Life...

We are what we eat...? people said that if we consumed good and healthy food we gonna be a healthy person....eat 'ikan kering'..and u'll be kurus kering..but what if we eat contaminated green leafy vege...???

All this while we were told to take more of these..good for this and that, unfortunately for us who live in Selangor..those are not the best option anymore unless u pluck 'em from ur own garden or window ledge..just like the 'Naked Chef' aka Jamie Oliver..

Yesterday's news on contaminated vegetables were not that shocking, it's known to us that the farmers used pesticides and fertilizer and what not to produced fresh and 'undisturb' vege...93 samples were tested at Selayang Market and two-third were found contaminated with at least one pesticide...!!!!

When we were small having vege with green worm were a normal treat..I was told that they are better than the one with perfect leaf..no holes...
And what about GMF...modification of genetic are fine if it could help us but we need to draw a line..God has provide us the best food,..the best of everything but sometimes there are people who want to play God..

Sigh...it's no wonder why we are more prone to headache, stomache..cancer..u name it..it's like an everyday news..there are no more fresh and healthy food..no such thing unless u plant ur own..but then we also have to question about the rice, the agricultural practice are the same..more and more pesticides, certain fish are not that safe due to high level of mercury, and when the season of bird flu, no more chicken run except that we are the one who run away from 'em.....to make matter worst, our water is not that fresh, clean and clear anymore, even in Putrajaya...macam teh cair....I was told that the water at Sungai Pinang,Pg which were supplied from Waterfall used to be so clear and sweet..??oo yess that was in the 70's... and now what happened..??

Even the air we breath is no longer fresh...how can we take a deep breath?? even if there is no haze or open burning in Indonesia, the air does contain harmful particles.......

Back then....

The paddy field were high enough for u to play hide and seek...and the river were so clear and it reflect the colour of the sky...every way you roam there are always greenery...

But I'm quite lucky to be able to wake and listen to the bird singing and staring at banana trees, mengkudu, nangka and pokok ceri......but that is only if I were in Alor Setar...now living in Putrajaya..at 6.45am the only sound that greet me is the bus engine..and the air is of coz carbon monoxide.......

Sue ... Sufiya dah besar dah ye? We wonder if our kids will get to experience a 'fresh', unpolluted life when they all grow up.

By the way, the reunion for my batch from SNC is becoming a reality this 31st August!! We managed to get in touch with about 50-60 girls and so far attendance is reaching 40. For me, it will be the first time in 32 years that I will be meeting some of these old friends (I left the school in 1975 masa Std. 6). Seronoknya!
