I totally hate disposable chopsticks especially those with like splint all over the place. But bringing a pair of chopsticks wherever u go cant be quite a burden. Yeah its not big or bulky, but guys don't have extra handbags like girls do.

I'm planning on giving a PSP for my boyfriend too! Actually i am the one who wanted it but i don't think he will allow me to buy it so i guess the only way i can have the PSP is by giving it to him as a birthday gift. (But after reading your post, i'm not sure whether he will let me pinjam it)
When i was in studying in UUM, i always bring along my own chopsticks to eat the Meehun Tom Yam and people thought i was weird.
Keep posting! I really enjoy your martianisms posts. It makes me understand more about my bf. You know how guys enter 'the cave' when they have a problem.

he hardly looks at me, or talk to me and even if I am out in my best outfit (for ie: super short minis and a clevage parading top) - HE DOES NOT NOTICE!!!!

eh lol better check how sustainable those stainless steel chopsticks are.
They could have used up more energy intensive processes and generated more harmful waste (CO2 and water usage/contamination for cooling the steel + extraction proccesses) then those crap wooden chopsticks that were probably made from recycled or waste wood.
yea the environmental engineer in me speaks! HAHA

Now you know why I *refused* to even get PS2 for my hubby!!! He's such a workaholic, we only see each other for a couple of hours a day. Imagine with PS2 or PSP... I think he'll talk less than 10 words to me in a day!!!
Oh, I've read about the reusable chopsticks and would love to get a few pairs too, but haven't come across any yet. Nowadays, I also go w/o plastic bags when buying things, unless it's huge volume of weekly groceries shopping... ppl do get very surprised whenever I said I don't need the plastic bag, or the wooden chopsticks or spoon or whatever..

Haha, I've been to several camps held by DJP. =D So, i guess you must have known Keith and Timothy. =D
And the reusable chopsticks look like those chopsticks I have at home, except for the fact that you can't get them into halves.
The car game is probably Grand Auto Theft. I play that game before, it's so damn violent but sickeningly fun.

umm, aren't those disposable chopsticks made from bamboo? I'm sort of a greenie as well trying to reduce my carbon footprint, rejecting plastic bags and whatnot but bamboo... they grow really, really fast, don't they?

Pinkpau I gave my bf PSP for his birthday last year too! I know what you're going through.... haha.. but thank god for my case, the addiction didn't last very long. Give it 2 weeks to 1 month tops and he'll start to realise what he's missing. :P Anyway, I love your gift ideas. You should make a blog post about gift ideas soon, especially for Christmas and Vday. :)

i wanted to get a psp for my bf's long bus rides then i was thinking, what if it ends up not just for bus rides. die lah. no more time for me. so i didn't.
so i ended up buying things that he needed like shirts to replace the ones he threw out, an old book he really loved but misplaced while moving around, and a keychain engraved with corny and sweet nothings cuz he broke his keychain.
the book sounds like a real good idea. i was thinking of getting a book along that line. either that or this other book about may 13 =)

k0k : i've not read much about disposable chopsticks, but from what i hear it's not made out of bamboo. china and japan use some crazy number of chopsticks a year, something like 100 billion pairs iirc, and it takes lots of resources to manufacture, package and distribute. i guess that's the main argument against chopsticks, because someone also recently told me that trees are not actually felled to make chopsticks, because chopsticks come from the unused branches of trees that are logged for timber. so it's like, might as well not waste these branches. hmm. dont know how much this is true though!

well, wiki says they aren't bamboo - so that's that. I'm still wondering about how they actually make those reusable chopsticks. Smelting and shaping metal is a very expensive process, no doubt using heckuva lotta fossil fuel to do it.
Besides, (i don't know if it's just me but) stainless steel chopsticks feels weird when I use them. I'll stick to my old reusable lacquered wooden ones.
Then there's those impotent plastic forks... and knives.
