Kuih Sarang Semut : Thank God it turned out good.

Very rarely, mistakes make better outcome. But hey, this sarang semut made it to the rare list. Omputih panggil honeycomb caramel cake. The mistakes : accidently put extra butter and extra condensed milk in the batter. The outcome: extra moist and extra ‘sarang’ texture, and fairly sweet. Thank God.   The simple formula A= 1 cup sugar + 1 cup hot water + 100g butter Heat a cup of sugar until caramelised. Then add a cup of hot water. Be careful. It caused “firecrackers” in the pan. Keep stirring until it dissolves to be a caramel syrup. Put aside for a while. B= 4 eggs + half tin of condensed milk + a cup of wheat flour + 2 teaspoons of baking soda + 1 spoon of vanilla essence. Break the eggs in a bowl. Stir. Add condensed milk. Stir. Add flour. Stir. Add baking soda and vanilla essence. Stir.   Then pour A into B. Stir the mixture. Leave the batter for an hour. I did this on a traditional stove with fire. Steam it for a 45 minutes up to an hour, medium heat. Che

Pekerjaan Seorang Ghostwriter

Konteks ghostwriter di Malaysia ni agak luas kerana secara umumnya ada yang menganggap task social media manager di bawah payung ghostwriter Malaysia.  Sama juga dengan digital content writer, bagi mereka itu semua di bawah penulis siluman, kerana teorinya jika tiada siapa tahu nama pengarangnya, siapa penulisnya, mereka dianggap ghost.  Jadi payung ghostwriter Malaysia itu luas skopnya.  Ghostwriter sebenar ialah author yang tiada nama untuk sesebuah buku. Nama author pada buku ialah nama orang lain, namun sebenarnya ada ghostwriter yang mengarang buku itu. Memang tiada kredit untuk ghostwriter.  Kadang-kadang ghostwriter menulis untuk speech, magazines or journalism copies. If dia tulis untuk social media, marketing or advertising pieces, kita boleh panggil mereka copywriter. Walau apapun terms or label, you still need someone to write for you, atau you rasa ghostwriter diperlukan, boleh dapatkan servis saya. Kalau tak ambil dengan saya, nak tanya je pun boleh. Saya faham, kadang-kad

Women In The Clouds Of Climate Change

 In rural areas, the women wear many hats for a household chores such as cooking, washing, farming or harvesting. Their lives already difficult as it is to secure clean water and food for daily consumption.  Hence, climate change hit them harder as they depend on natural resources to provide for their families, albeit horrendous living.  Flood or drought kills their source of livelihood, both food for consume or source of income. To restart, they need money and to regrow their crops, need time.  While gearing up again from post natural disaster, the impact is harder on women to work perhaps double the effort to supply for their families. The impact of climate change on the indigenous women health and economy are paramount. Clean water, sustenance from small agriculture or forest nearby and rearing livestock are their main sources to continue cycle of lives. These are essential to them. Their cries are not amplified enough. With limited access to information, their awareness are deem lo

10 TIPS To Stay Mentally Well

 I made these posters about mental health in 2 different vibes.                                                                Mental health (Poster 1) The idea behind the poster is to give it a positive vibe so that those who see it are inspired to live a healthier lifestyle.  Hence, the vibrant colours and the images of hobbies and feeling relax.                                                                 Mental health (Poster 2) The concept of the poster is to tell them at first glance, "We feel you, we feel the same, and we want to get well too." Hence the ill teddy bear and still hopeful to get better.  #mentalhealth #kesihatanmental #socialresponsibility

Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery : Not Just About History

Sometimes you want to go out but you are so bored with shopping malls and want to do something different. Now here is the place that you should consider to visit if malls are not your outing spot for the weekend. Check out  Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery and I promise it is not a mundane place. Plus point, it is FREE entrance! Can walk in, no longer compulsory to book prior to visit. Only for group booking of more than 20 pax are compulsory. There are 6 galleries to observe and the venue is children friendly. They even have children’s gallery. What you need to know:- §  Though you can walk in, still need to register there. §  Parking is RM5. You can still go there by LRT Bank Negara or KTM Bandaraya. Though the walk seems to be bit far in my opinion due to a bit hilly pave for 10-15mins walk. §  A quick spot check on your bags/ hand carry. §  You cannot bring bags in the venue. There are free lockers to put away the bags or just leave it in the car. §  Probably spe

Flower Therapy : How flowers tinge your emotions?

Flowers are always delightful to see, smell and touch. Imagine a garden of flowers that gather plenty of species, with green scenery as background. The various colours of fresh flowers bloom before the eyes. Naturally we smile. We awe. We appreciate. The nature somehow provide us calm and happiness. If we go to tulip fields, with colours of yellow, white, pink and purple serve in front of our eyes, we might have the urge to spread our hands and twirl, or feel like running thru the field freely, feeling light and easy.  What is it about flowers that can turn our hearts feeling calm and bliss? Being around nature have benefit us with pleasant feeling. The colour and the smell of flowers, even the shape and texture of flower, once we touch and feel them, can stimulate positive emotions.  That is why candles and aromatherapy have scents of floral fragrances. Floral scented in home’s ambiance does improve our mood, feeling relaxed and less anxiety.  If we go to hospital, we can see that peo

Motivational speech - Health is Wealth

 “I can’t do this anymore.” In such a busy life, at one point of moment do we say these words at least once? What happen if we say too many times? If you let your body spiral down with feeling tired, without so much giving yourself a rest, you’re going to take a toll on your health. Work is good. Overwork is not.  You may think this is temporary but if you don’t give your body and mind some time to “switch off” from doing endless work, eventually you have to deal with burnout. It may not be seen at first, but over time your energy depleted, you feel very exhausted and slowly building up stress. Your work quality plummeted, your motivation rolling downhill. Soon, your life becomes disrupted and unbearable. As much work is important, health is paramount.  “I can’t do this anymore.” You say it again. Your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing are interwoven with the underlying importance of health. You cannot do work if you down with fever. You cannot do work if you pent with build-up

Digital Marketing Malaysia

Why is digital marketing is important in Malaysia? I share secara random dan santai je. Sebab utama ialah murah berbanding traditional marketing like advertisements in television and billboard.  In fact, the most efficient, easy and far reaching to potential customers memang menggunakan platform media sosial. I believe almost everyone at least has one social media account. So if nak reach customer baru, digital marketing memang marketing 101 bisnes kena ada.  Nak maintain customer pun senang dengan regular engagement dalam social media.  Announcement, promotion and community reach pun can be done formally in these social media.  In fact, nak say sorry pun can be laid out in these mediums. Boleh consult dengan saya for FB and IG postings. Boleh consult saya juga for copywriting.  Not going to deny, digital marketing in Malaysia has been good in running the show with the rest of the world. 

Super Saigon - mission to satiate my craving for a bowl of pho

 Quite a few times I went to Super Saigon in TTDI for its delicious pho and iced coffee. I always ordered these. After Covid, I forgot about this place and one of these days, the memories of having hot beef noodle soup came clouding in my head. It had been years.  One day, when my friend and I were in Jalan Semarak KL, we thought of having lunch in some restaurant around. Vietnamese pho came to mind again.  When I ‘googled’ the branches… Yeay! There is one in Ampang and it is around 15 minutes away.  Since we went on Sunday, parking was not a hassle. This was our first time eating at Super Saigon Ampang and we loved the ambiance. The place is bigger than the one in TTDI and less crowded. We loved the feel of it already. I ordered the long craving of pho. I thought I wanted iced coffee but there was another drink of coconut iced coffee. Since I like to try and explore new taste, I ordered the drink. The pho taste was consistent as to what I remembered. Some restaurants they lost touch o
