Yo Sushi

We went for lunch today at Yo Sushi in Saint Davis 2, this is our first time eat sushi there. The restaurant look cool and the sushi price is a bit expensive because it is based on colour coding. The shop look similar to Sushi King in Malaysia which  the sushi is running on the conveyor belt as shown in this video.

The good news is we got a voucher from Yo Sushi website which give us 1/3 off from the total bill. The food can  be said as good as Tenkaichi Sushi restaurant at City road but here the sushi choices is more. However, the food portion is too small and their miso soup is a bit salty but they allow you to re-fill the soup with out extra charge.

Overall, we recommend this restaurant but make sure you get a voucher because it can break your bank account  :) . Here, few pictures I have taken using my D-lux 4 which I have intention to put on the conveyor but my wife forbid me to do so...hihihi!

Eid Mubarak Everyone!

It is still not to late for me to wish everyone Eid Mubarak. This year is my 2nd Eid celebrated with my lovely wife but my countless Eid in the UK. Hopefully, I finish my study before next year Eid so I can celebrate with my family and relatives back home. 

This year Eid is a bit different from our last Eid because we managed to prepare small party for our guest. Credit to my wife cook all the traditional dish all night, alone. I suddenly pass out after break our fast for no particular reason as an excused for being lazy ass :). Sadly there is no "Raya" cookies  and I don't think it is a big deal as long as we have ketupat and rendang. 

After, a month of hard work, fasting and do other good deeds, I believe it is pay off. I lost almost 3 Kg of my weight but sadly it not last that long and now I gain back the weight... :( Anyway the fast is to teach Muslim to thanks God for providing  the mercy month of Ramadhan with a little of scarifies and rewarded us with the Syawal or Eid.  

As usual we, Malaysian in Cardiff doing our best in celebrating Eid by pray together. This will remind us to home and opportunity to ask forgiveness among ourself.  Here few pictures I have taken during the Eid celebration. Hopefully next Eid I will be with our love one :) in Malaysia.

UPEC 2010

I've been busy lately since end of August. A lot of stuff I tried to juggle around at one time. From 31st of August to 3rd of Sept 2010, I have attended a Conference organised by Cardiff University for High Voltage Engineering. The sad part is this conference is in Ramadhan so I missed  a lot of free food however, that is not a big deal. This is my first Conference after 3 years of my PhD and hopefully I get more opportunity for next coming year.

There is nothing much during these 4 days conference, only seminar,  Museum visit , free food and paper presentation. As a part of delegate and volunteer, my tasks are present my paper, tour guide, conference assistant and etc. This sound really sad...hahaha I wish the conference somewhere else so I can get a chance to visit other places for free. :)

They are around 300 delegates from academic and industry sector. So I take advantage from this conference to expend my network and sharing knowledge. I meet few people from other University and I reckon it was good experience especially PhD student from Netherlander which have a lot of sense of humour.

Overall, I enjoyed the conference, make a few friends and most importantly I got 4 days leisure time with out stuck at my office desk.. :) Here, few pictures through out the conference.

My favourite Raya Song

Hi all,

Just want to share my favourite Raya Song by Sudirman. It is hard to live aboard and far away from the love one. The reality is really really hard especially when Ramadhan and Eid approaching it always remind me to Malaysia. The food is amazing especially at Ramadhan Bazar and when Eid, the atmosphere and celebration is different compared to UK. I looking forward to this year Eid and hoping this is going to be last Eid I celebrate in UK. Hopefully, next year I will be in Malaysia with my family and friend. Enjoy the song guys!
