薄饼 ♦ Popiah

薄饼是马来西亚福建人创的食物。
Popiah is a cousine which is created by Malaysian Hokkien.

材料其实是看个人的喜好。。。这里提供一个参考让大家在家里试试看。
Ingredients actually depend on the person him-/herself...this is just as suggestion to let you try at home.


我们逆时钟从右面看起：
we see one-by-one from the right in anti-clockwise direction:
鸡蛋（加酱油煎得厚厚的，在切成一条条），
egg (add some soy sauce and fry it in thick form, cut it),
黄瓜（也切成一条条），
cucumber (cut them too),
虾膏（用柠檬汁和适量的糖调配过），
shrimp paste (add some lemon juice and sugar to dilute it),
花生碎（用搅拌机把它打碎），
peanut (use blender to blend it),
炸洋葱头（买现成的），
fried onion (just buy from supermarket),
豆芽（用酱油炒一炒），
Bean sprouts (fry with some soy sauce),
中间就是那个薄饼皮，是小麦做的。
In the middle is Popiah skin, is made from wheat flour.


还有新鲜的虾，和虾米（煎一煎）。
and also fresh prawn and dried prawn (fry them).


现在为你们介绍怎么做薄饼是我们的大厨Eric Boon大厨师，掌声鼓励鼓励~~~~（拍拍拍拍~~~）
Now, let me introduce you our chef --Eric Boon, he will teach you how to make popiah, please put your hands together~~~ (applause~~~)

谢谢大家，首先在皮上面涂一些虾膏，这个虾膏不是直接涂上去的哦！你看，罐里面的虾膏是粘粘的，你看我的很稀，不是用水弄稀哦！用水就没有味道了，要用柠檬汁。。。bla bla bla（本人sensor掉他show-off的那段，怎么弄看上面就好）
Thank you everyone, first of all, put some shrimp past on the skin, don't take the shrimp paste directly from the bottle!~~ you see, in the bottle the shrimp paste is very sticky, mine is already diluted, but it's not diluted with water! if you use water to dilute it will be tasteless, use lemon juice....bla bla bla (the showing-off part is sensored, just read from above how to do it)

然后加花生碎，为什么要先加花生碎？因为可以把多余的水份吸一下，皮就不会这么容易破掉。我也是看人家怎么弄学回来的。。。因为小时候很喜欢吃popiah...bla bla bla（又在sensor他讲故事的那段，以后看到bla bla bla就是sensor啦，不用解释。。。:P）
then add peanut, why it is followed by peanut but not other thing? because it will adsorb some water so that the skin won't be so watery and spoilt. i learned it from other people...when i was small, i like to eat popiah....bla bla bla (again sensored because of telling unimportant story, the following part if you see bla bla bla means it is sensored, no need to explain so much...:P)


再加上豆芽，黄瓜，煎蛋。。。煎蛋要煎到这样厚厚才好吃。。。bla bla bla
and then add Bean sprouts, cucumber, fried egg....fried egg must be thick or else it doesn't taste nice....bla bla bla


加一点新鲜虾，虾米。。。
add some fresh prawns and dried prawns...


在上面洒一些炸葱头。。。
spread some fried onion on top of it...


包起来。。。
wrap it...


握紧它。。。粘起来。。。
hold it tight....stick it...


切开来。。。
cut it...


漂亮吗？可以沾虾膏，洒花生碎吃。。。
looks nice? can put some more shrimp paste and spread some more peanut....
我在德国朋友家那里弄来给他们吃他们都不喜欢虾膏的味道，讲很臭。。。不懂好料。。。就像榴莲一样。。。bla bla bla...
i make this food at my german friend's house but they don't like the smell of shrimp paste, they said it's very smelly...aih...they don't enjoy this good thing...just like durian....bla bla bla....


这个是教怎么包popiah的短片。

Teargas used on rare Malaysia demo

(CNN) -- The largest political protest in nearly a decade erupted in Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur, Saturday with riot police aiming water hoses and tear gas at thousands of protesters gathered to demand electoral reform.

Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Kuala Lumpur to demand electoral reform.

Opposition parties and civic groups demonstrated against alleged fraudulent activity in the electoral process and demanded an overhaul of Malaysia's electoral commission ahead of general elections widely expected for early next year.

Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had vowed to suppress the demonstration, and on Saturday police had erected roadblocks and ramped up security in an attempt to close down the city's center.

Nevertheless, in defiance of a government ban, between 30,000 and 40,000 demonstrators massed outside the royal palace in Kuala Lumpar, according to media reports. Opposition group leader and former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim put the number much higher, claiming more than 100,000 people had gathered in the streets.

One witness said police fired tear gas and jets of "chemically-laced water" at hundreds of demonstrators who sought refuge in the city's Jamek mosque and in commercial buildings.

"Squads of police are chasing hundreds of protesters along alleys and on the city streets," the witness said, speaking on condition of anonymity. He said blockades had been set up around the city to hem in demonstrators.

Photos of the crackdown showed protesters dressed in yellow t-shirts and head scarves shielding their heads as water from cannons blasted down on them.

New York-based Human Rights Watch slammed the rally ban and urged the government to support free speech ahead of elections expected to be called early next year.

"If Malaysia wants to count itself a democracy, it can begin by upholding constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly. The way the system works now, only the ruling coalition can get its messages out," it said.

Human Rights Watch said Malaysian elections have been sullied by vote-buying, the use of public resources by the ruling parties and accusations of bias against the Election Commission.

Malaysia has had only one party in power since 1957.

Speaking to CNN after briefly addressing the opposition-backed rally, Anwar said "we are demanding that the (election) process be cleansed. There are no such thing as fair elections in Malaysia at the moment."

He said a memorandum detailing allegations of corruption by the commission had been handed to Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, Malaysia's constitutional monarch.

Malaysian law stipulates the sultan must give his royal assent to the commission after it has been appointed by the government.

Opposition party leaders, including Anwar, called the mass meeting to protest alleged fraudulent activity in the electoral process.

"This was an attempt to threaten the people. But I am very proud that Malaysians were not intimidated and turned out in such great numbers and that they behaved peacefully," Anwar said.Anwar was heir apparent to former premier Mahathir Mohamad until 1998, when he was sacked and charged for corruption and sodomy.

The sodomy conviction was overturned, but the corruption verdict was never lifted, barring him from running for political post until next year.

椰浆饭和拉茶 ♦ Nasi Lemak and Teh Tarik

这就是椰浆饭。你可以大概看到我们放了什么配料。
This is Nasi Lemak (Coconut rice). You can see briefly what is inside.

椰浆饭的材料： Ingredients for Nasi Lemak:
米 Rice
椰浆 Coconut milk
香兰叶 Pandan leaf
鸡腿 Chicken leg
鸡蛋 Eggs
蚝 Oyster/ Mussel
虾 Prawn
江鱼仔 Anchovy
花生 Peanuts
黄瓜 Cucumbers
蒜米 Garlic
大洋葱和小红洋葱 Onions and Shallots
马来虾膏粉 Belacan
辣椒干 Dried Chilli
黄姜粉Turmeric Powder
面粉 Flour

饭就像普通那样煮，但是不是用水，是用椰浆。其实要放香兰叶，但是这里买不到。
The rice is cooked like normal just that not with water, but with coconut milk. Actually should put pandan leaf, but we can't get it here.

炸鸡篇：
Fried Chicken Part:

鸡肉要腌过。除了普通的盐糖酱油外，最重要的是黄姜粉，马来人把它当作华人的五香粉用的。。。
Marinate the chicken with salt, sugar, soy sauce, the most important is Turmeric powder, malay use it like chinese Five-spice powder ...

然后沾鸡蛋，沾面粉那去炸。鸡肉太大块的话，最好是炸两回，一次热油炸一次温油炸。再不然就放进微波炉煮熟它（没办法的办法），但是肉汁和油会跑出来，皮就不脆了。
And then stick some egg and flour, then fry. If the chicken pieces are too big, try to fry them twice, once with hot oil and then once with warm oil. Or another lazy way is to put into the microwave and cook them (if you have no choice), but the meat juice will flow out and the skin will not be crispy anymore.

煎蛋篇：
Frying Eggs part:

就把鸡蛋打一打放酱油。（听说放盐会有氯气跑出来之类的，所以鸡蛋我都不放盐了）
just stir the eggs and put some soy sauce in it. (I heard that if you add salt will release clorine gas something like that, so i don't put salt anymore)

煎成这样一片片。。。
fry to pieces like this...

再切成这样一条条。。。
cut to slices like this...

Sambal：
Sambal就是这道菜的灵魂。
Sambal is the soul of this dish.

需要一些切成环状的洋葱。。。
you need some onions in ring form...

这是红色小小粒的洋葱仔，很重要，香味全从它们来。。。
These small red Shallots are very important, the fragrance is from them...

那几陀被搅成稀巴烂的是：（12点起顺时钟）辣椒干，大洋葱，红色小洋葱仔，蒜米。。。还有很重要的belacan粉，和sambal oelek一罐（这样就不用自己弄这么多咯 :P）。。。
Those like shit are: (from 12 o'clock clockwise direction) dried chili, onions, shallots, garlic...and very imporant is belacan powder, and a bottle of sambal oelek (so that you don't need to make so much on your own :P)

东西炒一炒，把以上的东西靠感觉加进去。。。这道是拿来煮虾。。。
fry those sutff on above with your own feel....this is sambal with prawn...

这道是拿来煮蚝。。。
this is sambal with mussel...



还要煎一煎江鱼仔。。。烘一烘花生。。。这里买到的是上面这个罐头花生，将就一下啦！~~
fry some Anchovy...heat some peanuts....here we just use this king of peanut in can, don't be so fussy lah!~~


好了，所有的料都准备好了。。。
ok, all the stuff are ready...



一个人份大概就是这样咯。。。
for one person is something like this...




Teh Tarik：

用热水冲茶（有点像红茶），加炼奶和糖。。。
boil hot water and pour into the filter with tea leaves (taste like red tea) in it, add some condensed milk and sugar...

拉一拉让空气接触一下，这就是马来西亚出名的Teh Tarik（拉茶），说穿了其实跟香港的丝袜奶茶差不多啦！~~:P
pull it with 2 cups and so that the tea has a contact with air, this is the famous malaysia Teh Tarik, but actually taste something like Hong Kong-style milk tea.

Hari Raya Puasa

Before Hari Raya Puasa, we (muslim) have to "puasa" (fast). Fasting prohibits us from eating, drinking, even having bad thoughts (therefore covers having arguments with others). Puasa month starts 1-month before Hari Raya Puasa. As you can tell from the name Hari Raya Puasa, we celeberate for finishing Puasa.

1) Puasa month (also known as Bulan Ramadhan)
We don't take food/beverages from morning prayer (about 5am ++) until evening prayer (about 7pm ++). The time will varies in different area (where the sun rises and sets at different timing).
It is easy for us to stay away from hunger/thristy if we have enough meals before 5sth, that meal we called it "Saho". Then after 7sth, we break the fast (buka puasa).

2) Hari Raya Puasa

a) Eve
Same as others, this is the best time for all the family members to reunion. We all go back to our hometown (balik kampung). It is my habit to return one day before the 1st day of Hari Raya Puasa. So that I can fast 1 day in my hometown, and break-fast with my family members. It is fun eating with them.

Hari raya eve, after the last day of fasting, we prepare food for Hari Raya.

Common food will be "ketupat".


b) Day 1
We will wear new cloths. We usually have colour themes for each family. This year, my family members selected green colour. Therefore, everyone wears green. We will decide on the colours months ago, so that we can buy the clothes or ask tailor to make new clothes for all family member with the same clothes. Therefore, it is common to see mother and daughters wearing the same pattern of clothes, as they are made by the same tailor! I bought a ready-made shirt from JohnMaster, since I'm still single. I think I will love to have tailor-made cloth after I have my own family.

Early in the morning, the kids have to greed (salam) the parents (or whoever older). Salam is a manner that all Malays are taught since young before you know how to say "hello, uncle". We hold the hand of the older, and kiss his/her hand. Or alternatively, we can just put his/her hand on our forehead. This is to show respect, and greed the olders. And they will tap our head to give us blessing.


The kids salam-kan the parents, and getting green packet (same like red packet for Chinese, money is inside the packet). Also, u can see all of them wearing in GREEN.

After that, all family members will go to the grave to greed the deadone. My parents passed away when I was young. So, we went to greed them.


Since we cant kiss their hand, we clean up the grave area.

And there continue our house-visiting. Each house we go, they will serve us food = ketupat, cookies etc.... We have to eat almost everything they served, to show that we appreciate their host. So, eat eat eat eat till the end of the 1st day and continue on 2nd, 3rd day....


eat eat eat eat....

c) Malay traditional cloth
We prefer the silk material, as it is soft and cool. Normally buttons are not included. So that we can select the colour of button.


The button on top is removed.


The button which can easily tuck into the shirt.

Malaysia's first astronaut

Source from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7036933.stm



Wednesday, 10 October 2007, Malaysia astronaut set to launch

Malaysia's first astronaut is set to blast off for a voyage to the International Space Station (ISS).

Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will lift off from the Baikonur site cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, together with one Russian and one US astronaut.

The funny things to discuss:

1. As a muslim, he needs to fast after the run rises till the sun set during Ramadan.
2. And he has to kneel down to pray for 5 times a day by facing to Mecca.

As a matter of fact, the spaceship is turning 16 times over the earth in a day.

1. There will be 16 times of sun set and he can have 16 meals per day, so there is no problem for him to fast. :P
2. Can he kneel down and find his direction to face to Mecca in 0 gravity? maybe it's not an obligation. But 5 times a day praying will become 80 times!!!~~~hahahaha

more information on Wikipedia :

Since Sheikh Muszaphar is a Muslim, and as his time in space will coincide with the last part of Ramadan, the Islamic National Fatwa Council drew up the first comprehensive guidebook for Muslims in space.^[1][3] The 18-page guidebook is titled "Guidelines for Performing Islamic Rites (Ibadah) at the International Space Station", and details issues such as how to pray in a low-gravity environment, how to locate Mecca from the ISS, how to determine prayer times, and issues surrounding fasting. The orbit of the ISS results in one day/night cycle every 90 minutes,^[1][22] so the issues of fasting during Ramadan are also addressed. The guidebook will be translated into Russian, Arabic, and English.^[7][23] Ramadan began on September 13, 2007, and continues through about October 13, 2007, meaning Sheikh Muszaphar will spend the last four days of Ramadan in space.^[24] Anan C. Mohd, from Malaysia's Department of Islamic Development said that fasting while traveling is optional, so Sheikh Muszaphar could choose what he would like to do, but if he did decide to fast in space, the times would be centered around local time in Baikonur, where the launch takes place.^[25][26] Sheikh Muszaphar will celebrate Eid ul-Fitr aboard the station, and packed some satay and cookies to hand out to the rest of the crew on Saturday, October 13, to mark the end of Ramadan.<sup>[27]

About the Malaysia Space Program :</sup>

This program was officially announced by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad as a joint programme with the Russian Federation. It is a project under the government-to-government offset agreement through the purchase of Sukhoi SU-30MKM fighter jets for the Royal Malaysian Air Force.

Under this agreement the Russian Federation will bear the cost of training of two Malaysians and to send one to the International Space Station (ISS) in October 2007.

The Malaysian National Space Agency (ANGKASA), Ministry of Science, Technologies and Innovations was given the responsibility of commissioning the process of selecting the participants. Two of the four selected participants were sent to the Astronaut Training Programme in Star City, Russia for 18 months of training.

Planned Agenda

Scientific program of the Malaysian astronaut

#	Experiment	Code	Description
1	Cells in Space	CIS	Study of the effects of microgravity and space radiation on eukaryotic cells focusing on changes in the structure and function at the cellular and molecular levels
2	Microbes in Space	MIS	Study of the effects of microgravity on motility of bacteria, drug resistances as well as changes in gene expression (using the microarray approach). Expect to show some effects of bacterial growth using a pre-determined minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).
3	Protein Crystallisation in Space	PCS	The purpose of this experiment is to compare the crystal growth of lipases on Earth with that grown in microgravity. Several test conditions will also be tested to improve the protein crystallisation process on Earth as well as in space.
4	Malaysian Food in Space	FIS	Increase the variety and quality of food available to space travelers by identifying new food items (specifically typical Malaysian dishes) that are appropriate for consumption during space flight.
5	Study of spinning motions in microgravity environment	TOP	A physics demonstration to show the effect of microgravity on the motions of spinning object using a top.
6	PR and Symbolics	PAS	PR and Symbolics activities.

On November 15, 2006, in a response to a question in the Dewan Rakyat, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Rohani Abdul Karim (representing the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry) stated that the Malaysian astronaut would, "spin top and toss Batu Seremban (five-stone game) as part of an experiment during his space travel". She added, "The astronaut will also paint a batik motif and make "teh tarik" ("pulled" tea) which would be shared with his fellow astronauts."^[4].

However, on December 18, 2006, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis said that making teh-tarik in space would not happen. Various experiments drawn up by selected Malaysian institutes would be carried out by the Malaysian astronaut while in zero-gravity. In the planned physics education (live class in space) portion of the spaceflight, the astronaut will also be, "demonstrating the behavior of fluids" and "observing the effects of a spinning object", to show Malaysian students on the ground the effects of zero-gravity on selected physical phenomena.^[5]

Criticism

The cost of sending a single Malaysian into space has been estimated at RM $95 million (approximately USD $26 million). The entire Malaysian space program has been severely criticized as a severe waste of money for a developing nation that could ill afford such indulgences by an Australian commentator who suggested that Malaysia would basically be using foreign space programs as a "taxi service" to transport its angkasawan, gaining nothing of merit.

Siti Nurhaliza-Aku Cinta PadaMu

Juara Lagu 1997 - Aku Cinta PadaMu

She became widely recognised since that. That was 10 years ago!!

Andai engkau ku miliki
Terdahulu sebelumnya
Andaikan curah rasa hati
Mungkin kini ku kan tenang di sampingmu

Belum puasku menikmati
Kesan kasih sayang kau terpaksa pergi
Inginku terus dicintai
Walau bisikanmu azimat berduri
Bila cinta berbunga
Jadi airmata dijariku

Betapaku cinta padamu
Katakanlah kau cinta padaku
Sematkanlahku di hatimu
Walau di mana berada
Ingatku dalam doamu

Hiasilah hati
Dengan cinta suci
Selamanya

Solo (repeat 1)

Gemerlapan jiwa
Semikanlah cita
Semoga kau dan aku
Akhirnya bersama

Akukan menunggu
Walaupun seribu tahun lagi

《水调歌头》邓丽君



明月几时有　把酒问青天
不知天上宫阙　今夕是何年
我欲乘风归去　唯恐琼楼玉宇　高处不胜寒
起舞弄清影　何似在人间
转朱阁閣　低绮户　照无眠
不应有恨　何事长向別时圆
人有悲欢离合　月有阴晴圆缺　此事古难全
但愿人长久　千里共婵娟


《月亮圆》山脚下男孩



月亮圆　月亮圆　月亮照在我的家
沒有春夏秋冬的家　流传千年
现在的孩子不相信　月亮有小白兔
功课与电脑　使他們不再听古老的神话
当高楼大厦　遮档了古老的月亮
就趁这个季节　让你的孩子知道
古老的神话　源自何方
