Water supply shortage- what a shame ?

Do u remember in kampung time , is so regular to see a baldi , outside the house . Your granny use it to capture rain .

Then ur granny will use the "rain" to watering the garden , feed the chicken , wash the front and backyard , wash the car , toilet flashing .....

Beside that my granny would also bury leave over food underground to create nature fertilizer, Ofcause without forget about the bu-bu of the chicken ;)

My parents stay in condo, not much of opportunity to for my mom to harvest the rain.

But yet my mom choose to watering her Mini garden with waste water. She keep all the water she used for washing the rice , vegy, meat..... Waste water from preparing meal.

Well yet she don't own a "landed garden" but a "sky garden " there is no chance for her to bury leave over food as fertilizer.

Surprisingly the waste water contain fertilizer or moisturizer or something , I am not Chemist not able to explain to u in detail. Her mini garden's flower are so blossom , look at my rose :)

Beauty Tips: you can kept the 2nd round of water used to wash rices. Apply after cleaning the face, just like toner, the rice water is a total nature toner come with whitening function.

I am not sure actually how much they could save by practicing this.

Let's look at this in a bigger picture.

Start from my apartment , in total 10 tower. Club house , swimming pool .... Maintainers fee keep increasing. I strongly suggest the management should create a place to capture rain water for watering our garden , plants , washing the posh area , moping the lobby , window glasses , washing the waste bin ...

Rain harvesting for swimming pool usage is confirm save $$$

Why my management are burning our $$$$?

Malaysia gov has builded many park for public .

Maintaining a garden :- water usage for a huge park is a burden , fertilizer for plants is another expenses , Ofcause not yet calculate man power fee & etc. Parks with plants is expensive in the sense but should not be an issue for malaysia , due we are actually rich with rains.

What is the cost to maintain plants and gardens? especially to DBKL?

LoL watering plants with pee ?
Singapore is having a water clearing system - NEwater.
To me it is 😖.
Have anyone thought about: using the peel to watering the plants? just need a process to take away the smell but remain the fertilize , the "vitamin".

Once this announce , no one will be daring to pick the flowers, I guess so.

Malaysia a Tropicana country , full of rain supply , but we did not make use of the nature gift given and yet we are having water supply shortage issue . What a shame.

If the gov would play smart a bit , they should start educating , sharing the Eco green idea , saving tips to public to achieve higher and better result .

Green Hotel - we pay u back what u save.

Went to INTAN today , joined some talks.

Talking about green .

Heard a very good idea , which I think hotel should practice.

If u are in the hotel line , u would know electricity usage are the most "waste" expenses.

Almost all of the hotel are using the key card sensor. Was a brilliant idea, the purpose of having this key card system , one of the reasons are to swift off all of the electrical item in the room, when u leave the room and to achieve energy save.

Be honest , how many of us did remove the card when we are out ?

How many of us would replace it with our membership card ?

How many of us would leave especially the aircon on?

Why we don't border about the "waste" ?

Human behave study, many ppl actually are having a , I would say bad mentality . They would think why I hv to save when I have already pay for it ? Leave the aircon on for an hours or leave it on for 24 hours , u still pay the same amount for the room.

It goes the same to water usage. Shampoo, Tissues, TV , light .... Tower as well, would u request change of towel after every bath ? The answer is :No , if u are at ur own home. The answer would be surprisingly yes , when they stay in hotels. Although lot of hotels especially island hotels, they encourage less tower , shampoo , body bath usage but still consumers do not practice.

The speaker said : the hotel should actually encourage energy in a new way .

They should install a electricity usage sensor at each room and centralize to the management .

1st The management should study on normal usage per room. Set a normal usage.

2nd the management can read how much of electricity has been used in your room during ur stay.

3rd if u are able to use less then normal usage . The management will pay u back what have u saved.

Example : u are paying RM 500 per room per night. Include 500v usage. So the 1st day u has consume let say only 450v , and u saved 50v and this 50v = x ringgit , then the hotel will refund u x ringgit when u check out .

Below are my personal view.

Ref to the example above, the hotel can always make it as a point form. Such like membership . What ever u saved will bring deduction to ur next stay. U will pay less on next stay , accumulated till certain points can redeem a free night stay .

Maybe the point can be transfer as discount , for in-house restaurant , in-house spa ...... This will create 2 way traffic, sales opportunity to ur in-house business. Why not ?

Membership always encourage return clients, create royalty.

I think non of the hotels are having this concept, I believe if this really practice in any of the hotel, it will create good returns of publicity.

Stop calling Malaysia 3rd world country

This is not a Blog just small and short talk

Malaysia are no longer consider 3rd world country , some time I felt funny when others status Malaysia 3rd world country . Especially european. Some even don't know where is Malaysia .

When u throw this words from ur mouth , to me u are just an ignorance t, Malaysian do not live in jungle but u do ;)

When u want to upgrade ur country and pull down Malaysia as 3rd world country . Please go compare 1st those below ;-

1st Malaysia own the world tallest twin tower in the world , ignorance, what is the measurement ur country tallest building ?

2nd Millennium year Malaysia airport are given award : the world best and beautiful airport in the world . What title has ur airport won ?

3rd In Malaysia we are already using chip for our passport and ID card , are yours country still issuing u paper ID ?

4th We used auto gate to record international custom in out , u still looking forward from the mini and colorful stamping on ur passport ?

5th We have free WiFi everywhere in the city , even hyper market , long distant public transportation , hip- hop and many more are providing this service for FREE , what about you ? Suffering for high bill with limited data usage ?

6th Well we don't speak monkey language, even we are rich with tropicanal Forrest. We speak international language which is English.

The percentage of Malaysian speaking English, u will be surprisingly is actually more higher then some so call G5 country ;)

Refinished Furniture Parties

Was working in this new company for about 2 weeks. Getting familiar with the area.

Ground level of my office are occupied by a renew furniture store. The owner own 3 store all doing Refinished Furniture. Unfortunately they are major collecting office furniture. I will be more happy if they are collecting furniture for home or more on high end furniture.

This business actually catch my eyes, refinished furniture can be a very lucrative business.

I believe actually many ppl would have the same thought as I have. I actually like old items , to me they kind like releasing a smell , a "qi", a character , the older it grow , the more elegant It become.

Especially when u are talking about wooden furniture, in old days , carpenter have more choice on choosing wood for furniture , and most of them choose only the best and lasting wood to make the piece. Matching with the finest Hand craving. I smell luxury :)

Now a days many ppl are talking about creative . A piece of old , abandon furniture can and will turn into a stunning piece, if u got the creative talent to Refinish it.

Looking at those pieces , make me wonder has actually some one come with the idea to hold a Refinished Furniture parties? A Refinished Furniture TV show? Why is it not regular ?

I think the government should encourage more this type of activity. Give space for more talent to hv their platform to show the world what they have .

Beside selling , I believe this kind of activity will too encourage creativeness , culture exchange , for designer the new blood and the old blood to get the blend , idea exchange , place of inspiration .

Malaysia was one of the largest timber exporter in the earlier , in the same time we create a lot of amazing pieces - furniture or building in wood.

What do u think about Refinished Furniture ?

Aren't they look amazing ?

Would u bring me home ?

Do u wanna to start a project during your weekend After seeing those photo ?

Do you want to start investing in Refinished Furniture Business ?

Green Garden Light

As my job requested , recently reading a lot about green , Eco friendly ....

Today found and interesting page, talking about DIY green garden light project.

The more I read the more I realize actually how amazing human brains can go.

I am sure everyone knows about grow in the dark , jam jar . And how many actually though about putting all this grow in the dark in to a jar and create a light? Well jam jar are not mean to be with only honey , and spell(witchcraft) it can be recycle and this 2 match ;- stunning creation.

I was born in kampung but never have the chance to experience kampung life as my parents move to KL after my birth. I am sure is very normal for kampung kids to see firefly. But not city girl ;)

The 1st time getting in touch with firefly was a trip to kuala selangor. Never saw so many "star" floating in the air hanging on trees. I head this beautiful scene has long gone.

Anyway get back with the DIY green garden light.

Heard a lot about solar light but 1st time get in touch with grow in the dark light . Making a garden light with grow in the dark.

I use to deco my room ceiling with full of grow in the dark butterfly ;) For a city girl is not easy already for u to see butterfly therefore i really enjoy seeing them eveynight before going to bed :) ,as the eyes go heavier , they really seem flying around ;)

I am not from the green tech part . Really not able to understand how much brightness can this kind of light lighten up the space but defiantly it will look nice at night.

Hahaha it may not be able to lighten up the whole garden. If this can place along the walk way, min we can see clearly the walk patch :) Confirm taman negara at pahang needs that. Been there years ago, is so dark to walk back to the our chalet. I think castaway @ koh lipe can consider about this too . Well it is not that dark and the hotel management do ready a mini tough light as key chain. But with this idea , battery save, and Eco friendly support ;)

Doesn't limit only at our own backyard garden , can be use for housing area, next to the ramp, around children playground, swimming and etc. Stunning idea , recycle unused jam jar , energy save, deco, increase safety and visibility during night time.

Have actually some one recommended this to gov? Have actually any gov from any country are actually using this technology for walk patch ? Or to replace solar energy light ? Has any developer , hotels using this technology?

Saw this amazing photo, grow in the dark in toilet bowl ... LoL

If I have a garden , I will make a lot of firefly light for my garden. Also can be use as stepping stone ;)

Happy reading ;)
Post up some photo I get while ready those article ;)
