Making new batch of hair serum

This is taken on the noon of 22 April 2024. Where I make new batch of hair serum. 

The look of harvested 97 unit of bunga telang biru (blue butterfly pea flowers) and other self grown ingredients.

The look of fresh self grown ingredients after cleaning up process.

The look of mixing up ingredients. After 30 minutes steep in 60 degrees Celsius. 

I am able to get total of 438 ml of mixture. Left to do step 5 of my process flow after this.

I do get request to learn to do this product. Well, I do my research and development for this product. Which means can just buy the finished product from me later.

Until then, have fun in using your self grown ingredients for your hair serum.

Experimenting with rolled oats

This is taken last 19 April 2024. Where I finally found rolled oats in one supermarket near my residential area. Normally only able to find instant oat and quick oat in the nearest mini market. The reason rolled oats is being bought as I wanted to start making incorporating overnight oats for my daily routine. 

From the packaging, rolled oats take longest time to be cooked. That is 5 minutes. 

Quick oat takes 2 minutes to cook.

Instant oat only need to add hot water.

Can choose which ever suits your needs.

Suggested recipe is 5 tablespoon of rolled oats with 240 ml milk.

The brown part is brown sugar. I add 1/4 teaspoon for taste.

Tested in the evening of 19 April 2024 around 8 pm. Half from recipes on the packaging. That is 32 gm rolled oat with 17.5 gm powder milk and 100 ml water. Steam for 15 minutes. And I end up feel full until 10 am the next day. Around 14 hours time. For me it is quite and achievement. 

As I easily feel hungry again 2 hours after eating 50 gm of rice with sambal goreng the next evening.

I have started eating oat since in 20s. As Nestum is not fulfilling enough for my stomach. So I have to eat oat to keep my stomach at peace. 

Hopefully I will be able to be consistent with my overnight oats aim. Since during few days of the month, my stomach process much faster than usual processing time. Which action is needed to address such issue.
Until then, have fun in trying out overnight oats.

The look of fruit and flowers to my cherry barbados plant

This is taken on the morning of 22 April 2024. Where I noticed there is a lot more fruit and flowers on my cherry Barbados plant.

Attempt to open Panasonic EH-NA30 hair dryer for cleaning

This is taken on the evening of 30 September 2023. I think I need to try size T10 to T14. Since T15 is too big.

Which I finally able to opened it well. But have to put the repair work on hold. To give priority to other works. At least now I am able to open the hair dryer. Can check internally later when have time. Just my own way in spending time learning.

Until then, have fun in getting the correct tools to open your hair dryer.

The look of fruit bud to my soursop tree

This is taken in the evening of 18 March 2024. Where I noticed a fully formed fruit bud to my soursop tree.

The look of harvested pisang raja (banana) fruits

This is taken on the morning of 16 April 2024. Finally able to harvest the yellowing pisang raja (banana) fruits. Able to get 4 sisir/sikat (comb) of pisang raja (banana) fruits. First sisir/sikat (comb) contains of 10 unit pisang raja (banana) fruits. Second sisir/sikat (comb) contains of 9 unit pisang raja (banana) fruits. Third sisir/sikat (comb) contains of 9 unit pisang raja (banana) fruits. Fourth sisir/sikat (comb) contains of 9 unit pisang raja (banana) fruits.

The close up look of the fallen off ripe yellow pisang raja (banana) fruit.

One of my regular customer immediately asked me if I am selling the pisang raja (banana) fruits. After sharing the picture. Since early this year she have missed out the one harvested last 16 January 2024 (first harvest of pisang raja (banana) fruits in year 2024). I have informed her I can only check the price after weighing it once I am back home in the evening to confirmed the selling price including delivery.

1 unit pisang raja (banana) fruit from second sisir/sikat (comb) weigh 174.7 gm. And it does taste sweet and refreshing when eaten during end of my fasting that day.

For this pisang raja (banana) plant, I have long reduced the fertilizer dosage and frequency. Since the earlier ones size is too big and heavy. My customer prefer moderate size like pisang berangan (banana) size. Basically bigger size does not matter here. Plus, when it is bigger it is heavier. Quantity also matters. Lesson learned after 5 years planting it. Since January 2019 [2]. Regardless, I am grateful to have the opportunity to self plant and taste this tasty pisang raja (banana) fruits. And thankful to one of gardening members to sell the offspring to me last 2019. Since it is fallen under rare category already that time. I also have never encountered it in fruit stalls and shops.

Normally, it is best suggested to replant the banana plant to other places after each year or harvest. However, seems like my method in using self made compost fertilizer works well to let the soil recover after each year of harvest. Still a lot to learn.

Until then, be safe while harvesting your planted pisang raja (banana) fruits.

Why those who have cats better stay in landed home

This is based on conversation last 26 September 2023. Where one of lecturer shared her experience burying her dead cat in the faculty. She is staying in apartment in Permas Jaya area. Basically she have to drive 32 km to bury her dead cat in faculty.

From my own experience who live in landed home, I have no issue. As I do let the land area beside my house as it is and planted various plants. So when there is a dead stray cat or the one under my care died, I simply dig out the land area and buried them. Have done so during covid19 time. I do feel blessed to be able to stay in landed home.

Basically, this is the things that is normally not considered at all when buying a house. Well, now I do know I have to put it into list of consideration if I bought new ones.

Until then, have fun surveying good home for your needs.

My review on rempah soto Nur Ain

This is taken on the morning of 8 September 2023. Have been using this rempah soto Nur Ain for more than 6 months. And it is proven gives tasty outcome. Also it did not makes my throat dry after consumption. Unlike other soup spices (rempah soup) in the market.

My electric hair comb for hair styling

This is taken on the evening of 22 September 2023. Where I used my electric hair comb to neatly straighten my hair.

The look of the front part. What I like for this electric hair comb is the heating element was covered. So my hair also did not touch the heating element directly. Unlike when using flat iron. Also the ability of the bottom cord to swivel 360 degrees when used. I choose this type as the one with bristles tend to have boar fur in it. So, I prefer to be safe than sorry. 

The back top part is hot after usage. So better to leave it cool off before pack it up.

Best syrup cordial for me

This is taken on the noon of 28 September 2023. Where I opened my 2 liter syrup cordial for drink.

Why I like to write

This is written on the noon of 9 June 2023. After I remember one of my friends asked why I am able to write so much. I replied as I love to talk. And since my cat is unable to understand me, I resort to writing. Which is a win-win situation. Where I get to keep a record of what I want to talk about. And then able to vent out what I want to talk about. It is just rambling. So it is only worth it for me only. As for my cat, she loves being petted more than listening to me. In a way, I am able to look back later on what I have done before. If I talk to someone, I won't write it down at all. So I need to check back on a few things I have done. Eventually, I treat it like a journal. I learn to write in a more systematic and organized way. Also helps to improve my writing skills.

For me personally, do what you want to do that makes you happy and healthy. As for me, I prefer and choose to spend time with my cat and plants more than others. Then write about the activities that I have done. It is just what my energy is left to be used for. Have to fully utilize the minimal energy level to optimum. Feel free to do any method that fits your preference and needs.

Plus, it is part of my way in sharing some knowledge and discovery with others.

Until then, have fun in taking pictures of your blooming snow vine flowers.
