Ouh a blessed Ramadhan so far.......

The fruits of our labourIt's the 8th of Ramadhan today and so far our fasting month has been really great. The fact that we are all guys and that we live in UK, doesn't hinder our ability to produce some very savoury Malaysian dish and delicacies. We missed Malaysian food so much (particularly those sold at Pasar Ramadhan) that we worked hard to find the ingredients needed for our daily "buka puasa" meals. Some of the stuff that we've cooked so far:

1. Main dish- Ayam masak black pepper, Ikan bakar chilli asam, Nasi beriani johor, Mee Bandung Muar, Mee hoon and keuy teow goreng, Top-side Steak, Nasi Paprik, Telur bungkus patani and the list goes on....
2. Side dish and desserts - Jemput2 pisang, Po Piah, Manggo Lassi, Puddings and jellies, pengat pisang, bubur jagung, bubur pulut hitam, etc etc.........

But,...........

Food for the soul

Although it is true that during Ramadhan we are all blessed with rezeki, there are still some muslims in other parts of the world that are less fortunate than us. Almost every year, when Ramadhan comes, some groups of muslims suffer from war, natural disaster and starvation. So it is a test for us to take appropriate actions as muslims to help the less fortunate by offering sadakah and doa. Let us not be carried away by the wealth and well being that God has given us, but to use it for the benefit and well being of the whole muslim community and human race.

Approaching "The Day After Tomorrow" : T-minus 30 years....

Recently, global warming and its corresponding causes and effects have become a major discussion issue worldwide. It influence the earth's natural cycle, which affect human directly; Universities everywhere are racing each other in producing the latest forecast and papers, fights and debates amongts politicians have become more intense, and europeans have never enjoyed summer as much for the past 3 years.

Hurricane at its best "The Day After Tomorrow" is really going to be a reality afterall, with global warming left to be blamed for all the terrible natural disaster occuring for the past 3 years. We have almost reach the pinnacle of earth's sustainability towards global warming, where the melting of the north pole's glasiers has become an irreversible process. With the rise of sea level and temperature, hurricanes have become more frequent and fierce. But too bad the names given to them i.e. Katrina, Rita and Stan, do not convince us enough of their danger.

It is said that after 100 years, the entire north and south pole caps will melt away. But i bet we don't need to wait until then to witness the total climate change or whatever. If u ask me, i'll give our earth another 30-40 years before it unleash its wrath and madness towards mankind who are entirely responsible for global warming at the first place.

What's worse is that, some smart ass scientist forecasted that the Asian monsoon will be the first tipping point for climate change due to global warming. Funny that he mentioned that after the back to back hurricanes visited the America continent for the past few months. But i guess it'll be nice to have snow in Malaysia, assuming that is how the climate is going to change.

But believe it or not, man have never seize away from the desire to play god: cloning, deciding who lives and dies, The Sims games and now they intend to develope a Man Made Hurricane, well actually it has already been developed and available to the market. I particularly love the design and innovation. hehe.

Tired but still running.

I know, it's been ages since my last post and it seems like every entry so far has been posted at a very irregular and long time interval, not to mention the lack of substance in its contents.

But hey i am working on it. I actually have zillions of things and thoughts that i wanna share with the world here, but then again i never quite have the time to sit down properly and indulge myself in a long blogging rally.

The truth is, i am almost never at home; i work outstation on weekdays till the start of next term, which is only 2 weeks from now!!! Well, what exactly is my job? well its temp job, on different sites all around the UK. To be politically correct, i am a 'mantainance technician'. Yeah, i do mantainance job at student accomodations. Dull yeah i know, but heck, it pays very2 well.

Sometimes at work i do imagine myself sitting at my desk, in my room infront of my pc, with my pj on, a mug of fresh coffee beside me, digging myself to the keyboard and pour my heart out here. I am craving for it. I miss my life as a student. I wanna be home for long.

That day will come i know, and next week will be my last job-week. And i'll have a week break before my first lecture. I can't wait. i can't wait. I'll just hope i'll have sumthing more interesting to write by that time. have to go now.

Abang Bib's Bobbq !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hot stuff!! It was Sunday and the weather was great; the sun was shining with shady clouds and intervals of gentle breeze of Sheffield's valley wind.

We took advantage of the great weather and held our second barbeque this summer, this time it was sponsored by abang bib!! haha, yup, it was great. Our backyard was once again packed with ppl.

I have to admit, this time it was more grand and happening. Loads of ppl showed up,. some i dont recognise at all, can't believe they are all from sheffield. Sumtimes i just wonder, am i that anti-social? Ouh whatever. What's worse, i dont even have the decency to go mingle around with them and get to know them and all. Most of them are new here in Sheffield. But what the heck,. i was too busy cooking and stuff. The bee-hoon goreng were particularly delicious thanks to me.

Overall it was a great day,. very tiring but all worthwhile i guess. Can't wait till next summer!!! it sux here coz coz have to wait till summer. Kat mesia lagi senang bebiler boleh buat bbq, lagi2 tepi pantai,. syok giler!
