King of Fruits (durians)
07.01.08 (1:00 pm)   [edit]

Ang Sim (Red Heart)

Ang Sim is a durian with flesh, which is quite soft and very sweet, and dark yellow in color. It also has a nice aroma.

Khun Poh

This durian takes the name of the late Mr Lau Khun Poh, who first budded it. Khun Poh has beautiful orangy flesh with a slightly bittersweet taste and a heavy aroma.

Hor Loh (Water Gourd Durian)

The flesh of the Hor Loh is very soft, dry and quite bitter. It has a sharp smell to it. Hor Loh was first cultivated at the Brown Estate of Sungai Ara. It got its name from its appearance resembling a "Hor Lor" pumpkin. If the durian hits the ground hard when it falls, the flesh tends to be bitter thereafter.

 

Ang Heh (Red Prawn Durian)

Ang Heh originates from Pondok Upeh, Balik Pulau, and has a round-shaped husk. The orange reddish flesh is highly aromatic, very soft with a bittersweet taste.

Xiao Hung (Little Red Durian)

Xiao Hung, whose name means "Little Red One," originates in Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The flesh has a bittersweet taste to it, with a touch of sourness. The one that I tasted for this write-up is a bit hard. There are only one or two seeds per section, but the flesh is thick.

Yah Kang (Centipede Durian)

Yah Kang is one of my favorite durians. Although its flesh is whitish, the taste is superb, milky, like very sweet, melting chocolate. The name "yah kang" means centipede, and accounts for the number of centipedes found at the foot of the tree, hence giving it the rather unusual name.

Bak Eu (Pork Fat Durian)

Bak Eu has a slightly acidic aroma. The flesh is whitish while the taste is quite bitter but nice

D17

D17 is dark cream flesh. The taste is slightly dry but sweet. It is a tasty durian.

Coupling

This durian is gets its unusual name because it looks like two durians joined together, one big and one small. When split open, you almost thought the two halves belongs to two different durians. Coupling has whitish flesh, which is slightly dry but tastes good

Ooi Kyau (Turmeric Durian)

The name Ooi Kyau (turmeric) describes the color of the bright yellow flesh of this durian. It is very sweet and tasty

Chaer Phoy (Green Skin Durian)

Chaer Phoy is shaped like a small cantaloupe. The skin is bright green, giving it the name, which means "green skin". Chaer Phoy has creamy white flesh which is a bit dry, not too sweet but tasty.

Ang Jin (Red Yoke Durian)

As the name suggests, Ang Jin Durian has deep orange flesh. It is very sweet and tasty.

Lin Fong Jiau

This durian is named after Lin Fong Jiau, aka Mrs Jackie Chan. I wonder whether it is indicative of the relationship of the celebrity couple, for Lin Fong Jiau is a bittersweet

D11

"Number Eleven" is a very popular durian in the 70's. It has creamy yellow flesh with a pleasant taste and a subtle smell

D604

The late Mr. Teh Hew Hong of Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau, first cultivated the D604. The flesh is quite sweet, and has some "body" to it, as the seed is small.

D600

This durian originates in Sungai Pinang in Balik Pulau. The flesh has a bittersweet taste to it, with a touch of sourness. The one that I documented is a bit hard.

D700

The flesh is darker than D600, like chrome yellow. Also slightly hard. Crispy, but the smell is not very strong.

He sent a message to everyone from his Phone Book and said, “My Mobile number has changed. Earlier it was Nokia 3310, now it is 6610”

Ah Beng: I am a Proud, because my son is in Medical College.
Friend: Really, what is he studying?
Ah Beng: No, he is not studying, they are studying him.

Ah Beng: Doctor, in my dreams, I play football every night.
Dr: Take this tablet, you will be ok.
Ah Beng: Can I take tomorrow, tonight is final game.

Ah Beng: If I die, will you remarry?
Wife: No! I'll stay with my sister. But if I die will u remarry?
Ah Beng: No, I'll also stay with your sister.

Ah Beng: People consider me as a 'GOD'
Wife: How do you know?
Ah Beng: When I went to the Park today, everybody said, Oh GOD! You have come again.

Ah Beng complained to the police: “Sir, all items are missing, except the TV in my house.”
Police: “why the thief did not take TV?”
Ah Beng: “I was watching TV news...”

Ah Beng comes back to his car and find a note saying 'Parking Fine', He writes a note and sticks it to a pole 'Thanks for compliment.'

How do you recognize Ah Beng in School?
He is the one who erases the notes from the book when the teacher erases the board.

Once Ah Beng was walking he had a glove on one hand and not on other.
So the man asked him why he did so. He replied that the weather forecast announced that on one hand it would be cold and on the other hand it would be hot.

Ah Beng in a bar and his cellular phone rings. He picks it up and says “Hello, how did you know I was here?”

Ah Beng : Why are all these people running?
Man - This is a race, the winner will get the cup
Ah Beng - If only the winner will get the cup, why others running?

Teacher: “I killed a person” convert this sentence into future tense
Ah Beng: The future tense is “you will go to jail”

Ah Beng told his servant: “Go and water the plants!”
Servant: “It's already rain.”
Ah Beng: “So what? Take an umbrella and go.”

A man asked Ah Beng why Ahmad Badawi goes walking in the evening and not in the morning Ah Beng replied Ahmad Badawi is PM not AM.
 
Life Must Go On - arghhhhh
06.11.08 (5:14 pm)   [edit]
After I read this story, I don’t think so… huh… so sad! But our life must go on right?

Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia, the average family income is RM 3,000 /month (where father works, mother doesn't). I understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach RM 3,000 but, to make things simple, let's take RM 3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

1. Electricity and water bill: RM 55.00
(No air-con, home theatre, water heater ... oks?)

2. Phone bill (Telekom): RM 60.00

3. Meals for a happy family: RM 750.00
(3 meals on RM 25/day, RM 25 for 4 persons...?)

4. Papa makan / teh-tarik (lunch / tea break) during working hours: RM 155.00
(RM 5.00/day, RM 5.00 ... can eat what?)

5. Car repayment: RM 400.00
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 years repayment)

6. Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM 300.00
(go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running)

7. Insurance Coverage : RM 650.00
(kids, wife and myself)

8. House repayment: RM 450.00
(low cost housing repayment for 30 years, retired still have to work to pay!)

9. Tuition: RM 80.00
(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)

10. Older children pocket money @ school: RM 20.00
(RM 1.00/day, eat bread?)

11. Younger children milk powder: RM 80.00
(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)

12. Miscellaneous: RM 300.00
(shampoo, sauce, toilet paper)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...
No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no online,
cannot KFC,
cannot McDonald,
cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive),
no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Shit! RM 3,300.00 already...

EPF belum potong, inc ome tax lagi........already RM 3,300.00 ....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle? How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?

Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM 3,000.00/month!!!

What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... Sorry ... it should be Malaysians Boleh , because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!

Dear Mr. PM,

Thank you Prime Minister for increasing the fuel price because I think tomorrow I have to sell off my car and buy a cheap bicycle. Lucky for those singles, they can still bring their girlfriend around on a motorbike. As for me I am married with wife & 3 little children, how can they fit on the bike? I can’t bring them jalan-jalan (joyride) anymore.

You and your government were also saying that you will subsidize RM625 per year for the poor but I can’t imagine how is that going to help.

Let me do my calculation:
RM625 / 12 month = RM52.0833 per month
RM53.0833 / 20 days (working days) = RM2.6542 per day

Dear Mr. PM,

My conclusion is with RM2.65 per day, I only can get to travel 3km per day, which my working place is about 10km away, one way. This excludes me from going to mamak stall (food stall) to buy food for my wife & children, which take another 5km to reach.

Thank you very much Mr. PM, I hope you & your government will last sampai anak, cucu & cicit (until son, grandson & great grandson) because I don’t think my children will last until their next generation. If my children are lucky, they will go back to the estate and become a rubber taper. I hope by that time the rubber trees are still around.

You have given me & the people of Malaysia a good reason of global fuel hike. And I on behalf of the people of Malaysia thank you for that. The beautiful 40% increased of fuel price will bring up the price to other stuff like food, vegetable, fish, chicken, etc.

This means my wife and I can start to go on diet now, we used to dream that we can become members of fitness second but now the dreams are getting further. I am a very positive thinker; I thank you for increasing the fuel price because my three little children will eat less and won’t grow up fat like their father.

Mr. PM, from the picture of the newspaper, I think you have put on weight. Please take care of your cholesterol level. I don’t want you to be like our previous PM, which has gone through three to four bypass. Lucky for him, he survived.

Dear Mr. PM,

I also would like to congratulate you for not winning 2/3 majority in the last election. Haven’t you and your government learned the lesson from the last election? Why did you lose? What happened to the post-mortem? Now I know what’s the reason that ex-PM wants you to step down. Now I know what’s the reason the people of Malaysia wants you to step down.

Increase of RM0.78 per liter is a shock to all of us Malaysian! Luckily tsunami did not hit us like other countries did; or else this will be the second tsunami for us!

Thank you & God bless you!


Yours truly,

Citizen of Malaysia
 
Rakyat Dah Tak Heran
06.09.08 (11:01 am)   [edit]
RM 800 juta lagi subsidi, aku pandang suratkhabar Berita Harian tu… tah tak terasa apa-apa pun. Tah aku terasa tak heran pun apa yang kerajaan umumkan untuk rakyat DAN aku rasa rakyat pun tak heran apa yang kerajaan cakap sekarang.

Bunyi juta-juta puluh juta ratus juta dan billion pun bagi aku tak terasa dan tak heran langsung. Tak tahu lah kot orang kampung terasa hebat dengan perkataan itu. Aku pun dah lali dengan perkataan subsidi ni. Apa benda subsidi ni sebenarnya. Benda yang aku tak nampak dan tak paham.

Yang aku tahu ialah,

1. Puasa dah nak dekat, raya pun mesti hadir lepas puasa. Sekarang ni dah terasa sakit dengan harga barang naik, bulan puasa dan raya lagi orang meraung.
2. Bukak sekolah tahun depan macam mana? Kos seorang budak dah berapa ratus, kena anak 4 macam aku ni terasa nak pitam kot. Sekarang ni pun menggaru kepala sebab tambang bas dah nak naik dalam RM 30 lagi. Mana nak cekau duit.
Anak aku darjah 3 pernah sound aku masa aku ulur duit RM 1.00 untuk sekolah kebangsaan. “Mana cukup ayah, sekarang ni pun beli makanan share ngan kawan kawan, nasi dan air share 3 orang.” Nak tak nak aku terpaksa ulur RM 2.00 sebab kantin kat sekolah pun dah tak mampu tahan.
3. Letrik nak naik lagi, satu aje aku heran dan bebenar heran. Kalau kau beli barang sebiji harga dia katakan RM 10.00. Kalau kau beli barang tu dah 100 biji, tak kang penjual tu nak jual dengan harga RM 10.00 sebiji jugak. Dah tentu dia kasi diskaun 10 % ke apa ke… kau beli banyak kang.
Habis letrik macam mana? Kau pakai banyak dah tentu dia kasi diskaun kat kau sikit kang. Lagi banyak pakai lagi banyak diskaun kau dapat. Ini terbalik, lagi banyak pakai lagi mahal kau bayar.
4. Koridor utara selatan timur dan barat termasuk sabah dan sarawak, belum kira rel keretapi lah tah apa lagi projek mega lah. Kerajaan tak boleh tangguh ke benda benda tu semua. Dah tahu dalam keadaan sekarang ni kita tengah hadapi masalah, ktia hold dulu apa yang patut, kita reverse dulu beberapa perkara (tengok dan kaji balik). Kasi rakyat bertenang dan happy sikit. Nama pun kerajaan dari rakyat untuk rakyat. Bukan kerajaan dari undi hantu untuk kroni kroni.

Hari khamis lalu, selepas rega minyak naik lah, aku suruh bini aku kasi RM 10.00 kat stesen minyak tu nak isi motor aku. Bini aku terkejut, RM 5.00 dah lah melimpah kang tangki tu. Aku kata kasi aje mamat tu RM 10.00 minyak dah mahal. Bini aku tak percaya terus kasi RM 8.00 aje isi minyak… dah agak memang tak penuh pun motor aku.

Tah apa nak jadi kat Malaysia ni pun aku tak tahu. Kerajaan seolah olah tak boleh kawal langsung negara. Dah lah dari lepas PRU 12 sampai sekarang tak settle settle lagi pergolakan dalam umno. Macam mana nak jaga negara kalau sendiri pun bertelagah. Bukan hanya rakyat dok tengok, orang asing pun dok perati aje apa yang berlaku di Malaysia.

Cukup setakat ini, naik pening aku lihat gelagat manusia yang merasakan diri mereka hebat. Macam lah bila mati tu jasad diangkat ke langit.
 
The price of Gas versus Printer Ink
06.05.08 (4:05 pm)   [edit]
All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....

You will be really shocked by the last one! Compared with Gasoline......

Think a gallon of gas is expensive?

This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.

Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ...$10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 .........$9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ..... $10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 .... $10.00 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 ...... $33.60 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 ... $178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 .. $123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7oz $1.39 ....... . $25.42 per gallon
Scope 1.5oz $0.99 .....$84.48 per gallon

And this is the REAL KICKER...

Evian water 9 oz $1.49..$21.19 per gallon! $21.19 for WATER and the buyers doesn’t even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?

So they have you hooked for the ink. Someone calculated the cost of the ink at...............(you won't believe it....but it is true.......) $5,200 a gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars)

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!

Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...
 
Oh My GOD

My Sis gave these pictures

When someone tells you that you can't do something...



Look around...



Consider all options...



Then GO for it!



Use all the things God gave you!



Be creative!



In the end, you will succeed and prove them wrong!



Always remember
'Nothing is impossible, if your heart is willing'   :o)
