I think it’s funny that #Bernama News published an infographic showcasing some facts/background on #Malaysia - as the host of this year’s #ASEAN summit, but it’s written in Malay (so.. catered to only locals) and one of the ‘fun facts’ included being that we’re the largest producer of rubber gloves, but we almost never hear that we’re also the largest producer of rubber condoms 😂

@cendawanita now that's more, 'proud-worthy'. That's almost the same with Japanese, Buncho too lol - the best mechanical pencil lead to exist (according to me).

@irfan it'd be more accurate to say that I'm lead-brand agnostic hahahahahha. Janji 2B, I tibai je.

@cendawanita the difference in quality between Buncho 2B 0.5 (I assume 0.7 as well) with Pilot's 2B equivalent, let alone any of the others, is huuuuuugeeeeee. Buncho's black is like suuuper pristine/crisp, and the writing feel is super smooth and solid, Pilot's ooth is not as black and much more fragile.

@irfan I totally believe you - I basically left mechanical pencils as soon as I didn't get penalized for using pens, so.... Upper secondary school?? So what you're saying about quality sounds familiar, but I just don't remember my brand loyalty lmao. As it is I'm just using Mitsubishi lead currently because of my 4-in-1 Jetstream.... Maybe I should switch to buncho ahahaha
