I have give most of my colleagues to taste slices of my raw pumpkin. They say it taste sweet, with no bitter residue. Unlike taste if young papaya.

My naughty boy for today. Making his Mommy walk like "Nenek kebayan"

My naughty boy, Dell. He climbed on my back this morning just because I ignore him and focus on my plants. He likes to make me walk like witch or "nenek kebayan".

 Collage of Dell disturbing me last time while I was gardening.

 Picture of Dell making friends under a car.

Kombucha tea today for my health

Today I manage to get a jar of kombucha tea from a kind hearted girlfriend. It was home made by her. I have tried earlier last 2 weeks during a combo of my PMS and PMT. And it does give fast effect and relieved. Now I am trying to consume this kombucha tea in regular  basis. The brand is T4 Life😉

Details on kombucha tea:

Kombucha is a fermented beverage of black tea and sugar (from various sources including cane sugar, fruit or honey) that’s used as a functional food. It contains a colony of bacteria and yeast that are responsible for initiating the fermentation process once combined with sugar. After being fermented, kombucha becomes carbonated and contains vinegar, b-vitamins, enzymes, probiotics and a high concentration of acid (acetic, gluconic and lactic), which are tied with the following effects:

  - Improved Digestion
  - Weight Loss
  - Increased Energy
  - Cleansing and Detoxification
  - Immune Support
  - Reduced Joint Pain
  - Cancer Prevention

The sugar-tea solution is fermented by bacteria and yeast commonly known as a "SCOBY”(symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast). Although it’s usually made with black tea, kombucha can also be made with green tea too.

Till then,  have a joyful and safe time spending holiday with conjuction of Sultan Johor's birthday today. Daulat Tuanku😉

Using OTG cable to access pendrive from your phone

There are many ways to work on the move. One of it is by using OTG (On-The-Go) cable. This OTG cable enables you to access content in your pendrive directl without need to use a laptop as tranfer/view medium.

This is what it looks like when the OTG cable with pendrive is connected to the phone

Content of my pendrive

This is tested using Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace where the market price is RM 399 only. If this low budget phone can access pendrive using OTG cable, would be a question if your phone price more than RM 500 unable to do so.

Till then, be safe while working and traveling.

Charity work this weekend with hardworking undergraduates

It was weekend in Johor. I have promised one of my friend to get manpower/volunteer to assist her tidying her lawn/garden/yard since last weekend. And only manage to make it happen this weekend.

White senduduk tree. This tree can be used to help counter people who is infected by black magc such as "santau" and etc

I make sure my volunteer get some wages plus food and drinks provided by my client. Also my client have to provide necessary equipment for the cleaning activities such as scythes, cutters, trimmers, chain saw, hand gloves and etc..

We just manage to work for 2 hours only as the weather didn't permit us to work longer. We have to pause after shifting the large vases as it started to rain heavily with thunder. And continue after it is left drizzling.

I offer my service to this lovely lady cause I do know how it feels when doing gardening activity alone. Especially for lady. It is not an easy task. Some more, most of the things is heavier than 5 kg. Therefore, an assistant from a male is required to ease the workload burden at least once a week. Like what I do today for her.

For those who are interested to get cleaning services for tmheir lawn/garden/yard, can contact me directly for further details
