Yesterday marked a day when I actually ran out of plastic bags to hold my trash.

The solution was relatively simple: Go out and buy more plastic bags!

So what's changed : The cost of living.

What's not changed : Earth still receiving non-biodegradable plastic bags.

All these Green Environmental Awareness Campaign should've started with manufacturers reducing unnecessary packaging, and plastic bag suppliers providing cheap, biodegradable plastic bags and start from there.

This is stupid.

So I figured out the World Mug...

So I just watched the World Mug and now I understand why it is so appealing. A bunch of people in shades of colors trying to kick a black & white basketball into the big rectangular netted hoops at both ends of the grass court. And sometimes by accident the basketball goes into the rectangular hoops after a few hours, causing people to go into a riot and burn things, or commit suicide!

Going Hybrid

I went to check out the Honda Civic hybrid with a few friends who're interested in looking for a new car with fuel efficiency being the main criteria and at RM130+K the Honda Civic seems like a really good buy. And these days, I think I can speak for most of us that we're considering these cars for selfish reasons - reducing fuel and other (e.g. stupid road tax) expenses in a safe, modern package rather than environmental and tree hugging reasons.

Well, it's Russian. Maybe the pilots had too much Vodka.
