450 ...

450 is a number we must keep in mind ... its a significant number ... its the amount of water in litres an average person in Brunei uses. How much do u pay for that? Well only 5 cents ... harga sebiji gula-gula Hanya Aku Cinta Kau Sayang aka HACKS .... That’s dead cheap. But what is 450 litres of water? Its 300 bottles of air sehat botol basar..300 big bottle sehat will set u back $240... That’s in a day.. $240 dollars a day is $7200 a month ... lapas jua Porsche Cayenne tu bayaran sebulan hehehe ...... 450 is also significant ... that means we have the honour.. The top spot as the nation kuat main aing in this region (steady eh dapat numbor wahid!) .. Malaysia with 220 and Singapore 160...

So where does the 450 litres go to? More than half goes to shower and mandi .... the rest to other house chores such as flushing, washing etc etc ... so we as a nation must be one clean nation as we use such big amount of water .. or is it the effect of all the mandi wajibs (mandatory showers)?

So what’s the point? We can’t go on like this ... we must reduce our water consumption ... but how? Can we stop mandi? Hahah I am sure if we do that, we will get number one in being the smelliest nation ... what an honour! So what can we do? Nda barus gigi? Even worse ... rugi tia kadai kaling (sori ah i don’t mean to be racist) as no one will be buying ubat gigi.. our economy will be affected... if kadai lingka closed down we have to drive so far to get our groceries... so our environment will be more affected ...so what can we do?

According to a few friends in the water business, some simple things will help ... First.. jangan mandi lama-lama even mandi wajibs... don’t play with soap with the tap turned on... this will reduce the water consumption from shower by three times. Another simple one is when brushing your teeth... just use a glass of water with the tape turned off... you will reduce the water consumption from brushing by 45 times! Yes 45 times! There are many others ... to know more you should visit the World Water Day exhibition at the Ministry of Development .. you can even check your bills online but make sure you don’t owe them alot as they will display your bills on a big tv screen hehehe......

Oh... while you are checking your water bill .. you can go on the flying fox ride .. just to bawa rasa after people laugh at you seeing your IOU in the water bill .... or to calm yourself down you can do sport fishing or even walk on the reflexology rocks (ani tutup kadai reflexology hehee) at the beautiful new taman.. after that you can go makan at KFC, lalap, ayam panggang etc or better still make youself look sillier by playing the c Tok Sing Game .. a game where you have to carry two buckets across many hurdles just like the famous night soil businessman in the 60s.. on top of that catch the man made waterfall .. great place to take pictures to be put in your Facebook ...

All in all.. you will have a great time and learn a thing or two... so do come to the exhibition at the KACAKEST building at old airport aka the Ministry of Development .. it will be on from Saturday 2nd May till Friday 8th May 2009 ..... you will have a supa dupa fabulous time ...
