OMG!!! A Pharmaceutical Post
I recieve this in a package brought in by someone… 8 unknown pills and 2 Albendazole.

I was like.. WTF… what could it be? Benzos? Ect? or just your plain Panadol?

Further investigation through rxlist.com showed that its just nothing
cheers…
P/S: I’m not using drugs or what so ever…
It’s all survival.

My underfed cat is chewing down a lizard. Actually it’s still alive until the cat give the final blow to the head with some cracking sound. The lizard don’t even feel a thing
A close up of what left of the head.

Can you see the eyeball still connected to the spine?

Tebaloi: A traditional Melanau’s Food
This is the promised dedicated post on Tebaloi. The food that is synonymous with the Melanau of Sarawak. Tebaloi is some sort of a cracker made from sago powder (in shredded form). This cracker is made from the same stuff the sago grub eat.
We start with this traditional method of making it. I assume this Kilang is a family affair.
Relatively the tebaloi start in the blender machine.

With a mix of certain stuff to give flavour, texture, colour and smell. (please refer to recipe at the bottom). This so call dough will go on to the next phase..

Later on the dough was spread evenly on a banana leaf to get the nice thin physic of the cracker. Somehow they only use banana leaf because it is the most suitable material, I was told. Bottle is use to spread the dough on the leaf. That lady can done it smoothly and evenly…

You end up with this.

They put it aside for a moment. I don’t know why they do so. Maybe for letting the dough settle.

Later on they bake it over this traditional style oven. They have mangrove wood as fuel, I believe this wood give a very stable and consistent heat as it burn away. This is the first baking phase.

Half way through the baking the tebaloi is taken out for cutting. At this stage the tebaloi is still soggy but manageable. It is cut into small pieces (almost the size of ½ A4).

Another shot of the pre-baked tebaloi. Still soft..

The cut tebaloi then go through it’s final baking process. This is where it get the crunch. Actually it’s more like smoked not baked.
*noticed the cylinder to vent out excess smoke?

The finish product is weight and packaged. Ready to ship out.
Next we visit yet another Tebaloi factory with a modern twist.

Located not far from the traditional one. This one is under Jabatan Pertanian.
Actually they do the same thing here only they use industrial type machine to process the tebaloi dough.

See the same dough…


They have this huge electric baking oven to bake the Tebaloi to perfection. They use production line concept to mass produce the tebaloi. Taste the same… but you will not smell the smoke on the tebaloi.
So for those who is adventurous enough, try your hand on making one. Below is a pamphlet given by the factory. It contain instructions to DIY your Tebaloi.

Pantas Dan Garang: Tokyo Drift
That is what I watched just now. As far as I know, that is what the subtitle translated the title The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Pantas dan Garang…. Apungan Tokyo… some buggers translate drift into apungan in BM.. We have a great laugh for that..
The storeyline is damn linear with one stupid white boy trying to get one relatively unattractive girl while he have like hundreds of cute Japanese girls around… do the math… I watch it just to see the drift done by THE STUNTMAN (which is the real drifter). we all know some of them was CGI. Like some of the inside joke that drifter fan know.. especially the appearance of Keichi Tsuchiya (Drift King himself) while the white boy busy practicing his sideways… wooohooo….
*edited*
Leaving the stupid story line in smokes, the movie is great-lah… the Tokyo street chase is among the breath taking-lah.. but somewhere in that scene, drifting is far from relevant. Why do you need to go sideway just to overtake a car in a straight line while running from a bad guy? Plain fun? I know I won’t do that even if I’m a Drift King, ITs JUST NOT RIGHT.
But I must say… the one where our whiteboy go sideway at the busy street junction is too much man… toooooo much.. you get the neck hair thing…
Parking space drift is better and relevant to me, it’s for the fun…
Now that Tokyo Drift hit the whole nation. It’s just a matter of time before our local (Sarikei and Sibu) AhBEngS start doing sideways.. ow… I can’t wait to see KE70 doing sideway infront of Standard Chartered Sibu
or doing downhill at Bukit Tinggi ,Pakan (as if my sister didn’t do it before
). *LOL*
but wait… Proton just can’t drift. If you insist, pulling the e-brake on a FF car is what we call ass dragging. So since you, just like me who doesn’t own any FR car so we better stick with GT3 or GT4. hei hei…
cheers…
