Honey, where are you?

Present - got all the basic equipment needed, plus I'm takin over me Pa business. Got few hives already. So now the objective was to expand the number of hives and relocate for better honey production ... and makin DIY honey extractor if possible.

Knowing my Bee

Apis Cerana - small, easier to spot the Queen and don't need to buy. Plus, that's the only kind I've found here, might as well call it natives bee of the area.

from left - workers (2/3, female, sting), Queen (rarely sting), male (1/3, not)

U would think its easy to spot the Queen by way of its size, U have no idea.

How exactly are U gonna spot the Queen with all the bees keep moving about the hive in huge numbers plus having to wear the veil for protection? every time the hive is open, I just hope the Queen doesn't start the swarming.

now for the expansion, I need to either acquire wild colonies or divide a strong colony by re-Queening process. The later was some advance stuff I dare not try for now.

Location, location, location.

whats important was it need to be close to plantation with flowers, fruits and nectars, close to water source for cool down and easy access area. The hive box need to face the sunrise and safe from enemies (wasp, ant and parasite). That's the major enemy.

additional research regarding preferable plantation as farmers around here already favor palm coconut compared to coconut itself. Starfruit, pineapple, banana maybe . . .

safety issue regarding the placement, it does not endanger people, or chain animal.

Records

1. Health of the colony - Queens health by the pattern of the egg, strength of the colony by its number.

2. Harvesting cycle - tips from me boss, around 6th day of Islamic month calendar.

3. Location - for study of favorable plantation.

Harvest

this is where I need those honey extractor. traditional way of extracting honey destroy all the honey_contained_wax by pressing it by hand. with the extractor, the honey would flow while the wax still intact with the frame.

honey extractor for 330 in US dollars, damn its expensive.

this mean less job for the bee and all the workers would only focus on collecting nectars, and faster, richer honey cycle.

so long me Boss still live, challenge would be easy I guess. Need to contact people from Mardi la for some assistance regarding any improvement, or to acquire the extractor.

more knowledge online, find it at Beesource.

Hijau_ness

non political post. associated a lot with  environment friendly technology, old forests and veggies. satu kaler tp versatile.

not all natural are good. if it kills, it will kill...

Penjagaan Mata

terkadang aku kesian tgk family members yg asal mata jelas, no need for spec and all then bebaru ni jumpa mata jd 4. power kecik je pun, lg kesian kalu sebelah je blurry. kesan duk depan pc lama sgt katanyer. nak treatment laser mahal la plak kan.

aku alhamdulillah la walau duk seharian ngadap, main game lak tu still berfungsi sebaik nyer. nak kata penjagaan x pasti lak. genetic? ada je family yg lense tebal gabak, dulu la tp.

kaitan ngan HIJAU? dulu terbaca bila mata penat, terasa panas/rimas je buka mata, means dia minta break la tu. stop keje kalu bleh, tengok benda HIJAU di kejauhan (diulangi, DI KEJAUHAN) and tido. all according to severity penat nyer mata tu la.

focus pada lens and muscle yg pegang lense tu (not tagged)

Rabun, jd bila muscle yg pegang tu x dapek nak nolong stretch or kembungkan lens tu berdasarkan penggunaan (jarak jauh atau dekat). teori ak, sumer muscles are trainable. means quality muscle tu boleh meningkat (body builder) or menurun (BMI dr 21 turun 19 je). hok menurun tu pasai dak jaga badan lg dah. dah nama nyer muscle training nyer repetition, repetition la. dok pandang jejauh, then pandang yg hok depan mata, or yg halus ke. ULANG ikut sukati.

tp ak x pernah rabun so ak x tau camner result dia ... x pernah dapat specimen yg sudi.

Hutan Hujan Khatulistiwa

kadang tgk dokumentari hutan2 kat oversea nu, scenery dier punyer la cantik. tu diorg nyer, kita nyer sendiri ada hargai la. xpun nikmati je pun jd. rasa beza tarik nafas dalam2 kat hutan ngan kat laut then kat jalan yg tgh jammed pack.

dapatkan feel dia dari lagu ni skit

campaign love ur forest - pd aku, lepas aku habis menikmati khazanah hutan tu nnt, lantak depa la nak kasi gondol satu Malaysia ke, janji lepas aku habis. 

nak kata bila gondol, anak2 akan datang akan merana? 

I'd say, human are highly adaptable to lotsa kind of environment, they'll survive...

 Love ur Veggies

newbies - makan sayur campur.

intermediate - ulam-ulaman, even yg pahit.

masters - ada kebun sendiri, dalam tu pelbagai jenis sayur ade (not for mass production).

contohi Jamie Oliver in his cooking shows. even kat beranda kecik pun leh tanam kentang la...

and org tua yg aku kenal umur 83 tp gigi semua still original, penuh lg tu. seingat aku sayuran dia makan mau ada setengah pinggan gak la setiap kali makan tu, jenis pahit yg cuma direbus then tambah garam je sikit.

Books by Big Bad Wolf - trying to educate its minions.

my first book was muqaddam, hoping the last to be that 'One'. 

for study, long life learning, for entertainment, and even for business . . . cheit!

as a substitute of sleeping pills (World History), bulletproof (only in movies) . . . also cheit!

the misuse, the abuse of it.

-------------------

dream of having home library, full with book of knowledge, not just fictional junks. but be warned, that would be considered prone-fire-hazard.

books - property or liability?

7th to 16th Oct, there's still three days left. with 75 to 95% discount, no wonder they use boxes to the cashiers. the Wolf's event for this year held at Maeps within Mardi within UPM Serdang. looks like its gonna be yearly event . . . hopefully. 

'bookshopaholic' when there's even few books haven't been read. one reason its getting postpone was the language its used, kinda classic literature. but then why bought it in the first place ain't it? that's the life long learning process.

need 2nd round to cover every inch of the Hall A Maeps.

Purgatory Kabuki - graphic novel by Yasushi Suzuki . . . awesome wooo

books supposed to be in will. thus mean its a property

why MANGA???

Why, I wonder?

Emotion, jokes, philosophy, knowledge, art and even moral lesson all in one. 

Plus ada bahan bantu mengajar lagi.

The way I viewed novels, manga/comic and animation was its dimension. 1D, 2D and 3D respectively. 

Novels easily bored u off while the anime leave nothing for our imagination. 

Even more disappointing bila voice actors doesn't really up to my liking.

Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue.

still a draft but just wanna post it...

a bit of a history here 

Masa sekolah rendah dulu aku dikira berbakat gak la melukis, hanya melukis . . . mewarna tu tak berapa significant sangat bila compare dengan member lain. Insiklopedia dinosaur jadi rujukan, memang hebat la drawing scenery tu tapi bila kena siap kaler . . . why does it have to, xleh ke kalau hantar as monochrome, black & white ke?

Secondary ngan Matrik lak focus on perfecting human body figure, athletic body, fighting scenery and nice pose. Bout now getting familiar with ballpen, dah hari-hari pakai (improvement what). But still something missing. When the limbs there, the body is there, couldn't quite make the face. So jadinya whether its beheaded or wearing a mask, usually the first... This is the time references cames in bundle, got manga, komik remaja and local artist - Puppetteer (Velocity . . . and few more x ingat ar) and Rugby World Cup 2003.

artwork to be uploaded in due time . . . 

Gothic-ly rempit!!!

Zaman U lak dah malas. Most sketches were purposeful, mechanical and lifeless.

New favicon der...

Best Melee Attack Ever 

Tiket tuk aku join team explorace time Pesta Konvo, tranquilizer tuk otak/minda (??? - maybe vaksin utk otak beku), and among few other things yg aku harap x hilang la skill tu bl aku tua. Start playing masa 2nd year, lookin at the rules nampak cam senang. 

"Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3X3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusive."

give it a try...

First of all, this tutorial wasn't perfectly gonna help solve every puzzle there is. The steps level differs by its difficulty. And when the logical steps all runs out, it goes to assumption route, one assumption only preferably.

Just like chess board, mark the columns with numbers of 1 to 9, and the rows with alphabet A to i for easier pemahaman especially for newbie/noob.

1. Fill with number that really fit logically in manner of order, systematically - lets start with no. 1. just look at no.1 available and see if there's a blank for another no. 1, then go for no. 2 when there's none of possible no. 1 to be fill left. This is a looping steps (repetition) for each number up to no. 9. Most of the puzzle require me to go twice for this step before moving on the steps ladder. Golden line represent those row or column was occupied for that particular number.

break into columns or rows of 3.

   1.1. Baby steps, take any 3X9 row (A1 to C9), or 9X3 column (A1 to i3). In this case, G7 with 9. It's
   actually flipped L. G1 to i9 with cross section of A7 to i9.
   1.2. Combination of two 3X9 to 9X3 (a T or t or L or flipping L). Urgh, its so hard to downgrade. Try
   to understand the step on how I got this 5 based on the line.

  

   1.3. The whole puzzle. E1 to be filled with no. 1. Grey Area represent area with possibilities of no. 1.
   This sub-step also applicable within 3X9 or 9X3 boxes. I call this "The Grey Area Backfire" hahaha... 

   Case study box 3X3 at 9 o'clock. Gold line 1 to 3 are as usual. The Grey Area happened bcoz of gold line
   1 and gold line 3. As Grey Area 4 represent no. 1, so jadi la gold line 5 tu. Cara ni boleh di pelbagaikan lagi
   like when there's straight three number in one box of 3X3.

When there's no more, that means we're stuck. Next step ni yang banyak makan masa. Pasalnya we got to look trough EACH blank that's left, and that's step 2.

nama gambo ni pun aku bagi nama "STUCK"

2. Cross section within 3X3 box with row and column of each blank. Puzzle di atas hanya sebagai rujukan for 2,6 and 7 still probable.  Because of its time consuming, most of the time I skipped to step 3 (in fact this puzzle really hard to apply step 2).

3. Assumption route based on situation. Not just some random guess, main letak je memang x dapat la. Pick a number among the least popped or the most. Then find two Grey Area that usually correspond to each other. Here was the no. 2 and its assumed position.

Lastly start the loop all over again until u done. Kadang tu berhari gak la nak siapkan, x dapek "lightbulb" lg. Or just plain lazy.

then voilla - siap!

Still figuring what that 7 in a ring was about . . . can't seems to recall, padahal baru je malam tadi buat. Really enjoy doing sudoku, among other things such as Rubic cubes (2X2, 3X3, 4X4, and X5) - kebanyakan dah x ingat la.

one harsh input dr member - start with puzzle yg senang nak mampos, then up the level.


Another puzzle for that big brain of yours as the end . . . 

Good Luck!!!

There won't be another entry for this challenge from me. Cukup la tu, page diorg pun cam xder update jer.

Living my Life!!!

Pembuka kata - cari lagu bakor semangat sket. Here we got Black Lab's This Night. 1st time dengor masa intro House, season 7 episode 16. Comment on FB - "tenang", asal nyer dengar sambil lalu jer. Then caught few phrases of the lyrics, looks good. Listened repeatedly the whole night with lyrics lak. Best? boleh la, pendek lak tu ... senang nak hapal nyer.

"I know I'm not forgiven but I hope that I'll be given some PEACE"

Life yg sempoi x bermakna experience kita skit, we can always take lessons from other's mistake, bukan nak amik kesempatan just menambah ilmu kemandirian hidup dikala mungkin memerlukan. "Do not worry to be kindhearted just don't forget the wolves lurking out there" - original ayat aku tp xleh pakai, contradict sangat even within the sentence. So pepandai la nak idup, rajinkan bertanya...

Bila free time banyak sangat, any tvseries, documentaries, sports yg asalnya x gemor pun leh jadi faveret sat. Glee season 2, Modern Family, Shark Men, citer sal crocs kat Mara River yg dah berulang2 pun jadi, Top Shot 2, then tambah lagi The Goodwife, hahaha tu pun jadi le. Making it worse bila most faveret tvseries like Bones, House, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Ur Ma banyak da season finale, bertambah blur nak mengabehkan masa. 

Next time I'll be braver

I'll be my own saviour

When ... the thunder calls for me

Next time I'll be braver

I'll be my own saviour

Standin ... on my own two feet

Hasilnya:- Glee 2, heard few good songs (Turning Table, Do it Right and some Rolling Stone's...still looking for the title). Top Shot 2, current technique use by law enforcement on handgun ('Mug & Plate' style da jadi oldskool). Jamie Oliver (Jamie at Home, 30 minutes meals) basic introduction on herbs, English nyer tau Melayu nyer haram xtau.

 "Do not worry to be kindhearted just don't forget the wolves lurking out there"

The tips - 

Al Baqarah ayat 1 - 5, then sambung Ayat Kursi and finish with penghabisan Surah Al Baqarah startin with "Lillahi mafissama wati wama fil ard, wa intubdu ma fi anfusikom autuhfuhu yuhasibkum bihillah"...till the end.

Baca selepas Solat Subuh and Maghrib. 

Tuk physical exercise, petang kul 1815 time for some futsal, unfortunately only until last Saturday. Ankle terple'ot makin me terpaksa pencen awal, then buat comeback bulan depan.

Nice, even with unproductive life (financially speaking), still productive in another aspects!!!

ext - nok tamboh se lagu gi. This one really layan...

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

When people run in circles its a very, very

Mad world, mad world

Sing along will ya...

Experimental Exercises - for sport purposes, my level... lol

At 5' 10" and skinny, most physical activities I'm involved with were to increase the BMI. The Reserve Army, futsal, football, volleyball and ping pong.  But now that I figured its hard to gain more, it sufficed to just settled at technicals (the skills and the extent of my physical ability).

So the new aim was;

1. Agility - quick response time.

2. Reach - jump higher, steps further on the run.

3. Fitness - stamina??? maybe letter.

4. Skills - I've once beaten by a fat old man just because of his skills. 

5. Symmetrically ambidextrous - Ryan 'the Otaimer' Giggsy as the idol, and I'm a right footer.

Basic exercise that cover 1 to 3:- rope jumping, lots of it. But I make it better, the real rope jumping would occasionally got tangled then messed up the rhythm. Ain't it better if it was imaginary, doubt the effect would differs, right??? Plus I'd say it could slim U down, increase stamina, build lower body strength and durability, and working that six pack, so long Ur posture was upright straight.

See the steps when he's on the run...

The experimental come when focusing on 1st and 2nd. Catching up to a striker (I like to play leftback), thats when I need Luffy's 'Second Gear'. My first few try really strained the muscle, not to mention the stamina and breath intake (still talking bout the play, not the exercise). A long_step_sprint on frontal sole, the heat, muscle strain and injury risk are among the issue. The exercise, one footed, imaginary rope jumping with dumbell... do 50. When about to finish don't suddenly change foot, ease it off by using both first. Hold the weight with both hands.

Foot position for better firmness

Agility, motor skills of human body parts demands active performance of nervous system and muscular system(aim no. 2). One thing that helps was experiences. It gives guideline on what to do in a mere milliseconds. Practice make perfect isn't while another phrase says nobody's perfect . . . what???

Fitness and skills both self explanatory. To me, any skills not practical on moving the game forward really look silly, stupid even. Wanna show off ? find Ur own time, alone...

Make the most out of what had been bestowed on U. Its seems unfair leaving it dead stiff when the other one was so great. Everyone got their learning curve at any field so long they make the effort. Start small from stopping the ball and passing. Then up a notch the difficulty, start shooting freekicks before doing 'firstimer' all with the aim of being precise. A high level of experimental exercise towards ambidextrous would be dribbling towards opponents, make a one-two move with right and left foot. Start with the weak one as we usually using our main foot, or the other way around...

That's it with foot sports. Next was outdoors focusing arms mobility.

Training Board... senang pakai daun pintu je, really priceless.

See that most of the exercise used the lower part. My arms got the exercise from basic PT, front support hahaha... position down, DOWNNN!!! For it to be symmetrical, wall climbing lads, and its basic training up to the fingertips exercises. For info, search Youtube urself...


Ext. - Safety guide on physical limitation.


1. Cermin diri dulu - know Ur level of stamina and strength at the time. A shock from sudden load to any muscle would risk straining the organ tissue especially the heart. Its a cliche' havin a heart attack during exercise that promise a healthy lifestyle. Beware if U consider Urself chubby/berisi/gemok...

2. Proper stretching and warm up - the exercise probably wouldn't go on for long before U start to feel pancit, cramps here and there. Makin the objective far less than accomplished.

3. Increment - slowly based on stamina level. But most Malaysian exercise only when they feel like it, when they feel fat, or its been long since their last activities.

4. Diabetic and High Blood Pressure - consult Ur doctor.
