DIY germinating pots

I tried to sow some kailan seeds on the soil plots last week, but none of them are germinated. This might due to heavy rain since last week. What in my mind is, the run off may sweep away all the seeds. Flushed away every thing. 

Sad.

By the way, my wife, D has proposed me this method.

I sowed cucumber, Chinese's cabbage, and kailan in every egg pot. 

I hope something good will happen after this ;)

My eggplant "babies".

Booyah!

My eggplant trees had just budded out its first "baby" yesterday. That's mean I could possibly harvest them the other week!

Sleep-walking around my garden.

It was raining like cats and dogs yesterday. So I went out to check up my garden. Luckily everything was fine :)

Chinese cabbage

Egg-plants

Pumpkin

Tapioca 

Kuinin on the pot, and pandan's leaf.

Banana

Chilies

Spring beans

The tree

I have no idea what is this, but my maid used this in her dish. Indonesian and Thai like to use this in thier dish. It smell like lemon grass :)

Lemon grass.

Can I identify it as lilly?

The intruder of my garden.

I still remember when I was small, I used to accompany my grandma to guard her garden during the night. It was her routine to patrol around her garden before we went to bed. She would carry a small container filled with salt.

Normally she will give me  a short instruction.

"Remember, when ever you come across with slug or snail, just pour a pinch of salt on them"

Last night, I went outside for fear that my rabbits may run out of food supply, as I missed to feed them due to heavy rain since early evening. I screamed hysterically when I saw a snail lingering slowly and eating my garden plants.

I am sorry. You deserved better.

My potato saga.

Sad. Sad. And Sad.

It was my first attempt and the result wasn't expected to be worsened like that. 

I need to find help from Mr Google then. Sigh.

I think there are few info that should be gathered before I proceed with my next potato saga:

1. What is the type of soil that I should use?

2. What is the type of potato variety that possible could be resistant to hot temperature of Malaya?

Grrr...

The Hippocratic Oath

You may read about the oath here, but I would like to comment the video.

I watch this video yesterday, and the robber probably bled to death getting his major blood vessels hit by the bullet(s). Kudos for the police to bring him down for the safety of the public. I could not agree less, but shooting him down may be the best option to stop him - at that moment.

However when I saw the robber was pleading to be saved, I reckon he deserved the right to be salvaged. As a human, I disagree that this is the way to deal with the injured person, and leaving him to die is totally inhumane.

I am not blaming the police per say. The crowd were busy recording "the moment" instead of calling the ambulance or do necessary thing to stop the bleed. Sigh.

Some people may say that when he decided to rob, he was giving up human rights. Well, that is something that the court should handle with, and could only happen if the robber were saved.

But, this is only my judgement based on what I saw in the video. You may agree to disagree.

88 Pakatan reps skip briefing at Parliament

This is among the perks and perils when the Govt has shrunk their majority in the Parliament. Sigh.
Even though the first meeting is avoidable, I strongly disagree with the action by the opposition members.
Please play your role as MPs of the people and get back to work for the benefit of people who have voted you in.

MP Bakri wakil tunggal Pakatan ke taklimat Parlimen

Hazlan Zakaria 11:30AM Jun 11 2013

Seramai 88 daripada 89 ahli parlimen Pakatan Rakyat gagal untuk hadir dalam sesi taklimat mengenai tempat duduk dan isu-isu lain di Parlimen pagi ini.

Menurut Speker Dewan Rakyat, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, hanya seorang sahaja ahli parlimen dari pembangkang yang hadir pada sesi taklimat tersebut iaitu Ahli Parlimen Bakri dari DAP, Er Teck Hwa. 

"Kita mengamalkan demokrasi. Orang yang datang, datang. Yang tidak datang, tidak datang.

"Saya menganggap semua yang tidak hadir mempunyai alasan mereka tersendiri dan bukan untuk memboikot," katanya dalam sidang media selepas sesi taklimat tersebut. 

Pandikar juga menjelaskan bahawa kehadiran bagi sesi pagi ini adalah tidak wajib. 

"(Sesi) ini adalah untuk Ahli Parlimen yang baru. Bagi yang senior, mereka akan hadir jika mereka menghormati tempat di mana mereka bekerja. Tetapi kita faham yang ada sesetengah daripada mereka mempunyai alasan kenapa mereka tidak datang," katanya lagi. 

Beliau bagaimanapun berkata, ketidakhadiran ahli parlimen tersebut akan menjadikan perkara lebih rumit kerana mereka perlu mengambil tempahan untuk baju uniform serta memohon kad pengenalan ahli parlimen.
