Picasa 3 Google

I love Picasa 3 Google.

But it is not as fun as Picnik.

I use Picasa 3 for editing pictures, to crop pictures, make puzzles and lots more.

Here is an example:

‘Cute Princess The Man’ in the window. There is no window frame in the real picture of Cute Princess The Man.

PR, Please Don’t Lie During Ramadhan!

Muslims should never tell lies, especially during the holy month of Ramadhan.

So, its time for PAS to give true answers to the below questions:

  1. Does PAS follow the Orange Book or the Islamic Law?

  2. Is Malaysia an Islamic country?

    Islam is the religion of the Federation of the Malay States of Malaysia but PAS says that Malaysia is a secular country.

  3. Is PAS teaching their supporters the true Islam or is PAS actually using Islam to win their supporters votes?

    PAS claims that Malaysia is a secular country, told people that supporting UMNO is haram, UMNO is not fighting for Islam and Muslims, let the non-Muslims use the word Allah, said that it is ‘wajib’ to join Bersih 3.0 and a lot of other lies which are actually against the Islamic teaching.

  4. Is Malaysia a secular country?

  5. Did PR plan Bersih 3.0 riot?

  6. Does PAS fight against LGBT?

  7. Does PAS fight against Syiah?

  8. Is there no corruption in PAS and PR?

  9. Do the PAS leaders ever lie to their supporters?

  10. Do PAS leaders trust and really like DAP and PKR?

  11. Is PAS lying about FGVH shares?

    PAS claimed that FGVH will not be profitable and took part in Himpunan Oren but Kedah PAS’s government bought and made lots of profit from FGVH shares.

And some questions to the PKR Muslim leaders:

  1. Did PKR protect the Rights of the Muslims by serving halal and non-halal food together during the dinner with Anwar?

  2. Did PR plan the Bersih 3.0 riotand who started the Bersih 3.0 riot?

  3. Did Anwar signal Azmin to break the barricades during Bersih 3.0?

  4. Do PKR leaders never lie and always tell the truth?

  5. Does PKR support LGBT, Liberalism and Pluralism and the Rights to become murtad?

  6. Will PKR be buying MPs to win the PRU 13?

  7. Is it true that there are lots of corruptions in PR government?

I hope that PAS will not lie during Ramadhan since their leaders claim that PAS is an Islamic party …

Aunty Sham’s Bubur Lambuk Kampung Baru Returns!!!

On Sunday, I went to Kampung Baru to check if Aunty Sham sells her tasty Bubur Lambuk.

And she did!

Please do not miss it. Aunty Sham’s bubur lambuk stall is here!

Aunty Sham’s Bubur Lambuk Kampung Baru is cooked using the original recipe like the famous Bubur Lambuk from the Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru.

Here is where her stall is located. Named Bubur Lambuk Warisan Kak Sham, her stall is the second on the left (with a red canopy) from the Jalan Raja Abdullah-Jalan Raja Alang traffic lights; in front of the Al-Islam Specialist Hospital and opposite the Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru.

Please click the above image to get a clearer picture of the location of Aunty Sham’s stall.

Aunty Sham’s Bubur Lambuk Kampung Baru is very, very, very delicious and the best in Kampung Baru.

I’m looking at the tasty, steaming bubur lambuk in a huge pot.

Cooking Bubur Lambuk in those huge pots is a very, very, very hard work.

We need to always stir the Bubur Lambuk so that it won’t get burnt at the bottom part of the pot.

One needs to be very patient to cook the Bubur Lambuk because it gets really hot especially during the hot day and one can feel very thirsty.

The delicious aromas of the spices can make you very hungry too 🙂

And it takes a very long time for a huge pot of delicious Bubur Lambuk to be cooked.

Normally Aunty Sham’s first huge pot of Bubur Lambuk is ready by 12 noon.

Cooked and packed bubur lambuk.

There are lots and lots of Bubur Lambuk stalls in Kampung Baru during Ramadhan.

And it will be sad to drive all the way to Kampung Baru for a delicious Bubur Lambuk but taking home those that are not tasty at all for iftar.

Ramadhan won’t feel the same without Aunty Sham’s bubur lambuk.

And a very big thank you to Aunty Sham, for cooking my favourite Ramadhan food for Iftar :mrgreen:

To get to Aunty Sham’s stall, please look for the banner, ‘Bubur Lambuk Warisan Kak Sham’, her stall is the second on the left (with a red canopy) from the Jalan Raja Abdullah-Jalan Raja Alang traffic lights; in front of the Al-Islam Specialist Hospital and opposite the Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru.

Please look for the right banner because there are sellers who said that their Bubur Lambuk are the same as Bubur Lambuk Kak Sham.

At least 20 people were killed in landslides, electric shocks, struck by lightning and other flood related causes due to very heavy storm rains that hit China.

On Saturday, July 21, 2012, the Chinese capital of Beijing received the heaviest rain in 60 years!

At least 10 people were killed by the disaster in Beijing.

Major roads were flooded and about 80,000 people were stranded at the Beijing’s Capital International Airport.

12 killed and 59 wounded at ‘Batman’ Premiere In Colorado

Early on Friday July 20, 2012, there was another mass shooting in the United States.

This time 12 people were killed and 59 people were injured including children in a mass shooting at the ‘Batman – The Dark Knight Rises’ premiere at a mall in Aurora, Colorado.

The suspect’s name is James Eagan Holmes who is 24 years old.

He was armed with an assault rifle, a shotgun and a pistol.

Dressed in black with a gas mask, ballistic helmet, vest, throat guard and crotch guard, he told the police that he was Batman’s enemy, the Joker.

REUTERS reported that police said Holmes also booby-trapped his Aurora apartment with what appeared to be sophisticated explosives, creating a potential hazard for law-enforcement and bomb squad officers who swarmed to the scene and authorities evacuated five nearby buildings and created a perimeter of several blocks as they planned to detonate the suspected explosives with a robot.

I am very sad and sorry for the victims, their families and friends.

People especially children should not watch or read violent stories because they might be influenced to commit violent actions.

Even when the story shows the hero fighting against violent enemies like Batman and other superhero, some people are influenced by the nemesis who uses violence to hurt others.

And the problem will be worse in countries where owning guns are legal because people can use the guns to hurt others and also for mass shootings.

It is a disaster when people hurt others just because they feel like doing it.
