في المقهى ريتز هناك الطعام ، لكنّ الطّعام ليس جيد ، هو ساخن جدا او بارد جدا ،  و الزيت الكثير جدا و ليس لحم كثير الاستمتاع  بالاكل. ليس هناك طعام جيد في الجامعة ، لذلك انا دائما جائع ، انا جائع في محاضراتي و انا جائع عندما اسافر و انا جائع عندما انام . لذلك افك خمس-عشرة أرطال دائمًا ، عندما اسافري إلى امريكا للدرسي في الجامعة . و انا عطشان ايضًا دائمًا ، انا عطشان جدا عندما اعدو و انا عطشان عندما أسبح و انا عطشان عندما ادرس و انا عطشان عند الاكل ، لذلك  احيانا اقيم في الجامعة و لا اخرج .

في الايام التي اوقظها الساعة العاشرة و ست و ثلاثون ، انا ليس سعيد جدا ، بسبب ساعتين للنوم فقط . اليوم كان ذلك اليام . احيانا، عندما اوقظها في نفس الساعة ، اعمل لا عمله . عادة لا اسهر ، لكن احيانا للفهم  محاضراتي احتاج اسهر لفهمهم . يمكن ان افهم محاضراتي و انام اكثر لكننيّ سأفشل ، لذلك احيانا اقيم في الجامعة .

In the cafe Ritz is there the food, but the food is not good, he is very hot or very cold, and the oil many very and many enjoyment meat is not with the eating . There is no good food in the university, therefore I am always a hungry, I am hungry in my lectures and I am hungry when I travel and I am hungry when it put to sleep . Therefore I disconnect five - ten pounds always, when Isafri to America of Ldrsi is in the university . And I am thirsty also always, I am very thirsty when I run and I am thirsty when I swim and I am thirsty when I study and I am thirsty at the eating, therefore sometimes he was established in the university and do not go out .

In the days that I wake at tenth and thirty six, I am not very happy, because of two hours for the sleep only . Today that was Al Yam . Sometimes, when I wake it at the same time, make no its work . Habitually do not stay up, but sometimes for the understanding my lectures needed stay up for their understanding . Understand my lectures and put to sleep more but I will fail, therefore sometimes he was established in the university .

 

For those of you who tried my kickass Tomato cream sauce with Italian meats, here's the sister recipe; equally healthy and equally decadent at the same time, we need a celebration, we need a cookout, we need some food!!!

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (60ml), plus extra for drizzling
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
8 large sun dried tomatoes, chopped
12 black olives, pitted
200g canned tuna (7oz)
2 cups tomato sauce (see ‘salsa di 5 minuti’ recipe) (470ml)
1⁄2 cup 35% whipping cream (120ml)
Bunch of Italian parsley, finely chopped

Tomato cream sauce is heavenly. And when it's paired up with tuna it is like seeing god. I mean, the sauce just melts in your mouth and it is perhaps the best sauce for penne as it gets trapped inside each individual pasta.

 

 Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Add garlic, sun dried tomatoes and black olives. Cook until garlic turns golden in colour.
 Pour in tomato sauce and cook for a few minutes. Drain the canned tuna and add it to the sauce. Cook for an additional minute.
 Add the whipping cream and cook all together on high heat until just before the sauce begins to boil.
 Add cooked penne (just before the al dente stage) or your favorite pasta and finish cooking directly in the sauce for an additional minute.
 Sprinkle parsley and drizzle with the best extra virgin olive oil available. Serve immediately.

In my opinion Süleyman was the most powerful man on earth, this can clearly be seen in a letter from him to King FrancisI; Back then France was the most powerful country in the West. Süleyman, the Magnificent!!!!

Letter's introduction:

I, who am the sultan of sultans, the sovereign of sovereigns, the dispenser of crowns to the monarchs on the face of the earth, shadow of god on earth, the sultan and sovereign lord of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, of Rumelia and Anatolia, of Karamania and the land of Rum, of Zulkadria, Diyarbakir, of Kurdistan, of Azerbaijan, Persia, Damascus, Cairo, Aleppo, of the Mecca and Medina, of Jerusalem, of all Arabia, of the Yemen and many other lands, which my noble forefathers and my glorious ancestors - may God light up their tombs - conquered by the force of their arms and which my august majesty has made subject to my flaming sword and victorious blade, I, Sultan Süleyman Han, to thee, who art Francis, king of the land of France ...



     - Istanbul, Constantinople 1536,
       Letter of Süleyman, the Magnificent, to Francis I, King of France.


Süleyman, became Khalīfah of the Ottaman empire from 1520 - 1566, at the same time he was also Sultan to the Turks. He personally led Ottoman armies to conquer Belgrade, Rhodes, and most of Hungary, besieged Vienna, and annexed huge territories of North Africa as far west as Morocco and most of the Middle East.

Within the empire, Suleiman was known as a fair ruler and opponent of corruption. He was a great patron of artists and philosophers, and was noted as one of the greatest Islamic poets, as well as an accomplished goldsmith. He is known in the West as Suleiman the Magnificent and in the Islamic world as the Lawgiver القانونى, a nickname stemming from his complete reconstruction of the Ottoman legal system.

في الايام الكل اذهب فيها الى الجامعة ، اخرج من البيت حوالي الساعة واحدة . بعد الظهر، استيقط دائما في الساعة  الثمانية تمامًا. محاضراتي تبدا في الساعة اثنان بعد الظهر لذلك استطيع قبلها الدراسة في المكتبة ساعة واحدة ثم اتناول الغداء. اثناء هذا الوقت احب ان ادرس اللغة العربية و ادرس للعمال محاضراتي ، بدلاً من النوم و الهوايات . بعد المحاضرات ادهب الى الجمنازيوم للرياضة ؛ احب الجري هوايتي المفضلة. او ادهب مع بعض زملائي الى ريتز لاكل العشاء ؛ احب ايضا اكل الدجاج كثيرا .

متى اعود الى بيتي في المساء ، انا تعبان جدا و ليس لي القوة . لان دراسي طوال اليوم و الرياضة . في المساء اتصل بحبيبتي و الاصدقاء والاسرة في سنغافورة. في المساء انا احيانا فعلا وحيد لان ليس لي اصدقاء كثيرون هنا ؛ انا ليس لدي حياة هنا. لذلك استطيع ان ادرس لستة موضوعات و اركز على صحتي و اعمالي و واجباتي ، انام دائما في الساعة اثنا عشر و النصف ، لذلك  انا دائما احصل على ثمانية ساعات للباقي . احيانا في المساء اجلس في الفر اندة لاشرب الماء و ادخن سيجارة و اكل الدجاج الكبير و اكل القات لنسيان حزني . امازح

What I think I Wrote:

On the days which I go to the university, I go out at about one o'clock afternoon, I always wakeup at 8 am. My lectures start at two in the afternoon, therefore I can study in the library for one hour before lunch, during this time I study Arabic and I study for my business lectures instead of sleeping and my hobbies. After my lectures i go to the gym for sports; running is my preferred hobby. Or I would go for dinner at the Ritz with some of my colleagues; I love eating chicken alot.

When i return home in the evening, i am very tired and do not have the strength, due to studying all day and sporting activities. In the evening I would contact my darling and the friends and the family in Singapore. Sometimes I am lonely in the evening because I do not have many friends her. I do not have a life here; therefore, I can study six subjects, concentrate on health and my work. I always sleep at 12:30, for that reason I always get 8 hours of sleep. Sometimes in the evening would sit alone and drink water, smoke a cigarette, eat big chickens and chew Khat (Qat) to forget my sadness (kidding)

Nicholas (Koban)
Nicholas, the semi empowered individual, comes from a long humble line of jacket makers. During his assent into the Tibetan mountains, Nicholas, discovered the infamous Kaichangachundra Thevi Vercingetorixchen and his many paintings; so beautiful were the paintings that they were all burnt to vestiges; unearthly beauty only worthy of Gods vision. The omnipotent artist had one request, “Make me a jacket and you will have all my powers and more”. Nicholas started to make a jacket unlike any other under guidance of his Sensei, but before it was completed, a child killer of unknown origin took his masters life in the hours of darkness. This left Nicholas partially empowered with Kaichangachundra’s powers. Since then, Nicholas has turned to a career in reprisal, in hope of one day reciting: “My name is Nicholas Boey, you killed my Sensei of the Bushido Dojo prepare to die.”

Andrew
Andrew, the mysterious slayer, executioner of Nicholas Boey’s (koban) Sensei, now lives a humble life in the remote regions of West Maputo, Mozambique. The carnage of the 4-3 revelations still haunt his mind and has devastating effects on the community of this small desolate country which god seemed to have forgotten. Andrew the vast, who once banished the great Kaichangachundra Thevi Vercingetorixchen (YYY) to the Tibetan mountains, deported Phang (the child killer) to the middle of stacked tables and body slammed his way though both Stevie’s and Leeroy the Hufferlump’s houses has now been reduced to a man of few words and actions. But inside power brews for the bloodbath of yesteryear has not been forgotten.

Leroy
Grand power still lurks beneath this putrid cadaver of deception and mystification, the pelt which Leroy was drafted from is considered the purest form of paroxysmally, and while the origins of his descent is unidentified, it is widely believed that Leroy was forged from the steel and plastic of the 4-3 domain, the blood of the creature only known as Stevie, and the Charms of a fallen gambling archangel. His breadth fiercer than the white tiger, his vigor as potent as the Dead Sea, and his psyche superior to that that of the mathematician. The fights from the days forgotten have little stalled Leroy’s efforts to immortalization; his only hindrance is his futility and the great Kaichangachundra Thevi Vercingetorixchen an unexplained Tibetan legend of unrelenting power only know by the one christened “Koban”, the semi empowered individual.

Phang
Phang, the Child Killer, hails from Russian and German decent, his name is an acronym for fear. Phang in all his greatness is the second member of the 3 Pagan Gods, known collectively as ALVIN – the white tigers. For centuries the universal belief was that a powered stare from the Child Killer would Fry and crispen the skin of Rabbis, this has sent the Jewish community to flee and hide in burrows know as Erzsébetváros. Phang, the Child Killer, is revered by his people as the God of Mercy and Tandem Brutality. During the 4-3 Revelations he took wealth and frightened countless peasants; the mighty Phang; did however, fall victim to the awesome slamming muscle of Barret, and was most recently seen exuding hallowed liquid beneath the Mango Tree of Shelter, during the epic fight of the Meat Abundance.

Alvin
Alvin, the White Tiger, is a collective body of the three pagan Gods; Stevie the God of Blood and Sacrifice, Phang the God of Mercy and Tandem Brutality and Shu Hua, the Gay God of Happiness. Once a year Alvin takes human form, and possesses supernatural electrical powers by creating electrical chairs of terror. This is the same electrical power which he used to pluck the archangel of gambling and chance from the heavens, banishing him to the chasms of the subterranean Mee Choo fissure.

Isaac
Isaac, the quiet one, is a merchant of many traits; one might even say he is the Jack of all trades. Coming from a lengthy line of Laser crafters, Isaac has grown exceedingly rich from the trade of sundries and translations as Isaac speaks the ancient language truth; however, he participated no more than verbally during the epic fights of the 4-3wf revelations. His clam and reserve manner has long puzzled the peasants of his hometown in Ouagadougou, the original Kingdom of Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso). Some say Isaac can see the future, some say Isaac can see the past; the only fact we know for sure is that Isaac receives favor from the great food Gods of Stall number 4, selling him the sacred beef broth which the Gay God of Happiness, Shu Hua treasures so much.

Kaichangachundra Thevi Vercingetorixchen
Kaichangachundra Thevi Vercingetorixchen, artist inventor scientist legend, the secrecy jacketing the identity of this galactic figure is a breathtaking shield, exuding lights, sparkling for the whole universe to see. This jacket used to be viewable solar systems away, but was forcefully taken from underneath the boxed rubble by Leroy the Huffelump after the mighty 360; so great was the jacket’s power that Leroy was instantly butcher by the emaciated threads which lined the jacket. His majesty, Kaichangachundra, now dawns a coat formed from the blood of Koban’s Sensi and the ashes of pure beauty.

Ryan
Ryan, is a man of few admirable talents, but one with a bent capacity for doing all things retarded. Amongst these, I have seen Ryan successfully balanced a well oiled pencil in a sharpener, opened a can with some rubber, stuck some peanuts in a hole, aided in the gushing of fluids, totaled fresh merchandise, slammed a member the other family, dived into the abyss, and found hidden treasure. One can only start to try and interpret the many meanings this testimonial has, but much like sticking your foot in a protein, carbohydrate and amino acid solution, you too must be aware that there is no spoon.

Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.  And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

               - Deuteronomy 14:7-8 (Bible, King James Version)


Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

               -  Isaiah 65:4 (Bible, King James Version)


Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

               -  Matthew 7:6 (Bible, King James Version)


Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
