Sport Life

Illustration: Ytc is smashing the helpless Bolt..

Assalamualaikum

I extend here Black's article on sports life. Rather than focus on just a few sport and Black v Bolt games, here are more extensive research and careful study through years of observation. Offcourse some might not satisfy with the result but the assestments were conducted as objective as possible..

Bat games:
Pingpong- 1. ytc, 2. Abang MB
Badminton- 1. ytc, 2. Black (current performance- 1. Black 2. Bolt)
Tennis - 1. ytc, 2. Bolt
Squash - 1. ytc, 2. no candidate

Ball games:
Football - 1. Black, 2. Abang MB/ Bolt/ Backpacker (share 2nd place)
Basketball - 1. Abang MB, 2. No candidate
Hand Ball - 1. ytc, 2. no candidate
Takraw - 1. Abang MB, 2.Black

Indoor games:
Chess - 1. The indisputed ytc, 2. Makcikcun/ Black
Checkers- 1. ytc, 2. N.A
Carom - 1. ytc, 2. Bolt

Martial arts:
Boxing- 1. Abang MB(official fighting), 2. Backpacker (un-official fighting)
Silat- 1. Abang MB, 2. ytc (have Belt)
Karate- 1. Abang MB, 2. No candidate

Others:
Golf- 1. Abang MB, 2. Backpacker (kasi can)
Go kart - 1. Black, 2. Backpacker
Motocross- 1. Bolt, 2. Backpacker
Bowling - 1. ytc, 2. Bolt
Snuker - 1. Abang MB, 2. Bolt
Marathon- 1. Backpacker, 2. Black
Arm wrestling - 1. Backpacker, 2. Abang MB
Swimming - 1. Abang MB, 2. Black
Tree climbing - 1. Black, 2. Abang MB/ Backpacker

We can see that Ytc and Abang MB dominates sports life nect to neck with Ytc 9 games again Abang MB 8. Black, Backpacker and Bolt followed with 3,2 and 1 game respectively. Lets analyse on the individual performance:

Ytc
Excel in bat games and indoor games. Squash and Pingpong are no match while he is the Best during peak on badminton. Tennis is just slightly better than bolt. Some might challenge result on indoor games because they do nogt know- ytc is a college player for carom while very strong in chess and checkers. Also representative of Handball (maybe you just know) while a regular bowler some time ago..

Abang MB
Good in Basketball and Takraw best in Martial arts. Representative of army in Boxing. Excellence in outdoor activities such as swimming, snuker, golf..

Black
Fantastic footballer, Go-kart and Tree climbing. I belive he has many other talents but can't put here because of lack of information. Fe excel also in some games but not really push himself such as chess thus, the skill is not being sharpened

Backpacker
Good runner- championing his organization and have physical strength (arm wrestling and free-style fighting). He can play bat games but unsincronize move with his own body movement often make him difficult to compete with others..

Bolt
Bolt at last position doesn't mean he is not talented. He is good in Motocross but unlucky to be no 2 in many sports (Tennis, Football, carom, Bowling, Snuker). Bolt is catching up with Black in Badminton and Snuker. Since he is still young, he might show his truly talent in coming years by representing our village for instance..

Some games you play I do not know so the result might not accurate. For the time being, you know who to call a CHAMP!

I'm Talking To U..!

Assalamualaikum,

Whenever I call my 3 years old daughter, I will ask her what is she doing and she will reply,"I'm talking to you". Offcourse thats not the answer I was looking for so I will rephrase my question, "What are you doing before that?", and she will reply either watching television, playing or having lunch.

No matter how many times I call her, she will still give the same answer-"I'm talking to you!". That amuse me so I purposely asking the same question again and again because I like to hear what she says.

We were also like that when we were kids, remember? We will give sincere , honest answer. We speak from our heart not our head. After we grew older and start schooling, bit by bit we were changed by our surrounding. When we speak straightforward, we always ridicule by peers. They make fun of us. So we also join the club. We are not so straightorward anymore

But worse when we become teenager. We want to be a bit naughty. if we are good, we will be labelled naive, innocent, or whatever term that initially have good meaning but being misuse to portrage a bad image. Shouldn't we be innocent?

When we become adult, it is a disaster. We forget everything. We learn so much, so we want to be smarter, look smarter, deem smarter. We use our head more and more and we forget our heart. We always look for second meaning and always negative things come first.

This world will surely become a better world if we can learn from kids. Do not bother what people say. Small things matter, small change makes difference. A split second diferentiate champion from Ist runner up. So, will you answer, "I'm talking to you.."?

and god knows better..

Bolt Biggest Secret Finally revealed!

Assalamualaikum

Could this be Bolt secret on how he manage 'eventually' to beat Ytc in badminton last Friday?

Months training, extensive preparation plus foot patch- Ytc succumb to Bolt. Ytc was playing handicap because he was not fit after so many months temporary retirement..

Bolt in joys mood after beating Ytc..

For those who still do not know- yes, Bolt is now a foot patch 'taukey'. RM 15 per pack (10 patch per pack). Whoever want can order- Bolt (Khairul) at 012-3178394

Bolt watch out! Start tonight Ytc will use foot patch too plus tongkat ali. Any commission for helping you promote the product?

Give or Not To Give?

Assalamualaikum

As you all know I always promote giving to others but when it comes to my own children, it looks that I'm not practice what I promote. Yes, its true that I limit what I give to my own children but thas is with reason. I don't want to spoil my kids with money. For me, I will give to them either money or things based on necessity, not based on what I have. If let say tomorrow, I double my income also, I will still give the same or maybe a bit more but not to double their school money

Some might have opinion that money not necessarily spoil the children. Thats true also. It is combination of a lot of factors. You might give your children a lot of money and they turn to be a very good person. On the other way, you might limited your giving to them, hence they turn to be a spoil one. But keep in mind, money is one major important factors that contribute to the problem. P. Ramlee already told us 30 years ago through his film Anakku Sazali and yet we are not learning..

However, if you think you want to continue lavishly with the money, go ahead. Its your money anyway. I respect your decision and I hope people will respect mine. I dont feel upset, I just clarify matters because some people might think that I'm miserable.

and god knows what inside our heart..

Potensi..

DAUN STEVIA PENGGANTI GULA

Tumbuhan stevia 200 kali lebih manis berbanding gula tebu

Stevia adalah sejenis tumbuhan agak baru di negara ini biarpun hakikatnya sudah lama digunakan di sesetengah negara sebagai bahan pemanis. Tumbuhan yang nama saintifiknya Stevia Rebaudiana, digunakan masyarakat Asli Red Indian Guarani di Amerika Selatan sejak 1,500 tahun lalu sebagai pemanis bagi ubat pahit.

Ia turut dikenali sebagai makanan tambahan dan herba merawat penyakit berkaitan kencing manis, obesiti, menurunkan tekanan darah tinggi, melawaskan kencing dan merawat luka terbakar. Namanya bagaimanapun mula menjadi sebutan penduduk tempatan kira-kira lima tahun lalu apabila khasiatnya sebagai pemanis yang sesuai di ambil pesakit diabetes heboh diperkatakan dan akhir-akhir ini dilonjak sebagai berpotensi menjadi tanaman komersial di negara ini.

Pegawai Penyelidik Prinsipal, Pusat Penyelidikan Padi & Tanaman Industri Institut Penyelidikan dan Pembangunan Pertanian Malaysia (Mardi), Dr Tan Swee Lian, berkata stevia yang berasal dari Paraguay, Amerika Selatan.

“Pokok renek berdaun bujur, batangnya lembut, bunga halus dan gerutu ini juga dikenali sebagai daun manis atau madu kerana mengandungi bahan yang 200 kali lebih manis daripada gula biarpun masih ada rasa pahitnya.

“Stevia mengandungi dua komponen utama pemanis di dalamnya iaitu steviosid dan rebaudiosid A. Kedua-dua bahan pemanis itu akan berkurangan jika tanaman berkenaan dituai lebih awal.

“Jika bahan steviosid dan rebaudiosid A diasingkan dalam proses makmal, maka rasa pahit dalam stevia akan dapat dihilangkan dan ia sesuai untuk dijadikan pemanis tanpa rasa pahit. Rasa pahit yang ada pada stevia kurang digemari sesetengah orang dan menjadi antara halangan utama sebagai makanan pengganti gula,” katanya

Beliau menjelaskan stevia mula dibawa masuk ke negara ini pada 1970-an dan kajian mengenainya berterusan sehingga ke hari ini, namun hanya dikenali ramai sejak lima tahun kebelakangan ini.

Katanya, stevia sudah dijadikan pengganti gula di Jepun dan menguasai 40 peratus industri pemanis manakala Korea Selatan menjadi negara kedua terbesar menjadikan stevia sebagai bahan pemanis. Di Kanada, India, China, Russia dan Paraguay, bahan pemanis itu diusahakan secara komersial.

Beliau menjelaskan sebelum ini ramai yang meragui khasiat stevia kerana kajian ke atas tikus di makmal mendapati pengambilan bahan pemanis secara banyak dan berterusan menyebabkan haiwan itu mandul.

“Tiada kajian khusus ke atas manusia dilakukan dan jika mahu dibandingkan dengan masyarakat Orang Asli di Paraguay, sukar untuk mendapatkan jawapan yang tepat kerana mereka tidak memakan stevia secara berterusan dan dalam jumlah yang banyak. Masyarakat itu memakan stevia bagi menghilangkan rasa pahit ubat saja dan bukannya dijadikan bahan wajib bagi setiap hidangan.

“Malah, satu masa dulu kerajaan Amerika Syarikat pernah mengharamkan kemasukan stevia sebagai pengganti gula. Namun, pada lewat 2008, pihak Pentadbiran Makanan dan Ubat-Ubatan Amerika Syarikat (FDA) meluluskan stevia sebagai bahan makanan yang selamat dimakan dan dikategorikan sebagai makanan tambahan dan herba bukannya pengganti gula,” katanya.

Kini, berjuta-juta orang di Brazil dan Jepun menggunakan stevia sebagai perisa makanan dan pemanis semula jadi, malah menjadi perisa makanan diluluskan sejak 20 tahun lalu. Penduduk Jepun dikatakan kumpulan pengguna terbesar menggunakan stevia bagi tujuan memaniskan hampir semua produk makanan termasuk jeruk, minuman ringan dan coklat.

Potensi stevia di Malaysia

APAKAH potensi stevia sebagai tanaman komersial di negara ini? Bolehkan ia dijadikan industri bahan pengganti gulai?

Pengarah Pusat Penyelidikan Padi & Tanaman Industri Mardi, Mansor Puteh, berkata Mardi banyak menerima permintaan dan pertanyaan mengenai stevia, khususnya selepas pengumuman kenaikan harga gula.

Namun, baginya herba itu tidak sesuai dijadikan tanaman komersial pengganti gula kerana kurang nilai ekonomi akibat harganya yang rendah, selain kualitinya yang tidak sebaik tumbuhan sama yang dikeluarkan di negara empat musim.

“Untuk mendapatkan sekilogram stevia kering, sekurang-kurangnya lima kilogram daun basah diperlukan iaitu kira-kira RM1.40 sekilogram, manakala kos pengeluarannya mungkin melebihi harga RM7 sekilogram tanaman.

“Mengikut kajian, stevia yang ditanam di negara ini kurang berkualiti kerana cepat berbunga selain perlu dituai lebih awal. Di Malaysia juga, ia biasanya boleh membesar dengan ketinggian satu meter berbanding di negara empat musim yang ketinggiannya mencecah tiga meter. “Justeru, jika ada mana-mana syarikat yang ada niat mahu mengusahakannya secara komersial untuk menjadi bahan penggantian gula, saya suka nasihatkan supaya melupakan saja hasrat itu,” katanya.

Mansor berkata, lebih baik jika tanaman berkenaan diusahakan untuk tujuan pemasaran bahan herba atau makanan tambahan dalam makanan dan minuman kesihatan terutama mereka yang mempunyai penyakit kencing manis, darah tinggi dan obesiti.

“Kita mengalu-alukan sesiapa saja yang berminat membangunkan tanaman ini dalam industri herba dan makanan tambahan. Malah, bersedia memberi khidmat nasihat, bantuan serta tunjuk ajar di samping terus menjalankan kajian untuk memperbaiki kualiti serta hasil penuaian stevia di negara ini,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Pegawai Penyelidik Prinsipal, Pusat Penyelidikan Padi & Tanaman Industri Institut Penyelidikan dan Pembangunan Pertanian Malaysia (Mardi), Dr Tan Swee Lian pula berkata, ada beberapa bahan lain yang dikaji untuk menggantikan gula, namun semuanya didapati tidak sesuai untuk dikomersialkan kerana kos pengeluarannya besar selain masalah mendapatkan bahan mentah.

Antara tumbuhan itu ialah ‘Thamaucoccus’, pokok hutan seperti Kacip Fatimah tetapi ia sukar diusahakan kerana pokok ini amat sedikit mengeluarkan buahnya yang mengandungi bahan pemanis.

Selain itu, madu juga sukar diusahakan secara besar-besaran kerana Malaysia tidak mempunyai kawasan penanaman buah-buahan yang besar seperti di Australia dan Amerika Syarikat untuk membolehkan lebah menyedut nektar daripada bunga pokok buahan berkenaan.

Bagaimanapun, tegas Dr Tan, hanya empat daripada 100 jenis stevia saja yang sesuai dengan cuaca dan persekitaran di negara ini.

Beliau berkata, stevia boleh ditanam dan diusahakan di negara ini tetapi ada beberapa masalah yang perlu diambil risiko pengusahanya kerana tanaman berkenaan boleh mengeluarkan hasil yang baik jika lama terdedah kepada matahari.

“Di negara ini, waktu siang hanya 12 jam, bermakna daun yang dihasilkan kurang terdedah kepada matahari. Namun, Malaysia boleh menuai sebanyak sembilan kali hasil kerana kita panas sepanjang tahun.

“Berbanding negara empat musim, waktu panasnya kira-kira 16 jam dan tuai boleh dibuat sebanyak dua kali dalam tempoh musim panas kira-kira tiga bulan setengah. Oleh kerana kadar kepanasan dan pendedahan terhadap matahari tinggi, maka hasil stevia lebih berkualiti kerana kandungan steviosid dan rebaudiosid A tumbuhan itu lebih tinggi.

“Di negara ini, kita boleh melakukan sistem pemanasan menggunakan lampu seperti dilakukan untuk tumbuhan seperti kekwa atau Chrysanthemum, namun ini tidak dapat dilakukan untuk stevia kerana harganya terlalu rendah, sedangkan penggunaan lampu memerlukan kos yang lebih tinggi,” katanya.
