Something smells fishy?

Assalaamualaikum..

It's getting fishy up in here!

Yep, today's post is about fish. Thanks to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (such an English name, hee. Love it!). You might recognise him from The River Cottage series on The Asian Food Channel on Astro. Last year, he was busy with his Free-Range Chicken movement, and this year he's fist-ting up for a fish fight.

Here's the thing. European Union states that fishermen are allowed to fish on a quota. Meaning, a fisherman aiming to catch, let's say Cod, is allowed to fish until he reaches a certain amount, let's say 100,00 Cod, then he must return back to land. This quota was implemented to protect the endangered fish population and to prevent over-fishing. The fishes that are over the quota must be returned back to sea before they reach land.

However, the most efficient equipment to catch large amounts of fish are nets. I mean, we can't expect fisherman to supply the people's demand for fish, one by one on a rod now can we? And so, by using nets, fishermen have no control over what type of fish will get caught in them, especially in a mixed fishery where many different fish live together.

Fishing for one species often means catching another, and if people don’t want them or fishermen are not allowed to land them, the only option is to throw them overboard. The vast majority of these discarded fish will die.

Because discards are not monitored, it is difficult to know exactly how many fish are being thrown away. The EU estimates that in the North Sea, discards are between 40% and 60% of the total catch.

Others are prime cod, haddock, plaice and other popular food species that are “over-quota”. Fishermen are not allowed to land any over-quota fish; if they accidentally catch them – which they can’t help but do - there is no choice but to throw them overboard before they reach the docks.



So, you wanna help?

A little goes a long way..

Assalaamualaikum..

First up, thank you to Atikah Yusof for her enthusiasm and interest =) Alhamdulillah..

She asked for some simple tips on how to support worthy causes, charities, etc. So here it goes!

 Tip top tips to get started!

TIP 1

Do what is easy for you - To hear and see others put an effort to give back to the community/environment, inspires us to do the same. And when the upsurge of motivation rides us, we want to get on board, NOW.

A second later though, we think again, 'Wait a sec, I don't have a car to go to the recycling center nor the opportunity to go to charity events. I'm on a tight budget and time just always seem to be against me.'

Here's a quote for ya.

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll get, what you've always got" - Anthony Robbins

The trick is to do what you've always done, but do it differently.

Example:

a) What you do with your time online. Most of us catch up on facebook, go through new photos on tumbler, read our friend's blogs, skype, gaming, some do their research on assignments or follow up on world news and etc. We use the internet for leisure, academics and business. But we rarely use it or think of it as a way to give back to the community, help charity work or support environmental efforts.

Spend a few minutes to search for some sites that are trustworthy, such as The World Wildlife Fund, The Red Cross, GreanPeace, etc. If you come across new organisations that you've never heard of, browse a lil' through their site to get a vibe of their goals and agenda. Then, do what you can! May it be giving your name to be included in a petition or supporting a campaign or spreading the word or doing simple online activities.

b) Separate your trash and chuck the recyclables at your nearest recycle bin.

c) Keep a foldaway recyclable lil' bag in your handbag or bag. I use mine as a keychain so it goes everywhere with me! Aren't they cute?

I bought mine at Jusco, though you can buy these at souvenir shops, art shops, Giant and even at some top quality pasar malam.So the next time you purchase something, kindly decline the plastic bag, just whip this out and tadaaaa...! Intsant bag out of nowhere 0.0

d) Turn your lights off when you leave a room

e) Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth

f) Use a biodegradable plastic bag for your rubbish bin. Its only a teeny bit more pricy.

g) For those who have a printer at home, buy two types of paper. A cheaper, thinner 70gsm, 60gsm or even 50gsm paper and a heavier, better quality 80gsm paper. Use the 70gsm paper for test printing or light printing work and use the 80gsm paper for important documents and for double sided printing.

h) support 'Green' products and companies.

i) when photocopying simple notes or work just for your reference, ask to photocopy in 'image com'. 2 original papers will be copied on a one side of a paper, half for each original page. And if you ask for back and front photocopy, 4 original papers will be photocopied on a single piece of paper, 2 on each side of the paper. Yeah, that sounds a lil' confusing, sorry. It might take a second thought to figure it out, haha. Give it a go though. The writing will obviously be smaller but still readable. It'll save ink and paper! Kill two birds with one stone =)

And there are lots more things you can do. InsyaAllah, I'll post when I can. The point is, whichever one you choose to do, do what feels easy for you. Don't overwhelm yourself. You don't have to straight away join a charity society or go to an orphanage or drive to recycle centres or do hours of voluntary work. Start with baby steps and we move on from there. Fit in these new little changes in your daily routine.

Simple changes, a little effort here and there, will snowball into a real positive difference for this world.

Hope this was helpful! More to come, God willing.



Assalaamualaikum..

Adopt me!

Assalaamualaikum...

Alhamdulillah, with the help of Allah always, I've a kitten up for adoption. She was left on my doorstep about a week ago and she had puke all over her. It was obvious she wasn't well. Took her to the vet and the vet said she's about one month old and unfortunately she had worms, parasite, lice and something wrong with her bladder. During check up, terus bagi ubat for her worms and parasite. Medication for lice and indigestion was for me to give her at home. The first night she pooped blood (all over me! blueky! tapi takpe) and I was really worried for this little kittens' survival.

But with the Grace of Allah the All-Mighty, after a week of medication, she is really healthy =) I managed to poopie train her and her indigestion problem is no longer (though her poopie still busuk semacam XD, but thats just normal i guess). She also has an appetite of an elephant! She eats like there's no tomorrow and she'll gorge down the kitty food. Since she's still small, memang dia tak pandai control kot. So I have to ration her food for her, kalau tak nanti kembung (which happened on the 2nd day and she farted so many times, tambah lah lagi aroma2 di rumah saya ni, hahaha.) I've also treated her lice problem and things are looking really good for her.

gaya dia nak tidur, hehe.

 

 cute blue eyes! 

(sorry the pic is blurry. she won't keep still!)

Now that she is getting better, her personality is showing and she has somewhat of an anxiety separation problem, but understandable though since she doesn't have a mother and she's been through a lot in her short life of a month. But when she's full and happy, she'll play around like any normal kitty would nibbling on peoples feet, chasing whoever passes her, play with bells, etc.

I would keep her but chobeng is not so friendly, haha. Chobeng was really jealous cause I was busy with the new kitten and she actually merajuk for two whole days where she didn't eat anything at all and didn't do anything too!

She just slept and even when she was awake she would just stare. And she wouldn't let me touch her! I would stroke her and she'll walk away. I would hold her in my arms and she'll wriggle free. Banyak perangai budak kecik ni, hehe. Alhamdulillah, Chobeng is eating again and is beginning to be normal again.

 

budak nakal!

teramat sangat2 comel >_<

Haha, tapi I understand jugak la perasaan Chobeng, she was also a stray kitten that I picked up from the streets. Though she was two months old when I took her in. She was much weaker condition than the new kitten but she didn't have much complication with her health, all praise be to Allah. She is a part of the family now and dah jalan jauh sampai ke kedah utntuk raya hari tu, hehe. sekarang dia dah manja sangat.

From this... (first night)

 to this!

Haha, chobeng chobeng..

Anyway, anybody interested or knows somebody who might be interested to adopt cute-blue-eyes kitty, do leave a comment or straight away contact me on my cell.

Help Pakistan...

Assalaamualaikum...

Pakistan is facing a growing humanitarian crisis as worsening floods are affecting even more people than the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and 2010 Haiti earthquake combined.

17 million people are affected by the floods, while some 1,500 people have been reported dead and 2,000 injured. More than 160,000 sq km of land - a fifth of the country - have been affected by the disaster, an area larger than the size of Peninsular Malaysia (131,587 sq km).

UNICEF estimates that over 8 million children have been affected by the floods and many need immediate, life-saving assistance.

UNICEF is working on the ground to ensure that life-saving aid is getting through. This includes safe drinking water, medical supplies and vaccinations for children against measles and polio as well nutrition for children and pregnant women.

Every day, the situation is getting more critical for children. UNICEF is desperately appealing for donations to meet its US$ 141 million (about RM 450 million) Appeal.

Help protect children in Pakistan by donating to the Pakistan Disaster Relief Fund by Media Prima and New Straits Times Press (NSTP) in support of UNICEF:

§ RM 50: provides 200 sachets of oral rehydration salts to protect children from dehydration and diarrhea


§ RM 100: provides 6 families with clean water for 1 day


§ RM 150: provides immunisation for 30 children

Of course, any amount will do, even if it's less than RM 50, a little goes a long way.

TABUNG BANTUAN BENCANA PAKISTAN

(Pakistan Disaster Relief Fund)

a) Bank-in

§ Account No.: 5142 7133 9000

§ Bank: Malayan Banking Berhad


There are lots of people who need help. We see them in the news and here about all the relief efforts that goes out to them. Ada tabung ni, ada charity tu, ada pertolongan ini.

The news tugs at our hearts to do something.


But how many of us really do?

Next time you go to the ATM or CDM, cash in what you can. Write the account number on a piece of paper and keep it in your wallet =)




Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang maksudnya:
“Hendaklah setiap orang Islam itu bersedekah , jika ia tidak dapat berbuat demikian , maka hendaklah ia berusaha sendiri yang dapat memberi faedah kepada dirinya sendiri dan dengan yang demikian ia dapat bersedekah, jika ia tidak sanggup, maka hendaklah ia menolong orang yang susah yang memerlukan bantuan, jika sekiranya ia dapat berbuat demikian, maka hendakah ia menyuruh orang lain mengerjakan kebaikan, jika ia tidak dapat berbuat demikian juga, maka hendaklah menahan dirinya daripada melakukan kejahatan, kerana yang demikian itu adalah dianggap sedekah.”
(Ahmad)

Assalamualaikum...

SocialVibe has reached their goal of providing 8,000 school meals for children in need! Alhamdulillah..

14 of those meals came from my readers, yes, that means you! Thank you for taking a lil' time out to click on my Socialvibe badge and completing the activities =) Thanks to the Socialvibe community as well, for sharing activities and passing the word around to others to help those less fortunate. And of course, thank you to The World Food Programme sponsors!

So now I've changed my Socialvibe cause to support Water Mission. I chose this cause because water is a basic necessity, along with food and shelter.

Here are some stats to convince you to click on my Socialvibe badge! XD

Drinking Water and Sanitation

More than one in six people worldwide - 894 million - don't have access to safe fresh water.

More than two out of six lack adequate sanitation


Globally, diarrhoea is one the leading cause of illness and death and 88 percent of diarrhoea deaths are due to a lack of access to sanitation facilities, together with inadequate availability of water for hygiene and safe drinking water.

Today, 2.5 billion people, including almost one billion children, live without even basic sanitation. Every 20 seconds, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation. That's 1.5 million preventable deaths each year.

On a typical day in Sub-Saharan Africa, more than half of the hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from faecal-related diseases,

3,900 children die every day from water borne disease.

Does the water in your bottle look like that? 

 

You know what to do.

Back in business!

Assalamualaikum...

Back, by popular demand (chewah, macam la banyak sangat order, haha), my beef/chicken lasagne is up for orders again!

Size: 30cm x 24cm x 5cm (family size)
Servings per tray: 4-5 servings
Delivery: Free, limited to JB area and mana-mana yang i tak kan sesat, hehe.
Price: RM40

Nak order 1, 2 ke 10 pon ok, insyaAllah i'll try to meet the demand. Please order 3 days in advance, it'll make it easier for me to fit in my schedule. Tapi kalau emergency order, i still need at least a 1 day notice cause my scrumptiously delicious lasagne with selected cheese and herbs needs a couple of hours in the fridge for it to set before it is slowly baked in the oven to have a golden crisp coloured top and oozy layers of creamy goodness with savoury beef/chicken smothered in tasty tomato sauce >_< hehe.

Contact me on my mobile for any orders or special requests.

You know you want to. hahaha.

Help the hungry...

Assalamualaikum...

Alhamdulillah, here is another site that makes donating and helping the needy very easy and simple.



It's even simpler than Socialvibe because you don't have to sign up as a member, you just play and donate! Both Free rice and Socialvibe support the World Food Programme, so whichever you wish to click on (left or right), you're still contributing to help those in need of food due to natural disasters, conflict, poverty, poor agricultural infrastructure and over-exploitation of the environment.

Hunger and malnutrition are in fact the number one risk to the health worldwide; greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.

There are 1.02 billion undernourished people in the world today. 

A person dies of hunger and malnutrition every 6 seconds.

More than 60 percent of chronically hungry people are women.

907 million people in developing countries alone are hungry.

10.9 million children under five die in developing countries each year. Malnutrition and hunger-related diseases cause 60 percent of the deaths.

The number of undernourished people in the world increased by 75 million in 2007 and 40 million in 2008, largely due to higher food prices.

Every year World Food Programme (WFP) feeds more than 20 million children in school feeding programmes in some 70 countries. In 2008, WFP fed a record 23 million children.


Support World Food Programme, support those in need. It only takes a few minutes.

Assalamualaikum..

SocialVibe...

Nursyahidah Sidek invites you to SocialVibe.com    


Assalamualaikum..

For those who received my last message on Facebook, you should know that I'm trying to make my time on the net more useful and productive. Alhamdulillah, I'm getting there bit by bit. I also want to make positive changes, InsyaAllah. I want to walk the walk because so many people, including myself, just used to talk the talk but little to no actions were taken.

A reminder to myself before others, do not postpone what you can do today till tomorrow. Procrastinating and hypocrisy is a destructive habit. It will get you nowhere, simple as that. Despite knowing this, most of us still do it because it's so easy to do. We make excuses for ourselves and take for granted the gift that is, Today.

Life is short and that's a fact.

Get motivated, be motivated and stay motivated to make that change. Whether its doing your laundry today or giving a loved one a call or signing up as a organ donor or doing that overdue assignment or recycling your trash or cleaning out that forgotten store or helping the needy, make an effort to make it happen.

Alhamdulillah, I've found a site that can help me to help the less fortunate while I'm online. It's not as fun and exciting as online games or social networking sites but it only takes a few minutes a day and I know my actions are making a difference for communities in need.

So please do join me on SocialVibe or just complete a few activities by clicking on the socialvibe badge on my sidebar =) thank you!

Organ donation..

Assalamualaikum...

Alhamdulillah, I am finally an organ donor. Just faxed my form to the National Transplant Center in K.L and InsyaAllah I'll get my card next week. I've had the intention to do so since i was in high school tapi asek tangguh je and buat alasan, "I don't have enough info yet", "How's the procedure?", "I'll do it when there's a campaign or something", "what's the hukum on this topic?", "I don't know", "I'll do it another day", etc.

With the help of a friend and Allah swt guidance, Alhamdulillah, i managed to find all the info i needed to make up my mind, understand all the procedures and follow through with it. I signed up with my sister and another friend of mine. So for those who are interested in becoming an organ donor, here is some links and info to help you.

http://rayma.com.my/giftoflife/FAQ.html - link to frequently asked questions, donor pledge form and contact details of the National Transplant center.


http://www.themodernreligion.com/misc/hh/organ-transplant.html - info about islamic ruling on organ donation. It's pretty long but it's thorough. We should try to know as much as possible before we make our decision. So that when we do decide, our intention (niat) is pure. InsyaAllah, we will get rewards for it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQrM5-Mj7VI  - video by Dr. Zakir Naik on organ donation

After reading up on all the info, i called the center to ask a few questions. Here's a summary of the Q & A's.

1. In part 2 of the form, if i don't want option A but i would like to donate more than one organ in option B, can i tick more than one organ?
yes.

2. In part 3 of the form, is there any preference as to who i should put as my next of kin? My siblings or my parents?
Anyone would do, as long as that person is related to you and is close to you.

3. Is the procedure of signing up as a donor really this simple? Just one form and that's it?
Yes. There's no need for any other identification documents or health statements. This is just a personal pledge that states your permission to go ahead with organ donation when the time comes (death of course).

When you are deceased, your body is legally under the guardian of your next of kin or family members who are present. If they change their minds or disagree and doesn't want to go through with the organ donation, their decision will over rule your pledge and the hospital will respect any decision the family makes.

4. Are there specific hospitals that will do the organ removal procedure?
No. All hospitals have trained staff that will perform the organ removal procedure. Whichever hospital your family takes your body to, along with your pledge and their permission, the organ donation procedure will go ahead.

5. For muslims, will the hospital staff do all of the urusan jenazah such as mandikan mayat and kafan?
This is up to the decision of the family members. If they want the hospital to do it, they have staff to do so, but if the family already have their own arrangements, the hospital will return the body to the family members as soon as the organ removal procedure is done.

They just take the body, remove the respective organs and return the body. The rest of the proceedings will be according to the family members plans and religious beliefs.

6. Which is the most preferred method for me to sign up? Fax, mail, email?
Fax. Print the form, fill it up, make sure you sign it and the details are correct and fax it to 0326156269, which is the National Transplant Center fax number. You will get your card through the post which would take anytime between 1-3 weeks depending on your location.

Or you can go to these hospital, listed in this link http://www.malaysiayellowpages.net/organdonation/nation.htm and just say that you wana sign up as an organ donor. They will sort things out for you and take you through the steps.


Other than this, they did give me extra information about certain types of deaths and in these cases, what organs they are allowed to take. In any case, they will make sure that the organ is in good condition to be removed and used in a transplant operation. I suggest you give the center a ring yourself so that you can clear any doubts you have or if you would like any other information.

Fur balls..

Assalamualaikum..

Alhamdulillah, I've 10 healthy hamsters now. It started off with just two, then tinggal satu, bought another two, then tinggal 2, dapat baby 3 ekor, jadi lima, then swap a couple with one of my friends to avoid inbreeding, dapat lah tujuh, lama-lama berkurangan jadi empat, pastu dapat baby lagi satu, then dapat tiga lagi and another two, all from my eldest couple (memang subur couple tu, hehe).

Sepuluh da macam ramai la pulak, even though i enjoy taking care of them. My mum suggested to sell the babies to pet shops, tapi i tak naaak. Nanti tak tahu siapa yang beli and jaga mereka macam mana and susah la nak tanya khabar nanti >_< So to my friends, siapa-siapa yang nak hamster yang cute and senang utk dijaga, habaq mai la ye. Jangan malu-malu.. haha.

Four of the lil' fur balls are up for grabs. They are Robovsky hamsters, a type of dwarf hamster originally from Russia. Their average life span is only for two years. Cage, food, bathing sand, exercise wheel and other accessories will be given. You can take two, three or four of them but not one, kesian dia sorang-sorang nanti. Everything's free of charge as long as you promise to take care of them well and make sure they have a happy life =)

Homo flowers?

Assalamualaikum..

A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two, and too. Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms. Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs. The term "homophone" may also apply to units longer or shorter than words, such as phrases, letters or groups of letters that are pronounced the same as another phrase, letter or group of letters.

Okay, now that we all know what homophones are, can you think of any?

Go ahead, i'll give you some time..




.....

Nada?

...





Need some help? hm, okay.


Well, lets see, from the top of my head....



This...

and this!

For the last time people, flour is pronounced as flower! not 'fleeeeuuurr', 'flaaaarrr' or 'flaaaaaaaaauu'....

Grrrrrrr..




Assalamualaikum =)

Plastic troubles..

Assalamualaikum..

The plastic bag. We can get them when we purchase something, anything. May it be a cup of corn from the side road stall or a classic Jimmy Choo heel from the trendiest mall. Some are plain, some are colourful, some are big and some are small. Some are cleverly made for high-end branding while some are specially designed just to take out the trash. The plastic bag is an efficient way to carry goods. It is hygienic, light in weight yet considerably strong.

But what happens to the plastic bag after we’ve put on our heels?

Most likely, they’ll go in the bin. Even for those who are thriftier will only reuse the bag a couple of times. After a little wear and tear, the bag loses its value and is disposed of. Most of them make it to the rubbish dump and are buried underground. Some make it out to the seas and dance with the waves. While others fly freely going wherever the wind takes them.

The affect?

This...

Plastic bags pollute the earth. They have been found roaming the harsh lands of the Article circle, up North and they have also been found drifting in the Falkland Islands, down South. In between these two distant lands, plastic bags stir up havoc.

Plastic bags do not decompose, they photo degrade. Over time, they break down into smaller, more toxic petro-polymers. It takes 1000 years for one plastic bag to completely photo degrade. Even when they do, they contaminate the soil.

Plastic bags kill wildlife. Nearly 200 different sea life including whales, dolphins, seals and turtles die due to plastic bags. They die after ingesting plastic bags which they mistake for food. Birds get entangled in the plastic bag and die a slow and painful death.

Plastic bags litter our streets and are scattered throughout our forests. They clog drains and natural water pathways and cause floods.

Plastic bags are made from crude oil. This black goo is precious and limited. Crude oil is a naturally occurring, flammable liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds, that are found in geologic formations beneath the earth's surface. It takes thousands of years for all these molecules and compounds to gel and make such a magical liquid that the world currently depends on. Such a prized resource. Approximately 60 - 100 million barrels of oil are required to make the world’s plastic bags each year. The manufacture of plastic bags add tonnes of carbon emissions into the air annually. Between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are used worldwide each year.

1 trillion? Hang on a sec. How much is that again?

1 trillion is one million million million. That’s the number 1, followed by 18 zero’s!

Think twice when you use a plastic bag. Look at the bigger picture of things.

Reduce your use of the plastic bag.

Assalamualaikum..
