Skydeck in Chicago

Labels:

Wah, nice view. Saw this in CNN’s list of 8 places every American should see! All places are boring except Skydeck (IMO).

Maybe I should make my house’s balcony looks like this. Added feature to mine: A slide that leads straight to my swimming pool.

Rising Price of Fuel....
That is also conjunction with the rising price of fuel in my country(Malaysia) right now. RM2.70 per liter of fuel is the price of fuel right now. It is an increased of 78sen which is 40%. Yesterday, it was a hot topic in my family. My brother was talking non-stop about the effect of that increasement in my family and he was murmuring, nagging all the time. As I was travelling to my uncle's house yesterday, I saw the traffic jam was so bad until we took 40mins to reach my uncle's house that usually took us about 15mins. I didn't catch a photo of that scene but I linked this photo here from Utusan Malaysia Online.

Global warming......
This is perhaps the hottest topic of our world right now(except the food inflation thing). Most people still think that the few degrees of change in our earth temperature won't really affect much on us and everything else. For me, what I can do right now is to recycle as much as I can. In fact, my friends call the recycling 'freak'. However, what really sadden me is that people still having this sense of laziness or 'don't mind' attitude towards recycling.

Even my friends and my family members do not really care to recycle. Every time I advise them, they will just "Ah, what for...is not that you recycle that much of things will change the world". That's the point. If everyone thinks like me and recycle everyday, then the world will be saved. I believe that if everyone does not act now, the world will not be the same anymore.

Well since today is Earth Day, these are some websites' links that are sort of related to it:
