The Revenge of the Cow

QUOTE

KUALA KRAI: A 65-year-old man was trampled to death by a cow that was being prepared for sacrifice in Kampung Dusun Durian, Dabong on Friday.

Kamarudin Mamat (pic) fell to the ground after being stomped by the cow on the chest on the morning of Aidiladha.

He died of the injuries while on the way to the Dabong health clinic.

His daughter, Siti Hajar Kamarudin, 36, said her father had spent the morning praying at a nearby surau. He also praised the nasi briyani that Siti Hajar had prepared for breakfast before the incident.

"My father had breakfast before going to where the cow was kept to prepare for the slaughter," said Siti Hajar.

"Before stepping out, he complimented my nasi briyani, saying it was delicious," she said.

Kamarudin reared five cows and 10 goats. The cow that was chosen for the slaughter was aggressive.

"Before the tragedy, the cow ran loose four times so we returned home, about 100m away, to watch the slaughter.

"Suddenly, my father fell down and had to be carried home by a few people," Siti Hajar said.

Siti Hajar, her husband and her 59-year-old mother Che Hasmah Abdul Rahmad then brought Kamarudin to the clinic for treatment. - Sinar Harian

Sound bar + AV receiver = nut job?

Matrix — Sat, 02 Sep 2017 11:37:58 +0800

I have a situation. It's like this.

Currently i have the following setup:
1. Yamaha RXV 475
2. Yamaha subwoofer dunno what model
3. 2 x floor standing speaker
4. 1 x centre speaker

As i wanna minimize and reduce the bulky ugly floor standing and centre speaker, i wanna get a soundbar. However, high quality soundbar with all the bells and whistle with multiple HDMIs and able to decode latest DTS-HD, DD TrueHD etc, don't come cheap. I have no intention of spending > RM 2k and intend to use back my subwoofer which is still good.

So my requirements:
1. Lots of HDMI ( 4 would be ideal, i have PS4, WiiU, Xbox, HTPC...already full house)
2. Decode lots of standards including DTS-MA, DDTrueHD etc.
3. Minimalistic to save space and improve appearance.
4. Re-use my Yamaha Subwoofer. (so the soundbar must have external connection to subwoofer)
5. Budget RM 2k

To find a soundbar which meets all my requirement seems to set me back RM4-RM5k...which i have no intention of paying.

So i found these:

http://www.lazada.com.my/yamaha-yas-306-71...0.0.2DxZL0&ff=1

http://www.lazada.com.my/yamaha-ysp-1600-5...0.0.eQgefB&ff=1

Both have a subwoofer out, so can re-use my subwoofer.

So my intention is to:
1. Use RXV-475 for all HDMI inputs. Enough HDMIs and can decode more standards (the soundbars above don't decode DTS-MA, DD True HD etc).
2. Connect RXV-475 output to the soundbar. So all decoded stream goes into the sound bar.
3. Soundbar plays all the decoded streams.
4. Subwoofer connects to the Soundbar instead of RXV-475
5. Soundbar connects to the TV.

Sound quality is not too great concern for me as long as it's good enough, which i believe these soundbars are adequate for the job. Not concerned about surround effects accuracy either.

Can some sifu tell me if i am crazy or not?? Will the TV signal still can passthrough like this (from source-->RXV 475-->Soundbar-->TV) Will it goes kaboom and explode???
Will i cause a nuclear meltdown???

[WTA] New ceiling fan a bit woobly. Normal?

Matrix — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 10:11:26 +0800

I have just installed a new ceiling fan, but it looks a bit woobly to me when its on. I remember the old fan also not wobble like this.

The new fan is a 5 blade KDK fan. Is it normal? Or the jalat eletrician done a lousy job???

Thinking to call the electrician, but i think he will give me standard answer "Biasa bang, memang macam tu, ~~Potong~~KDK mah"

Pls advice.

Thk you.

Why so many butthurt ifag open tered about Note 8?

My Char Siew Recipe is near perfect now...

Matrix — Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:05:03 +0800

Last night roast char siew again.

My previous weakness was getting the maltose to apply on the char siew because maltose too damn hard to apply. So added a bit of warm water to loosen up the maltose and can easily apply on the char siew. So i've managed to put multiple layer on the charsiew when roasting.

Char Siew Sauce- refined the recipe i've tested previously, now much better.

My Char Siew can safely say better than 80% of the stalls out there.

Sorry no photos, coz too hungry and sapu everything before can take photo.

Sekian.

Update Recipe:

Char Siew:

1. Use pork belly 3 layer for fatty lovers or pork shoulder for fatty haters. Or you can just use both.

2. Marinate the meat with Lee Kum Kee Char siew sauce™ overnight and put in fridge. Either put in zip bag or bowl also can lah, Suka hati.

3. Optional: Make your own blardy marinate sauce. Don't ask me how. Just Google.

Maltose Brushing:
1. Use 2-3 tablespoon of maltose. Put in a bowl. Add some hot water to it to soften the maltose, but not too much water. Just little bit.

Method (VESS Air Fryer):
1. 200-220C. Roast one side 10 minutes.
2. 200-220C. Flip and roast the other side 10 minutes.
3. Start applying maltose mix on char siew with a brush. Roast 2-3 minutes. Do it about 4 times. (You pandai-pandai lah...if char siew looks burnt, then stop lah or make temp goes lower).

Char Siew Dipping Sauce:

1. 2 tblspoon Hoisin sauce (Use Lee Kum Kee Hoisin sauce ok)
2. 1 tblspoon Oyster sauce
3. 2 tblspoon light soya sauce.
4. A little bit of dark soya sauce.
5. A pinch of salt..maybe 1/2 teaspoon.
6. 1/2 teaspoon 5 spice powder
7. 1 tblspoon Cooking Rice Wine (your char siew not halal liao...)
8. 3 tblspoon brown sugar
9. Water - adjust yourself lah. Not too much, maybe 1/3 of a glass.

Mix all the ingredient in a bowl. Pour it in pan and cook. Once water boil, stir a bit maybe 20 seconds. Then kaw-tim.

Now go and try.

Remember to take photos before you eat!!!!

WW3: IT HAS BEGUN.

Matrix — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 11:11:00 +0800

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/world/2017/...indian-sources/

NEW DELHI/SRINAGAR, India (Reuters) - Indian and Chinese soldiers were involved in an altercation in the western Himalayas on Tuesday, Indian sources said, further raising tensions between the two countries which are already locked in a two-month standoff in another part of the disputed border.

A source in New Delhi, who had been briefed on the military situation on the border, said soldiers foiled a bid by a group of Chinese troops to enter Indian territory in Ladakh, near the Pangong lake.

Some of the Chinese soldiers carried iron rods and stones, and in the melee there were minor injuries on both sides, the source said.

China's defence and foreign ministries did not immediately respond to request for comment.

The two sides have frequently accused each other of intrusions into each other's territories, but clashes are rare.

The Indian military declined to comment on the incident.

"There was an altercation near the Pangong lake," said a police officer in Srinagar, the capital of India's Jammu and Kashmir state, under which the area falls. An army source in Srinagar also spoke of an altercation following what he called a Chinese army "incursion in Pangong lake area".

The two armies are already engaged in a standoff in the Doklam plateau further east, in another part of their 3,500 km (2,175 mile) unmarked mountain border.

China has repeatedly asked India to unilaterally withdraw from the Doklam area, or else face the prospect of an escalation. Chinese state media have warned India of a fate worse than its crushing defeat in a brief border war in 1962.

The trouble started in June when India sent troops to stop China building a road in the Doklam area, which is remote, uninhabited territory claimed by both China and India's ally Bhutan.

New Delhi said it sent its troops because Chinese military activity in Doklam, near the trijunction of the borders of India, China and Bhutan, was a threat to the security of its own northeast region.

But Beijing has said India had no role to play in the area and diplomatic efforts to defuse the crisis have not made much headway.

An Indian government minister said efforts were continuing to find a way to end the standoff.

The minister, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government had no choice but to act to stop the Chinese road activity in the region because it had come too close for comfort.
