My misai kucing drink

This is taken on the noon of 29 August 2023. Where one of lecturer from Acoustic lab asking me what is the plant that have lots of blooming flower. Which I explained to him it is misai kucing (cat whisker's) tree. 

It is good for those who have kidney stones issue and UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). As for me, I drink it at least once a week for detox purpose.

The look of the made drink. Which I only add 3 leaves and 1 flower. Then add hot water. Drink it after it becomes warm.

The look of the harvested leaves and flower. 

My other drink. That consists of 3 unit of bunga telang, 1 pink rose flower and half daun salam (bay leaf).

Regardless, check with your medical doctor before trying. Especially if you're under prescribed medication. Still it is a good alternative herbs for me.

Until then, have fun in drinking a good misai kucing drink for your health.

Song C'est La Vie by B*Witched

It was released in 1998. I was reminded this song when telling my friend last 14 August 2023 on the story of fox with 3 piglets (highlighted lyrics in blue colour). He never heard of this folktale before. Maybe because he is Malaysian and this is England folktale. 

Lyrics [1]:

… Oh-oh, hey, hey

Oh-oh, oh-oh

… I say, hey boy, sittin' in your tree

Mummy always wants you to come for tea (oh-oh)

Don't be shy, straighten up your tie

Get down from your treehouse, sittin' in the sky (oh-oh)

… I wanna know just what to do

Is it very big? Is there room for two? (oh-oh)

I got a house with windows and doors

I'll show you mine, if you show me yours

… Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey

Let the fun begin, hey

I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey

I'll huff, I'll puff

I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away

… Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me (say you will)

C'est la vie

… Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me (get a life!)

C'est la vie

… Do you play with the girls, play with the boys?

Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys? (oh-oh)

We can talk, we can sing

I'll be the queen and you'll be the king (oh-oh)

… Hey boy, in your tree

Throw down your ladder, make a room for me (oh-oh)

I got a house with windows and doors

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

… Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey

Let the fun begin, hey

I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey

I'll huff, I'll puff

I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away

… Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me (say you will, yeah)

C'est la vie

… Say you will, say you won't (oh, say you will)

Say you'll do what I don't (say you will)

Say you're true, say to me (what are you like?)

C'est la vie

… Hey, hey

Na-na-na, hey

Na-na-na, oh

Na-na-na, hey

Hey-hey-hey-hey

… Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't (say you will)

Say you're true, say to me

Wanna say, c'est la vie

… Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me (say you will)

(Fight like me dad as well) C'est la vie

… Na-na-na, hey

Na-na-na, oh (c'est la vie)

Na-na-na, hey

Hey-hey-hey-hey (c'est la vie)
