. . . eating sh*t, literally . . .

assalamualaikum

paying a fifty pounds to eat sh*t... would u dare be a jackass n do such a thing? apparently some people have! in this case, they drink it, in terms of coffee.

so i was up late night n watching CNN (its d only channel i understand perfectly) n saw this report about Cafe Raro. its a coffee bean sold by a group of electrical appliances seller, De'Longhi to the public for fifty pounds, roughly 100 US dollars. i was like, what has d world come to?

i looked it up through wiki n also asked an indonesian friend of mine. i was quite surprised to know that its been around for a long time. they call it Kopi Luwak in indonesia. kopi, literally means coffee n luwak is a local name of an Asian Palm Civet (a weasel of some sort). theres also a similar version of kopi luwak in vietnam n philippines as well.



i wont discuss too much on details (coz it spoils d fun on finding information) so just go here to find out more, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak

in short, a weasel eats a selected coffee bean... 'filters n processes'... n 'expels d quality end product'. n made into a favorite drink d world has ever known, apart from tea n mineral water, as coffee. like i said n asked, dare u to try? i have no comments to trying it at this time... unless someone slips it into my cup without telling me (do it n die...)

wassalam

assalamualaikum this is the 3rd time that i (will) change my modems as well as the TV box. now for those who wants to know, Switzerland by far is dominated by Swisscom, one of the largest telecommunication provider. theres quite a few but this is probably the most promoted company. in my limited knowledge, theres also UPC Cablecom (which boasts cheap and REALLY fast internet... but bad customer services), Orange... yeah. i think thats it. theres of course more but those 3 are the common ones i encounter when it comes to connectivity. i started out with another provider (prepaid) before slowly venturing to postpaid as well as internet (internet came a bit later since the first apartment i stayed in had no way of installing your own internet as they already have one pre-installed and you had to buy monthly credits from the company who owned the building... sort of a hotel apartment). hence it was quite a while for me to get into the real deal. after having a postpaid line for

. . . tough times ahead . . .

assalamualaikum we are coming into the 6th day of Ramadhan (1439/2018). so far so good. missed one day (not accidental) as my heart turned dark that particular day. still, compared to last year, this is probably the farthest i have gotten to so far. both the girls, mama bear and baby bear snoring sweetly and myself, pondering on every ponders that are pondered and pondered as per my usual self ponders when pondering the ponders pondered. my head and shoulders feel heavy as the days come passing by. the sentence reverberates in the deep bowels of my mind: the older, the more responsibilities. probably i mentioned before but its best to say it again. for my own sake and probably yours (if you choose to ponder my ponders): life doesn't come with a manual guide. i like the malay saying too: "rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain". altho nowadays its better said that all hairs and hearts are different. minds... minds are on a different level. i seem to land myself in dif
