The landscape of Malaysia.

browsing through the art book i borrowed from the library,i fell in love with the kampung scenes of villages,huts on stilts,fishing boats and tall coconut trees.the book has a collection of watercolour paintings by Malaysian artists of the Malaysian watercolour organization. it makes me wanna stay in a

village following a slow,leisurely pace of life. im thinking of following zumba mates on a short trip to Taiping,kuala sepetang n gunung jerai so that i can capture beautiful scenic spots for me to paint like what the urban sketchers of kl are doing. i did a pencil sketch of the iconic sultan abdul samad moorish building as it is a heritage building built in 1901 but sad to know its falling to pieces as the dome and spire has collapsed.the building is historical n should be preserved as much as the colonial railway station.turn them into hotels so that its unique for travellers to stay like the E&O hotel in Penang n Raffles hotel in Singapore. today i baked another keto bread with coconut flour,6 eggs n corn oil with mixed fruit peel in it.its gluten free and much healthier than commercial white bread.Jun finished 2 banana cherry pies n a banana peanut butter loaf of bread in 2 weeks.i love baking as it rained heavily for 2 days and cool the air so im not hot and sticky.

Naughty kitty

Frisky cat is really naughty n curious.when a sun

bird flew around my pots of flowering plants,he jumped up and down trying to shoo it away.then while i was napping on the sofa,i left my bedroom door slightly open.the rascal squeezed thro the gap and entered the forbidden zone,rushed to the toilet where i saw wet cat pawprint ,smart to pull open the set of drawers and pulled out my socks and beaded jewels to play n i saw him lazing on my white bed sheet so i had to change bedsheets n mop the rooms.how to discipline a curious cat who wreaks havoc in the house.

Chinese Malay food

for lunch reheat frozen dim sum or bao.dinner i. used leftover nasi kunyit to cook tumeric rice seafood porridge.very smooth,spicy n tasty.i added clove,minced lemon grass,chicken stock to reboil porridge with fresh shrmps n the leftover grilled stingray i deboned the flesh,added salted egg mashed up,spring onion.a dash of thick coconut milk.its better than using beef bubur lambuk as the prawns cooked in shell is so sweet.created a malay dish with chinese ingredients next time i put salted preserved vegetable ham choy to add a kick and fried serunding.

Hard to find non fiction

its so hard to find some non fiction books. im looking for Naomi kleins book on the environmental crisis n Noam Chomskys books on language learning.no luck.i went to a bookshop and found Jared Diamonds book Upheaval on crisis and change but the price is too high.so im looking at second hand book shops.i found a gem yesterday a book published in 1997 called how the mind works by Steven Pinker but the book seller jack up price to rm100.too costly.thank goodness for john Brockmans of edge org the editor of the third culture who publish interviews n insights by top public intellectuals n thinkers in the Western world from scientists to artists.i get my book fix from these open source of knowledge as the cost of ignorance is regressive and oppresive. Naomi Kliens book this changes eveything the case of capitalism vs climate change really intrigues me how the neoliberal system and environmental destruction is corelated.i feel population explosion is harbinger of environmental damage as mechanisation of agricuture,use of chemicals to increase yields and sheer need for construction of cities to house massive population and adoption of scientific technology like nuclear plants cause damage to the environment.of course overconsumption of resources is part of the problem as there is enough for all our need but not all our greed as Gandhi advised. im dying of curiousity to read jared diamonds book Upheaval how to respond to crisis and changes in which certain international cooperation is crucial to combat environmental crisis like the global convention on pollution of marine waterways by international shipping. i wish there is a whats app group of book lovers i can go to to exchange books to read instead of buying them,incurring costs and lack of storage space im thinking of buying boxes to store books under my bed. im happy that popular book fair has some quirky translated Japanese fiction writers like mieko kawakamis Breast and Eggs.but im looking for southeast asian writers this year and im so disappointed no vietnamese or myanmar writers on sale locally. thinking on climate change,what is the effect of climate change on food security? did the global warming of seas cause explosion of algae bloom that infected our shellfish with neurotoxins.Is the increase in dengue cases due to explosion of mosquito breeding due to watmer temperature?will food production like rice,vegetable n animal husbandry be impacted by rise in flooding and seawater leaching into fertile land.will pollution reduce accessibility to fishing resource s.will we have to eat insect burgher soon? will cases of skin cancer increase when ozone layer is damaged

How is the defence against terrorism?

Look at how terrorists can breach the intelligence of Russia n commmit a massacre during a concert? How well prepared is our defences as the piracy attacks on Lahad Datu in Sabah shows the authorities underestimate the abilities of terrorist to attack the public It might range from sophisticated weapons to even ramming a vehicle into crowds.it could range from releasing toxic gases in subways like how the authorities in Singapore educates public to be alert to suspicious luggage left unattended in public areas to extra precaution at hotels n concert venues yes a few gunshots were fired in kl international airport terminal 1 and a person seriously injured and it was a personal feud but they miss the point.how the heck can public security be so lax that a man can enter the arrival hall with his gun undetected.An intelligent urban terrorist would be smart enough to do reconnaisance groundwork to pinpoint the breach in security in our international airport .so scary as any place of mass public traffic is susceptible as Bangkok lapse has demonstrated lax security. How is it possible for an israel agent able to buy guns from a Malaysian middleman? Didnt a citizen of North Korea get assasinated at the KLIA airport some years ago.where are security scanners at entrance n exit of KLIA or sniffer dogs on patrol for drugs or bombs congrats police for nabbing suspect with gun.its good as public feel safer without risk of mass killing as in the australian mall where 6 bystangers were killed by a mentally sick man.good also cops didnt fire in enclosed KLIA or more bystanders may be injured.nowadays where lives of innocent people are at risk,public security comes first. < b>
