Dunkin's Donut Goes Green


Most of the coffee and baked food franchise construct a green project. See how Dunkin's Donut goes green.

The St. Petersburg restaurant is built in the Dunkin’ Donuts flagship model design and features include: energy-efficient insulated concrete foam walls to reduce air conditioning usage by approximately 40%, energy-efficient lighting, including motion sensors for restrooms and offices, water-efficient plumbing fixtures, low-flush toilets, and the usage of well water rather than potable water for all irrigation.

Marking the company’s foray into building and operating environmentally friendly facilities, the location’s green initiatives include recycling programs involving worm casting and food donations to the local food bank. Green cleaning is also being practiced at the store.

It looks like Starbucks is in for some competition in the green image arena. While that company has a history of sustainable actions, earlier this month U.K. newspaper The Sun reported that the purveyor of coffee was wasting up to 6 million gallons of water each day in its stores. The company has since stated that it has changed policies–water used to rinse utensils will now be turned off between rinsings, rather than constantly running during business hours as had previously been done.

kindergarden life

Mum find out some old photos when clearing those parcels in garage. We have not open up those boxes since we moved back from KL 13 years ago. Sometimes, feel missing myself. Am i a big city girl in KL or a small town girl in Ipoh? What would i be if i live in KL and never move to Ipoh? Will i have a totaly different lifestyle like now? Will i met those good friends in Ipoh again? Lost in my own thinking. Anyway, if i have a chance to make a change in my life. I rather choose the life that i have walked through. I want to meet those people i know here and live in the same place. I just need to have a simple life.



I am not that remember what happened on that day but i knew my kindergarden life is full of joy. Every month, teachers organized a birthday party to celebrate with those who are birthday in that particular month. Then, all students will gather together to have games or singing or dancing. The photo shows the celebrating for birthday kids in March. It was captured in Lai Meng Kindergarden School , Jalan Amplang, KL. I can't recognized those kindergarden mates. Although one or two of them looks so familiar to me , i still don't know their name. I think we all seperated when move to primary school.



Look ! This girl is so cruel!! ahahah ~ ORZ~ Donald Duck, one of the famous cartoon characters on that century. He even act as a main character in the birthday cake.

Izima Kaoru art works

Izima Kaoru , born in 1954, Kyoto. Since 1993 the Japanese photographer Izima Kaoru has been creating scenes of sophisticated violence and enchanting horror. Landscapes with a Corpse is the title of his project. He invited actresses and models to reveal to him their fantasies about a perfect death: above all he asked them which designer clothes they would like to wear when they died. And so the photos that show the crime scene (or that of natural death) do not allude to something fatal and irreversible but a kind of elegant and highly aesthetic ceremony.

Right : 'Landscape with a corpse'





I like those photos he took. Those model looks cool lying down like a dead object. Am i abnormal?
