Once upon a time, my folks used to tell me, wake up early and u will feel real fresh b4 u headed out for work, school, or other things instead of sleeping till the sun up high in the air...

however, after i started working for like 2 weeks and 1 day... the myth had shows the truth, it no longer the beautiful air that u breath in every morning, no longer the chilling feeling, no longer fresh, clean that make u more energetic.. in fact.. today.. the air quality is getting horrible...

Like i went to work at 615am... (few years ago, when i was still at Penang) the morning air was still so chilling, so cold, so clean and fresh... when i breath in... is like giving me this new energy that keep me awake for the whole day... but now what hapen (when im in kl) the air quality is so bad, (extremely bad) with all the poisonous gas from cars and worse from the heavy vehicle... (they uses diesel) so imagine what happen to the air that i wanted to breath in every morning... it became a legend now...

Talk about the poisonous gas, i seriously dont understand, they dont do maintainance for their buses or lorries? And some cars dont be bothered as well. If we have this kinda attitude of dont be bother, what will happen in the future? What will happen to your future babies that needed to carry oxygen tank everywhere they go in order to have better quality air to breath, to survive?

Sometimes, is not the problem of the vehicles, is the ppl's attitude of treating a matter in hand, take advantange over the beautiful mother nature.. besides attitude the greed a ppl hold also contribute to the disaster that we will face soon.. destroying the mother nature, exploit what the mother nature gave and dont have the intention of returning... thats "sick"

i dont know maybe u think im insane but imagine what if Mother Earth (Gaia) is born to earth (i mean it sound funny) what will the 1st thing she will think of? Dissapointment? Frustration? or Anger? who knows she might just say, okay time off, im going to "reset" the Earth setting.... (so comes the nature revenge whipping out us - human from staying)

besides, after years and years of war, (fighting own species - which is a shame to mother earth) the accumulated effect had taken place now, - [seriously i dont mind human suffer since they r the cause of the problem] but plz u r hurting the animals that i love... pity the polar bear and the penguin....

err. i flow to far away from my original thought again, im just wandering do u guys feel the effect of breathing in polluted air at the morning... ( i hardly wind down the window to breath in the clean air... is just too yucky to do so.. hence i choke myself in the car with the window shut and the aircon off.. because i just dont use aircon in the morning....

plz bring ur vehicles, ur heavy vehicles to service... cause u r polluting the air.... [ well although here we have so called "public transport" due to certain reason is not perfect.... and instead taking one may make me feel quilty of supporting them to pollute the air..... ] well one day if im not driving... im going to take a pic to prove what i say - taking public transport is like encouraging them to pollute more...

anyway, of course those lrt and those electronic public transport r way better than "those" but still is not widely distributed.

Kami-sama Tasukete!!!!! I need clean air.
_{Oh God, help!!}

Been years i never bake this cake, this is the 1st cake attempt by me and renaye, it tasted so good, that sometimes i told ppl my Chocolate Banana Cake is much better than Secret Recipe~

Remembering renaye came to my house, destroying and bombing my house kitchen to make this cake into a successful masterpiece, and yes indeed it turned out to be my favourite cake of centuries haha....

too bad, it was old day, so i do not have nice photos taken, only a dark patch of cake if u really wanted to see... (by the time, photography never come into mi mind)...... anyway today i decided to type it out... since i discovered my old recipe book~ that i had written on... :D

6~1 tbsp of lemon juice
7~125gm of butter

9~2 large eggs

Topping:~
1~75gm of cooking chocolate
2~1tbsp of softened buter
3~2tbsp of Whipping or double cream (dont put too much, or ur chocolate will turned hard which is impossible to top on the cake)

Method:
Preheat the oven 1st~ at 170Celcius

1~Sift the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda together twice (the more you sifted he flour, the texture will be better). Stir in the roughly chopped chocolate & set aside.

2~ Mash the bananas n add in the lemon juice (lemon juice prevent the banana turned black~)

3~ Butter and Sugar in creaming method until fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time (yes one at a time, if you add it too much at a time, the mixture will turned moist and hard to rebeat till fluffy.

4~Fold in the banans, and followed by the flour and chocolate

5~Greased the cake pan with butter and spoon in the cake mixture.

6~Bake the cake for 40-50minutes or until risen at 170Celcius.

7~Leave the cake in tin for 5 minutes to cool and later turned it on the wire tray.

To make the topping
1~ Roughly chopped the cooking chocolate and doule boiled it (a bowl with simmering water at the bottom. Stir the chocolate occasionally.

2~Once melted, set aside for 10 minutes before adding in butter and cream

3~If the topping get too stif, stir in a tiny bit of milk.... and you will get spreadable glossy chocolate topping.

Ps: i forgotten where do renaye get this recipe, but i really love it so much, and i reduced the sugar fom 150gm to 100gm... since my taste bud is different from others :D i cant tolerate sweet stuff well @@''

So when I finally decided to enroll myself in Japanese language class, only to realize that I'm stuck!

Either I start all over again from Elementary... or straight away jump to Intermediate. Since I been doing self study on Minna No Nihongo text book from Chapter 1 to 28.

I called and they said I can join the Intermediate now instead of Elementary.. but my conversation still bad... (but my listening skill is quite good, since I did 90 lessons listening before text books) however, I'm still afraid if I go straight for intermediate, i might not able to follow, and if i go for elementary, Ill be dead by the end of the class of repetition as in the super basic kotoba.

I don't know, either I continue with my self learning and put Spanish on hold for.. like forever.. or go to class and start Spanish self learning....

No matter what, I must master both languages, because both of them are my beloved languages besides other 5 I already know...

Decisions Decisions....

This is my self update...
