food wastage



there you have it. it always irk me whenever i see the last person leaving behind a small portion of food be it rice in a pot, snacks, kuih etc etc as if someone else going to eat it. we all know no one's going for the last piece and it has become some sort of unspoken rule not to take the last piece. I know there are reasons behind this action such as being polite in case someone want to eat the food. oh well, its better for you to just finish it because we all know nobody's going to eat it. that small portion is already considered as a leftover. no one eat leftover. other reason is when you don't want to be the last person so that you don't have to wash the pot or cook the new batch of rice. so you leave a small amount of food claiming someone else will be the last one even though the quantity is ridiculously low. this is just purely selfish and god i want to kick their ass whenever my friend do this. I don't know... It seems like the foods are invisible to the eyes when the amount is small.

and then there's this thing that i never get people always look at me in amaze whenever i finish my plate clean and they ask me how do i eat so clean. you just eat all the food!!!! my friend asked how i can eat chicken leaving behind just bones and not a single meat left and they claim they can never do that. oh please.... you're not even trying and you said you can never do that.

ah oh well, don't waste your food

pijat

bed bug is its name in english. I haven't had this problem for a really long time that I've totally forgotten the name pepijat. it is an parasite insect that live on by sucking your blood. just like lice, it is really hard to eradicate it since any repellent or substance wont kill it. it can live anywhere in your house as long as it's close to the food source that is us human which makes the searching area really big and it is really small.

so, recently my house got a bed bug infestation as we have to go and stay at different places from time to time and there are guests coming to our house a lot. any of these occasion can lead to this infestation. initially, one of my housemate keep on getting bitten and after quite sometimes, my roommate started to get bitten too. then yesterday, they declare war against the bed bug and do search and destroy operation in all bedrooms. I didn't join them when they started the operation as i was at out doing some shopping tee hee. by the way all bed sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers are inspected and washed in boiling water. some are thrown away, and yeah they left no pillow unturned. all spring boxes are thrown away since we cant risk having hidden nest.

at the end of the day, everybody was totally exhausted except me because i was still out shopping. so the only thing i can do is help in finishing the operation like managing the bed sheet laundry. on a totally unrelated note, the vacuum cleaner smells like rat piss. if you've dealt with rat piss before you'll know how bad it is. since the vacuum cleaner act like air refresher, any smell it has is being sprayed to the house so we have free air freshener with rat piss scent. man that's the worse thing happen second to bed bug infestation problem in the house. the thing is, we live in an apartment and there's no way there's a rat living in my apartment. and the vacuum cleaner become smelly after we lent it to other house. my housemates are all really crossed with this since none of the borrowers want to admit and the blame was pointed to us back saying that it has been smelly right from the beginning. bad excuse mate, as we just used it right before we lent it to you and it was just fine. oh well, what's done is done. i hope i can get rid of the smell from the vacuum.

here's the specimens that we get from the operation.
see the big bug? that's the king there are all kind of stages of bed bug in this pic
from eggs to adult varying in size.

rain rain

since its raining heavily here in Ireland, it just reminds me of the monsoon history poem that I learnt back in secondary school. It is rainy season in Malaysia right now especially in north east of the peninsular. yeah I do drink milo looking at the rain that pouring down the city, the grey sky, the damp mood of the house. feels good I love rain

Monsoon History

The air is wet,
Soaks bring up into mattresses,
And curls in apparitions of smoke.
Like fat white slugs furled among the timber,
Or silver fish tunneling the damp linen covers of
schoolbooks,
Or walking
Quietly like centipedes, 
The air walking everywhere
On its hundred feet
Is filled with the glare of tropical water.

Again we are taken over by clouds and rolling darkness.
Small snails appear
Clashing their timid horns
Among the morning glory vines.

Drinking Milo,
Nyonya and baba sit at home.
This was forty years ago.
Sarong-wrapped they counted silver paper for the
dead.
Portraits of grandfathers
Hung always in the parlour.

Reading Tennyson, at six p.m. in pajamas,
Listening to down-pouring rain: 
The air ticks with gnats, black spiders fly,
Moths sweep out of our rooms
Where termites built their hills of eggs and queens
zoom in heat,
We wash our feet for bed,
Watch mother uncoil her snake hair,
Unbuckle the silver mesh around her waist,
Waiting for father pacing the sand as fishers pull
From the straits after monsoon. 

The air is still, silent
Like sleepers rocked in the pantun,
Sheltered by Malacca. 
This was forty years ago,
When nyonya married baba.

menjahit

antara banyak2 skill kemahiran hidup menjahit adalah skill paling aku x pandai. well, sewing is just not my thing the last time i use needle and thread was when i was in secondary school doing my kemahiran hidup class. after that no more.

so I've been having problem with my clothing here since they dont provide alteration service here in penneys(it's like a rm2 shop in msia but much better). I got fed up with having to fold my trousers everytime i use it and yesterday i decided to necro my sewing skill that has been dead long ago. the reason i dont send it to my tailor is because it is very expensive to alter the pants. cost me 10eu (around rm40) to alter my pants even for 1 inch and this pant that i do is not worth sending to the shop. it costs me 5 to buy it and 10 to alter it? pffft.

i didnt cut my pants as that will require me to use a machine to sew back. dont know what is it called, the end of the pants...you know what i mean. anyway, i decided to do a temporary alteration which require me to fold the pants inward and sew them.

beginning my operation alter sang hijau using google as my teacher.
measure, mark and pakai jarum peniti
the end result. not that beautiful but whod go to the bottom of the pant to observe this kind of thing?
how the inside part looks like. 
voila. sebelah siap sebelah belum

the beginning part was like a big obstacle for me as i need to learn about sewing from scratch. all the sewing term was like a complex jargon to me hahaha. had to learn the basic jahitan jelujur and jahitan aki to start and finish the sewing. the rest is just up to my creativity.

well, i actually undo all my work and start everything again after that because I used the wrong measurement. so back to sewing on my comfy sofa while watching Gotham series with my roomate ^^

pray

dont forget to pray to god. regardless of what we do in our life, god is the one that decides the outcome. remember, He is the best planner. if we're fated to succeed in something no matter what happen we will reach the end point and if He decides that one will fail, no matter how hard one struggles, the result will be the same. 

Nevertheless, He wont let all your hardwork go to waste. God will surely help you if you to succeed in your undertaking when you work for it. If you failed, He must have planned something else for you. It can be a test, or whatever but surely all your effort will not go to waste as long as you hold your faith in him. we can never know about our future, all we can do is plan and do our best. the rest we leave it to god.

thats why dont stress much about our future. we can plan, we can work for our plan but the end say will always belong to the god. we can only work on the current issue and not the future nor the past. 

remember folks, do our best, pray to the god, and have faith in Him no matter what happen.
