earth hour 2009 has passed!

So, guys, how was your Earth Hour. Mine was uneventful. I was excited at first ~ during the countdown ~ after that, it just feel like another blackout or just switching off the lights. Though I did make a big deal - EVERYONE has to turn off their lights. Even the aquariums. In my house only one light was left open - Mama's bed side lamp - coz she was sleeping Inaayah (grammar?).
My dad called (he had a seminar at a hotel at Putrajaya) to tell us that the hotel was dark. Uh-huh. He was eating at the cafe restaurant when the lights were switched off. He ate in the dark, I guess. Cool.
I messaged all my friends and some of my family member to remind them of the event that morning. And during the earth hour me and Farah messaged each other. She and her family ate with candles as the source of light. Her brothers were so excited according to her. My brother? Well, they watched pokemon and it was damn bright upstairs (from the tv). So I insist they paused the video and watched on later. After that, they were - how to put this lightly - a bit of a coward. Scared of the dark - they exaggerated a bit. Hazwan and Haziq insisted that I'd be with them when they were not in Mama's room.
In the middle of Earth Hour, 30 mins and counting we played shadows with my SE LED light. It was bright. We had fun - sorta - it was my sheme to keep them occupied from bothering me. Hehehe. Later - 5 or 10 mins or so, Hazwan and Haziq played with their own phones , I read, Haikal listened to loud music and Iliya was the only one playing shadows with my occasionally "participation".
One hour passed and I messaged Farah saying = That's it! Earth hour is over.
My cowardly brothers went shouting and whooping and ran to switched practically all the lights. Well, not all.
Anyway, I took pics but all that you can see are black squares. Yeeshh.. So I wont bother to put them up. =D

To all who participated = thank you for your votes and being concious of our dere conditions - global warming and all.
