No. But what it does is to foster understanding, and takes you a step closer towards an inclusive society. What is an inclusive society?

Reading into Food: What is Halal and What is not

Over the years, many non-Muslim friends of mine have claimed that a food that they bought is 'halal'. I usually give them the benefit of doubt, but realised that their concept of 'halal' is varied. And end up eating non-halal food. In order to be more responsible for what I eat, I attended a class … Continue reading Reading into Food: What is Halal and What is not

To our incomplete drafts

We all have goals that we want to meet. One of my goals was having a platform to recount my experiences to remember it by. Thus, Uminsummer was born.

On the way to the airport

One drama that I really feel for and relate to. No one character was perfect (but perfect casting!) . Small, subtle actions taken by one will leave an impact on the people around them. And yet, no one  can really be blamed. The way one reacts will always have a backstory to it. This highlights … Continue reading On the way to the airport

To the newspapers

The world has been living off the internet these days. The world doesn't love print anymore. The world prefers bite-sized entertainment news. To the newspapers that appear outside my door daily, I'm sorry for neglecting you. Simply saying I do not have the time to read it is an excuse. Newspapers are not irrelevant. They say that humans … Continue reading To the newspapers

Designs #1

This is a mini project that I'm doing, if possible, to help out my mum's food business online. My first attempt at designing something outside of school. I'm definitely a 'noob' at designing things and this is not meant to impress anybody. With the help of blogging101, I discovered a lot of free designing websites … Continue reading Designs #1

Is WordPress a blog or a community?

Today’s assignment: leave comments on at least four blogs that you’ve never commented on before. So, I actually do not like posting comments and my opinions in public view.Who am I to judge someone else's story right? Besides, others cannot possibly learn anything from what I say (my comments are probably useless). But it's time to … Continue reading Is WordPress a blog or a community?
