of food, ketupat-making and knowledge sharing...

What a great way to start a day - a hefty brunch with friends who you'd some time take for granted when you have too many things to do. The semester break is almost over. Many have gone for a long leave. Some are still in the office to clear things up before classes start.

In order to make things not to gloomy especially on the level where my room is (most of my "negihbours" are on leave. So it's been very quiet up here), a few of us decided to have a "brunch party". It's been a long time since we had such makan-makan session. Although food is of course an important element of such gathering (mana ada sesi makan yang takde makanan!), but the best part is always the "ketupat-making" session. From one perspective, I would see this as a "knowledge-sharing" session. I strongly think so because most of the time you are relating something that others might not know yet, or something that need further discussion and something that one can learn more about and ambil iktibar darinya. Topics included academics, politics and of course, kalau dalam newspaper term, "human interests" which was a hit. Tak payahle mention kat sini apa-apa dia. Suffice to say, memang interesting.

The food is still a lot left. Maybe we might have a second helping later. No they will not go to waste. Everything is getting expensive these days. So tokleh buang makanan... berdosa! Lagipun kat Afrika tu ramai yang tak makan. Kat Mesia pun ada gamaknya...
