Kacang Tumbuk

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Kacang Tumbuk

OK… Kacang Tumbuk is in Malay. I’m not sure what it’s called in English. Direct translation would be “Pound(Tumbuk) Nuts(Kacang)” hahaha… In Hokkien, we called it “Kong T’ng”. They are made from peanuts, maltose and sugar. The texture is powdery and have some crispy parts also. Quite messy when eating this. Oh… Becarefully when eating this, don’t talk as you’ll get choke.

For the Chinese, when they are announcing their engagement, they will give friends and relatives boxes/packets of “engagement sweets”. Usually there are two types of sweet in the box/packet. One is the hard type and one is the powdery type. The hard type is made from hard toffee and peanuts. The powdery type is Kacang Tumbuk/Kong T’ng. They are both wrapped in red coloured papers that usually would stain your hand red. However, nowadays some people don’t use these instead they are replaced with sweets and chocolates packed nicely in boxes or gift wrappers/bags.

You Know Lar…

Posted on By sweet surrender 13 Comments on You Know Lar…

OMG! I only got to know about it today. My bro is in form 3 this year and will be sitting for his PMR end of this year. It’s about his class. You know that the Ministry of Education is trying to introduce sex education in school but hmm… I’m not sure is there any or not?

Now, let’s go to the main topic. According to my bro, his Science teacher really sucks big time. Why? Ok… I’m not condemning the Malays or Muslims. I don’t see there is anything wrong for you to teach your students about sexual health/organs. He told me that his Science teacher couldn’t explain this topic clearly to them and kept trying to censor what she said. If you remember, we used to have one of the chapters that covered reproduction organs right? Here’s an exmaple:

A _____ is a male reproduction organ. (Answer is “penis”)
Teacher:*Write the answer on the board*
Students: *Copy the answer*
Teacher: This is you-know-lar. No need me to explain futher.
Students: Why?
Teacher: Because of my religion, I’m not suppose to talk about it. (not the exact quote but it sounded something like this)

WTF!!! For goodness sake! What is it so hard to explain what is a penis or vagina or scrotum or sperms etc. to your students? She couldn’t even bring herself to say the word! We didn’t ask you to talk about how to have sex!!!! I mean like explain to them scientifically, like what it does scientifically. No one asks you to explain to the students how to use it such as carass it to make it erected and you can play with it with your mouth or your pussy yada yada yada… (-_-“) You tell them that it’s a “PENIS” not “Willie” or “Captain Strong” or whatever name you have for it.

I’m sure your religion does not forbid you to explain and teach your student properly about sexual reproduction organs. Teaching them how to have sex is of course not right, that’s for sure. You are a teacher, can’t you explain it properly instead of always having to censor your words using “you know lar“. Summore it’s in the textbook and all you have to do is rephrase them! There is no need for you to explain about your sexual life or others’ sexual life to them. If you don’t explain properly to the students, what do you expect them to do? Go back home, hook up the Internet and type in these keywords and search for it and they 100% ended in porn sites. So… There you go… They are going into the wrong sites and learning something wrong. Blame who? Blame the parents? Or should blame the teachers?

With this kind of attitude and mentality, do you think sexual education can be successfully implemented in schools? NO WAY! If it’s already in the system, then I guess during this period, the teacher won’t be teaching and will just let the students do their own works such as completing their homeworks or study as long that they do not make noise. That’s for sure.

What’s your say? It’s really too much. You’re a teacher not a sex guru! There is nothing wrong to teach your students about reprodcutions organs and what the heck that you took your religion as an excuse to not to explain to them in a proper way by teaching them about the risks and diseases that will affect their intimate organs if they do not take care of them, about periods, about erections etc.

Besides that, as you know, the current education system is using English to teach Science and Mathematics. Everything is in English but guess what?!!?! My bro said that his teachers never teach them in English, all the classes are conducted in Bahasa Malaysia(Melayu) or the Malay language! How on earth are you going to let your students excel in their studies when the exams, the exercises are all in English??!?!? No wonder parents are sending their children to tuition classes because you can’t get proper classes in school! If that’s the case, better no need to send them to school. Just send them to tuition classes will do. Then parents can save lots of time and money. Worst, not long ago I heard that they want to revert back to using the national language to teach! GOSHHH!

There you go… This is our education system. I never like it anyway. Good thing I’m no longer in it. Next time if I can affrod it, I wil make sure my children won’t be getting such crappy education, I’m going to send them out of here which means I’m leaving with them.

Header changed in conjunction of Valentine’s. πŸ˜› The rose picture was taken by me hehehe…

Haven’t go to Coffee Master at 4th Floor, Somerset Gateway for a long long time.


Left: One of the CNY decor.
Right: Kacang Ma Chicken Rice(RM5.80). WOW!! Last time I went there, all I smelt was coffee. This time, you’ll be greeted with the aroma of Kacang Ma. What a surprise! Didn’t expect this kind of place to serve this kind of food. The Kacang Ma isn’t bad but the rice is a bit small in portion.
Kacang Ma is a type of herb that is widely consumed by women during their confinement or those having their period in Asia. Guys can also consume it but I know most guys don’t like it. It’s cooked with chicken and wine, some use white wine, some use red. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t.


Left: Hot Chocolate Extra(RM5.50-RM6, I can’t remember the price :P).
Right: Ice Blended Chocolate Vanilla(RM6.20)

This is one place where you can hang out with friends.

WOW! Retail therapy really works! Gosh… Must not get addicted to it (-.-“). No way… No way… Cannot do that. Must control. If not I’ll go bankrupt.

Manage to buy some tops and a pair of sandals for CNY. However, bottom is a bit pain in the ass. πŸ˜› Couldn’t find much that I like. All my clothings are less than RM30 hehehe… Amazing! This year I bought more but didn’t spend much. However, bought a pair of expensive sandals. I usually don’t buy RM45 and above sandals but I bought one today that cost me RM58.90 (-.-“) Ah… Don’t care! As long that I like it. I’ve been looking for new sandals for ages and looking at almost every reknown shoes shops in Kuching already, can’t stand the hunting anymore.

CNY coming soon… Have a bit of CNY mood now. Will start baking cookies this week and next week.
