The Lamp....

I bought this classic lamp at Ikea some years back and hang it at my little garden under the translucent roof. Everyone who saw it always ask where did I get it and that always starts a conversation on things of the work of arts. Just think how much works had been done to create this masterpiece in aluminiu. Of course it started with an idea but idea would be just be ideas unless more input are put to realise it into a consumer product like that lamp; well the discussion among us who love the work of art would continue on and on thus add to our knowledge of things of beauty like that lamp above.  

Last month it did not light up as usual when switch on. I decided to find out why it kaput so I took it down and found it got corroded by rain water that drip onto it over times. I decided to do the repair myself. I dismantled the whole set, got it clean and try putting it back with a new cable set with bulb holder. a spare I happens to have in store. Since some parts had rusted it took me three days, working on it at my leisure I put it back and voila! its working like new. I then hang it at a new location. Happy indeed. 

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 th...

Twinkle Villa Janda Baik...

A few months ago, I surfed the net trying to find an outback resort in the jungle of Janda Baik, an enclave of the east side of the main range of Malaya, for a short retreat with the family. In Malay the main range is call the Banjaran Titiwangsa. Most of the forest in the main range of Malaya are some 160 million years old since it was not touch by the ice age. In the search I stumble upon the Twinkle Villa and decided to explore more from the resort website. It looks interesting with a concept of a private villa where the guests are limited in numbers. Since this is something new I then told my daughter Lin to check and maybe one of these days we could just go there. She did her homework and then make a booking to get the whole family there on the weekend that she is free. As usual with a three-generation family it difficult to get everyone along in one go. In the end she books a villa that could accommodate six and was allotted the Villa Resak. All the villas are names after ...
