A few bites into my dinner, an "alarm" rang.
She couldn't get up from the lazy chair.
Heaving and panting gently, her adrenaline didn't work to its effect.
So she clutched on to the stick, and clutched on to the arm-rest.
I wrapped my hand under her arms, heaved and a ho-ed.
There, she sat.
Not even an inch had budged.
"Com' on Grams. I'm just right behind 'tcha."
She stood up, and she sat down.
She stood up, and she sat down.
She stood up, and she sat down.
"You sure you don't want a few more bites first before giving it another go?"
And you only see the fat-less meat on her lower jaw oscillating gently.
From the left to the right to the left.
"Ah hah! Move forward! That's where you want to go!"
Rooted to the same ground, her right foot advanced.
It was always the right foot taking the lead.
And you'd find out why, soon, in the next line.
It didn't trickle down.
It just apparated!
Down there, yes, her left foot.
So, it came down towards the left side.
Frenzy ablazed.
"Newspapers!!!"
"Toilet rolls!!!"
"Mops!!!"
******
There's no need to lead you through the whole ordeal.
Here comes the main point.
******
So, we were done with.
Cleaning up.
Showering her clean.
Fresh garments.
A huge cup of warm Milo.
There, I resumed to my chair by the dining table.
Half bowl of rice left, but plenty of other dishes still in sight.
I took a bite of meat. All alone.
Gawd did I know, I was so damn hungry!!

I Had To. Part II
I've switched off most lights at home as requested by my family, leaving only the living room lit and fanned.
Earth Hour does means "an increase in opportunities for crimes and sins".
Note, I didn't even say "an increase in rate of crimes".
I have checked up on my street, nobody responded to Earth Hour.
Is my house the only one?
If that is the case, I have every right to switch on all the lights at home, because I'm scared.
Thiefs aren't entirely stupid.
Earth Hour represents a chance for people to unite under a common cause but it also represents a chance for "misbehaviour".
I'm not entirely biased.
Earth Hour does get to the KIDS in a good way.
They don't fully comprehend the movement, but at least they showed their concern and are not as oblivious as the adults think they are.
They are the eager beavers to have all lights flicked off.
And that annoys me.
My youngest brother is calling me almost every single minute to check up on me.
"SIS. I said switch off the lights!!!"
Another thing is, my grandmother keeps switching on all the lights that I've switched off earlier.
Well, she can't help it of course.
She's already blind in one eye.
No, I'm not being mean.

I Had To. Part I
There are plenty of criticisms over Earth Hour.
Many people expressed disagreements to its concept in essence.
I am, delightfully, one of those people.
I will start with telling you why I have placed it upon myself that I am not obliged to follow through with this grandeur of a stunt.
Lights and other electrical appliances at my home are only switched on between 7pm-11pm. That makes, 4 hours in a day. I sleep at night without the cooling service the air-conditioner provides me with. So, that leaves 3 fans rotating their blades to circulate air in three separate rooms. The security alarm is of course, switched on all the time, how much power would that even consume? TV is a rare treat. And the laptop has already been charged earlier on; no desktop PC is in use.
How much significant difference would it make if the 4-hour lights on period is reduced to 3 hours?
True, its main objective is "to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change".
Why continue to create awareness when in the end you cannot get down to taking action immediately?
Is that all you can do? Raising "awareness" but fail to instil a permanent behaviour in ourselves?
Why does this phrase "to raise awareness" exists in this context when people can simply be asked to "do it" knowing the reasons very well.
Who doesn't ask the question "why?!?!?!" when they are asked to do something.
Well, I have already made a habit of "saving electricity" for years.
And in my honest opinion, electricity plays a lesser part in contributing to climate change when compared to waste fumes from factories and cars, agricultural activities and etcetera.
Yes, don't give me the factories aka power plants generate power then electricity shit.
Electricity is made use of (not invented) by us to support our better lives for a good long time. We all know we can't live without it now, so we can't complain. The alternative is what we should turn to at this point if you continue to accuse me of my childish argument.
Tackle the bigger problems!
Slay the chief and crumble its foundation, leave no stink of carcasses and settle it clean once and for all!
Switching off lights and electrical appliances during Earth Hour is just a pathetic excuse for ourselves in an effort to comfort our "integrity being" that we are doing something to help save the Earth.
There are so many enthusiasts out there who have already started "saving the Earth" without being identified and credited officially. So, why is there a need for everybody to sign up or register for Earth Hour? To feel the adrenaline rush in you when you boast that you have officially signed up for a major global event? That you are made a worldly and considerate person in that sense?
#
A spokesperson for the World Wildlife Fund responded saying “The purpose of the event was not to save money or power. It’s a symbolic event.”
#
Symbolic event bullshit.
There is something called "Earth Day" (idea conceived in 1969), which is celebrated in many countries on the 22nd of April every single year.
There is something called "UN World Environment Day" (established in 1972), which is hosted every year by a different city and commemorated with an international exposition through the week of June 5.
There is something called "International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer" (designation was made on December 19 1994) on 16th of September.
There is also something called "Car Free Day" started out from as far back as 1956, which I think, is more practical and useful than Earth Hour.
There are many more that can be listed down, just google List of Environmental Dates.
So, still think 28th of March should be made any special??
Why not, just take Earth Hour as a major event during Earth Day or World Environment Day?
Back to the first part of the sentence stated by the WWF spokesperson - The purpose of the event was not to save money or power.
THEN WHAT????
It's a symbolic event, make sure you people publicize it well.
The whole damn world needs to know about it.
I don't care what methods you are gonna use, just make sure you get the message across.
Posters, flyers, cardboards, drive-out-get-the-word-out, shout out ...
(All kinds of pollution you can imagine have already begun to evolve from all that...)
From then on, it has already become commercialized.
"Hey friend! Wanna go out somewhere to celebrate Earth Hour??"
So we empty our pockets.
(You know, driving out burn fuels even if you don't eat out.)
I say it's (Earth Hour) probably made bigger this year due to economic recession.
They are trying to make us spend our money, you know, it actually helps to recover from the economy crisis.
If everybody is gonna keep their money at home, that circulation of money will stop somewhere and it doesn't really help to solve the recession.
While we can do more thinking on how to save Earth practically in that one hour, we are actually wasting that one hour just to think about how we're saving Earth by flicking the lights off.
And I thought time management is very important.
Who am I fooling?
#
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

Picked right out from Earth Hour's official website.
Why should the notion of politics be involved in an environmental issue?
That is so, wrong.
What's with the need of telling people to "vote" for either "parties" when we know damn well it's EARTH that we are gonna choose.
Man, who's that person who came up with this lousy idea.
It's something new, something different indeed.
But, I will go straight to the point.
I don't like it.
My argument is simple.
However, there are a few articles that I have come across and think it's worth a read.
They are after all, written much better than what I produced myself up there.

In New Zealand, over 95% of our electric power is from hydro power stations. The rest is from wind farms and a small amount from fossil fuel generation, (if it is still working).
So the city of Christchurch in the South Island is responding to Earth Hour by shutting off as much electrical dependence as possible and lighting candles, thereby producing more of the gases we don't want !!!!!!!!
Am I missing something here?

"however the one thing that these ignorant people are missing is the fact that we are trying to promote change here. The more you educate people about climate change, the more effort they will put in to actually changing."
So, educate people, instead of doing purposeless shows like the "earth hour". The earth hour will just make a lot of people feel less guilty for a bit, and then go on as usual.
"Making people stop and think."
People won't stop and think. People will just think "omg cool", and then continue their life as before.
"I never have room for negative criticism in my life, and to be honest, I think it is just needless"
Your assertion is self-contradicting. You are just negatively criticizing negative criticism.

I don't have a problem with people freely expressing their ideas and turning off (or on for that matter) their own lights. I do have a problem when municipalities that are established to, among other things, provide common services (like street lights) feel that they have the option to turn off those services for a political cause without consulting the people that gave them that authority. I’d love to see a report about the tangible result of turning off streetlights for an hour in major cities. However, I doubt that that’ll make the evening news since it doesn’t support the current politically correct thought.
Everywhere I turn the "green" agenda is being stuffed down my throat as established fact. There is some science behind parts of it, but it’s hardly a closed case. Most of what I see is just feel good hype promoted by people who have little or no clue about scientific principles but are never-the-less compelled to ‘raise awareness’ in the rest of us until we go along with their feelings. A lot of the ‘green’ movement looks to me to like a bunch of people who either want to sell me something or regulate my life in order to enlighten me about how to live ‘correctly’.
This email/forum usually includes info about space, astronomy, etc. Just because the politics of the save the earth movement include the word ‘earth’, ‘globe’ or ‘planet’ in their mantra do not make this a relevant topic for inclusion in this forum.

Green and private conservation are fine.
We have no problem with an individual or group that wants to sit naked in the dark without
heat, clothing or light.
Additionally, we'd have no problem with the group holding a pro-green technology rally.
That's their choice.
But when this group stages a "global election" - enviros are asking the world's citizenry
to vote Earth by switching off our lights with the express purpose of influencing
government policies to take action against global warming - we have every right as
individuals to express our vote for the opposite.
If our Human Achievement Hour is at all a dig against Earth Hour, it is so only by the
fact that we are pointing out what Earth Hour truly is about:
It isn't pro-Earth, it is anti-man and anti-innovation.
So, on March 28, I plan to continue "voting" for humanity by enjoying the fruits of man's
mind.
Check this out too: Earth Hour - The world gets ready to switch off: The Online Citizen - A community of Singaporeans.
I think this is the longest post I've ever made.
Also, you can see how I've researched to a certain degree before writing up my own opinions regarding Earth Hour.
&&&
Last but not least, I resent that I'm such a black sheep of my family.
Ironically, my family members want me, ME to switch off all the lights at home from 8.30pm-9.30pm while they go out for dinner and leaving me to starve alone at home again.
At least my dad was lenient, "at least for 10 minutes, okay?"
P.S. Gee, I actually wasted my time on this.

Read Ringo x Ikki's arc for the third time.
And this particular page is the most irresistable.
So, I photoshopped it into my new blog background.
I have two other versions, both just a slight alteration to the kanji on the top left corner or none at all.
I can't seem to upload the image to ImageShack somehow.
This made me depressed.

Wee.
In a matter of seconds.
I solved the problem.

Nah, it's just some minor problem with the file name.

Just. Weird.
I will upload our photos at some other time.
Most probably tomorrow.
I know I'm using loads of pink.

Hui Yi and The Albino Frogs.
I liked your blue jacket. The colour was so rich.
After you revealed what was inside the big Promod bag, I changed my mind.
I loved the froggies more though, fufufu.
First thing that came across my mind when I saw them was,
" HOW EDIBLE!!!! "
I've secretly nicknamed the three frogs.
Kero Kero, Puri Puri and Nike Nike.
Haha. Don't ask me why.
But, Kero Kero is my favourite standard for frogs.
I wanted to hold them in my hands but I think they were afraid of me.
The vibes that I was sending out I believed, was extremely hostile...
BUT, you guys were too cute!!!!
It was not enough to just stare at you shit and not touch you and stroke your back gently and perhaps a kiss.
I want to hug you guys too.
And woa, you guys weren't slimy at all.
I love.
I want albino frogs too.
Their colour appeals to me.

Skinny-Dipping.
For whatever reasons.
I heard Student Council Elections will last for 5 hours this Friday, from Kenny.
So I jaw-dropped in front of him.
I do intend to go.
Listening to the candidates' speeches and making fun of anything possible.
You know, I just want to play the part of an awful senior.
I'm quite sure I'll enjoy that.
BUT. FIVE HOURS???
I saw how Yi Chin suggested a private home prom on Edward's new Facebook group -

Really sorry for the inconvenience.
The poster's main colour theme was PINK, I thought it really cute.
Hmm yeaa..
There will be a Free Trial Japanese Language Class this Friday from 2pm to 3.30pm at the Meeting Room, Wisma HELP DSA.
Poster came out a little late, but still good enough since the proposal was just approved yesterday itself!

I'm lucky Ms.Aw was fooled by us.

Had a pleasant lunch with Evangeline and Li Lih today.
We talked about guys in our class.
And I'm more than amazed at the differences between the males in her class and the males in our class.
We were a complete opposite case of each other.
Though I admire the guys in her class more.
How cooperative and efficient they are.
They had outings almost every single week.
Best of all, they always had more than 10 members in participation.
&&&
Honestly, I'm rather disappointed in a few of them.
However.
Girls in our class rock.
O yes they do.
Even Nandinin is going.
Awesome!
Just need to know that, I can be a fool and act as so as long as I wish.
But when it comes down to serious matter, I more than welcome a massacre of spirit and sentience.
I will get down to using my real ability and have you badly affected by it.
&&&
I rest my case.

Decide. One solid answer to Two define options.
That's all I want.
Laugh out loud.
Hope it doesn't come down to the case that majority of the mates can't go.
If it is so, it'll be really hard to carry on with this organization anymore.
That's being pessimistic, I know.
No matter what, I will still get myself to a beach and watch the sun rises and the sun sets.
I need that bit of romance once in a while.
How often does a moss-ed moon shine its brilliance on me mind?
I need that getaway.
Certainly, capping an official end to our A-Levels lifestyle.
I'm already missing it.
God knows why.
I do look forward to getting into university and really focus on what I have always wanted to do for a long time.
When that time comes, it will be totally, my rule.

Unforgettable...
So unforgettable...
I was disgusted.
The scene was really, disturbing.
Watching such scenes on screen is okay and intriguing for me.
But, when I know the people involved personally, I find it really really really disturbing.
Guy Love.
.oh my god.
He humped him.
WTF.
I had to cover my face and swallowed my vomit.

Their Comeback.
I swear.
They are coming back again.
The blisters are back.
This time, they are really pushing it.
Shit.
I'm actually worried, scared and afraid.
Can't I have this problem solved once and for all??
And why now, in particular.
It's the worst!
***
Sathish is gone.
Gosh.
Now his missing is a big presence.
Hope you're alright man.
***
Wei Jin threw candies to the floor.
They were all so cute!
I've got a bunch of them in my bag still.
Hahaha.
Will be needing them during classes.

you. yea you.
I was starved.
I swear I could have fainted anytime anywhere in the house.
And they told me they were going out to Tony Romas' for dinner.
If you guys are not gonna be packing some good stuffs for me...
I will.
Faint.
Best weekend yet.
Why?
All my top mangas came out with their latest chapter.
Naruto, Air Gear, Psyren, 07 Ghost and D.Gray-Man!
Yoohoo to Kagura Hoshino for getting better again!
D.Gray-Man rocks!!
Awaiting more from Kuroshitsuji though.
Why I like them?
The arts are like, top knot.
And I care a lot about the art.
I'm still hungry.

She Summed. I Multiply.
So yea.
I think both of us are quite satisfied with our results.
Physics is as pissing as ever.
Spent shit at Secret Recipe for nothing but a huge plate of green ... stuffs.
The sauce was green, I can't see what I was really eating.
I know it's fish.
And all those lettuces.
Damn cheap.
No tomatoes.
Gawd.
I paid what, RM20.
Should've just settled with my usual dose of lasagne.
And yea, with that, two emo-ing guys beside us.
I would die for their maths results, really.
So, cheer up!
&&&
Mom talked to me again.
This time about my choice of subject again.
Although, I'm less thick-headed and hot-tempered then.
Should I, just let it go?
Either way, I've got nothing to lose.
I know that.

Angsty
All that anguish in the previous post.
Feel the need to kill?
HEll yeaa.
Nah.
I love my mom.
Everybody needs this regular therapeutic destructive wretched thoughts once in a while.
So I say it again.
Priya poisoned my mind.
Oh, how can I ever get that image of her outta my mind.
It's still burning my brain.
It was a good pose, a really really stunning dress, and that perfect hairstyle to go with it.
SPICE!

That Red Hot Lullaby.
I wanted to title this entry first.
But, nothing came to mind.
My multitasking ability, has safely returned to me.
By safely, it meant the utmost efficiency.
It meant, focusing on multiple unrelated stuffs yet able to accomplish each of them by a high score of 9.9 to 10.
My mother, damn good is driving me to this edge of no return from my devilish cult.
That other manifesting religion in me.
I damn good, hate gender issues.
I damn good, hate males.
I damn good, hate being a female.
I damn good, was told that it's alright even if I don't get married.
I damn good, want to be freed of all this stupidity.
What if I don't want to obey and be as rebellious as I wanted to?
So I'm doing sin and I'll have to seek redemption?
Why should I care to think anymore, anymore?
Why does she have to keep reducing me till like I'm a nothing.
Why can't she have more faith and believe.
Why must she keep hurting my pride and emotions all the time.
What is it that she want of me?
To be safe and to be normal?
I don't want to be safe and I hate being normal.
I have my own way of doing things.
So if she's gonna be commanding my whole mechanism, how come she isn't born into my body.
I'm growing more and more violent everytime she says something.
It just adds to that dangerous flame within me, scorching and covering me all over with soot.
And alas, how is it that I can remain calm?
By receiving more pain in my part.
To numb anything else.
I don't see the reason to feel for anything else.
I want to return to those days where, all I had to do was to stare at everybody coldly.
I wish, I could be hurt or injured somehow at another time.
Probably something that could make me bleed.
Then, I will take pity in myself and have a reason to comfort myself.
I'm just that useless piece of junk after all.

C L A P
I clapped their way to their funerals.
Sudden, loud and each had its unique frequency.
None the same.
None was the matter so long they were dead.
So with the black pigments shedding off from their exoskeleton.
OR.
A dust culture of bacteria and viruses.
That was the colour of their death beds.
Amidst their most favourite place to rest-in-peace, of course.
That sweet and smooth and fragrant shieet of an epidermis.
They landed anywhere.
They sucked on it.
Just like how they would enjoy sucking cocaine into their nose with a tube.
Then, they had their stomachs enlarged.
Beating wings, slowing rhythm.
Pretty unstable, a sight it was.
There goes.
My hand stained.
Black.
Their legs.
Tattooed like a zebra's.
Swimming in my black blood.
A flick and the tap was on.
A rumble and the water gushed out.
A position, deemed to get rid off.
There it went, down the sink.
Down the pipe.
Down the drain.
To hell.
You damned mosquitoes.

" finally, ...
...
Went to see a new doctor.
Heck, the result is still the same.
The only thing different, are the pills and cream given.
Thing is, I don't think KMnO4 helps at all.
I need the wounds to heal, not [the cells, good or bad] to be killed off.
If the cells are gonna be gone with, how are the wounds suppose to heal?
D.Gray-Man is back.
And it's good.
Something to balance off the all-time-massacres that had been going on.
Divine Possesion.
Holy shitzus of an Innocence that kid has.
Think Link can be healed?
I'm done with Anne Frank: A Diary of A Young Girl.
I'm just like her.
She has a mind just like some girls out there.
I think her way.
But, she was way better at expressing herself.
Especially in writing.
Those sentiments that, girls in that phase share.
With the end of it, starts the beginning of them.
One of them, A Thousand Splendid Sun.
Wanted to read many, but I'm taking such a long time on just one single title.
I could read fast, but I didn't.
I think my problem is, "focusing".
No matter how boring it was, I could've just, you know, speed it through.
Does it matter?
But, how am I going to appreciate the literature then?
"
^***^
There goes my list of "finally, ...".
Just watched Gia, starring Angelina Jolie.
And I felt weird.
Starting with the dreaded loneliness creeping up to me.
I know.
It's true that I am lonely.
Maybe I was influenced by what Anne Frank wrote or Gia's tragic life.
But, it's true.
I feel lonely.
Everybody feels lonely and that's when they start looking for the best candidate in whom they can confide in.
The emotions released, the freedom, the happiness.
It all comes together when you finally found the right thing, I think.
How I long for that.
Such yearning and desires.
Who can understand me and accept me, for what I am?
Is that what being too ambitious entails?
That, you start being confident and sometimes over-confident to the point of arrogance in searching for that little ounce of courage, to stret your stuffs.
While you're gaining and gaining all you wanted, Wanted,
you're losing and losing all you would need, Need.
What is it that I want?
I regret.
This emptiness.
I regret.
The lost friendship.
I regret.
The irreversible wound.
I regret.
The distance between us.
I regret.
That our two roads were once parallel, but eventually deflected from each other, repulsing.
I regret.
Thinking that I would never find those feelings in me ever again.
I regret.
Never able to let go, unless it be replaced with a fresh breath.
I regret.
Nothing I can do, brings back the past.
I regret.
Not having that soul I think I need.
This nothingness has take its toll on me.
I feel no drive.
Circumstances so discouraging.
I thought I told myself I would brave through anything at all.
That road less taken.
Bull!
I'm still attached to dear ones.
And I'm not supposed to be selfish.
How am I gonna live for myself?
In my own name?

Choic e
I didn't publish an entry yesterday because I thought there was nothing in particular that I want to write about.
But, how absent-minded I was.
There was, a big issue yesterday after all.
I'm not going into details.
But I shall remember the entire incident and wish him well.
&&&
I'm beginning to confirm that my skin allergy is getting serious.
The dots are starting to spread and now it's covering my back.
My whole body aches.
&&&
Australia or UK.
I've been thinking about it these few days.
And UK has more points than Australia so far.
I'm leaning towards UK.
So.
It's closer to Germany as well.
So.
I can go visit Evangeline who by then, can speak German like a German nanny.
I don't know why I said nanny, but I just like that description.
&&&
Today's JCS meeting was quite enjoyable thanks to the very lively new members.
Awesome~!
Wasabi Competition as suggested by Paik Hwa.
COMING SOON.

Rant ^
It's really unbearable.
But I can't do anything about it.
Only to wait patiently for it all to heal.
It's seriously gonna take half an hour out of each day of my life so far to treat them with KMnO4 and white cream.
Tedious.
And I saw new ones popping out.
Is it just normal allergy?
And I'm sure as hell, those weren't mosquito bites.
I. am. so. doomed.

I think my skin allergy is more serious than I think.
And I'm starting to doubt mosquitoes as one of the main factors.
Crap.
Lots of gags today, again.
My cheeks hurt.
Jin Sheng was really really really mean to me.
What's with me being "garang" and that's why I'm still single.
.....
Way to go la, you.
KEEL YOU. - Sathish's way.
By the way, I'm sorry Sathish, I don't plan to reply your text message.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Talking to Eddie and Jin Sheng was extremely tiring.
Period.
We talked about which bungalow to buy on this piece of land.
What the hell right.
Adrian complained we were too noisy, and all about this freaking bungalow.
Not bad though, they knew quite a lot about buying houses.
And oh.
Am very welcome to brand Wei Ming as a Sissy.
You didn't get to shake my hand because of Mr.Seow.
But it's okay man, we'll shake hands tomorrow.
Sorry that I'm pissed off this morning also.
Oh well. Haha. LOL.
But no worries, good old Paik Hwa knows better. =]
She was just merajuk-ing only.

Haha.
Finally told the class about my plans to organize a class trip after our final A-Levels exam.
I think I was probably too loud.
Ahaha.
But I felt good 'coz it's like I can scream out loud my feelings and actually de-stressed.
I just hope for a more proper discussion tomorrow.
It was kinda rash and rush today since everyone was rushing off for lunch.
Hope it'll be good tomorrow.
By the way, Wei Ming told me he can't go because he can't swim.
So, he'll be organizing another class trip to Cameron Highland in oppose to mine.
Please take note.
HAHAHA.
just kiddin'

One of the main arguments for this "Earth Hour" lights-out seems to be that it will unify all humans on the planet.
But let me put forth this criticism: What if instead of striving for one hour of unified action, we each took *individual responsibility* for our own actions every single hour of every single day?
Sure it *feels* great to stand up with a crowd, march tall and strong together… but feeling good isn't what we need here. We need real change, and that isn't going to happen overnight, or in one hour. It happens every day of the rest of your life.
I had lights on during this hour - I make my living in part as a photographer, and I was involved in a photoshoot all evening. Does this make me a bad person because I didn't jump on a bandwagon to be "unified" with the rest of the world?
But let me tell you a few more things: I carpooled to this photoshoot. We use digital cameras which don't waste plastic and silver as with conventional photography. I don't own a car and use public transit as much as possible. I buy very little packaging and compost my food waste. Most of the food I buy is produced locally, and I also garden to supplement this. By gardening organically and with cover crops, I am also returning carbon to the soil and providing habitat for wild bees and other pollinators. And the lights? I just counted - I have 18 lights in my house, and most of them are off most of the time.
So sure, I don't feel "unity" with the rest of the human species, but I don't want to! I don't see how a herd mentality is going to help us improve our environment. While the rest of the herd is busy patting themselves on the back for their one hour of triumph, I will be out working in my garden.
Oh, and if you light a candle for tomorrow, make sure it's beeswax, or you might be putting lead and benzene into the air. And while you're at it, make sure it's organic beeswax, or you might be contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder.
