A darker hour

Did I say wet morning? Well, it was a wet afternoon and a wet night too. The rain's stopped in Bukit Mertajam just a short while ago so I had no chance to go outside the house to see what the neighbourhood was up to during this year's Earth Hour.

But from my window, I did see an unusually dimmer road. Except for the porch lights, many of the houses were in darkness. Even for my neighbour two doors down the road, where a karaoke session had started at 7.30pm, the noise had died down by 8.30pm.

So I would say, yes, Earth Hour was probably better observed here this year than last year.
