Ok, I know people would say I'm being ungrateful, unappreciative, terrible, wasting and etc...cus somewhere out there, there are poor poor (very poor people) who can't even get a grain of rice.
And me, being... (too full ohkay... not unappreciative.. did I say that?) throw my leftover-can't-finish briyani rice.. Briyani rice! very nice lo. But too much. I feel very bad, and suddenly I remembered this advertlets ads 'bout freerice.. Not sure if you can see at the sidebar on the right there. Freerice is a sister site of the world poverty site, poverty.com. It has two goals which are to provide English vocabulary to everyone for free and help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
For each word you get right, they will donate 20 grains of rice through UN World Food Program to help end hunger. To-date they have achieved 34,230,006,290 (34 billion grains) grains of rice already.
To reduce the feeling of guiltiness in me...I go to freerice to contribute my part.
My briyani rice look something like this...

I've donated 1340 grains of rice. I will play (donate) everyday or maybe spend a few minutes. Spread the word people...
ps : in case you're thinking why you should play the vocab games to contribute rice..you can read their FAQ
I extract one part from their FAQ here...
"Do I really make a difference by playing FreeRice?"
The rice you donate makes a huge difference to the person who receives it. According to the United Nations, about 25,000 people die each day from hunger or hunger-related causes, most of them children. To a mother or father watching a loved child die in their arms from hunger, the rice you donate is more precious than anything in the world.
Please remember that you are not the only one playing FreeRice. Though 10 or 20 grains of rice is a small amount, it is important to remember that while you are playing, so are thousands of other people at the same time. It is each and every one of you together that makes the difference. Your 200, 500 or 1,000 grains may not seem like much by itself, but consider that in its first five months, FreeRice generated enough rice to feed more than one million people.
