Shooting Of MyWatch Chairman

The chairman of the anti-crime watchdog, MyWatch, R. Sri Sanjeevan,was shot at close range at 4.30pm on Saturday in Negeri Sembilan. At the moment he is in critical but stable condition.

A special task force has been set up  to investigate the attempted murder but this has been met with some cynicism. This is probably because Sanjeevan had been  trying to expose police corruption and their links to the underworld. Sanjeevan had complained hours before he was gunned down that he received news that 'a cop had told some syndicate fellow that he would get them firearms' and planned shots to be fired at his house to scare him and his family.

What's Buzzing? Sago Gula Melaka With Fresh Coconut Milk

I  made sago gula melaka the other day and it tasted really nice. Recipe is quite straightforward. I boiled  150 gm of sago  in around 600 ml of water at first but I found it a bit too thick so I added  more water to it. I boiled at lower heat until the sago was transparent- took around 15 min. Many recipes in the internet suggest filtering it - I did  not do so but yet it still tasted nice with the gula melaka and fresh coconut milk.

The gula melaka was made in the ratio of 1:1 for gm and ml - in otherwords around 200 gm of gula melaka in 200 ml of water for example. I boiled   till all  the gula melaka had dissolved. Some people use less water so the syrup is very thick but it seems like what I have done so far is okay. If it gets too thick, it could stick to the pan making it difficult to wash.

All of the above  were left in the fridge for some time to cool. Then when ready to eat,  cold coconut milk was first added to the sago before  the gula melaka.  The fresh coconut milk can be  bought from the Kampung Simee market at RM3 for 500 gm.

I got a bit of diarrhea here though so I am not eating much of it today!

What's Buzzing? - Ice Cream With Cake

There was a discount for the pound cakes at Tesco the other day so I tried out some ice cream with the pound cakes - kind of indulgent but nice.  The marble cakes tend to go well with vanilla and chocolate syrup ice cream.  I also tried King's F&N Chocolate Chip ice cream with the chocolate pound cake.

What's Buzzing? - Is Coconut Milk Good For You?

This has always been a big question mark. It appears that it does have some ability to boost brainpower but yet it could be bad for the heart. So it has to be taken with some caution.

I was making cendol a couple of days ago but somehow the cendol (called Afdal Cendol) I bought from Tesco Ipoh did not seem to taste so good - so will be trying to make  sago gula melaka soon instead.  Afdal Cendol sometimes tastes ok but sometimes it has a smoky taste. It seems others have complained about it as well. Anyway I have poured away the liquid it was immersed in, soaked it in water and put in the freezer. Hopefully the smoky flavour will go off after a while.

Reflections: Turning To God

Thank God for the blessings we have. Pray for peace.  Turn to God  - even in the darkest hour.

What's Buzzing? The Best Free MMORPG Games Released In June 2013

Last month three of them were released - Neverwinter, Marvel Heroes and Rift.

I did not  play much of Rift as its specs seem too high for my system.  Have been playing quite a bit of the other two and so far they seem to be pretty good.

Marvel Heroes is action packed but looks like it is still in its beta stage - very little character customisation at the beginning.   You could see many of the same looking superheroes running around in the game. Still, I had a lot of fun playing as Hawkeye.

  As for Neverwinter, I did not like my first class which used a big sword - I deleted and started a new one called the Guardian Fighter (using a sword and shield) which was more enjoyable.

Both games are worth checking out.
