:: How To Make Tuak ::
.:. Kejoraku Bersatu .:.
Bukanlah mimpi-mimpiku
Di sini telah datang sayang paling dalam
Bawaku pulang berteman pelangi
Kamar hati ku hiasi
Biar cantik biar baru
Semuanya keranamu
Oh yang lemah kini gagah
Asal buruk jadi indah
Kerana sentuhan cintamu
Ku susun langkah melayarkan hari indah
Bersamamu
Lilin diri takkan padam
Seandainya engkau adalah sumbunya
Kaulah puteri ku dambakan
Bidadari syurga jelmaan dunia
Akan ku jaga
Seluruh jiwaku
Biarlah karam berdua
Asal kau tak terlepas
Dari genggamanku
Biar kulamar
Sahih darimu
Menjadi ratu
Beradu dalam pelukanku
Kejoraku bersatu

.: A Very Nice One :.
"So sad… I don’t want to lie people. Here is the truth; just now ukm asked me why I didn’t love her anymore. I thought when I tell her that I have someone else, she will accept it. But otherwise she cried loudly and asked me not to do that. She asked me to choose her or you, and then I told her that I choose you, honest and confidently, but then she asked me to choose her. She said she could die without me. I don’t know why.
Sad in me, I have to make choice. If so, I am so pity with her, not because I have no stand, but because feel responsible to take care of her after experienced a relationship with her previously. This is what happens in the world. What should I do? Why I am like this? It seems like I have no choice. I am so sorry. So sorry because we cannot continue our relationship.Waaa… I am seriously so sad, can somebody please help me? Raymona, I redeclared with ukm again, and we have to be friends only, not as bf/gf. SAD SAD SAD to me… WaaaAAAAaaaa…. From now on, I don’t want to be like a munafik people, lie in talking. I do not lie anymore, I told the truth in spite of bitter, very bitter. I want to cry, but no tears, my heart is crying but nobody is hearing. We plan for the best, God do the best, what happen for us, is better for us."

:: My Little Wish ::
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' 'til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small

May all your dreams stay big
(My wish for you)

Kombucha
Kombucha is a living health drink made by fermenting tea and sugar with the kombucha culture. The result can taste like something between sparkling apple cider and champagne, depending on what kind of tea you use. It's not what you'd imagine fermented tea to taste like.
It has been used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Japan for several centuries. It's from Japan in 415 AD that the name kombucha is said to have come. A Korean physician called Kombu or Kambu treated the Emperor Inyko with the tea and it took his name, "Kombu" and "cha" meaning tea. Russia has a long tradition of using a healing drink called "Tea Kvass" made from a "Japanese Mushroom".
From Russia it spread to Prussia, Poland, Germany and Denmark but it seems to have died out during World War Two. After the war Dr Rudolph Skelnar created renewed interest in kombucha in Germany when he used it in his practice to treat cancer patients, metabolic disorders, high blood pressure and diabetes.
The Kombucha Culture
The Kombucha culture looks like a beige or white rubbery pancake. It's often called a 'scoby' which stands for ' symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts.The culture is placed in sweetened black or green tea and turns a bowl full of sweet tea into a bowl full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and health-giving organic acids.
You might wonder if fermenting tea with yeasts would produce an alcoholic beverage. It's a good question. The yeasts do produce alcohol but the bacteria in the culture turn the alcohol to organic acids. Only minute quantities of alcohol, typically 1% by volume remains in the kombucha brew.
With every brew you make the kombucha forms a new layer or scoby on the surface of the liquid. These can be left to thicken the scoby or can be divided, giving you spare cultures that you can store in some sweet tea in the fridge in case something should happen to your active culture. Or you might want to pass on spare Kombucha cultures to friends or use a new scoby to start another batch of kombucha.
Kombucha and Health
Many health claims are made for kombucha but there is less research on the benefits of kombucha than there is on fermented milk products. It has certainly been shown to have similar antibiotic, antiviral and anti fungal properties in lab tests. In rats it’s been shown to protect against stress and improve liver function. There is a lot of experiential evidence from people who have been using kombucha over many years. Many of the benefits reported include improvements in energy levels, metabolic disorders, allergies, cancer, digestive problems, candidiasis, hypertension, HIV, chronic fatigue and arthritis. It ‘s also used externally for skin problems and as a hair wash among other things.
The Organic Acids
The body's most important detoxifier. When toxins enter the liver this acid binds them to it and flushes them out through the kidneys. Once bound by glucuronic acid toxins cannot escape. A product of the oxidation process of glucose, glucuronic acid is one of the more significant constituents of Kombucha. As a detoxifying agent it's one of the few agents that can cope with pollution from the products of the petroleum industry, including all the plastics, herbicides, pesticides and resins. It kidnaps the phenols in the liver, which are then eliminated easily by the kidneys. Kombucha can be very helpful for allergy sufferers. Another by-product of glucuronic acid are the glucosamines, the structures associated with cartilage, collagen and the fluids which lubricate the joints. It is this function that makes Kombucha so effective against arthritis.
Lactic AcidEssential for the digestive system. Assist blood circulation, helps prevent bowel decay and constipation. Aids in balancing acids and alkaline in the body and believed to help in the prevention of cancer by helping to regulate blood pH levels.
Acetic AcidA powerful preservative and it inhibits harmful bacteria.
Usnic AcidA natural antibiotic that can be effective against many viruses.
Oxalic AcidAn effective preservative and encourages the intercellular production of energy.
Malic acidHelps detoxify the liver.
Gluconic AcidProduced by the bacteria, it can break down to caprylic acid is of great benefit to sufferers of candidiasis and other yeast infections such as thrush.
Butyric acidProduced by the yeast, protects human cellular membranes and combined with Gluconic acid strengthens the walls of the gut to combat yeast infections like candida.
Types of Tea for Kombucha
Black tea is made from leaves that have been fully fermented. The leaf is spread out and left to wilt naturally, before being fired, producing a deep, rich flavour and an amber brew.
Oolong TeaOolong tea is half way between green tea and black tea. It's gently rolled after picking and allowed to partially ferment until the edges of the leaves start to turn brown. Oolong combines the taste and colour of black and green tea.
Green TeaGreen tea is withered then steamed or heated to prevent oxidation and then rolled and dried. It is characterized by a delicate taste, light green colour. The Japanese tea Sencha makes an especially fine kombucha.
White TeaWhite Tea is the rarest and most delicate of tea. Plucked forty-eight hours or less between the time the first buds become fully mature and the time they open. Unlike black and green teas, white tea isn't rolled or steamed, but simply aired dried in the sun, this preserves more of its antioxidant properties. White tea has about three times as many antioxidant polyphenols as green. White tea represents the least processed form of tea.
