Not sure whether news in Singapore was sufficiently extensive or not but judging from what I can glean from Channelnewsasia, it seems that there wasn't gazillion candles lighted up last night during Earth Hour (8.30pm - 9.30pm). There were some from the video I viewed but at least it seems to be only 1 candle per group of 5 people. Ironically, the next scene was presumably a spokeswoman for the organiser saying something about encouraging people to "reduce carcon emissions".

What did impress me this year was that the energy used to light up the stage of the singers was entirely from biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil. I do wonder though how's its carbon footprint stacks up against hydroelectric power.

During that time, I was having delicious expensive dinner with 3 other friends at the restaurant Desire at Scarlet Hotel (a boutique hotel). The menu is called the Book of Desire :P

At one point, we were talking about movies:

"Oh that's just similar to the movie we watched (struggling to remember the name)."

"Marley and Me?"

"Bob and Marley? Ehhh"

"Bob Marley?! Thought that's an actor's name?"

"No, he's a singer."

Hehe... as alex says, the lights don't make a difference, it's just the awareness really. Call it a publicity gimmick.

I guess what Ban meant was on the long term effect. People become more aware and may practice it on their daily life
