Maal Hijrah Celebration

So on saturday... the Malaysian Student Society had a small celebration for Maal Hijrah.. there was suppose to be a talk by a Ustaz .. however he couldnt make it.. so instead we watched a video about Palestine which was made back in 1992 and still the terror we see today continues..

my weekend..

friday i went to woking to see an old friend.. since he studies up north in durham..



then i went to london to hang out.. haha. funny thing is.. i didnt whip out my camera most of the time i was there.. for one, there was just a lot of people.. insecure that thieves might be about.. i just kept it in my bag.

the pictures below are from a dinner session at liyana's house. dinner was cooked by 2 of malaysian squash players.. nasi ayam.. mmmmm..

after dinner we headed back to mr red devil's place for some shisha.. and footy highlights.. 

good company, good music, good fun .. excellent weekend. 

shisha makes u dizzy.. yes yes.. 

headed back home on monday.. good fun :) 

home cooking

didnt do much today.. just relaxed and wasted time.. as how people who have nothing better to do do.. :P

went to have a cuppa with 2 old college classmates who are now juniors in uni. haha.



then went back home.. to cook for close friends.. as how i promised .. :)


rustic roasted chicked! :D heeee


but.. somehow it didnt turn out as superb as how i wanted it.. probably cus of the oven at home which is different from the oven on university accomodation.. also.. someone didnt know that when you cook roasted chicken.. people dont use SKINLESS CHICKEN..

end result was a skeleton looking chicken..

presentation fail .. aiseh..

ah bliss

marking my success of passing my project yesterday.

YAY!

i did mostly nothing today except for waking up late, watching loads of videos, cooking after so long and took some pictures. :)

lemme start with them pictures..

as anyone who's been to guildford would know, one of the main landmarks of guildford would be the cathedral. its that massive church with a golden angel at the top. it is also right next to the university, so near infact that the university's annual convocation/ graduation is held there.

yep. students of surrey graduate in a church.

sad innit.

sorry abt the glare. 

steps going up.

steps going down

i call this the out of idea shot. :P 

oooooohhhhhh...

when set to long exposure.. the cathedral suddenly glows .... but overexposed. 

yes yes slightly better.

i didnt notice the doors at first.. but i do like the details on them.. 

angels i think..  

this was taken on the other side of the cathedral. if you look properly, theres a massive cross in front of the cathedral and a rooster which tells the wind direction.. :P

also.. earlier today i watched this very interesting documentary titled: "Science and Islam" which was hosted by Prof Jim Al-Khalili, whom i am proud to say is a professor here at the university of surrey. 

yay for surrey! ;p 

anyways, the documentary explains about how modern science started or progressed in Islam. i think it is a very good documentary which glued my butt down to my seat for a good 2 hours.

the documentary has 3 parts; part 1 and 2 has been air on BBC and can be viewed on BBC's Iplayer. links below ;-

Part 1:Science and Islam - The Language of Science

Part 2 :Science and Islam - The Empire of Reason 

it is much recommended. do please watch it .. 

part 3 will be aired next week. if i'm not mistaken you can find it on torrents as well.

anyways.. thats all for now.. tata :) 

for gaza! pt 2

heres a video from yesterday taken using my d90 :)

for gaza!

it was a cold cold morning.. when i went to london to participate in the gaza march.. arrived at london at about 12.30pm.. suprised to see the number of people participating in the march..

it was estimated that more than 100 thousand people participated the march from marble arch to the israel embassy.

after a long day.. went to dinner with mudha and afif at pizza express.
