Slow start..

Today, i have been officially unproductive. Hellalujah Monday Blues!!! So i decided to write this piece of note about my schoolmate who is getting married this Sunday. To be honest, i would be taken by surprise when she broke me the news by ringing me up in the middle of the mall for an hour on the phone, BUT since i knew she had been seeing someone because i met her a f few times in UiTM, the happy news was not a shocked to me.

 

Still, i have to say out of all the people in my class, i wouldn’t expect that she would be the first to tie the knot. It is not a bad thing, but she isn’t the type the goes all girly, dresses up for event or flirting with guys of that sort. I would categories her as one the nicest person i have ever met, because in school she was really smart in additional maths (and i’m so left behind at it), so i would constantly bug her in class, and insist that she sits next to me so that whenever the teacher called my name to answer some crappy maths question, i would have her to recue me with an answer! I know, i am that bad!

 

Nevertheless, when i met her in UiTM sometime very long long ago, i could see that she was very cheery and happy as she could wait to show me her bf’s picture. Then i remember we sat together in the middle if Dataran Cendekia, and i could see from the corner of my eyes that she was constantly texting and giggling and at the same time speaking out happily what she’s reading and texting. So i quite knew something happy was happening in her life.

 

Anyways, i’m so excited for her. I can’t wait to be there at her wedding. As i have been observing, wedding entry is what filled my blog entries these day. Gosh, everyone’s getting married. And no, don’t ask me because mine is not coming up anytime soon.

 

Other than the fact that im still waiting for my prince charming to sweep me off my feet (haha!), i don’t have the financial source to organize a wedding with 1000 guest. And people still say, what are you waiting for??? Hello, getting married is not as simple as saying "I do". It's like "No money no talk laa"...xda duit jangan harap nk say i do okay..

On that point of event, this Saturday my family is organizing a rumah berbuka for raya. But invitation hasn’t been made yet. Esok lah hand out! Sempat. Sempat.

Sent Email

I just remembered that i intentionally did not delete those emails i have send and recieved, because since i've deleted everything else, i fugured that maybe i would like to read some of it again, in the future.


Those email were defiently happy emails. I wonder if it would be too personal if i post some of those email on my blog?


Hhhmm...

Sushi King - Halal or Pork Free

Somewhere during the month of Ramadhan, my friend, Lyn and I decided to breakfast at Sushi King. I know how much most of love sushi. So do i. Besides the sushi, the tempura is just fine, and japanese desert and ice-cream is to die for.

However, as i was there on that particular moment, i found out from a waiter who told me that some of the menu in Sushi King are not Halal. They contain alcohol. I remember he told me three of the menus are confirmed contained alcohol, one of them is Unagi. I asked about the rest of the menu, and he said as far as he know (for now), that was it.

Then, we both look around, and yeah, there is no Halal certified on the restaurant. We both thought that Sushi King is Halal all these time! To my relief, than god i never ordered Unagi before or the rest of what contained alcohol.

Then i noticed, that they put up a notice at the cashier stating which of the menus contained alcohol. I find that pretty dumb because why would you put up the notice at the cashier where people are there to pay what they have already eaten. People have already ordered and what not, eaten the food, putting the notice would do no justice. I witness the three boys behind me who must have not known that Unagi is not Halal because they got a chinese waiter who didn't informed them about the Unagi. They ordered a big plate of Unagi. As they were standing at the cashier, i saw them reading the notice and their face in disbelieve. I recommend that the notice is put up at the entrance or on each table or inside the menu. Things like this need a pre-order notice, not post-order, mind you.

Moving on, as i browse through the internet looking for a certified Halal sushi restaurant in Malaysia, i read that that isn't all that is not Halal. The sushi rice itself might not be halal as it could contain what the japanese call Mirin (sweet wine rice) that are used in the Sushi rice, Miso soup, Tenpura sauce, Teriyaki sauce, sweet shoyu, etc - actually, just about everything Japanese. While Mirin contains only 14% alcohol and are usually used in very small quantities, alcohol is still alcohol.

On that point of Mirin, im not sure on the autheticity of the source from which i read, but it makes sense to me though. Since there's is doubt there, i prefer to avoid going there anymore. So goodbye Sushi King. You're been good! Really good! = P

Other Non-Halal Sushi restaurants are Sakae Sushi, Sushi Zanmai, Rakuzen.

I heard Yo! Sushi is halal. I might go check that one out soon and see if it's true.

And so we're running out of place to eat sushi now! Mummy please make sushi again! remember you used to make them when we were in Hong-Kong! We can't live without sushi!

* Non-Halal and pork free to me hukumnya sama. Haram. Enough said.
