Assalamualaikum!!

Came back home from Usrah and wanted to go out and spend my Sunday with my momma in town but no. She wants to go JB (Johor) with me. Me, in that Sunny weather? Oh noo.. na’ah, you didn’t. I went home without my sunblock and it is a big brave move for me. I have a super sensitive skin. Lucky thing our skin is not some ETFE plastic material. If not, I’ll probably be wiped out from this earth like the bad vampire when shot by Blade…in…err… Blade. I mean, 10 mins max under sun without sunblock and I’ll no longer be Aqilah the human. I’ll be Aqilah your pet Lobster. Oh yeah, you can pat me but yeah, now my face is red. Consequences oh consequences.

And now, it’s Cloudy O’ Rainy Singapore. Who say’s girls are fickle as a pickle?

I’ve few points to share but I’m shagged as Shaggy so that can wait. In the mean time, lemme share with you reasons why (practicing Muslim and some non-practicing Muslim) don’t eat pork because by right, it is Prohibited, in the first place.

But, before that, lemme share some points.

We are what we eat right? Now I don’t mean that if you pizza, you’re Italian. (Jangan perasan Italian hokay.)

Once, a test was conducted on pigs and I don’t remember what, but I think chicken. They put the same gender together and only pigs turns homo. (Very long story cut very short.) It’s not in our nature to have same gender relationship so it’s unhealthy (yes, yes, I know, Ellen and Portia won’t agree.)

So, here we go

1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.

2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.

3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.

4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.

5) Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.

6) Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.

7) When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal’s flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.

8) Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts,and eggs will be killed.

9) Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.

10) Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine’s one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.

11) The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcase (Leviticus 11:8).

12) The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism.

13) The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.

14) According to Jewish law, pork is one of a number of foods forbidden from consumption by Jews. These foods are known as “non-kosher” foods. In order for a meat to be kosher, it must first come from a kosher animal. A kosher animal must be a ruminant and have split hooves – therefore cows, sheep, goats and deer are all kosher, whereas camels and pigs (having each only one sign of kashrut) are not kosher.

15) Quran, Holy book of Muslims also prohibits consumption of pork.

“He has made unlawful for you that which dies of itself and blood and the flesh of swine and that on which the name of any other than Allah has been invoked. But he who is driven by necessity, being neither disobedient nor exceeding the limit, then surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.” Quran 2:173

Singlish Me

Assalamualaikum errrrbbadddeehhh!!!

Singapore is known for Singlish… Sing: Singapore. Lish: English.

“Aiyah, Where got time!”

Some of you may have heard of the Singapore Sling; some may not have. But if you hang out with Singaporeans or Malaysians often enough, you more likely than not would have heard the Singapore Slang, more commonly known as Singlish.

A Singlish sentence often ends with words like “lah”, “leh”, “meh” or “lor”. These utterances are included at the end of a sentence to add emotions or feelings to the sentence. For instance, “Come with us leh” (with a long and draggy “leh”) is persuading. “Come with us lah” (with a short emphatic “lah”) is encouraging. “Come with us lor” is almost like pleading. “You don’t want to come meh?” is simply “Don’t you want to come along?”

Get it?

Ok… Now…

The other day at the airport…

Cousin: You know, the other day, I was wearing the Dian Pelangi telekung (this thingy that Muslim ladies wear to pray) it was colourful and Nadya (my niece) asked…

Nadya: Mama, what’s that? (I guess it’s the first time in her little perfect life that she saw a colourful telekung)

Cousin: This is a telekung that I bought from Aunty Aqilah.

Nadya: Mama!! You cannot say that!!

Cousin: Say what?

Nadya: Singlish! You cannot say lah! Aunty Aqilah. Aunty Aqi.

Cousin: No Nadya. Her name is Aqilah. Her name has the lah at the back.

Nadya: Oohhhhhhhhhh

imagesAll of us were already at this state…

Ain’t running away from being Singaporean horr.

Oh! Before I kena saman…here’s the source of Singlish intro above.
