Since all the disasters that are happening around the world in May, many people felt that it is partly due to the continuously harming of the environment . This reminded me of the talk on enzyme that I have attended last July. Joean, the speaker taught us on how to make enzyme from vegetable waste. Just use the vegetable leftovers/fruit skins (strictly no meat and fish!!!! Or else, you’ll be fainted by its smell) plus brown sugar and water @ ratio of 3:1:10 to ferment for 3 months before use.

There are many uses, ie., for cleaning, air purifier, washing, etc. I have tried it out. The smell is very nice especially if you put in a lot of citrus fruit skin.. But for cleaning and getting rid of the ants stuffs….well I must say , it fails, probably I did not kept to the instructions very well .

However, one usefulness is to pour some enzyme into the sewage system to at least help to ‘balance’ of the chemical /toxic compounds in the system. I don’t know whether it is really effective but there is nothing to lose and it does not cost much at all. If it does really work, I am
happy to be part of the effort to help to take care of mother earth.

my favourite dish at the moment.



My present favourite dish




Fried egg with shrimp and bitter gourd

I intend to make this my daily dish and I have told G.A. that I can eat this dish daily for a week.
G.A. is questioning me whether I would able to do that.

As prices of all kind of food items are sky rocketting, I think it is a nutritious food that I can eat everyday, within my budget.

p.s. I know, I know, too much egg is no good but I have grown to love fried eggs by G.A.


p.p.s.

only kampong chicken eggs

Dog's day

Not knowing the changes at Komtar Tower, I ventured up there last year to have lunch with G.A. The place changed dramatically from what I remembered as it used to be. It was quiet like a dead zone . Only a sales person was manning the gifts counter and ticketing counter.

A Japanese couple who went up together with us were totally appalled when they were asked to pay RM15 per person per entry.(with compliments of a bottle of mineral water and a few postcards) As we were not there for Georgetown’s bird view, we were recommended to buy food coupon which were also RM15 each .

As I was planning to dine in a Chinese restaurant, e.g. Tower Palace, I was very skeptical and kept confirming with the staff whether there was still a restaurant or was it a food court. She kept assuring me that there were Chinese food served and even let me went through the menu.
Although the prices indicated were pricey, ie. Fried spinach for > RM10.00, I did not take any heed from my 6th sense and went in.

As soon as I saw the place, I knew I have been ‘conned’ . Two foreign staff was manning the little food court there. All that western style, Chinese style, local dish blah, blah……… I still couldn’t believe it and ignored the puzzled look from them, and went to the next section, walked round the tower searching for a restaurant. Well, a ‘restaurant’ was there but it was not operating daily , it only operate on ad hoc basis in advance booking.

Later, I found out that it had been taken over by a catering company .

p.s. we had a plate of fried noodles and noodles soup plus a cup of coffee for RM33 ++ for lunch. No wonder, I did not meet a ‘fly’ up there except for workers and the Japanese tourist.

old dog learns to blog


Monday, June 2, 2008

I have been thinking to start a blog since 2006 but keep on procrastinate until I stumble to www.blogger.com this evening. That is why I have nothing to post on my blog right now.
I just thought of saying things with pictures as I am not good with words and the language but I am having trouble to load some pictures right now. And I have been struggling for 2 hours now, so I better call it a day.

p.s. Hope I could wake up in time tomorrow morning and my 'guardian angel' is nagging now!!!
