Different Maldivian fish types exposed...

all these days i cant believe i did not know to differentiate between hikimas and valho mas. i thought hikimas was valhomas and valhomas was valhomas too. anyways incase there are some more of us who cant identify between the two and more lemme explain

Valhomas (smoked fish)

Valhomas is a type of tuna that is cut usually the head is removed, this is then boiled in water with a bit of salt in it. next using the coconut husk it is smoked, this is also known as the smoked fish. this is mostly used in making mashuni and is quite soft compared with lonu mas and hiki mas

Hikimas (dried fish)

when the smoked fish mentioned above is dried in the sun for many days it is known as hikimas(dried fish) this is usually rock hard and used in the famous mas kaashi ( fish and coconut) this is a snack that is served in traditional maahefun (a feast that families and freinds gather to enjoy before the fasting month of ramazan) and during festivities.

Lonu mas (Salted fish)

the fish here is cut and salted, and by salted i mean salted and salted and then dried in the sun without cooking. i have never honestly tasted this nor do i know where it is used but some of the tuna used are the bigger ones "kanneli" (bluefin tuna i think) mom said sharks used to be available though i m sure its not now

ro mas ( live tuna/dead tuna)

this is what the real thing looks like before it become these delicious fish product mentioned above.

imposter parents for PT meetings

Looking back at those days at school during my o’levels and a’levels, I remember what I dreaded most – the parent teacher meetings. I guess even today it remains the same for most of the students. When it comes to parents meeting the school teachers, supervisors or the administrators it becomes a nightmare. Back during those days us students used to take our brothers or sisters or someone like a cousin to these meetings, sometimes students took their boy friends which by the way was pretty rare.

Catching up with some of my younger family members, I found out that still most of their friends dread the PT meetings. And since this is the time of the terms/semester that these meetings become famous I myself had volunteered to go as a pretend parent. That was when one of them told me what he and his friends had done.

I will name this person “X” because he will kill me if I tell who he is. Anyway a few weeks ago X’s friend got busted after a fight that the school demanded he bring his father to meet the supervisor. This boy is studying for his a’ levels in male’ and I don’t think I do not need to mention the name of the school. This boy also happens to be a very famous business mans son. The thing was if he took his father to school he wont be able to go out with X or any others boys of his gang. So they made a plan

The person X is quite fat and looks pretty old when he dresses up. hence they decided that X should go as the father. With his new grown beard and decent hair style a bit of old fashioned shirts and pants X went to school posing as a father. He had previously practiced a dialogue of what they should do and should say. To my surprise and his surprise the supervisor bought the act.

Person X explained that he was told of the boys behavior, and acts to which he blamed the boys and later sent the boy off to discuss some serious matters like the fact that the schools canteen was way too out of style and expensive. Person X criticized various things about the school and blamed the school about not being able to handle the students and teachers and the lessons that produce good citizens. And again another surprise was the supervisor agreed and stated that the school under the current head was difficult to operate and not at all satisfactory and would rather send her own son/daughter abroad than waste it there in that school

Conclusion: STUPID supervisor , brilliant students… and how the hell and 18 year old got away as a parent of another 18 year old… seriously …

Paranoia is contagious in Male' sheesh

When you have been out of the country for a few months or more, you get adapted to the community you are residing in and where you were becomes distant place till you go back again. Once you return you see these odd bits about this society you left and have come back to. Sometime it’s weird and scary to return and find out that things have gotten much worse than it used to be.

Having heard about the gang violence and street fights, I was asked by my friends and parents not to entertain verbal abuse by these young and notorious men and women who seems to wander around in male’. Jobless maybe homeless I don’t know what there intentions are. Besides the politics I think it is the most depressing thing I have seen. Well any way I am a paranoid little idiot when i am being myself.

Second day in male’ I was coming home after meeting a certain web developer/photographer. I live in this area where a lot of political and gangster disturbance rises from time to time. The thing is the lights on our road are broken, and even after complaining for a week or two it has not been replaced saying its going to be broken again.. I was just a few blocks away from home when this guy wearing a yellow t- shirt started to follow me verbally abusing me. And he touched me. I turned around to see who he was but I couldn’t make out his face.

I rushed home and was getting ready to go out with a friend, when mom came dropped off my brother and went off again. As soon as she left this guy wearing a yellow t shirt scratching his head comes in to the house and in to our room. I screamed and screamed at him” get out of the room now” and shut the door tight with my youngest brother behind me.

Hearing me shout one of my house mate came out and called my brother saying” alyan your quruan sir is here”

SHIT ! that was hell of an embarrassing situation… I was so embarrassed. He is coming tonight again and im so not staying home.

Oh and by the way this quruan teacher isn’t the guy who followed me verbally abusing me though they both are young and skinny. He was standing near the corner hotel when I got out later that night. It was that coincidence this quruan teacher was wearing a yellow tshirt that night. Sheesh I felt so stupid.

RUST IN PEACE -mega death

Tremble you weakings, cower in fear
I am your ruler, land, sea and air
Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall
I am nuclear murderer I am Polaris
Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
My systems locked in on military gluttons
I rule on land, air and sea
Pass judgement on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of hell
Will we give warnings, only time will tell
Satan rears his ugly head, to spit into the wind
I spread disease like a dog
Discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Launch the Polaris, the end doesn't scare us
When will this cease
The warheads will all rust in peace
Bomb shelters filled to the brim
Survival such a silly whim
World leaders sell missiles cheap
Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps

High priests of holocaust, fire from the sea
Nuclear winter spreading disease
The day of final conflict
All pay the price
The third world war
Rapes peace, takes life
Back to the start, talk of the part
When the Earth was cold as ice
Total dismay as the sun passed away
And the days where black as night

Eradication of Earth's
Population loves Polaris

MISSED MY EXAM ... argh!

Ever since i came here to college to study for my medical imaging course i have a very precise schedule for studying... as in i make sure i study during the study break
( the one week i get to study at home)
i stayed in my room and studied and studied and studied. proof needed ask my house mates. during the exam week i was mor relaxed and revised a bit using the short notes i had prepared during the lectures and my study hours... so that allowed me to go to movies, dancing or what ever i wanted to do during my exam. but there was this one night i was quite freaking out about the last exam that i ditched two movie offers and msn chat with a dude i really love messing around with to study... i studied for awhile slept and woke up around five thirty ( which is my usual time for waking up for college) i really have no idea what happened next, i woke up at 1 30 pm near my study desk with a paper stuck to my face .... my first thought " no no no this cant be happening!"
but it did i missed my exam because i was way too freaked out to relax the previous night, which prolly made my brain be temporarily de activated, sigh... lesson well learnt... no more revising during the early morning atleast till i reach the college. and no more ditching movies and msn chats during exam...

msn chat with a guy ...

he says:
Thee art of may looks lovely,
lighting and shines in the buds did take my heart away,
A summers day did take my heart out,
As like a short date as today, even with an evil twin by my side...
the day made me feel hot and my eyes are shining with ur reflecting on it,
My question n question it is...
R u the fairy the angel i cant decline,
This enter summers day is my life,
The eternal summer shall not fade
So long as i can breath n see... ur reflection will be in me...
Oh summer day live free and give life to all u come across
and give life to thee.... cause u r the angel n song of ma heart...
summer day compared with my angel

she says:
time waits for no man
yet the flowers blossomed for you
but this rose will soon wither away
for her beauty doesn't last long
as she waits for prince who came
gallantly seeking for her
and disappeared
before she can blossomed for him.
