my existence will never rock your world.

TIME magazine.always and will be read by aristocrats, wannabes (oh-look-at-me-calmly- reading-TIME-as-intellectual-as-a-white bearded-doctor-can-be)and such.i read TIME and you decide which category do i fell into.in fact i've never restrict myself from reading anything."GOD forbid you'll have to walk a mile in my shoes!"
it's a good mag anyway.

birds and all ecosystems.
an article on global-warming and how bad it has become and how it will affect your lovely outdoor morning breakfast.i'm exaggerating there.seriously, we should all look into it with super attention.ice is melting, temperature is rising, ozone layer is waning.thanks to human contribution on smoking (ooopss), open burning (what a beautiful forest fire you got there Indonesia!), gas-fuelled vehicles, CFC and those industrial sectors which produces our children's microwaveable lunches.species known as non-migratory, nocturnal are showing symptoms that it is unbearable to stay at their motherland no more.sea level is rising at an approximate 6m per year.go get your life jacket!take up that swimming lessons! is that our efforts gonna be on curbing the issue.

HALAL certificate (nothing to do with TIME)
had a discussion with my Chinese friends and i'm certain we were talking on the same page that day.i'm a Muslim.i will never consume that forbidden white meat.but friends, problem is HALAL is much more than just the presence of that white meat in your food.JAKIM imposed a regulation that all non-Muslim F&B operators must acquire and display HALAL certificate at any given time.obligatory.compulsory.and to acquire that certificate you must first be examined, inspected and questioned.i'm a Muslim and i think it's a good thing to have in our policy.after all, this is a Muslim country.
but we should not forget our national agenda.multi-racial unity.therefore, why can't we do the same to ALL?.the regulation should apply to ALL F&B operators.my dear friends, it is already stated in the HOLY QURAN that it is much more than just the white meat (in any tongue-twisting scientific names).

questions raised on-preparation, source and that white-meat thingy (in any form).
it is very difficult to ascertain the fertilizer they're using, source of water and many others.

the way i see it, why don't we just avoid the places we doubt in terms of HALAL?
and even if we do, accidentally consumed, non-HALAL food...should we feel bad? man, read carefully, ACCIDENTALLY consumed.as for me, i prefer not to think about their hidden religious agenda (if there is any).simply, i just don't entertain.just avoid.
