hectic time

OMG

OMG!!..It has been almost 3 month since my previous entry..huhu..So damn busy with lots of things throughout the months. OK2..will publish a post by end of this week..tunggu!!

A shocking morning

Today's post is not a happy post. Last Friday, I was shocked by a news that one of my RA's wife is critical in ICU. She was poured with ACID!..It felt like in a movie and can't believe that it is real..Really guys! I wish I was dreaming when my colleagues inform me about it..With a lot of uncertainties, not sure what has actually happen, we are praying and hoping that she is not in a critical condition. And on Saturday, her case was published in Metro. It was even more shocking to know that that bastard has caused injury to 3 WOMENS!..All incident happened in Brickfield!..What a crazy person!!.. He/she doesn't deserve any sympathy. Should just shot him/her straight to the head.

Ok back to my staff's wife story. As the bastard pour acid straight to her face and shoulder, her injury was most probably unrecoverable. To date we were informed that she might  lost her sight of her right  eyes. FYI, we are thankful that the acid was not the cuka getah..probably a diluted alcohol but the damaged is still devastating. 

Serously, I couldn't imagine if I am in her position. What a scary world we are living in now. So ladies, be careful ya!..Trust your gut and be safe!..My prayer's for Wan's wife and hope she will recover. May ALLAH's bless always with you. AMIN..

Lempeng susu 2 minit

Malam2 ni tetibe rase lapa plak..tp nk keluar dari rumah punyelah malas..Godek punye godek dalam dapur, jumpelah penyelamat idupku..berbekalkan tepung gandum yg dh bertahun2 tak bukak, maka terhasillah lempeng susu segera ku ini..

Resepinya, mudah giler..
1 cawan tepung gandum
1 cawan susu segar
1 biji telur
secubit garam
sedikit air
2 sudu gula

xde teknik yang tinggi skil diperlukan untuk menyediakan lempeng ni..campurkan sume bahan2 dan kacaukan sehingga sebati..cuma pastikan adunan tak terlalu pekat atau terlalu cair..Panaskan non-stick frying pan dan panaskan kuali dengan margerin..panas je kuali, jgn segan silu untuk mencurahkan barang sesenduk dua adunan (nak tebal, bykkan lg bilangan scoop adunan) dan goyang2kn pan supaya adunan 2 sekata di atas pan..agak2 dah masak satu bahagian (max 1 minit), tebalikkan supaya satu bahagian lagi masak juga..dan kemudian, letakkan di pinggan dan curahkan susu pekat manis diatasnye..

Lempeng susu 2 minit

hmm..sdapnye hingga menjilat jari beb..ade juga yang suka mkn lempeng ni dengan kari, gula kabung, peanut butter, jem dan sebagainye..terpulang dengan selera masing2..anyway,slmt mencuba!

Soalan-soalan Maut

Berikut adalah soalan2 maut yang aku terima daripada Dr Andersen yang jawapan aku adalah "No idea, Not sure, I don't know dan yang sewaktu dengannya".. Soalannye nampak memang senang tp bagi aku by agak2 tido time Sejarah, mmg xboleh nk jawab..so trigger sikap ingin tahu ku jgak la..di saat2 ini, En google sangat2 la berguna..

1) Where did Malays originate?

Rupe2nye, nenek moyang kita ni daripada Yunan, Tanah besar China..Ptot la kite ni ala2 cerah berbanding negara2 lain..untuk bacaan lanjut, sila klik cni : Sejarah asal- usul Melayu

2)Where is the aboriginal people came from?

Ni lg pning..xpnah2 aku nk amik tau  asal usul org asli..tau2 mmg dh wujud kt Malaysia..Sila baca Sejarah org asli Malaysia

3)What is the history of Malay and Singapore

Ni la padahnye xnk bc buku sejarah tingkatan 5. Kantoi jgak menjawapnye..Ini la cite sbenanye

4) Why do Malay language is very much different from the Thais?.

Xpnah2 aku tepk soalan ni..sila la bc link ini (Bahasa Melayu) tuk pemahaman bersama. Kalau ade yg tanye, boleh la korang jawap ngan jayanya

So, moral of the story adik2..sila ambil perhatian tentang sejarah anda..mungkin kita anggap xpenting tp bile bedepan ngan org luar dan kita tak tau nak jawab, terase sangat2 bodoh diri ini..

Sekian, Terima Kasih

February crazyness

This month is the busiest month ever setakat ni...too much things to do in a too little time..3 weeks in a row memang xduduk rumah..After the writing retreat, and trip to PITC plot survey, I am assissting visiting researcher from Australia..Dr Alan. N Andersen.. He is actually my trainer during my short crash course in Australia..So datang sini untuk visit me n our site la..He's here from 21-26 Feb..I tell you, melayan kedatangan pelawat memang memenatkan..

Ni la Dr Andersen. Photo credit to CSIRO

Sape Dr Andersen ni sbenanye?..haa..meh cni I cerita sket..He is Chief Research Sceintist of CSIRO Darwin, Australia. HE speciealizes in tropical savannah management, ant community ecologyand invertebrates as indicators of ecosystem health. SO kirenye die ni mmg power pasal forest ecology la..especially kt Australia..

So untuk memenuhkan aktiviti beliau ketika di sini (skemanye aku), aku pon bawak la die g few sites kt Malaysia. Kt bawah ni adalah ringkasan adventure ktorang..hehe

Dengan bantuan Rozaimi dan abg Jamil as pemandu sampai la kt kem PITC adalah kul 10 mlm..Sebab dah seharian Dr ni xtido, die mmg sangat2 x sabar untuk tido..tp aisehman, die xbawak sleeping bad..menggagau la mencarik sleeping bag or comforter tuk die..sib baik la ade harta2 wakaf yang tinggal kt kem 2..dpt la bagi kt die..dan die pon tido la dengan amannye..hehe

The second last day of Dr Andersen's visit, we utilize his expertise by having a more serious discussion about work and possible collaboration. Ye la, dh bpe hari kt Malaysia, so he have a better understanding on our forest and his ideas might benefit us in future. 

Disebabkan kita ni host yang baik, xkn la nk bg guest kita stress sepanjang hari kn..ptgnye, we brought him to one of the main attraction of Selangor..mane lagi kalau tak ke Kuala Selangor. Tempat-2empat yang dilawati adalah Bukit Melawati (melawat spiky monkeys=silverleaf monkeys), Dinner @ Pasir Penambang dan tentunya boat ride for firefly at Kampung Kuantan..Terkejut die tengok kelip2 yang kita ada..something yang die tak pernah tengok sebelum ini..hikhikhik

Bak kata orang, dah bawak pelawat merata2, xkn la xbawak kt laman sndiri kn..so memandangkan hari ni adalah hari last Dr Andersen kt cni, I've organized a guided tour to FRIM (Thanks Wan for helping).. With our experienced guard, MR Ang (ex FRIM staff), we went to FRIM's trail and explore the treasure that we have at our own backyard. Sib baik la ade Mr Ang sebab aku mmg xtau nk explain ape pon pasal FRIM ni..especially pasal pokok..knfem kantoi..Highlight of the tour mestila crown shyness..To complete our trip, we had a lunch @  Malay Tea House

Mr Ang, our guide explaining something about the herbs of FRIM

Crown Shyness @ FRIM

After the trip to FRIM, it's time to say good bye. I send Dr Andersen to KLIA at around 5 pm.  Surprisingly, he gave me a half dozen of mini soap that we bought during our lunch just now.. I thought he bought it for his family (Thanx Alan!).

Hand made mini soap. Present from Alan

It's an eye opening experience. Taught me how to handle a visitor. It took a lot than just jalan2. We must be prepared and always creative to entertain our guest. So next time I receive a guest, I'll be more prepared.

A shot @ KLIA 

Bye Alan, till we meet again..:-)
