Just Rambling...



I start blogging in 2003. Had it not for blogging I would not have met so many remarkable man and woman; strangers who later became my friends. The friendship that starts in the virtual world became complete when we met in the physical world. After I retired in 1990 after working in the government for 32 years I actually was trying to lie low and enjoy life just like that but when I took to blogging my whole journey of life was transformed into a new reality. A reality that I never thought would be possible. I had always love to help people in one way or the other; my work  in  the  Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports give me that opportunity where I help to train the young in various aspect of leadership. So when I retired through blogging I found I could extend that by sharing my thoughts through writing with a simple hopes that the ideas and information that I share would help whoever read my blog. My first Blog Pak Idrus's Post [In Passing Malaysian] which contain more than 1400 posting was put as a Private Blog and thus no long seen by the public. With that I started this new blog and now renamed it as ''Pak Idrus's Blog; a Life's Journey. Here I would post any subjects that I like and hope that visitors would continue to benefit from it. At this age my like and dislike has changes somewhat so I would only write things that I think would be of benefit to all. I do hopes that visitors would leave comment which would act as a feedback of my writing. Before Facebook I would get many visitors but now not that many as before but I do go on blogging for writing is a passion and it for my personal satisfaction. If others enjoy reading it I happy with it. 

It changing time and some Blogger have move to Facebook and no longer blog but from what I notice there are real Blogger out there who still write and I am happy with their determination just like me, enjoying blogging. Keep it up folks and enjoy blogging. We must remember whatever posted on FB does not last and could not be found when a search is done but everything posted on Blog would be there as contents on the Web. It could be found whenever one search for information and ideas.  Just search and one would find the past posting on Blogs. With the closing of my FB account I would be blogging more and more and that is good for my mental faculty. Bantering on FB at time gets tense and depressing thus it’s not good for my health. That is one reason why I stop Facebooking. I want to enjoy whatever I am doing and blogging did just that. There is no use getting into a debate like in FB which at time left one depressed which in a way does not benefit anyone. 

Well folks life is like that; so be happy and keep enjoying whatever you are doing and live that moment in time.  Have a nice day.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is  one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made there by two of

The Sunrise at Teluk Cempedak...

We were in Kuantan for a short holiday. As usual I always take the time to watch the sunrise at Teluk Cempedak; a beach that I call my own. I grew up playing on that sandy beach from the age of seven years old and I felt in love with the sea. So going to that beach is a ritual that I never missed to do whenever I am in Kuantan.  Early that Saturday morning of September 3, 2016 I woke early and with my nephew driving we left for the beach at around 6.30am. According to the data I had the sun would rise at Teluk Cempedak at 7.01am that morning. When we arrived at the beach there were already others there waiting for the sun to rise. I had brought my latest camera the Canon EOS M10 with me. It is a Mirrorless camera, the new new generation of the DSLR. It is much smaller than the DSLR and have interchangeable lens. As soon as I got there I walk along the beach and enjoy the freshness of the morning air. Yonder at the horizon I could see some light as the the sun makes it
