A six-hours’ trek through jungle trails ..am I ready for the task ?...I hope so. What I do now is to do my physical exercises so that I am fit to go on that six-hours trek....

I know to go to  Kampung Semban trail is not as what you see in the photos here...What you see here is the Sama Jaya Nature Reserve, near Tabuan Jaya  in Kuching.Entrance is RM0.50 per person. It's quite a nice place to exercise.

 

 

There were jogging tracks through the forest. It was a novelty for me to exercise amidst the forest setting and the trees provided shade.Yesterday ,the trail which I took was 1.6 km long, which took me about 10 minutes to complete. There was another shorter trail which was 1 km in length. The short trail was quite slippery yesterday after a downpour.

The Samajaya Forest Park is a mini-forest reserve at Tabuan Jaya - a large residential neighbourhood in Kuching. Covering an area of 18 hectares, the Park is very popular for jogging and other recreational activities.

LRT @ Rush Hour........

 

Taking LRT at rush hour is no fun at all. You are being squeezed like sardines, male and female alike, in a coach which smells of stale air. It is in fact downright unhygienic since if someone with flu sneezes in the coach, most of the passengers in that coach would probably be infected with the same virus. It is also very scary especially to the ladies, since even if you feel someone else is groping you, you can’t even move to avoid and fence off the move.

Ayam Penyet.

Photo credit to my daughter..taken with her Lumix LX3.

This is Nasi Ayam Penyet.It's an Indonesian dish or Indonesia origin cuisine.It is very popular among our West Malaysian friends who visited Kuching and the word is 'Must Try'.

For me basically,its just a white rice with chicken but the spiciness of the sauce or sambal in malay that taste the difference.The food didn't sound delicious to me(especially at this golden age )..you know what i mean don't you ? hahaha..I love vegetable & fruits.Anyway, do drop by and try for yourself ..don't be surprise you will say ' I love the sambal (the sauce) '.By the way you also can view my daughter blog about this 'Ayam Penyet' click HERE

ABC Wednesday letter P is for PISANG.

More interesting words from letter P by visit this site ABC-WED

PISANG literally meaning BANANAS in MALAY or in MALAYSIA.

PISANG is healthy fruits.

Pisang contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A Pisang gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two pisang/ bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the pisang/ banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

So what do you think of his phrase:)

"PISANG or BANANA a day keeps the Doctor away".

City Daily Photo-Kenyalang Step's.

Kenyalang Steps’ Sarawak has developed its own version of the ever popular Indonesian line dance, the Poco Poco.

‘Kenyalang Steps’ was developed by the Sarawak Physical Education and Recreation Association.

“The Poco Poco line dance originating from the Minhasa people of Sulawesi has been a very popular group exercise among the people in the state since its introduction about two years ago.

Originates from Indonesia. So Sarawak want to have something which is truly Sarawakian in nature and which can be enjoyed by every race in the state.

The Kenyalang Steps incorporated steps from popular dances of the state’s various ethnic communities performed to a similar fusion of tunes.

“Thus, we will have the Orang Ulu Sape (lute) music to be complemented by the ‘Taboh’ (traditional music) of the Ibans, the Bidayuh, Melanau and the Chinese drum beat for instance.

Picture below show a group of ladies perform kenyalang steps (poco-poco Sarawak version)

.

I check you tube and found videos of Poco-Poco dance.(Indonesia Version)

Foot Reflexology@My new home-Desa Ilmu.

One of the best things in life is massage. It’s reviving to have a deep tissue rub down that relieves tension in every muscle, loosening each of them from the shoulders all the way to the toes. By the time the session is over all the stress that was there before is now magically gone.
There are two parts of the body that endure the most during the day - The feet. Constantly having the weight of the body upon them as they take it where it needs to go. Having a foot massage can help to take some of the pain away. Even more impressive, it may help you to maintain optimal health.

Reflexology is closer to accupressure than massage.Whenever i hear someone say"Foot massage" I figure that is what I am going to get.

On second month of year 2008 we move to our new house not far from UNIMAS(University Malaysia Sarawak).My daughter is a tutor with unimas .I am planning to make a small landscape at open patio near to car porch .The landscape will have a walkway with foot reflexology.I hope my landscape project will be dream come true & I'm now started to look for second hand DIY landscape magazine which i can get easily from sunday market.

Above is the picture of my new home to be (not mean to show off) but just look at the price of the housing to-day in Kuching particularly at Kota Samarahan housing project booming very fast.

So be prepared for the PRICE increase in the year 2008 .Some Towkay in Kuching says Made in China goods will also be increase sharply due Chinese need to export quality control goods only.

Happy New Year.

The Wondrous Benefits of Soy Protien.

All of us know that soyabean drink provides good protein to our body... but many of us doesn't know that there are certain days we should avoid.
Soyabean drinks are best consume on hot sunny days where the sun is burning and glaring. The soya milk will gives lots of nutrients to the body, as the body is able to absorb the protein well.
However, Avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy or raining. Taking the drink in these weathers, the body will not be able to take in the protein thus will result in a disease called "GOUT" or "high acidic urine" due to the high protein residue in the body, after a long run.
This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it will only be in control when you control your food intake of proteins and medications. The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have taken to cause the pain. Food like soya beans, ikan bilis, broccoli, spinach, peanuts, animal organs etc will have to be avoided to prevent the pain from attacking.

The Wondrous Benefits of Soy Protein
Soy protein is emerging as one of the great alternative protein sources for human consumption. Health experts are all excited about how soy protein can change the face of nutrition. What’s all the rage? Here are some great reasons to get with soy protein.Soy Protein is Plant ProteinSoy beans contain complete protein and have one of the best protein digestibilities among all protein sources. Soy beans also contain little or no fat and have virtually no cholesterol. Lactose intolerant ones will be pleased to know that soy beans contain no lactose.Being a plant protein, soy is free from steroids and antibiotics animal protein contains. It is also free from the parasites that contaminate some of these products. They also contain none of the diseases one can contract from mean sources such as Mad Cow Disease, and Foot and Mouth Disease.Vegetarians love this bean as it provides a comparable – if not better – source of protein as compared to its animal counterpart. It provides a protein that is better and easier to digest and is comparable to most protein supplements.Soy Beans are Very VersatileSoy beans are very versatile. Various cuisines, especially Asian ones recognize the value of the humble soy bean. A variety of naturally yummy delicacies are all soy based: tofu, soy pudding, Soya milk, and meat substitutes – not to mention condiments such as soy sauce, and hoi sin sauce.To counter the problem of world hunger, the growing of soybeans has been suggested. Not only are soybeans easy to grow and harvest, they will grow pretty much anywhere and produces much in a little time. There have been farmers reported to have replaced their entire crop line with soy bean plants. These hardy little plants produce much per harvest, and, as said earlier, can grow in even the most trying terrain.The Great SubstituteSoy is low in fat and can be used to substitute most protein sources. When cooking, you may use soy substitutes instead of flour for a low fat alternative. This makes it a great protein source for those that are looking to lose weight without compromising their protein requirements.Bodybuilders are considering how this can make their jobs a lot easier. Without the fat and with all the protein goodness – easily digestible at that – bodybuilding has just received a great blessing of a food.Although these bodybuilders are currently debating how soy can be a help to bodybuilders, it doesn’t take away anything from what soy can contribute to the overall health of a person.It is very advisable to stick to natural protein rather than processes protein if possible, as processed foods typically have some risk attached to them. The best use of this food can be attributed to how it perfectly fits into anyone’s low-fat, high-protein diet.Soy products can be incorporated into shakes and drinks. And being lactose-free, lactose intolerant people will still be able to get their milkshake fix without having to suffer so.Soy products are also a great source of other nutrients such as saponins, isoflavones, and phytosterol. Saponins help support a healthy immune system. It also combines with cholesterol to avoid increased absorption of cholesterol in the body. Phytosterols also help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body in the same way saponins do.Isoflavones are powerful antioxidants and prevent the effects of free radicals in the body. They prevent many of the signs of aging and have been known to help prevent cancer. This alone makes soy a miracle protein source in its own right.Isoflavones, along with vitamins A,C, and E are among the front liners in the fight against such disease – they also counter the effects of pollution, and stress.How Much is Too MuchUnlike other protein sources, it is pretty safe to consume a wide amount of soy products. While allergies to soy products exist, cases are few and far between. When changing to a soy diet, however, it would be best to consult your physician or your nutritionist. Ask specifically if the soy interferes with any prescription drugs you are taking.Soy can be great blessing for people who are looking for a great source of protein that does not entail the side effects of most of the other sources. It would be advisable for one to explore how it can improve one’s diet.
