Halal?

A friend was telling me that he felt organic chicken is better than halal chicken. Halal chicken, although the concept suppose not to let the animal suffer but sometimes he felt it wasnt sincere. After talking to him, i googled abt  halal and organic chicken. To my surprise, there are lots of debate abt halal chicken. There are some of even say, if it not organic, it wasnt halal. The current halal law only dictate how the chicken die but the correct halal chicken dictate how chicken should live their life and die. They must not suffer. The current comercial chicken live in a small cramp area and the light is only off for like 1-2 hours to let the chicken grow faster. This is crime againts the chicken. Uhhh complex ar. Actually the are lots more. Like stunning or not stunning etc which i still didnt has any opinion. After reading i have a feeling, i agreed with what being said abt non organic is unlikely halal. But the thought of buying expensive chicken and the thought of not eat chicken outside and the thought of no kfc is killing me. I can't do it. It make me wonder how much i care abt halal. Do i eat what halal now because it easy? What if, it wasnt easy. Will i still go for halal option?

Nasi padang International

One of my favourite place in Penang. I dont really like ikan jacket, blame to high school experience but here the ikan jacket is so sedap!!!!  My favourite dishes will be this ikan jacket, sambal hijau tempe & bilis, siput masak lemak, ulam selasih and all the sambal. To pair with this, order sirap limau ais. Even during hot day, this shop still not so hot. The only drawback is sometimes hard to get parking and table. 
This shop located at transfer road. Very near to roti canai transfer road. Closed on Monday. Open from 11am to 3pm. But ikan jacket may only avalaible from 12pm onwards

Bye bye 2015. Welcome 2016

2015 just end yesterday.In a good, brighter side, I had two big vacation in 2015, both in Europe.. broke my bank account but both trip is worth it. Loss some weight compare to 2014. (Yea!!). I joined creative drama class. All of my class mate were way younger and most of them is study in private or international school. I had so much fun laughing with them. Although i still kayu same level where i start but i learn something else. I see how my teacher break the boundary between each student. I think it's a good place to send kids to socialise there. I started to join the weekly teach at the road side. Still learning... It's hard to break the boundary.. sigh
In not so good side, health does not seems to be very good this year. Found something in my liver.. it wasn't dangerous but need to monitor every year. Had a back pain to the point that i can not pray normal but lucky it eventually ok. But now and then i feel not comfortable in my leg. i think it due to my back pain.. so now need to start exercise to strengthen my body :(
Start pre mid life crisis, questioning lots of thing in my life.. as one of the results, I didn't join any running event this year as i don't see why i do it .. hahaha. Not much that i has achieve in 2015... :(. Hopefully thing will be better in 2016. I started my 2016 with a good step ... shopping new running shoe. Yeah but i do run today to test it :). So here my azam 2016
