Not everyone eat Petai because of its bad smell, but for people who like it, they say Petai “Yummy!”. It is the same like why western people doesn’t like Durian while Asian People can’t live without it. Not to say so far away, my home already have a very good example to show the difference. My eldest and youngest brother hate Durian and Petai very much, while we love it very much.Keke. There were few times my mother offers RM50 for each of them to eat a piece of Durian or Petai, but, they just refuse it without any hesitation. They said, it just like people eat “shit”. Haha.
Actually Petai is very healthy for us. Some research showed that Petai contain a type of Protein that known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier! 
It also stimulate the production of hemoglobin in blood, reduce the blood pressure & stroke, boost brain power, overcome constipation, relief heatrburn etc. It also can be used externally. Before reaching for insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of petai skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling, irritation and itchiness.
When compare it to an apple, it has 4x protein, 2x carbohydrates, 5x vitamin A & iron, 3x Phosphorus and 2x others vitamins & Minerals. Since Petai is so healthy and help us to prevent substainal number of illness, so, for those who doesn’t like Petai must have a try on it and make it a MUST to add in our daily diet.
“A Petai A Day, Keeps the Doctor Away”

As we all know, technology is advancing faster than any ordinary person could even catch up. Especially in sense of really owning the latest or update tech gadget. Prices for tech gadgets deflated and depreciated day by day and prices for gadgets may had already decreased just after a month introduced into the market.
Well, i’m not about to talk about the advancement of technology. Rather i would like to mention bout some of a few tech gadgets revolution that is becoming obsolete because of the advancement of technology and the advancement of handphone evolution.
The BIG LOSERS
Walkman/Discman/Mini Discman & even the MP3/MP4 Player
i will cut the crap, by not even mentioning bout walkman or discman or so forth, as those are really obsolete gadget.
Discman kena saupei a long time ago…. Last time selling for a few hundred.
now who really need these gadgets, since even a low end handphone already has a built in mp3 player??? some may say that the built in mp3 players in handphones output quality still incomparable with a dedicated mp3 player. While nowadays, handphones manufacturers/brand had already focused on manufacturing handphones with high quality players & speakers to provide a high quality output. The marketing focus for most phones are even focused on their ability to provide hight quality output…. Now… WHO NEEDS A MP3 PLAYER???
My iPod sits in my drawer for like 3months ady….
iPod Nano
And this is the N81 with dedicated buttons for mp3/video playback functions
The House Phone
Haha…. who still uses the house phone ar?????
now Maxis got wat family plan la. DiGi got “I will follow you”. Celcom got “Who Says they got the widest coverage?”. Practically saying, the house phone fixed line is jus for providing a line for our broadband usage. Some dont even have a fixed line anymore, since wireless broadband is at large, and WiMax technology is jus around the corner.
The Camera
Not talking bout the tradisional film camera(This was killed off by the digital camera). Should one day, camera phones have image sensors and processors as big as digital camera has. Prolly by then, digital camera is becoming obsolete as well.
The mobile phone industry has been rocked by a wave of revolution when camera phones was introduced. From the beginning introduction of 0.1-0.3 megapixels camera on handphones, till today’s whopping 8.1 megapixels camera phones… i would say thats a big big advancement.
The upcoming SE model C905 with an impressive 8.1megapixel camera, with face detection, auto-focus, xenon flash, image stabilizers, vid recording at qvga 30fps, etc……..
Although the picture quality of camera phones is undoubtly incomparable with digital cameras. Due to the size of the image sensors, processors & the material of the lens itself. but at times, at the street, in shopping malls, or anywhere you can ever imagine, we can simply detect someone holding a CAMERA PHONE taking pics. rather than having a digital camera or even a bulky DSLR.
Camera phone’s mobility and compact-ness simply offset the feature of the digital cameras or the DSLRs. since – WE DO CARRY OUR HANDPHONES IN OUR POCKET AROUND EVERYWHERE WE GO. even into the toilet. Now do we carry a digital camera into the toilet?
Compact Digital Camera
DSLR
The tradisional PDA/Personal organizer
The new models of PPC (pocket PC) now always comes in with a phone. Or izzit, they merged the handphone with the PDA. becoming a “PDA phone”.
The Tradisional PDA VS The New PDA Smart Phone 
Most PDA manufactures had now change course into manufacturing PDA phones rather than jus a PDA. example: The thing is, now i got 2 pockets on my pants, 1 side put my wallet, the other put my phone. Now where should i put my tradisional PDA?? Thats how technology revolution changed the world….. such simple idea simply jus came out from our daily convieniences.
Radio/Calculator/Personal Organizers/Calenders
Handphone platform had managed to stuffed in some of the major useful gadgets which made the handphone having a more variability of usage.
The Electronic Dictionary
Haha…. Got Nicholas Teo as ambassador for Besta wo 
though electronic dictionary is still a must have for many students and weak language/vocab users. The electronic dictionary’s function is emulated by dictionary softwares and java programs. Which is compatible with most handphones. Handphone users can easily acquire the use of a dictionary just from the same gadget that they use to make calls.
Not to mention, the latest electronic dictionary like the one shown in the pic may cost up to a premium price of RM1500. Why pay more??
Joining the Losing side in years to come
The TV
Cant fully compare and substitute TV la. but portability is a factor…
especially when we have handphones like
Laptops
Who knows when laptops becomes obsolete?? Laptops are becoming a common gadget nowadays, and its a common scene seeing peoples using their laptops at cafes, librarys…
Here’s a PDA phone which is running on Windows Mobile 6.1.
When portability matter, gadgets gets smaller and smaller, a few different gadgets got merged into 1 all in one powerful device.
PDA phones had become a common phone with computer abilities. Although limited, but with the advancement of technologies. Who know one day, it may replace the Laptop.
GPS devices
As seen on the picture, a GPS navigation device in a car. When built in GPS receivers are a common technology. We can simply carry around our handphone as a GPS device.
Wanna get a GPS?? Why not jus get this:
In your car, its like this:
———————————————————————————-
There’s virtually no limits for the evolution of mobile phones.
These small little handy gadget has experience major developments and changes during the pass decade, as communications proved to be one of basic needs of human.
The latest phones with massive functions & capabilities may turn out to be a luxurious good to own in these days, but certainly had not shown its full potential for a full stop.
Rather than getting 10 gadgets for 10 functions. Why don’t jus get a handphone??
Just my 2cents ^_^v

Yeah..i am finally come back to my home sweet home after 8 days working at Kuching, Sarawak. Today, my flight depart on 11am and landing on Peninsular Malaysia around 12.45pm. Then, go shopping at duty zone in KLIA, bought some chocolates and finally took taxi back Ipoh at 1.45pm. After a long journey, eventually, i reached home at 5pm. Then, have a sequence of rubbish talk with unclechan in phone. After that, i begin to show my KUNGFU at kitchen. Ngek Ngek Ngek. I’m thinking to surprise Mum and Dad with a table of delicious dishes for dinner when they come back from work. Ngek Ngek Ngek..
Since I have bought some aunty stuff from Satok Market (a famous Sunday Market at Sarawak) such as 1kilo raw kolok mee, salted fish and petai. KEKE. So, i am going to cook my dinner tonight with the raw materials which I “xin xin ku ku” bought from the other land separated with South China Sea.
Have u ever ate Kolok Mee before? In fact, this mee only can be found in Sarawak, but, unclechan just told me that Kl also sold that kind of mee. =.=. Whatever lah, Sarawak Kolok Mee is the most original 1. I have learned some recipe from colleague at Sarawak and this is my very 1st time to cook this Kolok Mee. HUH, can u believe, it is as delicious as i eat at Sarawak..my parent rate me 7 stars?! keke.
Ingredient needed:-
5 onions.
300g pork
Soya sauce
Cooking Oil
Sarawak Pepper Powder
600g Kolok Mee
1. Cut the onions into slice.
2. Chopped the pork into small pieces, loosen the kolok mee and put it aside.
3. After preparation of all the ingredients, add in some cooking oil into wok. When cooking oil is hot enough, add in the onions and fried it until golden colour, then, put it in a bowl aside.
5. Pour in some cooking oil into wok again, wait until it is hot enough then add in the meat. Fry it until golden colour, add in a pinch of salt and mix it. Then, take it out into a bowl and put aside.
6. Now, prepare a wok of water and heat it up. When it is boiled, add in the kolok mee.
7. Stir well the kolok mee until it is soft.
8. Take out the Kolok Mee (without water) and put it on a plate. Then, add in the fried onion, sufficient Soy sauce and stir it well.
9. Add in some Sarawak Pepper powder and mix it.
10. Finally, put the fried meat on top of it. Dang Dang Dang… It is ready to eat!
See… Isn’t the steps are Easy? It taste better if you add some Vegetable (Sawi) or Cha Siew on it. ( I do not add in bcoz no stock in my fridge )
Chiang Chiang Chiang.. This is my surprise for my parent for today dinner. Besides the main actor tonight –> Kolok Mee, i also cooked Sambal Petai (mum and dad favorite dishes) and Yellow Melon Soup (My Favourite) . This is the first time they try Kolok Mee, because they never been Sarawak before. Luckily, my Kolok Mee give them a good impression. Clap Clap Clap. After 1 week didnt accompany them, I must treat them good good and eat big big. KEKE.
Show off my side dishes 1st… hehe..
