The event was held at Lord Todd's Diner which is located just a few steps from my living halls. As usual, I went there with my joyah buddy. We didn't really know who entered the competition, but basically we watched it just to have some fun.

Lukis Sesuatu

Sekarang ni, ada wabak baru yang boleh dimain semasa stress tatkala membuat esaimen yang bertimbun, especially next week dah kena submit dissertation. Stress jugak la, sebab word count masih tak tercapai matlamat lagi.

Wabak ini diperkenalkan oleh AW dan rakan2 lain juga tidak lari daripada terpengaruh untuk bermain wabak ini. Apa benda tu ye?? Hmmmm, Drawsomething!

Apps ni boleh didapati di Android market, tapi iPhone pun boleh main jugak. Main pakai tablet memang syok sebab boleh accomodate jari-jemari yang besar macam gajah ni.. So senang la nak lukis2..

Game ni simple je, mula2 kita pilih opponent dulu.. Ini boleh dilakukan dengan mudah jika kita sync game anda dgn fesbuk. Bila dah pilih musuh tu, boleh pilih words (ada 3 words dengan berbeda difficulty dan coins) then kita lukis la apa yang patut untuk menggambarkan word terbabit. Lepas dah siap lukis dengan hasil ala2 Picasso mahupun Monalisa, boleh la dihantar ke musuh tu. Lepas tu tunggu dia jawab, then dia pulak reply dengan lukisan. So kita kena teka la pulak apa yang musuh lukiskan. Diberi 10 randoms alphabet untuk meneka word itu. Boleh guna bom jugak..

Mari kita lihat galeri yang berjaya disnapshot di sepanjang permainan ini.

Sorry for the long post!

1/2 cup rice vinegar (I used lemon juice instead)

1/2 cup sugar

pinch of salt

- simmer all of the ingredients until the sugar is fully dissolved 

- let it cool before adding to the still hot cooked rice (above)

- mix well

- let the rice cool a bit before making the sushi

There are a lot of videos on Youtube on how to roll & shape the sushi.

Fruit and Vegetable Portions

Assalamualaikum kengkawan...

 

Tengah syok2 buat case report Pharmaceutical Care, tetiba terjumpa info ni kat dalam SIGN Guidelines. Selama ni dok counsel patients pasal healthy lifestyles modification especially bab dietary.

Salah satu nasihat yang paling kerap diberi dan mudah dihafal ialah pengambilan buah-buahan & sayur-sayuran sebanyak 5 portions per day. Macam mana nk kira satu portion? Kita lihat di bawah ni ye.. =)

Fruits (either one)

1 medium sized apple, pear or banana

2 kiwis

7 strawberries

1 slice of melon (tembikai pon boleyyy)

Cooked vegetables (either one)

2 broccoli spears

8 cauliflower florets

3 heaped tablespoons of brussels sprouts or carrots

Salad vegetables (either one)

1 medium tomato

7 cherry tomatoes

Beans

3 heaped tablespoons of kidney beans or chickpeas

Selain dietary advice, pengamalan sedentary lifestyle juga penting seperti exercise 30 min 3 hari seminggu, stop smoking, reduce alcohol and also salt intake. Tapi alcohol haram ye bagi umat Islam.. Jangan menggatal nak cuba2..

Ok la, ini je info yang nk dishare hari ni.. Mudah-mudahan dapat diamalkan bersama..
