my 2nd consecutive year celebrating eid in the adopted UAEland. thousands of miles away from family and old friends, but alhamdulillah new friends and colleagues help to make this year's hari raye quite an eventful affair.
on the menu was the custamory eid prayer, a morning breeze at the Creek, open house, open house, and more open house; the office eid mubarak nite + duit raye :), and then my housemates sadly decided to organise our own open house (right pic)

I have to say I am a little biased towards Quentin Tarantino, I grew up admiring what a phenomenon 'Pulp Fiction' was.I watched it when I was in post hi-skool and it is still written in my top 3 film of all time.
So naturally every subsequent QT flick was met with high expectations. Unfortunately, From Dusk Till Dawn, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol 1&2 and Grindhouse has not really lived up to the billing. Then i heard all the good vibe about his latest project Inglourious Basterds which tell the tale of a group of Jewish-American soldiers chosen specifically to kill Nazis (read my stoked post back in May here).
The film makes no apologies, asks for no forgiveness, it's a no holds barred assault on the senses. Tarantino doesn't care if he offends, if he steps all over stereotypes and clichés, this is film making at it purest.
and btw, for my money Christian Waltz deserves an oscar nomination for his potrayal as the Nazi "Jew Hunter" SS Colonel Hans Landa
double-dosage of punkrock remedy in my backyard? smells delicious...but too bad i cant make it :(
first, San Jose,California-based pop-punkers No Use for a Name will hit Ruums next weekend. One of many bands on FatWreck roster that I grew up listening to...'Dumb Reminders' is literally one of my favourite anthemic song, period
then,come Dec 11, MxPx will perform at No1 cafe, Jln TAR (err..never heard of this venue before). The trio from Bremerton, Washington has been championing skatepunk since 1992. Their latest album 'Secret Weapon' is a return to form after a series of mediocre effort. But 1996's 'Life in General; is still their classic

what : a ramadan food bazaar hosted by malaysian-uae community
where: residence of consule-general in al-barsha, dubai
why : a lame excuse for legal immigrants to do business, mingle and grab some food for iftar (breaking of fast). mainly to satisfy the crave for hard-to-get delights from back home
when : every fridays during the month-long holy Ramadan al-Mubarak
today is 09/09...one of my BFF's burstday
