As of today, it is the 4th week since my first automobile accident. So I’m going to tell the full story now, sort of hahaha. Click the spoiler for the full post. Be warned, some pictures are potentially gross. I am not responsible for any fainting or puking or gagging the photos might cause.

Will have an update on wednesday :)

WOO FINALS ARE OVER WOO
And now, Jimi Hendrix

While I take a break from studying for my paper tomorrow, let me share with you a food experiment I tried yesterday.

Now, I love ice cream, in fact I can get very childish when it comes to ice cream. My brain will normally go “mmm ice cream” or in some cases “WOOO ICE CREAM FUCK YES!”. So when my dad bought yogurt yesterday, I thought about making some frozen yogurt, which is basicly a sort of ice cream. But i didnt have an ice cream maker or a salad mixer, so I googled around for ways to make ice cream without such things, and I found this guide (http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2007/07/making_ice_crea_1.html)

Its basicly simple, and it really works.

However I would like to add some pointers
- you can use a fork to stir and mix the ice cream
- also, preferably use a wide shallow container instead of a deeper one because it will take longer.

Anyway enough yapping. Ice Cream!!

It took quite a long time to make ice cream out of 2 cups of yogurt, mostly because I used a deep small container before moving it to this wider container. Around.. I dunno, 5 hours? But even then, either I should have left it for longer or my mixture wasnt right, the creamy ice cream texture only laster for a while before it started melting, but it was still good despite the tingliness it gave my loose teeth.

So hey, go around and experiment and see what you get, do share if you have an awesome recipe :)

Turkey: High Court Reverses Parliament, Bans Head Scarves At Schools

That was the headline that I saw while I was browsing Malaysia Today. Now let me post some quotes from the article

“The Constitutional Court said the amendments that would have allowed head scarves at Turkish universities were contrary to the country’s modern principles of secularism.”

“Erdogan’s AK party is viewed with suspicion by the opposition, which accuses it of “antisecular activities.” They argue that allowing some women to wear head scarves would put pressure on others to wear Muslim garb.”

Now, I’m a Muslim albeit very liberal and open minded and as of right now not very pious. I also do not believe the hijab/headscarf/tudung is necessary. And I really dont care whether people are secular, pious, or moderate or whatever, that’s their bloody business and as long as they dont force their views on me, in which case they are giving me a green light for my extremely vindictive and arrogant righteous views to be ’shared’, I really dont mind them. But this recent decision by the Turkish High Court is not a decision about secularism or not, it is a decision that is about oppression.

Turkey you suck, I am ashamed to be possibly related to you, hell, maybe that branch of my ancestors who were possibly from Turkey/Ottoman Empire would be embarrassed of you too. Your laws and your constitution are as oppressive as can be as in borderline on violating rights of freedom to practice religion which is against any Human Rights laws. Hell your laws can even shut down an entire leading political party to be shut down for antisecular behaviour.

Wearing the headscarf is a personal choice you dimwits. And the only place where women are pressured to wear a headscarf are countries where it is compulsory to wear a headscarf or else you might get punished or places where the majority wear it, and the majority are righteous pricks.

So fuck you Turkey and your fucking oppressive laws.
