A lohas lifestyle

Yo wazzup people, you are being charmed by the aura of The Simplisiti, can you feel it. Ok, cut the crap, time is very precious! Hello, there
Some are flying to Singapore to enjoy GSS and to watch Merlion, some are in KK for diving (maybe not Kg Katok ), some are Kenali Negara Kitani @ Bandar, some are in KL(perhaps not Kuala Lumut or Kuala Lawas or even Kuala Lurah, Kg Lamunin, it goes on and on), some are in Bangkok having Thai massage, enjoying very bad traffic-jam & maybe watch Tiffany Show. Wherever, you maybe enjoy your holiday fully & have fun shopping, sightseeing, eating, snapping picts and whatever you are doing.
*jumping for no reason suddenly, like orang baru keluar dari Bukit Padang or Tg Rambutan*
Ever seen a shop or a restaurant that will reward you if you help them to wash dishes? Well, I dont think so, that you have unless you have no 'usin' after a meal, and the boss 'kindly' offer you a part-time job to repay it or otherwise other option is to enjoy nasi kuah kari in you-know-where. Well, yesterday I had just seen on TV a restaurant cum a shop, rewards people for being green. For instance, if you read at the shop's environment library for 1hr, you get a stamp. Another is if you help them to wash dishes, you also get a stamp. And lastly, if you bring in things that can be recycle (paper, plastics, aluminium, glass), you also get a stamp. These stamps can be exchanged for discounts of $5 or items from the shop, if you have enough stamps. This is really a good initative to encourage people to 'GO GREEN' and 'EAT ORGANIC' like what the E-Club is trying to do. ISB's Badas Forest Reserve project is also a good one. In a nutshell, lohas lifestyle is about eating healthy organic food (which is difficult to find in Brunei), practice recycling, prudent energy consumption, reduce wastage. (this is not the real definition, its my own definition)
My family had started to practice a green lifestyle too. For instance, when my mum goes shopping, she bring her own green & black cloth bag. When, we go 'tapau' food from Tamu or Sri Selera in Seria, we also started to bring our own container, instead of using those white polystrene containers. (psst, we also got more food, so bring your own container, but its tertakluk kepada budi bicara tauke gerai to give more). I had even started to be 'green' earlier, since Form 4, by using less paper with my tagline slogan: 'The Tree will die or The Tree is crying'. However, it had drawn too much complaints from my teachers, and even one teacher said, write on banana leaf instead or pei to leaves, like Antonia Pigafetta's time.
Ok, I sum it for this time.
Go Green, Go Lohas, Think Small, Big Changes. Chaw!
