Useful Tips & Update - Enzyme

It's almost a year since I prepared my drinking enzyme. It was ready for consumption in February 2009 (after six months) but I deliberately left it untouched. All drinking enzymes must be left to ferment for a minimum of 6 months, if not longer.

Fruits left to ferment turns alcoholic in the first month (when you drink you can taste the mild alcoholic content) so it is not so healthy for your liver if you are going to consume these enzymes in the long run. In the second month it turns to vinegar and only after the third month it turns to a healthy drink, people call enzyme. The longer you ferment it, the more potent it is. I only need to use a small capful of the enzyme to 1.5 liter of water and not drink it neat like a fruit juice.

I used raw organic honey with various fruits (dragon fruit, oranges, pineapple, apples, papaya, lemon ..... I can't remember what else). Using sugar is a no no as it again produces alcholic content.

See how clear the liquid is and the 3 layers of contents. The longer you ferment it, the clearer the liquid. After 3 months of fermentation, the liquid was darkish yellow but now, after almost a year, it has turned to clear golden yellow.

Bottom most layer - fermented fruits

Middle layer - murky enzyme mixed with fermented fruit residue
Top layer - clear drinking enzyme

The Strings Of Attachment

It will be another long trip away. On one hand I am really looking forward to this trip but on the other hand the string of attachment plays the tug-of-war. Want to see my little string of attachment?

Internet access may be far and few but I hope to be able to do as many updates as I possibly can especially with pictures and video clips on the life and culture of the land of snows, the roof of the world. Do drop by for some great clips from next week onwards.

McDonalds In China - Equipped With Computers

McDonalds in the past was synonymous to children but now McDonalds is targetting at a different group. Even though Uncle McDonald sits majestically at the doorways, you can hardly find children in there. Instead adults have found a hub for free online services and a great meeting place at an affordable price.

China has taken it one step further. They even have computers in their outlets where patrons can use it free of charge for a maximum of 15 mintues. And of course one has to stand. This is to discourage people from monopolising the computers.

H1N1 - Measures Taken At Airports In China

Travellers to any part of China will appreciate the measures China is taking to help curb the spread of H1N1. On arrival at the airport all passengers were advised to be seated in their respective seats while a team of medical officers boarded the plane. They wore masks and tyvek suits with digital scanners on hand. They went from row to row, not only scanning every passenger for fever but they also checked that the medical card was properly filled in so as to ensure swift communication with any passenger should the need arise. We were held up for about 30 to 45 minutes but I bet nobody minded the little delay.

Conversely on my return trip to Malaysia, it was a breeze going through the medical clearance. Actually there was no medical clearance except for a scanner just as you enter into the airport building. And if anyone found to be having a fever - all hell would break lose as everyone will be on their way to their destination. Sigh!!!

Unconditional Conditionality

It does sound a little confusing but in reality unconditionality really has its condition. All except parental love, I guess.

I question myself whether I am a practitioner or a believer of unconditionality and if all of us dig hard enough into our very soul, we have to admit that we are just mere believers and firm bystanders of being a practitioner of this sacred practice.

Many would like to proclaim that they are able to give unconditionally. Examine these few scenarios and you decide which of the two categories you fall into

1. A good friend (or maybe even your spouse) has been coming round and borrowing money from you. Not once, not twice but numerous times you parted with your money but one day you suddenly did not feel like picking up his or her call. On the contrary if your child comes to you, even if you do not have enough to give you will even go to the extent of borrowing just to be able to fulfil what your child needs or seeks. This I have seen it happening in my own family, my in-laws and friends’ families.

2. “Next week is Ann’s birthday. I need to go buy her a present. Oh no, what shall I get for her?” Every year for the past 10 years or more you never forget Ann’s birthday but this has gone unreciprocated for the same number of years. As years go by and decades drag on, especially when you have a new life of your own with marriage and family, eventually this little ritual seems less important. But a mother, who has given birth to that lovely baby will always remember that day for the rest of her life whether that now grown up girl reciprocates this deed.

3. Have you heard about the mother who eats only fish head and chicken backside for as long as her children can remember until one day when they celebrated her birthday at a restaurant. They are all now working adults, having families of their own. When the dishes arrived, the son stood up and in honour of his mum’s big day, he dished up the fish head onto her plate. Next came the chicken backside. The mum teared. She was neither angry nor sad by the son’s gesture. Her hard times of bringing up her children are over but she is still eating fish head and chicken backside. Only then the children knew why their mother ‘liked’ the delicacy of that part of the fish and chicken.

I am sure many of you will have fine examples of unconditional and conditional practices. As an energy worker many will be surprise that I am asking myself this very question. Am I? Am I not? Let us work towards being a better person by practicing what we believe in. As a baby I learned how to crawl, take my first step, run and now I can even fly. (fly kite and sit in aeroplane only lah)
