How to Choose a Good Durian / 6 Steps to Choosing A Good Durian  


First of all, what is a good d! urian? For us, a good durian is one that is ripe, fresh and free from larvae/worms. However, a durian with worm doesn't mean it is not good because it can still be delicious. 


So how do you know if a durian is good or fresh? 


Here are some steps you can try when looking for a good durian: 


1.        Look at the tip, if it is too dry means it is no longer fresh. A little dry is okay. 
2.        ! Look at the bottom, if it is crack it may be over-ripe or not so fresh. But it still can be delicious.  
3.        Smell the durian, if there is a strong smell, it is most likely good. If there is no smell, it is probably not ripe.  
4.        Use your fingernails to scratch the durian, if it sounds hollow it is likely to be a good one. 
5.        Pu! t the durian close to your ear, shake it and listen carefully, if there is a 'moving' sound, it is likely to be good. 
6.        Look for holes around the durian, if there is tiny hole somewhere, there is likely to be a worm (larva of an insect) that has burrow into it. 
7.        Yes, there is actually a 7th step, but it's not going to be useful. If you have the chance to open the durian, open it and taste it.    


Way! s Of Opening A Durian 


There are few ways to open the durian. Some might find opening a durian just too difficult, so I'll list other methods in case you want to try another way.
  1.        Use a short knife, one that is slightly bigger than the standard swiss army knife- most durian farmers use this.  
2.        Use a big knife, the one for chopping meat - ladies love to use this. 
3.        Use bare hands - works well for some over-ripe durians. 
4.        Use a special durian opener, which is made of wood. Not exactly sure where you can find this tool.

 Selamat Makan Durian semua...kalau panas minum air dalam kulitnya ya...

Can water be affected by our words?

Somebody email me this and I find it kinda interesting. So I tot why not share it with you guys.

 
Can water be affected by our words?


Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, believes so.

And he has proof.


Dr. Emoto took water droplets, exposed them to various words, music, and environments, and froze them for three hours. He then examined the crystal formations under a dark field microscope. And he took photographs.


The results were totally mind-blowing.


Here's a photo of ordinary water without any prayer spoken over it. The molecular structure is in disarray.
 
The photo below is water after the prayer was said. It's simply breathtaking. (I now have a great respect for praying before meals! More on this later.)


 

Dr. Emoto also exposed water to Heavy Metal music. Here's how it looks like. Looks sad if you ask me.

Here's water exposed to classical music and folk dance music. Looks much better, right?

Next, Dr. Emoto stuck a piece of paper with these words: "You make me sick. I will kill you." Here's how the frozen water droplets looks like under the microscope…

Below is how water looked like with the words "Love" over it. The difference is amazing.

This is Polluted water…

This is water from Lourdes , France . Utterly beautiful, right?

Wait A Minute— Aren't You Made Up Of Water?

Yes! 72% of your body is made up of water.

Imagine how your words affect your own body. When you say, "I'm a failure," or "I'm hopeless," or "I won't get well," imagine how these words weaken your health.



Make a choice to say the best words out there. Say often, "I'm wonderful," and "I'm beautiful,".



It's not only water.



Dr. Emoto also experimented with cooked rice. He placed one cup of cooked rice in two airtight jars. On one jar, he wrote, "I love you," and on the other, "You fool." Everyday for 30 days, Dr. Emoto would say these words to each jar of rice.



After 30 days, the "I love you" rice was still white. But the "You fool" rice was so rotten, it was black. How can you explain this?
 

Just as a side note: When I was a child, my mother taught me to pray before meals. Now I realize it wasn't just a nice thing to do. When I pray over my meal, I know a material transformation takes place in the molecular level of the food that I pray for. I say, "Be blessed," to the water and food on the table—and I expect it to be blessed.

Yeah – that's why we always wish others well on birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, festivals, examination days, etc…. BE BLESSED, everybody!!!

It's so easy to please a kid

belikan dia sebotol air buih, dia dah gembira.

Bukan macam orang dewasa yang kadang-kadang complicated benar perangainya.

3 dalam 1 dentist appoinment

Last Saturday I ada appoinment dengan dentist. Janji dengan dentist pukul 10 pagi.

Last-last pukul 11 pagi baru sampai kat dentist sampai klinik gigi calllah tanya jadi ke appoinment. Lambat pun sebab Adik ada taekwondo class on Saturday. Lupalah pulak masa buat dentist appoinment tu.

Alang-alang dah sampai dentistkan so suruh doktor check sekali gigi anak dara dua beradik tu.

Adik kena tampal gigi geraham dia and Kakak just buat scaling and cleaning jer.

Adik tengah tampal gigi. Bagus betul anak dara dua orang ni, relax jer. Kalau anak jantan I tu mau dah buat perangai.

Sabar menanti turn I pulak. Kasi kawtim budak-budak ni dulu baru turn Mama dia pulak sebab Mama punya procedure lama.

I kena tampal gigi yang depan geraham bongsu tu sebab balance geraham bongsu tu dah tolak geraham depan sampai cataris. So doktor kena patahkan sikit bahagian yang rosak tu then baru tampal. Lama tu....

Habis buat tampal menampal tu, sambung buat scaling and cleaning.

Ngilu giler tu....tahan jer sakit + ngilu.

Resultsnya selepas prosedur-prosedur diatas ya...seganlah nak senyum luas-luas =P



















Doktor bagi gift ni semua. Ni macam nak suruh gigi dengan gigih....gosok gigi ya jangan tak gosok.

Mama, Adik nak beli toilet

Beria-ia dia semalam kata nak beli toilet. I tak faham lagi masa tu toilet apa. Siap dia bukak toilet mandi I tunjuk jamban tu.

Pastu dia duk repeat selagi boleh macam broken record nak ajak mama ayah dia pergi One Utama pergi beli.

Pastu bila tanya kedai mana dia tak tau tapi dia kata nanti dia tunjuk. Rupanya kedai depan Best kat new wing One Utama tu.

ni lah jambannya ya tuan-tuan dan puan-puan.

Isi air kat dalam dia so bila bukak lid dia nanti air terpancut.

Pastu ayahnya duk melayan anaknya membeli apa ntah lagi mainannya.

Benda hitam goey-goey..lembik-lembik. Bila letak kat tangan macam jelly jer lembiknya...

yaaaa...itu ayah dia yang melayannya ya

ni ha nama kedainya Windancer.

Macam-macam mak nenek mainan ada kat kedai ni. So kepada ibu bapa silalah cautious bila lalu depan kedai ini ya sebab ditakuti anak anda akan obsess bila lalu sini.

Gambar ni saja jer ambik. Kedai depan Windancer tu ler....comel jerkan.

England kalah tu malam tadi :'(

Bersiaran secara langsung

Dari gadget baru.

Semangat sikit nak berblogging kalau tak lappy lama tu lembab giler, kerjanya asyik hang jer.

Lappy lama dah wakaf kat budak-budak tu buat main game dengan tengok youtube spongebob derang =)

 

Benda barukan ...so jakun sikit ;)

Tengok gambar pun boleh terliur ker?

Masa tengah arrange folder dalam my external hard drive, terjumpa gambar-gambar ni dalam folder.

:'(

Terliur tengok burger and waffle A&W. Susahnya nak hilangkan craving makan ni.

I wash, clean and cook (cook tu sebab terpaksa sebab orang lain nak makan dalam rumah ni) to get my mind off food. Kalau tak rasa nak mengunyah jer walaupun tak lapar. I guess bad habits are hard to get rid off. Dahlah timbang berat recently naik 3 kg :'(

How to get ridlah...naik senang. Nak turun bercinta.

Starting from minggu depan kena puasa ni. Puasa ganti pun tak buat-buat lagi ni. Suka buat last-last minutekan...tak serik-serik tu. Tiap-tiap tahun kata nak bayar puasa ganti awal tapi dah dekat-dekat jugak baru nak ganti.

I hate you A&W....alamak rasa nak makan waffles lah...benci tau

Sembang malam-malam

Budak ni memang suka tiap-tiap malam sebelum tido baring celah kelengkang Mama dia. Sambil baring mulut dia non-stop bercakap macam burung murai. Kadang-kadang Mama dia dah tertido dia still lagi non-stop bercakap. Sampaikan Mama dia kena jerkah dia suruh stop bercakap barulah dia tido kalau tak sampai pagilah agaknya dia menceceh.

The night before she was pestering me to be a teacher at her school. Beria-ia dia suruh Mama dia jadi cikgu bahasa Inggeris. Alahai anak...kalau Mama nak jadi guru, dari dulu lagi Mama tak tolak tawaran masuk Maktab Perguruan tu tapi Mama tak minat mengajarlah Sayang. Keciwa jugaklah Atok sebab Mama tolak offer Maktab Perguruan tu.

Tapi semua ada hikmah kalau tak tak dapatlah Mama belajar kat US dulu.

Ni ha..gambar budak busyuk tu malam tadi.

Manja terlebih.

Robek rambut depan kena gunting dengan Bibik. Isykk suka-suka jer potong rambut Adikkan. Mama baru ingat nak bawak kedai suh cina kedai gunting rambut tu trimkan.

Sabar jerlah.

Friday dahkan....pastu tiba-tiba dah Isnin balik....ohh..

Especially dedicated for my ex-housemate

14-15 years back, I used to stay in an apartment this girl. Somehow another an image of her prancing around in her shorts and t-shirt still stuck in my mind.

We used to hangout together. Lepak kat tangga luar apartment kitaorang dalam gelap-gelap dalam cold weather or the hot summer nite. Lepak berdua tapi kadang-kadang adalah mat pakistan yang duduk satu blok dengan kitaorang (most of the tenant yang duduk at our apartment block is from our uni too) duduk mengacau menakutkan kita orang dengan cerita-cerita hantu.

Or when we're bored lepaking berdua, we'll go and kacau apartment orang lain especially apartment atas yang penuh dengan Malaysian girls jugak or kalau tak pun kacau rumah Sepet (see sebelum cerita Sepet dah keluar, kitaorang dah kenal siapa Sepet =) )

Tapi aktiviti harian yang mesti tak lepas punyalah, kira macam aktiviti wajib adalah melepak di library. Jangan salah sangka disitu...kami bukan ulat buku. Study pun last minit jer...exam pukul 8 pagi, 4 subuh duk pegang buku lagi menghafal. Aktiviti dilibrary adalah mengecop komputer library sebab nak bertenet kat IRC...hahahaha. Hari-hari ok....apa nak jadilah. Those were the days, sanggup tu berebut PC dengan orang. Alah semua sama jer gi computer lab atau library sebab nak tenet, bukan nak buat assignment pun.Channel kampung tu bahan makanan harianlah. Hemm...Seluar babe...Seluar ;)

Melepak kat cafe sampai pagi-pagi buta tu memang aktiviti mingguan jugak.. sedapnya kopi kat Kettlekan. Coffee addict sungguh. Ehh apasal kita tak pernah pergi Hooters ehh...ohh tak ada orang nak bawak.

Sejuk-sejuk kejung pukul 12 tengah malam pun sanggup keluar sebab nak pergi tengok wayang USD1. Sanggup sungguh tu. Kalau shopping sampai tak sedar diri...asyik-asyik Penn Square Mall. Rasanya masa kitaorang balik Malaysia, berkotak-kotak ship balik sebab membeli tak hingat dunia.

Gi travel sama-sama sampaikan sampai ke St Louise sehelai sepinggang and tido dalam kereta jer sejuk-sejuk giler. Kalau boleh repeat time tu balik...aku sanggup wehh.

Anyway, all I want to say is....HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!! (You know who you are). You're the best housemate ever!

Dia tanya tak rindu kat aku ker?

Of course rindu....rindu nak bergossip + mengumpat lite-lite

Kalau dah duduk berdua sah-sahlah berejam. Macam-macam session aada besides makan sessionkan.

Reen, go get the hitam gagah perkasa itu ;)

Aku restukan...hahaha....

Randomness

Pagi tadi on the way to Dharoos....yup my office is near Dharoos the once famous Mamak in PJ. Tapi nampaknya zaman kegemilangan Dharoos telah lama berlalu, macam England jugak (tetiba termasuk pasal World Cup...what to do WC fever). Dulu everyday mesti pergi Dharoos sebab my son macam addicted makan roti canai kat kedai tu sampai tak payah cakap dah nak order apa. Mamak tu nampak jer muka kami dia terus orderkan =)

Melencong dah.....on the way to Dharoos saw this pokok bunga Jasmine (lama duk fikir apa nama pokok ni dalam BM. Dah tengahari baru teringat...pokok bunga melurkan). Masa I sekolah rendah dulu, rumah my neighbour ada sepohon pokok bunga melur ni. Orang India memang suka tanam pokok melur kan. Bila lalu tepi pokok bunga tu sure wangi jer....nostalgia pohon bunga melurlah pulak. Teringatlah pulak nenek India sebelah rumah tu, dah meninggal agaknya sebab dulu pun dah tuakan.

cantik bunga melur

Pagi semalam lalu tepi signboard ni. Ternampak alamat website untuk jualan barang2 branded. So snaplah photo sebab tak sempat nak tulis alamat websitenya.

Senang betul sekarang...apa-apa snap gambar. Sekali nak tengok balik alamat websitenya...blurlah pulak gambar. Ayoyo....

Apa gambar boyfriend I buat kat sini nih.... =P

Sekali tengok macam gayboy pun ada mamat ni.....

Nak keluar lunch ler dengan my bff hari ni....windu oooo.....gossip session *on*

School holiday getaway

Banyaklah getawaynya....pergi Gambang Waterpark saja bawak budak-budak jalan during their school holiday. Itu pun balik hari sebab tak book awal-awal tempat tinggal.

So random pictures ok darlings

Diakhiri dengan ikan patin masak tempoyak. R&R Temerloh jugak yang sedap.
