The Homeless...

The happening was yesterday. In the morning I went to Ampang Point to get some grocery and later went to have Roti Canai and Teh Tarek at a Mamak Restaurant that I frequent. While there I was told by the friendly cashier that  a young girl had been seen sleeping at the outdoor rest area nearby provided by the local council for food truck to served their customers.  And that he had given free food to her. Since he knew I help the needy who come here he suggest that I see that girl. I went and just say a few words to her. She look decent, a Malay teenager probably left her home after SPM. I did not want to probe further at this juncture and instead told her to 'Jaga diri'. After seeing her had some food I then discussed with the cashier and left. According to my friend the cashier he notice she had been there for some times already. Well in the city of KL and it's suburbs it quite normal to see homeless around. In and around KL there are many NGOs providing services to the homeless. Among it are the Kedai Jalanan and the  Dapur Jalanan at Jalan Panggong in Kl.  In this case I would try  to help, one step a time. I always believes in helping and not to ask too many questions. My way is Just help! and forget about it. I made up my mind to help her. Let see how it goes, In Sya Allah.

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
