For me, it was 20 minutes ago on Youtube. And that could possibly be the first time I have watched one. Most of the qurbans that I can recall done for my family during Eid Al Adha were through friends in Indonesia, so that they would give the meat to the less fortunate there. We’d

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.

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

Its that time of year when Muslims practice both spiritual and physical detoxification. A time of inner reflection to improve our sense of humility, patience and kindness towards others around us – especially to those that are less fortunate. The holy month of Ramadan is a time when we demonstrate to ourselves that having less is

Greenwashing, as we know it, is the “deceptive use of green PR or green marketing in order to promote a misleading perception that a company’s policies or products are environmentally friendly”.

What a nice way to start the weekend! Got tagged in this Facebook post by a friend. The newspaper article in question was in Singapore’s Straits Times sometime in early Feb 2011.
