梁文福

歷史考試前夕


一步一步來


细水长流


好了歌


太多太多


新衣哪有舊衣好


姜鄠-戀之憩


什麼樣的溫柔 才能輕撫你的傷口
什麼樣的思念 才能遷走你的憂愁
什麼樣的擁抱 才是你寂寞的盡頭
什麼樣的守候 才能被你接受

你的眼是芬芳的醇酒 凝著許多記憶的深憂
我是未曾醉過的溫柔 淺淺一嘗就不能罷休

你的眉是幽幽的港口 蹙著許多靜靜的綢繆
我是一個情感的水手 短短一駐就不願再走

別再說你能不能夠 只是問你接不接受
啊無言的你可知否 並非回憶才天長地久

Happy Easter Day!!

Easter Sunday is the third day from Good Friday.
Easter usually comes in the month of April. However, Easter Sunday can fall on any date as early as Mar 22 or as late as Apr 25.

Easter is called a movable feast b'cos the date of Easter changes every year. The reason for this variation in the date of Easter is based on the lunar calendar (moon) rather than our more well-known solar one. Easter always falls on the 1st Sunday following the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) either on or after Spring Equinox (Mar20/21). If the Full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the nxt Sunday.

Leong Kee (Klang) Bak Kut Teh

Went to Beach Road to have Dinner wif my family, the Bak Kut Teh is very nice!! Yummy =D Total cost $17 only. They are located at No.321 Breach Road.

Here's the 4 items we ordered, all tasted very nice except the "cai buai", it's too bland liao. When the claypot of pig's trotter & bak kut teh came, the soup was boiling in the heat insulating claypot. I was pleasantly surprised by this presentation. The meat served here is tender to bite, I liked that it's cooked to the extend where the meat comes off the bone easily. Yummy =D

Sword Bean ~ "Magic Bean"

Sword Bean (The Magic Bean)

Nature : Warm
Taste : Sweet
Acts on Organ : Kidney, Stomach, Large intestine
Healing Effects : Warm the middle region; push energy downward; relieve hiccup, cough, asthma, headache and pain.

______________________________________________________

Many ppl know sword bean as "The Magic Bean" in S'pore, due to the seed pod's resemblence to the blade of a sword so its Malay name is in-fact "Kacang Parang". Botanically, it is known as Canavalia gliadata and originates from tropical Asia and Africa. The Sword Bean has a close relative, the Jack Bean, Canavalia ensiformis, which originates from South and Central America.

It's the seed that stuffed inside a decorative tin can and together with some vermiculite, which it is to be grown in, the "Magic Bean" was marketed initially as a gift item for individuals to convey their feelings. By just adding water and a short wait of a couple of days, an over-sized bean seedling wakes from its dormancy and reveals the secret message on its gigantic cotyledons to its recepient.

The words were reportedly etched onto the seed using a laser beam. Beans encoded with lottery numbers or festive greetings. The bean seedling usually sheds its message-encoded seed leaves within a fortnight and is discarded thereafter.

When this plant is transplant into a large pot or into the ground to grow. The seedling will put out its large trifoliate leaves and the vine that eventually result will twine around any support it can find. Given the right conditions, the seedling will turn into a large, vigorous climber in about two months. From the third month onwards, it should produce arching sprays of red or white coloured flowers. These will form into long green and flat bean pods. When allowed to mature and dry on the vine, the pod, when split, will yield the familiar-looking white beans.

The pod and seeds of C. ensiformis

The young pods of both beans are actually eaten as a vegetable in tropical Asia and pickled in Japan. The mature seeds are a good source of protein but should never be eaten raw as they contain a toxic amino acid, canavanine, which is an anti-metabolite of arginine.

Canavanine has been found to be cytotoxic to human pancreatic cancer cells. Lectins - concanavalin A and B found in the mature seed can inhibit the absorption of nutrients by the gut. Overnight soaking of the seeds and boiling them in excess water will significantly reduce the canavanine content in them. Heating will also denature the antinutritive lectins. The soaking and cooking water should be discarded.

The seeds are also a source of urease, which is used in molecular biology. The Chinese Materia Medica documents the use of the dried seeds of the Sword Bean, Semen Canavaliae, as possessing the properties of being able to warm the spleen and stomach, causing qi to descent and supplementing qi in the kidneys.

The seeds germinate readily within a week. Because the vines are rampant and sprawling, a large trellis needs to be erected for them to climb on. Both legumes are not fussy about soil type and fertility and are relatively drought-resistant.

Give the plants plenty of room to grow - plants in row are to be spaced 60 cm apart and 90 cm between two adjacent rows. The vines are best grown under full sun but are tolerant of some shade. Provide a good base of a balanced fertiliser before sowing of seeds and feed with a flowering and fruiting fertiliser only occasionally during growth. Overfeeding with nitrogen may depress the yield of pods.

Most importantly, these plants are seldom bothered by pests and diseases.

Better Together ~ Jack Johnson


There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
But I know that they’ll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
for tomorrow night you see
that they’ll be gone too,
too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
i was somewhere in between
With only two,
Just me and you,
Not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,

Yeah It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
There is no, no song I could sing
and there is no combination of words I could say
but I will still tell you one thing
We're Better together

Wat a wk that passed

25.02.08
Today was welcomed hm by a bad news!! "how come can't access internet??"...my bro asked. After checking on all the network...conclusion...the gateway that had served us for 2yrs plus had dead!! No choice...gotta survive wif swaping cable between PCs for the timebeing (*.*)'"

26.02.08
Went to IMM for dinner. IMM...a shopping mall that i hvn't been to for a long time!! A mall too inconvenience for me lah, cos i dun like to waste my time waiting for free shuttle bus & get squeezed too. Today, JR drove there, 3hrs free parking...that means i only got 3hrs to explore there...mins the time on makan...hmm...gotta be quick...hee =P

Dinner @ a jap restaurant (AJISEN) at 1st level, I ordered their Ramen...tot it will be nice, cos the last time i try it at other outlet was nice, but was at great disappointment...their soupbase is too salty!! JR order their Don, atleast that one look & smell nicer, but i didn't try it...according to him it taste nice too.

IMM has 3 levels of shopping areas, we went to Daiso & some IT shops. I didn't see any signboard/directory near any escalator along the way, only manage to find one at 1st level. Didn't explore the whole mall, not enough time & not in the mood of shopping...will check it out nxt time (if i got a chance =P)
