FOOD WASTE! Seriously people, if you’re not a big eater, then don’t order something heavy – like Nasi Lemak. Get a curry puff, roti kaya or salad instead.

So after a sumptuous meal at Veganburg, a pal and I decided to head somewhere for coffee. eL pal decides to bring me to check out Loysel’s Toy Cafe. Situated along a quiet lane off Kallang Road, the serene surroundings of this place was just lovely 🙂 Ture also houses several other offices… such as

It’s 11.30am and my colleagues and I figured we’d have an early lunch to avoid the crazy lunch time crowd in NTU’s canteen B. Alas, I guess other people had the same idea so it was pretty crowded anyway. BUT nothing could have made lunch better than this! A paper thosai with pumpkin and beetroot

The start of the week has been a bit of an anti-climax. It was great to hear news that Saudi Arabia is allowing women the right to vote [though they still have to work on the right to drive..]. Yet, while women in the Arabian gulf had a well-deserved win, the African continent had lost

Three things need to be shared worldwide: clean and green living, good soulful music and lots of love. While much of the work on this blog has highlighted the former, Junoon – the U2 of Pakistan – has been one of my main inspirations for the latter two. This article has been written in commemoration

A video was recently circulating amongst some Green Muslims on Facebook – Project ME and A World of Green Muslims – of how the ingenuity of one slum dweller in the Philippines literally brought light to the lives of his neighbours. With the lack of electricity available to slum dwellers living dangerously close to railroad

So my family recently had our Eid open house. As I had done for Eid in previous years – as well as other parties- I set up a little recycling bin for used tin cans. We use up about 4 to 5 cartons (24 in each pack) of canned drinks for each Eid party. Its
