Happy Mother's Day to All the Mothers in the Whole Wide World !!!!! :D
I expect everyone to be pretty occupied at some point of the day today~! Well, I was (and still in the middle of something actually!) but I've decided to take a few minutes off to post up this entry.
This is just going to be a simple, easy, light, fluffy post. E-nough of the dramas, rumors, and debates, my dear people. I need a break. And so do you! (:
10th May : 11 AM
So. I woke up early this morning around 7, (pakat-ed with my brother last night) and decided to make a SURPRISE breakfast treat for mum! And THIS, is what I made.......... *kekeke*
*~BAKED APPLES & CREAM~*
4 green apples (remove core, chop off 1/2 inch of core & place it back to apple as BASE)
1/3 cup of raisins ->
2 T soft brown sugar -> Mix these 3 ingredients together into 1
1/2 t mixed spice ->
Sauce:
1 cup orange juice
30g of butter (cubed)
The Simple Ingredients.
Stuff the raisin mixture into the apple core.
Pour orange juice and pieces of butter over apples in a baking tray.....
Bake for 45 minutes in a preheated oven @ 180 degrees,
TADAAA!!! :DDDDD
But mine's without the cream. (cream is very unhealthy la ya?) And here's my brother's fried rice!
Don't underestimate this o, there's like minced chili padi EVERYwhere cuz my mum likes it HOT! hahaha..... q:
Later in the morning, mum taught me how to make a very, very SPECIAL, rare kuih you guys might not seen or heard before.....! It's called :
PULUT CAWAN .
This delicacy is only found in the rural areas of Terengganu, Kelantan dot dot dot... and the main ingredients are pulut, dessicated coconut, and ikan kembung (please DON'T use other species of fish. I mean, you won't die DIE, but it's justtt..... not right.). Add a pinch of salt and sugar, and there~ you go~!!!
Now THAT'S for ama... while mum also helped Eugene with the sandwiches for ama.....!
~eggies & thin slices of cucumber in between soft steamed bread~ *YUMMM!*
Meanwhile, these were the fancy things which came in between the past CRAZY week!
Went for a Japanese buffet @ Starhill; but the section that attracted me MOST was the dessert's instead! I really couldn't help it. They had both Baskin Robins AND Haagen Daaz!!
cute morsels awaiting to be picked and savored...
mochi-s in : strawberry, cream & cake | honey dew| peach | black sesame (was the nicEST!)
And that was my 1st celebration at KL. Went for dinner at Island Cafe round SS2 with Su, Dom, and Ringo. (Ringo I want the picture with flash LEH! lol)
Yesterday was a day well spent with my grandma and aunt. I went to this kopitiam (The Most Visited one in Labis) for the very 1ST time (because TOO many uncles sit there and ogle lah, "blow canons" lah, lah lah lah... EVERY.DAY.)
Peng Heong Kopitiam.
*My silly brother and I* kakaka.....
the zhao pai drink : horlick nestum & teh si
roti kahwin!!
Ha1f boiled egg; must have right?
I was told to DRINK it, not use the teaspoon! & SURPRISINGLY,,,,, people,,, it DOES tastes BETTA that wayyy~!~!~! Serious shit!
Next stop was to the RM1.90 shop. This town has a wide spread of these.
Ocean Cap is the biggest 1.90 amongst so far. OK, I know I'm lame to brag about seringgit sembilan shops here lah kay, but some stuff are real COOL if you really go explore!
For example :
1) RM 1.90 shot glass, wine glass, beer mug...!
2) Lastiks! remember THESE?! HAHAHA!!! seringgit sembilan EACH.
During primary school, I, dot Dot DOT... used tiny pieces of honey dew skin and lastik! my Science teacher's back when he was writing on the blackboard. =X the funny thing was, that he didn't realize anything until he felt the kebasahan. LOL!!! that time, we had to make our own "weapon"; (sebab kalau Beli kena Rampas, Sakit Hati!) but now kids can get em' at RM1.90 in the market. *so unfair*
Now, now, children~ DON'T JUDGE Me! I'm sure everyone has their mischievous doings during their junior times~~! q:*
a boy enthusiastically searching for the toy he wants after much persuasion done towards his dad.
3) Masks & Swords. -She did have fun. HAHAHA... *criticize lah, criticize. go on, on and on~~~
bagi critic too much you become like this.
4) Longan Jelly Candle -those candle stuff which looks damn eatable; always make me feel like buying and keeping them as a gift for those whose birthday falls on 1st of April. lolx!
And that was the very end of our sweaty but pleasurably congenial trip. (:
Speaking about jellies, mom made a jelly fruit cake as a xiu yi si in conjunction of Mother's Day EVE!!!
totally picturesque!
Next, is ___ ____ ____!!!!! :
BEE HIVE Cake!!!!!
And this is WHY it is named as such :
:DDD Just like a bee hive.
Then we have muffins,
Blueberry muffins~.
COTTON. CHEESE. CAKE. !!! *my favvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvV* <--- REALLY FEELS LIKE COTTON ON YOUR TONGUE !!!!!
O ker = Kuih Keladi. is a savory type of delicacieee~ usually drenched with black bean chili sauce! (but then it won't look good on picture so...)
The Nasi Briyani Section :
Acar Nenas
Nasi briyani tomato
pipping HOT rendang ayam in the POT!
The TVB Section :
Whenever I watch a Cantonese drama, in at least ONE of the episodes, the mother role will ask the son / daughter role who comes back after work past dinner time; if she wants to drink:
1) Soup
OR
2) Thong suei
Well, I had BOTH already since I came back! And I'm gladdd~~~
In-&-Out Ginseng Chicken Soup
i don't know what's this called, but it's goooooddd babe~! ..q:
The conclusion is, it's just simply good to be HOME.
and YESSS! my MOM was the CHEF who cooked all the above!!! (except for those that I cooked lah~)
I am feeling just so blardy lucky to have a mum like MOM! The ONLY ONE thing I wouldn't want to exchange with ANY one, OR thinggg from the whole Universe. muahahaha.....
10th May : 11.55 PM
Phewww~ I'm back. Mother's Day IS a busy day if you want it to be. If you wondered what I was doing before, my brother and I actually went around town to find "the perfect gift" for mom.
So we told some lies, sneaked out, got a great parking space, found our IDEAL gifts, got discounts also, did some wrapping and scribbling, HID the present somewhere... and made mom CRIED !!!!! !!!!! !!!!! !!!!! !!!!! yayyy..... *=S
Then around 6 PM, all family members from dad's side went to Cha'ah to this restaurant famous for cooking fresh water frogsss.....
But today, they RAN OUT OF frogs. wth! So we ordered some other rare stuff instead,
Such as ........................................................................................
wild deer,
and guess what's this?!

Fresh water turtle.
eeeee eeeee..... I neva' knew it looked like THAT! from now on, I've gotta think twice before eating it. I used to wonder HOW the "Anonymous" comment-iers who posted angry comments in my blog might LOOK like? Now I'm sorry, but I have to admit that this visual image helps my imaginations notably! =ppp
Alright children. It's gettin' late and I've gotta get up early. Leaving home at 5IVE AM tomorrow!!!
***~Good night, Sleep tight, Sweet dreams~***
p/s : I'm still drafting. Carefully. If you know what I mean. ^^
Hey, you're creating a niche for yourself. Dwell more into food and you could be a Makan / Chef host. ;)
ReplyDeletehi Cindy....wow, glad that u r having good time back home.... i was drooling when reading ur post...haha.. Anticipating for your next post...
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers' Day!
u went to jogoya issit? tell you the food there damn nice.
ReplyDeleteif u r still goin to terengganu, do hop to kemaman for their coffee. Hai Peng. damn nice oso.
missed it a lot. i wanna go back terengganu!!!
you're making all d overseas students hate you for posting all that msian food!!! *shakes fist!*
ReplyDeleteWa you mom is somewhat a cook! How come you are still so slim?/NOT FAIR haha
ReplyDeleteOh god you're making me hungry. I miss home cooked food, its so hard to find authentic Malaysian food in OZ ok.
ReplyDeleteyour food is to die for.
ReplyDeletebtw, I blogged about you.
... How the hell can you be so slim if you get to eat like that everyday??? Unfairly high metabolism... LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm food obsessed too. If you keep blogging like this all the time, you're going to be transferred to the food blog section of my bookmarks. :P
*runs off to find something to eat*
BTW, you look gorgeous in the new photos. :)
ReplyDeletehey...thanks for sharing the Baked Apples recipe. Im gonna try it this weekend :)
ReplyDeletebtw, i really like your new hairstyle. so much better than your previous short hair, u should really think bout maintaining this particular hair cut...very elegant-ish. Now im thinking bout cutting mine :P
a critic is a person, the word you were looking for is "criticise".
ReplyDeleteHey cindy, I am not sure whether you read my comment in the last post, would like to do so if you've not. I just think you should teach those uncivilized people a lesson.
ReplyDeletelast post comment :-
Hi Cindy, although I am not a fan of you, I am here to give you my support. I was pretty annoyed when I watch episode 10 where you told the public that one of the contestant insulted you mum.
This is such a childish act! Not only that, I think you're pretty alright compare to the others, for example Hanis ,Nadia and so on...
Firstly, I find them talking to much, with bad English and till now I am still wondering how the producers can aired such show.It is a disgrace. Worst, I think the producers like them a lot, always giving them the chance to come on air and speak the mind off, which is full of BAD BAD BAD BAD ENGLISH.
I totally support you on how you defend yourself towards Hanis's words on you. I too, do not find her attractive, bad spoken English, which is more like a mixture of Bahasa Melayu!!!
Anyway, I think you should really ask for an apology from the contestant who insulted your mum. Since you have the money, why not sending her a lawyer letter, asking for an apology. I really think you should do that.
She has directly defamed your mum, and you have the rights to do so. Write out in your blog, do whatever you can since you're like a superstar now :)
Always supporting you.
Can I have some of the above food? I love your new haircut :)
ReplyDeleteWah ... the foods looks so yummy!! Take care!
ReplyDeleteHaha! U were in a middle of something but u wrote a damn long post, girl..
ReplyDeleteNway, will frequent ur blog.

ReplyDeletebut i would really really love to dig my teeth in the Pulut Cawan!!
i admit that i have tried the terrapin a couple of times. despite some protest. i still prefer pork and chicken....so dont order terrapins next time...order less, kill less. :)

ReplyDeleteGiven the flamers who try so hard to convince that you're hated, I just want to let you know that there are people who support you! I love your attitude and personality. =) Most of all, I love how you treat your family members, especially your father and your grandmother!
Keep up the good work girl!

sorry but i had to write this, FRESH WATER TURTLES ARE GOING THROUGH EXTINCTION. so STOP EATING THEM!! its so not cool eating them just because they are exotic.
ReplyDeletewow... ur mom is such a good cook... =)

hi there! i was bloghoppin around.. like ur blog, cos got alot of things bout u. =)
ReplyDeleteYour mum is seriously a damn good cook!! i bet everyone elses is drooling at your post by now. btw, i'd say you look very much better in short hair compared to your previous hairstyle. and is your current one now a bob?? coz it looks really good on you! i thought of cutting it too but.. is it easy to manage? do you style it everyday or what to make it look good? some bobs are just CMI at times..
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, do you think it will be convenient for you to post the recipe (or you could email it to me personally) the beehive cake recipe? Been looking for it for a long long time. Thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteProtect wildlife. Don't eat terrapin.
ReplyDeleterich.man.daughter.
ReplyDeleteOMG Pinkpau would flip if she sees you eating the turtle!
ReplyDeletefirst of all, i think this current hairstyle rocks..very nice indeed :) u gotta keep it like that for sometime ;) hahaha. great food pics! you so damn lucky to have a mom who cooks so well ! hehe. keep up the blogging. gonna drop by now and then to read your stuff :) take care.
ReplyDeletePS -> why your first pics looked abit weird, like your face is so long. i prefer the natural photos you have like the one you were in jogoya... ;) just my point of view~
wow.... looks yummy....
ReplyDeletebtw i know i'm abit late but congrats
Hi cindy, you seem to be a much nicer person on you blog. To be honest didn't like you much in MDG, but you did win fair and square and hope you work hard to improve yourself. anyway ur hair look gorgeous, can I know what products u use on it? i have short hair but it seems flat flat flat.. =(
ReplyDeletethats one ugly cooked turtle. but i wonder how it taste like.?
ReplyDeleteHi, congrats on winning MDG. Although I didn't watch it at all, but I saw some photos, and I think you look great in them.
ReplyDeleteBe strong but stay humble as well. And oh yes! Please stop eating turtles or any wildlife animals. No demand, no killing. Thanks :)
Ive been reading blog entries about MDG and how much everyone hates you so I then decided to watch and see for myself what really happened and guess what?! I like you more than some of the contestants ie fiqa! Just thought you were being yourself but seriously, you've got to loose the erm.. accent.
ReplyDeleteOwh and the food your mum cooked and whipped up made me drool!
as a matter of fact, the water turtle is quite delicious ^^
ReplyDeleteFinally I see some "space" writting you some comments, perhaps compliments?
ReplyDeleteAt least this post, is not "destroyed" by all the negative comments.
Well, one thing I wanna say long time ago since the first audition of MDG. Haha~ I like you better in long hair!
But where got celebrities with long straight hair one. Haha.
Perhaps you can use my motto? "Speak to a few, listen to many" ~ Thats the best way to protect ourselves! Gambate =)
And you've got a sweet family, just like I do!
ur a photogenic. nice. aside frm the famous-bro-takes-my-pic thing, i think ur quite alrite. couldnt stand that Hanis-fragile thing. ur more real. *thumbs up*
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

kim ong : hey kim! 10Q for sharing your thoughts / ideas / opinions / etc. You're definitely one to look up and listen to!
ReplyDeletejenny-the-pov : ops! did i accidentally just give u a NICKNAME?!?! lol
leo raj : hey you! ha.. finally~ after the finale @ 1U. my mum's from kuala terengganu. ^^
v : DHL!
sheryl0202 : the world IS fair! just eat whatever u want, as MUCH as u WANT, but not everyday. It's all about finding the right Balance. life's too short for restrictions! ;)
leandra : yea, i agree! coming back??
pinkwhitedots : oh? okie dokes! will drop by after this! 10Q~~~
lin-lynn : hi 5, food obsess-er! gosh u REALLY went to search for food! well, 1 good tip - "French women eat to TASTE"! ;;;)
acsmvtak : u're welcome! erm, it's best if u can use Granny Smiths apples. & 10x for liking me new hairstyle! but my advice is STILL is to think TWICE, find a DAMN GOOD hairstylist, & most importantly, ask for HIS opinion on how it would look on you. good luck~!
jo-ann : thank you. changed it straight away~!
bebe : dear bebe. thank you for the loyal comments, and for being a loyal supporter of mine. (:
regarding the tragedy that insulted my mum, i'll just look back at it as a joke. cuz the insulter made a joke of herself, not me... (:
ahlost : hahaha... oh well, how how~?
eva : they sure DO!!! :D
cherry : sincerity kicked in mahhh~ hahaha!
anonymous [8:08 AM] : you're right~! wish i could share em' food with everyone
anonymous [8:46 AM] : thanks for sharing!
anonymous [kelv] : thank you. do drop by often! ;)
jhoonaun : ohh gosh, THANK YOU for its REAL NAME! & i never knew pignose terrapins are ILLEGAL to catch! =S
jessie : hi agen! its a pink dsc t-10 by Sony. but erm, unless u like the specific color they offer, or i would suggest you buy a different model? hehe...
sheon : eh the pulut cawan is damn nice i swear. u can NEVA' imagine the taste until u try it! the terrapin... i taste only ler. i didn't order, & i can't stop the killing! now YOU don't kill me! q:
joshuaongys : glad u enjoyed lookin' thru the pics~!
may : hey! were u there during the finale? geez, u should come up to me & say Hi! (i'll try find your e-mail) ;D
anonymous [11:35 AM] : OK! no probs mate~! :DDD

charmaine : i didn't have the power to stop their "celebration mood"!
yap : yeah, she learned 90% by herself & 10% from some classes cuz they are @ KL & so faraway...
smile : ooh yeahhh~ damn lotsa things... no restrictions whether u like it onot! ;p
jeanie : 10Q. Hmm. A bob is easy to manage, needs a bit of practice to blow dry, gets a bit annoying when your hair starts to grow & reaches your shoulder (especially if you plan to keep your hair long agen).
The easIEST way to style is to get a cheap comb and comb your hair upwards instead, spray Wella's "Ocean Sprizz" onto hair roots, use hairspray to secure bob shape, SET!
quinn : lol! i think my mum has it in one of her papers~ will have to find the time ya..?
farahrozhan : really? OMG! lol, never knew su ann is a hard core animal lover!
anonymous [5:32 AM] : maybe thats because i loose MORE weight. kakaka... q:
alvint : better late than neva'! 10Q~
fhy : perhaps thats why its call a reality show. oh well~ for the hair part, dont use conditioner on your hair roots, blow dry, use a comb to comb it UPwards, use Wella's Ocean Sprizz, a good hairspray. 100% jadi!
josh : it tastes... a bit like meat, a bit fishy, a bit... yuck, u dont have to try it really~
anonymous [8:31 AM] : 10x for the compliment & yea, i know what u meant bout the animal part. u guys are makin' me feel so bad now... >.<
anonymous [9:44 AM] : sometimes i think my mom should open a shop. best things in life are shared!!!
sam wallace : it IS?? where did u eat yours? i think its a bit yucky~
bie : got celebrities with long hair lah! i'll try to cultivate your motto. ;)
lynnz : i know i said this many times, but thank. you!
simon seow : my brother was the one who ordered teh si! kakaka...
anonymous [12:53 AM] : i'm so sorry... )=
anonymous [2:32 AM] : he is a great musician. agreed! =D
nature , anonymous [8:04 AM] : stealing a 1000 dollars pen is stealing. stealing a 70 cents pen is ALSO stealing.
if i'm not mistaken, from your comments, you meant : it is wrong for a MODEL to eat endangered species, but it's O.K for a NORMAL HUMAN BEING to do so.
nature, i'm sorry but you ARE shallow.
Miss Cindy
ReplyDeleteCan I date You? I want to treat you for dinner? Maybe eat so exotic foods?
Dear Miss CINDY,
ReplyDeletewell either a model or a human being, consuming a wild life animal is a no no,
well i mean that u as a winner of MDG, will acted as a role model, so when carrying urself u have to look at the surrounding u, ppl tend to look up on u and stuff... because now u r the attention of Malaysian's eyes...
haih...
hi there..! ur bolg is damn nice with soooo many food n ur lovely pic.. really inspiring me to blog more.. enjoy reading ur blog.. well, cant wait for ya next post!! >__<
ReplyDeletehaha.. =P
anonymous, u're bloody retarded. 'cuse the language. but seriously?! there're probably millions out there who consume the animals that u deem 'wild' educate yourself and get your facts right before you speak?
ReplyDeletehappier note: congratulations! :)
woah!! ur parents look so young!!
ReplyDeleteur dad can be ur boyfriend and ur mom can be ur best friend!!!
they get married early or they're just born to look like that???
n it's really funny to see so many ppl sending hate msgs to u...
ReplyDeletealtho u sounded arrogant(mayb u're not in person..)in MDG but i think the result is already quite obvious that u'll win..
c'mon! adeline cant speak proper english and hanis is like too cute to be the 1st MDG..
can you, by any chance, ask ur mum if she can share her cotton cheese cake recipe? =)
ReplyDeleteCan u share with me, ur mum's recipe for the cotton cheese cake? =)
ReplyDeleteheh my previous comment didn't get through. guess this blog is gonna be for your 'supporters' only? well i don't blame you 'cuz you're definitely gonna need all the 'sympathy' you can get. you should try to be more humble instead of lashing back the people who attack / criticize you. you're going nowhere.
ReplyDeleteyou'd have bad luck after eating turtle. let's see how things go and if im right.
ReplyDeletehi cindy.. i havent heard u talking in MDG or anything but if u have an accent maybe its understandable since u studied in australia~ XD anyhow.. hope its not that fake also la~ ^^
ReplyDeleteedible, not eatable =)
ReplyDeleteok i wouldnt bother commenting, but then the "buses comeS in threes" is too glaring i cant stand it. and i thought someone said she speaks perfect english :/ maybe she can't write perfect english then
ReplyDeleteHi cind. My name is Leroy and I am writing to you with regards to your proposed trip to Terengganu. Based on your entry, I might say that you do display some tendencies to want to explore a more- shall we say: exotic- menu. My concern lies primarily in the practice of consuming turtles and turtle products (eggs, leather, whatever) in general. As part of a group of people working towards the conservation of said species, I would like to urge you to refrain from consuming said products and to urge your friends and family to do the same. Your holiday or trip will not be affected one iota should you make this choice to not indulge in what could most probably be the greatest threat to the species. So my plea to you is this: enjoy yourself as much as you want but do so respectfully and carefully. It wouldn't be nice for the environment to suffer irreparable damage for our one moment of pleasure.
ReplyDeleteFor more information about our project and more, please visit http://www.umt.edu.my/turtle/?p=18 or http://the-return.blogspot.com.
Have a very nice day nad please 'say NO to marine turtle and terrapin eggs".
shows how uneducated you are cindy! You don't even know what should and should not be eaten. And please..for crying out loud..its not about.."we live only once so we should eat whatever we want"..its about protecting the wildlife and especially endangered creatures. Such a shame there are uneducated people around here..perhaps WWF can offer you some classes on some of the endangered species that should not be eaten.
ReplyDeleteHey Cindy..
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, CONGRATS on winning MDG. Sorry i came in late. but late is better than nothing right?
i am not going to comment on whether u deserve it or not. But i do think u deserved it :) (after all you got the most votes!) there's one thing thou i want to say to you, that is how u carry yourself in MDG. i m soooo impressed with you being yourself in the reality show. you did not pretend to be others, and it was all about YOU! i really like this part of you.
你只是以你的方式過活..也許别人不認同.
别人不等於你.所以别人的不認同,不等於你的錯!! U know how to read right? :P
Congrats again on your winning. and wish you all the best in the future! :)
OMG! i cant believe ppl actually attack u for eating a bloody turtle !! damn childish laaaa. for goodness sake, if you guys sooo wanna protect the wildlife n all that nonsense, go attack the restaurant that sells them la...why attack Cindy pula? secondly, so what if she have spelling errors?? she's not an english teacher neither did she said she's speaks perfect english either. So stop correcting her english. U people dont have a life issit? until gotta read her blog word by word to correct her spelling...haha really no life la u guys. And its weird why her haters is always coming back to visit her blog? doesn't make sense at all...
ReplyDeleteCHERLY...please get a life. I think u are the uneducated one to come all the way to her blog just to tell her this. U got no right to tell her what to eat and what not to eat...childish!
ReplyDeleteIf you really wanna protect the wildlife, dont waste your time commentiong here, better make use of your precious time to set up a forum and join WWF instead.Every single damn min counts u know...turtles are dying !! quick !!! shoo shoo shoo
hi Cindy,
ReplyDeletecongrats on ur winning...
keep up the good job... nice food u have there, huh ??
:P
well... this turtle issue seems to be pissing off both sides (those supporting cindy VS nature lovers)... well... i think ppl shud be more objective in this issue...
ReplyDeleteif... she is jus...
CINDY: nobody cares the f*ck wat she eats...
now that she is...
1st MDG: everyone cares wat she does...
but wat i think is... both sides have to take action in regards to the turtle extinction problem...
as 1st MDG... yes it's best you do not eat species that are in the verge of extinction... and instead... telling ppl not to do so would help... cos u are in some ways... a public figure...
then on the other hand... those who said she's got no brains/etc... shud be taking action against the restaurant or places that do serve turtles as a delicacy... cos... they serve it... surely there will be ppl who will dare to go try... it has to stop there itself... n the problem lies with merchants who are SELLING these turtles to them... so seek where the problem starts b4 accusing sum1 of having no education on endangered species... u cant jus blame consumers for the whole problem... ;)
so it'll be great that both sides start doing sumtin bout it instead of dropping 'not very nice comments' about anyone... it's good to voice out... but it shud be more constructive... e.g. (the return) =) if not... nothing gets done...
anyways... after having said all the nature related stuff...
ReplyDeleteback to ur mom's cooking =P
so... does she mind sharing recipes? ^^
acsmvtak, it's CHERYL..not CHERLY! And, we are from a marine turtle conservation group. I don't think this is wasting time, every individual counts you know..So, as much as we can, we want to spread the word that these species are endangered thus eating them will only cause their extinction.
ReplyDeleteThink about it. In foreign countries and such public figures are insulted even if they wear fur! Simply because, when you are a public figure, you need to set a good example to the rest.
It's not about me insulting Cindy or what not. We just want people to realise that these species are endangered!
That's all!!
Sorry Cindy, i realise my comment may have appeared a tad bit too insensitive. But you have to understand that having seen my classmates go through so much to promote turtle conservation..we are appalled at the sight of someone consuming turtles.
Sorry again.
I am totally agree with Cheryl.
ReplyDeleteWe are not suppose to eat them.
You only live once, so u wan to try.
Have u ever think, u eat those turtle.
How they gonna have their live then?
It's really unfair.
Acsmvtak, I think you should also practice it. This is not childish at all. One day you will regret on what you do. When the eco-system is all mixed up.
Then only you think about your life.
Dun think selfishly. Thanks
Goodness. Now oookayy, this looks like a battlefield. This is our take on things. Cindy has every right to eat whatever she wants. Cheryl also has a right to say that she is eating may not be in the best interest of the environment.
ReplyDeleteIn this however, make no mistake that we are ONLY exclusively singling out Cindy for comment. Efforts HAVE been made to counter the trend of SELLING turtle eggs and turtle products. But every coin has two sides hasn't it? What we're doing here is trying to get consumers to reject those traders irresponsible enough to continue this illegal, YES you heard it, illegal trade.
So before we get all personal and defensive and everything here, plese keep this in mind. What you do for the environment WILL come back to you in one way or another. This is not karma, this is the way the environment works.
acmsvtak, imagine if ten persons said "it's ok, I'm only eating one egg", that means ten eggs have already been eaten. Multiply that by , I dunno, say a hundred and that many eggs will be depleted. Now lets do some basic math. From every clutch of eggs laid, only a handful live to adulthood. Reducing the numbers of eggs hatching reduces the cahnces of these turtles from making it.
This is common sense. Again, do visit the websites I've recommended above. Do your bit for the environment with the understanding that the Great Wall of China was built brick by brick. Every little bit that you do to contribute helps. It really, really does.
wonder why u won.
ReplyDeletehanis the manis deserves the place more
ure just a vain bitchy useless desperado.
i bet the reason why u won was coz of ur dad
come flame me with whatever. ive been longing to say this
Okay, lots of name calling about this turtle comsuming affair. Here's my five cents worth - if a species is endangered, it's up to all of us to ensure that something is being done to protect it because in the end, it all comes full circle and affects us all - it's for the common good. Education is key and I think that the fact that people are making their opinions known are a start. You can't completely stop people from consuming endangered foods because as long as they buying continues, the killing will too. We may be a long way from a complete ban but I think people will be more willing to listen if we were less harsh with our comments and more constructive. As a role model, her decisions bear more weight but seriously, it's not just a one man effort (or consumption) - we should all bear the responsibility. I'm happy that more young people are sitting up and taking notice and actively playing a role in making sure they get heard and doing what it takes to get things done, but it should be done in a way that makes people want to listen. All the best Cindy and I wish all those involved in the turtle conservation program the very best too. Your efforts mean more than you know.
