Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Beef and Potato Kebabs. A couple of days ago, my Mom gave me an interesting recipe that I tweaked based on ingredient availability and instinct.

Spring Onion, chopped. 2 Tbsp Butter, melted. Fully bake the potato (425°F, for about 60-90 minutes, until soft inside). Add onion and green pepper into the potato cup.

Sunday, June 22, 2014. A few days ago, a friend gave me a recipe that sounded interesting. I decided to give it a shot. Shrimp, Onions, and Bell Peppers, in a Sauce. 1 package shrimp (around 350g, I think) - cooked, peeled, and de-tailed. 2 Bell Peppers (Red, Yellow). 1 Tbsp Sambal Oelak (chili garlic sauce). 1-15 tsp garlic paste. 1/4 tsp chili powder. Melt the butter in a dish. Marinate the shrimps in the butter. Let the sauce and veggies cook for a while. I made mine with spaghetti!

Saturday, July 30, 2011. My Attempt at The SOA Exam P. If you came here in search of SOA exam books or similar PDF files, you'll be sorely disappointed. This is just an account of how I prepared for my exam and how it went.*. After a couple of months of poring over that behemoth of a book, I sat for the exam this past Thursday. My Weapons in My Battle Against Probability © Osama Sidat. Anyways, best thing was I didn't have to wait for too long for the exam to start (very unlike CIE exams). I was led ...

Sunday, October 5, 2014. I saw Jamie Oliver's video. The other day and really wanted to try out his way of cooking tuna steak. I didn't have the seasoning ingredients that he used, so I used a mix of what I had on hand. Tuna steak (slice thickness of 2cm or more). Mix the fajita and Italian seasonings, along with some salt and pepper. Rub on both sides of the steak. Drizzle some olive oil and rub into the steak. Set frying pan on medium heat. Take the steak off the pan and rub some olive oil in it.

Osama Sidat is writing on the Svbtle. April 22, 2014. NASA Space Apps Challenge, 2014. Two weekends ago, I attended the NASA Space Apps Challenge, held here in Kitchener-Waterloo.

Saturday morning, I formed a team with three strangers (not strangers anymore! Most of the early half of Sunday was spent just trying to. Which means that our project, Rocks!

Thursday, January 1, 2015. A recap of my life in twenty-fourteen. Since I started university back in 2010 (seems like eons ago), I've maintained a tradition of writing a blog post at the end of every year. This year's post has been at the back of my head for several days, but I still haven't been able to figure out what I'm going to write. And I don't think I can do monthly sections this time round. So I'll just let the words flow. Random Thoughts © Osama Sidat. D2L HQ © Osama Sidat. A detailed account i...
