How big is your footprint?

Yo Mat Riders,

Mat was sick last week ah. ALamak, go see doctor here can die man. So here right, cannot just anyhow walk in man. Must make appointment lah, so only can see 2 days later for Mat. Then medicine got to take from pharmacy, then also got to wait 2 hours. Alamak, a lot of people also sick lah but not as sick as Gaia.



Gaia is the a complex entity involving the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and soil; the totality constituting a feedback or cybernetic system which seeks an optimal physical and chemical environment for life on this planet. Cheemmmmmm.....

How big is your footprint, the one you leave permanently on Gaia? Let Mat put it this way. By 2050, if the demand remains at the same level as now ah, we will need 2 more planet Earths worth of resource to support us. Where to find 2 more? You know, better faster tell Mat. Scareded or not? Mat very scareded man. How will my mini Mats survive man?

So ah macam man? What can we do?

Preserve, if cannot, then conserve lah. Let Gaia heal. Do not mine the resource but farm the resource. Look around your house lah, look at the lightbulb. Do you use incandescent or flourescent bulb?

Flourescent bulb outlasts 13 incandescent bulbs


Flourescent bulb saves energy and $$$ (up to 10x savings)


Flourescent bulbs are cooler (80% of energy consumed in incandescent bulb is wasted heat)


How Mat Riders? Be a man! Do the right thing!



YESSAH!

Private Property

Yo Mat Riders,

Mat has been thinking about this for a week man. What really is ownership, private property ah? Alamak, picture this, bunch of first Mats on planet Earth, all relac one corner. Nothing to buy, nothing to own. So someone got tired living in a cave and built a house. Then made a fence to keep out the tigers and keep in the goats.

So, here's the question.... the 1st Mat to invent private property is the guy who built the fence and said everything inside belongs to him or the Mat who believed him....

YESSAH,
Mat Love

PISS: Kallang

Yo Mat Riders,

Something an anonymous person wrote on Mat's blog gave Mat a Eureka. Remember or not the PISS: Geylang blog. This is version lumber 2.

Version Lumber 2: Orang Gallang

Another possible origin to Geylang is the early presence of the fierce orang gallang tribe, one of the many orang laut tribal groups that lived along the coasts and rivers of Singapore island. The orang gallang were well-known for their piracy and pillaging of helpless craft in seas around Singapore island.



Maybe ah, the same thing happen to Kallang like what happen to Geylang. Geylang Serai suppose to be Kilang Serai kena bastardized. Mat will relac one corner and ponder.

YESSAH!
