Global Warming, Save the Planet - Save Water

-
No doubt that water is extremely important in our life. But, wasting them is totally NO NO NO!! Previously, I like to play with water while cleaning my car. I realize that this is very wrong. Imagine 20 years down the road, will I still be able to play with water while cleaning my car? Or can I even clean my car like how I use to do it?

Some country is already facing water issue. Not to mention the whole world, even some part of Malaysia is having water issue.

Each of us can contribute in minimizing water wastage. As for me, I think this is what we can do in minimizing water wastage:

  1. When taking bath, do not fill in your bath tub full with water and lie in it while relaxing. Indeed this is a good way to relax but it is actually wasting a lot of waters. Remember taking shower is better than taking bath (got different oh!)
  2. When brushing your teeth, don't let the pipe water flows out into the sink
  3. When cleaning your car, try to use pail instead of spraying your car with water
  4. In cleaning your clothing, make sure the washing machine has reach its capacity. If you have only 2 cloth, why bother to use washing machine???
  5. If there is any water leakage in your home, remember to get it fix and not just make don't know. This can also save your water bills
  6. Do not flush the toilet unnecessary. Best is to have to types of flushing installed in your toilet (I know, not many have this in their home)
  7. Do not use running water from the tab to thaw meat or frozen food. This is extremely wasting!
  8. Collect rain water. This can be use to water the plants or washing your car

Remember, every drop of water is PRECIOUS!

If each of us still 'sleeping' rather than play a part in conserving water, rivers or 'sungai' may not exist anymore during our grand-children time.

It's good that you have posted a blog on this matter. Water shortage is a growing concern worldwide. Southern California is also facing it. Hence it's very important to spread awareness about it. To add to your tips, here are some more: http://www.bewaterwise.com/tips01.html which you might find useful. Keep the initiative rolling!

The First Confession - St. Mark's Church, Batu Kawa

Last Sunday is BF day of signing the "Book of Life" (I think that's what they call it). From the time table list, it is known as the "First Confession" day... Well, I translate directly the meaning since it's in BM. Hehehe... We arrived there at around 9am. Not many people there that time but there are people setting up stall to sell some food after the church service. BF told me that he had not had any breakfast yet and I nag him. Whahahaha! I had to sit separately from BF and dad since I'm not the godfather. Church service starts at 9.30pm. While waiting for the mass, I took pictures all around the church . Are they dreaming?? I took some picture when they signed the book. Well, I'm the only photographer that day. One thing different between St. Mark and my church is that during this kind of occasion is that in my church, there will be more than 1 photographers going all round taking photos or filming the whole occasion. I guess Father Lim like

Cozy Cafe, Jalan Song

Feeling hungry for something different on lunch time? Another place you can think of will be this restaurant - The Cozy Cafe. It is opposite One TJ with a black signboard. The environment is indeed cozy and warmth. Taste wise not bad but I can say that the service is a little weird. We order tea and they only permitted to give us 2 cup. Hhmmmm, I thought that we can just ask them to refill the pot wit hot water and share the tea amongst us. Guess this is how they earn more - limiting the number of sharing per tea pot. Oh well, got to just follow their rules. And this is what we ordered - sharing portion between a few of us. After all, ladies are small eaters. Mushroom soup with garlic bread Fish and chips Spaghetti Carbonara with hot dogs  Enjoy your lunch yea...

'Ma Li Chai'/'Mani Chai', also known as Cangkuk Manis

While googling for news about 'malichai', it turns out that I hardly get anything that I am looking for, so this triggers me to write something about this local vegetables that I believe, can only be found in Sarawak. 'Mali chai' is easily planted and grow quite fast as well. In fact, this is the only vegetables that I planted and it didn't fail on me! With its stick, just plant it on the ground and leave the rain and sun to takes care of the rest. Hahaha... 'Mali chai' is a word in hokkien that mostly use in Kuching. 'Chai' means vegetables. Hakka people called it 'su choi'. Well, this vege doesn't seems to have an English name. If we are to translate from BM to English, it definitely sounds weird - Sweet Hook. I think anyone who hear 'sweet hook' will not be keen to try it out.. So, how do 'mali chai' looks like? I've snap the photos of this vegetables at my garden. Actually, I've just harvest the vegetables few
