Its 2.15am now
Sincerely i thank god for arriving home safely without any trouble with cops as well.
Not to forget that i actually had like 6 glasses of hard liquor. Yeah, i did feel a little light headed for a good 15 mins. But soon after its all alright.
Of course I wished i was still in that drowsy condition, at least till I came home and fall asleep.
...
..
.
I never wanted to go since the time i got the invite. Probably bout 130% of confirmation. But he's been a good buddy to me. Bros before hoes. Lol. Yeah, go vote for Barack instead of Hillary.
It never change a single bit. Same old feeling never failed to struck me, after goddamn fucking 2 half to 3 years (3Y).
Well, how bout adding in another additional different case? I will call it the 5 months (5m)
Miux, you blardy sucked big time. Friggin loser whose still carrying the guilt behind his back.
I still couldnt forgive myself. All these while I tried so hard to let all of these to go. But nothing seems to change. Been avoiding and and cutting all sorts of communication with 3Y and somehow it just got worse.
I dunno if i did enjoy myself earlier on. Half of the time i was just looking at the time, hoping it would reach 1pm faster and everything will end there.
The drinks was good in a sense that you do tend to forget everything on that moment and go light headed.
Probably another half of the time i was tryin to suppress or wipe away my emotions, distracting myself and clenching my hands together.
If on a scale of being down, it would probably be at least 8.
With 5M, its probably the guilt of wasting opportunity and being a drag.
Shit, could never forgive myself for causing all these.
Don't get me wrong. I couldnt be any happier for him and her. Its just me, thats all.
Since 2 years ago, i realised i never quite fit into any group of frens or acquaintances. I refused to make that as a fact. And everything ended up as trying too hard. My sis was probably right all the way long. We were more different from the rest of the social majorities.
Anyway it does feel much better saying it out to the cyberspace.
And i assumed that this post gonna create another tiny commotion. So yeah, two choices:
1.) Try to take this as a random 'light' reading without any relation to me
2.) Ignore this post, as technically its written by the drunken me anyway. Seriously, I could be rambling bout nothing
Shit, i'm so gonna drive the girls away with this post :P But i have to do this, there's no other way i could release my feelings out. Half of the ppl said i'm emotionless, and i will say that sometimes keeping it in is a better option.
I would never want to lose any friends as well because of my issues. That explains why I hesitated a lot when it comes to talking bout this.
Anyway, good day to you all. I'm gonna hit the sacks now and hopefully tmrw morning i would be able to say to myself again "I'm going to have a happy day today"

Reusable Chopsticks
It might be a good thing...or not, but yeah, my silly face came out in the papers.
It was Wednesday's Star 2, Youth 2 section. Here's the online article, of course without my face. Since it might be wasting its bandwidth :P
http://thestar.com.my/youth2/story.asp?file=/2008/4/23/youth2/21017660&sec=youth2
In fact, alot of people doubted my statements in the article. lol.
Let me ask you a simple question, how often do you see me using disposable chopsticks or eating noodles at hawker stalls?
Cause chances are, you will always see me online or at the mamak stall :)
Haha, I'm sure you will have a chance to see me using it sooner or later.
But of course, I did use it from now and then
And let me reason it out to you why its such a bad idea to use disposable chopsticks.
1.) Ever noticed how white all the wooden chopsticks you saw at Sushi King or those nicely packed plastic packed ones in Ming Tien or any hawker stalls?
Yeah, those are bleached completely to make it real nice and presentable. Unlike the solid,heavier ones you have at home, as those actually looks more natural (by looking at its 'veins' as well, or whatever you call that :P).
Actually plastic chopsticks are bad as well, I tried cooking maggie with it, at one point it got so soft and actually bends almost 50 degrees. So immediately I straightened it back again before rinsing it with tap water (Imagine a blacksmith forging a sword)
2.) Not all chopsticks are made from bamboo trees. As expected, in order to meet its demand for its mass production (now I'm speaking like a true economist, woohoo), companies will need to rely back on wood.
So this is the environmental part of it, the more disposable chopsticks they made, the more trees being cut down. Simple sense rite? Same goes for Rhino Horns and Elephant Tusks.
3.) Some disposable ones are really quite disgusting. Its very easy to tell how low the quality of some chopsticks, having some with fine strips falling off from it. While tryin so hard to peel off the excess, at one point, you will realise its just gonna go on and on forever.
Here's a 2 of the many blogs i found regarding bout the bleaching process. I'm not sure where the images orginally taken, but probably the rest of the bloggers just copied it (in exact orders and description as well!). Oh well, as long you all understands it :)

One of the biggest users and contributers (no prize for guessing) will be China, followed by our other 2 famed east asia countries.
"In China alone, an estimated 45 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks are used and thrown away annually. This adds up to 1.7 million cubic metres of timber or 25 million fully grown trees every year. To encourage that people use and throw away less, in April 2006 a 5% tax was added to the price of chopsticks in China. This measure is part of the first tax package in 12 years." Wikipedia
"A 2006 Hong Kong Department of Health survey has found that the proportion of people using serving chopsticks, spoons or other serving utensils has increased from 46% to 65% since the SARS outbreak in 2003." Hong Kong Department of Health survey
They are aware of the situation, since they used far more than any other countries in the world. But of course I'm not pointing fingers to them, since they have a mass population. But it could pose a threat if it continues on.

Beijing Hotels rejected the usage of disposable chopsticks
http://www.chinacsr.com/2007/10/12/1748-300-beijing-hotels-reject-disposable-chopsticks/
Just to named a few websites, as there are tons of websites regarding the outcome.
And another 2 videos I found
So one of the most common solutions will be bringing our own pair of chopsticks, hence, there came this idea of bringing the reusable chopsticks to Malaysia.
Ok, maybe its out in the market before this. But doesn't matter
They are selling this during The Star Enviromental Fest in Bukit Kiara on June 8.
It cost rm18 or rm20. Not too sure bout the pricing as I was quoted for RM18, so you people can get it from me if wanted to.
Alot might be saying its expensive and stuffs, but we are not forcing you to buy! Its just a solution for not using disposable chopsticks. As long you say no to disposable chopsticks, we're happy to hear it and thank you for making an effort to help the environment :)
Thanks for reading my post, so as a reward (no,i'm not giving away free reusable chop since i don't technically make them), here's a video that we, from Star Youth made and acted in. Yeah, its very very silly. But heck, it was fun doin it :)

Advocating Healthy Lifestyle
I thought I would like to advocate the 'style of my healthy life'
Till i figured I didnt have one YUAN with me :P
...or maybe I do need one Male Yuan
I noticed this machine in Checkers Hypermarket in Tmn Maluri. No prize for guessing where this machine made from!
If you stand there long enough, you would have hear some jingles in chinese. Although it sounded more like a broken hairdryer
