goodbye 2007

2007 is the year I started blogging. I was somewhat surprised at that I had posted. Hm...I enjoy that variety in my blog.

One thing I didn't appreciate about this blog is the hiccups in getting my blog posted. Even this one has problem when I entered earlier. I do not know if you can view this post, certainly I couldn't. This is why I added this.

It's amazing what one can write and as I read those written from my virtual friends, I'd gleaned much. I must say we are really an interesting bunch! I hope we can still keep in touch through this special way.

Here's wishing my virtual friends a year of wonder, bright and breaming with joyous activities for 2008!

070707

070707 is Live Earth commemorative day!

Sydney and Tokyo were the first to stage these concerts and closing at New Jersey and Rio de Janerio. There had been countdowns for the past few days! Certainly excitement had been generated. What do the organisers hope to achieve?

Al Gore, the organiser of this event said, "By engaging individuals all over the world, Live Earth will drive corporations and governments to tackle the climate crisis." I wonder! I must be getting old...

Celebrities were invited to stage...is this publicity stunt for them? Are they paid for the occasion? Imagine the amount of electricity to power these concerts -- mixed message for energy conservation?

I was told proceeds from the ticket sales were used "to distribute power-efficient light bulbs and other measures which will offset the shows' greenhouse gas emission"! Really?

Today's number is 777.

The evening news in Singapore had 777 solemnised marriages at the registry of marriage today!

Two years ago on this day, suicide bombers attacked the London Underground!

Update. The new 7 wonders of the world released.
