Blog revamped!

Hey, as you can see, I've revamped my blog (again)!

I have always love purple, it is my colour, after all. Then I found this template when I was surfing around and fall in love with it!

Do leave a comment if there is something wrong with this layout.

I love the slides as well. I chose the pictures that I like very much.

Syikin's wedding : everyone looked sooo happy in this pic

Memory in UTM: I really missed those days. that is why I chose this pic

at Shout awards: Well, I like this too. Because I really enjoyed myself that night.

Well. I don't want to say anything more .:)

Sambungan Pening Isu Halal/Haram: E- coding

This post is in BM. Its general knowledge, basically, but if I'm wrong do not hesitate to correct me. I know that my knowledge is limited, but I want to share the extend of it to everybody.

Tadi saya baru terbaca satu post dari kawan blogger saya mengenai snek ROTA yang dikatakan mengandungi lemak babi.

Mula-mula, saya ingin katakan disini adalah tidak mungkin banyak code diletakkan khas untuk lemak babi!

Jadi, saya ingin menerangkan serba sedikit mengenai international food additive codes, yang sememangnya universal dan diterima pakai oleh jakim sendiri.

Menurut jakim:
"Untuk makluman, sistem E-Coded digunakan sebagai satu sistem antarabangsa untuk food addittive (bahan tambahan untuk makanan - sama ada ianya adalah bahan perasa, bahan pewarna atau bahan awet). Sebahagian besar food additive ini ada yang bersifat bahan natural seperti garam dan gula, ada yang dihasilkan daripada bahan kimia seperti bahan awetan (sodium benzoate - E211), ada yang dihasilkan daripada bahagian tumbuhan dan haiwan (E471 - Mono - and diglycerides of fatty acids, glycerel monostearate, glyceryl distearate - bahan emulsifier, penstabil makanan - boleh dihasilkan sama ada daripada lemak haiwan atau pun lemak tumbuhan)."

Jadi, untuk memudahkan semua, secara umumnya E-coding ni terbahagi seperti berikut:


Colour. (E100 - 181)
Preservative, colour fixative, acidity regulator. (E200 - 297)
Antioxidant, anti-caking, acidity regulator, humectant. (E300 - 385)
Emulsifier, thickener, stabiliser, gelling agents. (E400 - 492)
Anti-caking, foaming, firming, gelling, bulking agents . (E500 - 586)
Flavour enhancer . (E620 - 641)
Sweetener, humectant, thickener, stabiliser . (E900a - 968)
Enzyme, thickener, stabiliser, humectant. (E1001 - 1521)

Yang selalu dipersoalkan adalah Emulsifier, yang kebanyakkannya diperbuat dari fatty acid. Skali lagi saya ingin tekankan disini bahawa fatty acid boleh diperbuat dari tumbuh-tumbuhan (seperti kacang soya) dan binatang (lembu, etc). Pada pendapat saya, lagi murah jikalau menggunakan tumbuh-tumbuhan. Dan selalunya jika kita membaca label makanan tersebut dengan betul (janganlah tengok code E je terus melatah), akan tertera disitu emulsifier made from "ABC".

Yang penting sekarang, apakah sumber-sumber asal bahan-bahan ini. Kita harus merujuk kepada pihak jakim terlebih dahulu sebab setahu saya (correct me if i'm wrong) kebanyakannya terletak dalam kategori syubhah - boleh jadi ia halal, boleh jadi ia haram - bergantung kepada sumbernya.

Cuma 4 sahaja yang memang confirm haram, kerana sumbernya tidak boleh ditukar (tidak ada substitute). In fact, lecturer food chemistry saya (Pn Hanim) ada sebut mengenai gelatine ini.

E-120 (Cochineal) - pewarna merah, diperbuat dari serangga betina.
E-441 (Gelatine) - diproses dari tulang lembu/babi. (selalu dlm ice cream)
E-542 (Edible Bone Phosphate) - Ekstrak dari tulang haiwan.
E-904 (Shellac) - resin dari haiwan serangga.

Jadi, saya berharap segala info yang saya letakkan disini dapat memberi panduan kepada semua. Moga-moga kita semua tidak mudah terpengaruh dengan email-email yang kadang kala tidak diketahui sumbernya. Adalah lebih baik kita merujuk kepada pihak berkuasa (contohnya, jakim) untuk mengetahui kesahihan cerita tersebut.

New Moon: Movie vs the book

Well, I watched the movie two times, once wif my bffs, Uda and Ida (on the opening day itself), the other was with my adik cum cucu, Pka. So i feel that i'm entitled to comment on the movie, but actually i'm not going to, the critics have already done that. Since i'm an official twilighter (you too, Uda), so I won't be condemning it either.

Okay, maybe the movie not as I hope it will be. There are a few differences between the book and the movie, some of which I felt deeply dissapointed, while some able to make me feel excited (?). Especially Taylor Lautner. Hahahaha.

1) In the book it portrayed that Bella and Edward has a lot of chemistry between them. Well, to tell the truth, I can't feel it in the movie. hehe. The kisses are not that hot, tapi wayang Malaysia pegi potong lak. haih.

2) Bella was supposed to be deeply, heart wrenchingly heartbroken when Edward left. Although there are parts where I really feel them (I went through the same thing myself, so I understand the pain) especially when she'll do dangerous things simply to imagine him there, but there are parts I don't feel it at all. I totally don't like her clinging too much on Jacob, they were supposed to be only friends in this book. I mean, they are not supposed to kiss! And bella should not realise that she love him too!

3) I loved the actions though. :) but i kinda hate the scene where edward fought with felix. ew.

4) and i was surprise how hot Taylor Lautner has become with short hair! hahaha... I never like him before. But he was super hot! great biceps (this came from someone who likes chubby guys). even the scene where Rob Patzz took off his shirt cannot compare with the hotness of the shirtless Taylor. hahahaha.

5) Bella, marry me. (I was like, awwwww)

6) the wolves are huge! (and sooo cute! hehe)

7) what's with the awful lip colour on Rob Patzz?! and why is Rosalie looks ugly? In the books she was the most beautiful vampire of the clan!

8) remember the part where bella was soo down and the time passed by? the part where the camera went round and round and round? watching that part made me dizzy, it doesn't make me feel the emotions at all. i felt irritated, and kept wondering why the hell they make it that way? 

9) the jane portrayed in the book was supposed to be a little girl. Dakota Flanning was too old for the role. and her shoes looked out of place (ugly!). and she was supposed to act all girly sweet but evil, which was different in the movie.

 Okay. I'm not a critique! I'm a fan of the books. :)

Club Blog Bicara Sempoi Review

I can't believe that I actually forgot to do this!!

Well, maybe I am kinda busy, I've been neglecting my blog for about a month, right?

So actually I saw a message on my Shout! Box, inviting me to join this club. *not in that exact words, but well...*

So to join the club (blog bicara sempoi), i had to post a review about the club itself.

Well, since I don't have much readers other that my friends and family, I guess why not? Lagipun tak ramai orang nak baca blog ini sebab ditulis dalam bahasa inggeris *ayat skema*

And those readers who are not friends and family open my blog for 2 things:

1) the links i had posted

2) to be a busybody, to know how happy i am in my life now and then to hurt themselves in the process (stupidity comes in many ways, my friend.. haha)

so back to business. I had to post a review, and now i did, and hope its enough. hehe

and afterward i had to fill a form or something. I also had to state the reason i blog. well, frankly, i blog because I like to. Its an easy way to keep my friends up to date with my life. its a way to share info. its a way to rants and blabs. hahaha. and also a good way to make people angry and hurt. (funny and cliche)

so okay. thats all for the review. hehe.

A new future...

Hello everyone. Its been a very very long time since I've updated my blog. Many many things had happened since the last post. I wonder how to write it all down. I think I'll just write the important ones, I guess.

First of all, I had entered a bowling tournament. Funny, huh since I sux at bowling, a lot. I hate it, as I am a certified pencuci longkang (as everyone said it). But since I got no choice, I had to. I was a part of the committee, so I HAD TO JOIN. And that day? It was the worse game I've ever played in my life. Hahahaha. It was really, really embarassing. But I had fun, just the same.

Then also, as a part of the committee, I became the emcee of my school's dinner. Since the theme was Deeparaya (though it was no longer raya, or deepavali), I wore a punjabi suit I borrowed from a classmate. I looked weird as I wore tudung underneath the suit, but then again what can I do? It was a very very tiring night for me. Earlier that morning I was sick (terrible gastric), thanks to a friend I got my medicine, but I needed rest, which something I did not have the time to do. But I pushed myself (alot) that day. I had fun preparing the collum (i think that's the name, I do not know the proper spelling).

 the collum. designed by aiza. nice, right?

I was frustrated with my emcee script, as I had to change them too many times that days. Then the P.A system was late, thus I had no time to rehearse and discussed with them. There were a few glitches that makes me mad angry, the glitches should not had happened in the first place. The flow was terrible that night, but most of it due to miss-communications and extra communications (different people says different things, I shall say). I really appreciate all of my fellow committee members who really were committed to make the event a success. Though the flow was terrible and all of the minor (?) problems I can safely said that the dinner was a success.

I just wished that we were appreciated more, that's all.

After the events, life went back to normal. I am currently waiting for something that if it went through completely, I am going to UK next year for my PhD. Please pray for my success, okay?

Hmm. Other than that, I had to say it here. I am back together with my Mr. F. Well, it was caused by a few unfortunate events, actually. But the point is, we are together now, more happy and more strong than ever. He's been very sweet lately *blush2*, and we are now talking about the future. Hopefully, this time it is forever.

I don't want to post more pictures here, you have to view it at my facebook. :D

Okay, I think this is all that I wanna say. So, please wait another month for the next update. *kidding*

Bye!
