in or takeaway?" if the customers say have in (which most of them will)then provide them with mugs. every customer that use a mug will help reduce one paper/ plastic cup each time they visit.
also, is it so hard to separate paper and plastic cups so the rubbish collector can recycle them??!!
i dun mind doing a lil bit extra work to separate them just for Mother Nature's sake.
each day a Starbucks store will have up to 500++ transactions!!! imagine everyone of them uses paper or plastic cups!!! >:(
me not happy!!!
oh there is another un-environmentalfriendly thing about Starbucks is their policy on providing the customers with fresh water everytime. in order to provide customers with coffee that is made using the freshest water, they are required to keep the tap running all the time. I could not believe it when i first started working there!!! can you believe it??? open tap kept running all the time!!!! my lecturer once told me research have been done on Starbucks in US and the result shows that the quantity of water used by a Starbucks store in a day (i think or mayb a month i cant remember well) is enough to feed a small country!!!
arghhh!!! when will they (the top management level)ever realise that they are harming the environment???!!!
me sad...me frustrated...cuz no one will listen to a low-experience barista. :(
just want to share with somebody about this. sorry about any syntax error.
Wow. That's a long comment. :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they run their taps all day to ensure the water is fresh. Well, since their drinks are not cheap anyways, I'm going to boycott them.
Ah haa.. That's an interesting fact to know. I have never heard about it from my friend although she works in Starbucks.
ReplyDeleteBtw, Yi Jiun is your younger sister?
Yes she is. :)
