Konayuki (snow powder) 1 Liter of Tears, Japanese Drama

Assalamualaikum wbt

This is one of my favorite japanese songs that I listen over and over again, and some part of the drama is kinda sad. It's based on the true story of one japanese girl that has some kind of weird disease which made her become paralyzed and soon die because no medication can treat her. I don't really remember that story because I just enjoying this song, a theme song for the drama.

I know you don't understand the song, me neither. So here's the translation

konayuki mau kisetsu wa itsumo surechigai

hitogomi ni magiretemo onaji sora miteru noni

kaze ni fukarete nitayou ni kogoeru noni

Season of snow powder always come

Although we are mixed up with a mass of people

we are looking on the same sky

Blown by the wind, and we are chilled by it

boku wa kimi no subete nado shittewa inai darou

soredemo ichiokunin kara kimi wo mitsuketayo

konkyo wa naikedo honki de omotterunda

I may not know everything about you

Nevertheless, I've found you among 100 million of people

There's no proof but I'm very serious of it

sasai na iiai mo nakute onaji jikan wo ikitenado ikenai

sunao ni narenai nara yorokobi mo kanashimi mo munashiidake

It's impossible to live in the same time with no single quarrel

If we can't be honest, happiness and sadness are just meaningless

konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara

futari no kodoku wo wakeau koto ga dekitano kai?

If the snow powder may whiten deep to our heart

Could we both share our loneliness?

boku wa kimi no kokoro ni mimi wo oshiatete

sono koe no suru hou e sutto fukaku made

orite yukitai soko de mou ichido aou

I would press my ear near to your heart

And go down deep into the place where I

hear that voice and meet you once again

wakari aitai nante uwabe

wo nadeteita nowa boku no hou

kimi no kajikanda te mo nigiri

shimeru koto dakede tsunagatteitanoni

We want to understand each other

It's me who softly brush the surface

Just by tightly gripping your numb and cold hand 

We are tied to each other

konayuki nee eien wo mae ni amarini moroku

zaratsuku asufaruto no ue shimi ni natte yukuyo

Snow powder is too fragile

In front of us, keep on leaving stains on the rough asphalt forever

konayuki nee toki ni tayori naku kokoro wa yureru

soredemo boku wa kimi no koto mamori tsuzuketai

Snow powder doesnot rely on time, moving our heart

Nevertheless, I'd still like to keep on protecting you

konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara

futari no kodoku wo tsutsunde sora ni kaesu kara

If the snow powder may whiten deep to our heart

It will cover both our loneliness and return it to the sky... 

Rabbit Poop?

Assalamualaikum wbt

For those who own a bunny must deals with their poops everyday. A single mature rabbit can produce a lot of poops, especially the large breed, e.g. flemish giant, new zealand, checkered giant etc. They eat a lot and of course make a lot of waste. 

The best part of rabbit manure is that it's not as stinky as cat and dog's. Virtually, dry rabbit manure is odorless unless it's wet or soak by the urine. Since rabbit's diet is only on vegetation and don't eat meat, the smelly bacteria that dissolve meat is not there. Instead, rabbit waste is a good source of nutrient and phosphorus, thus they make an excellent fertilizer for plant's growth and flowering. 

To use it as fertilizer, simply take their waste every morning (usually rabbit eat and poop a lot during night) straight to your plants. Not only you make your plants happy but also eliminate the bad odor at the cage. Another use of rabbit manure is to make a compost pile. Making a compost pile will help conserving the environment which benefit yourself, your garden, your environment and most importantly our mother Earth.

So here the instruction to make a compost pile:

1. Dig a hole at the corner of your yard (at least 2 ft)

2. Gather all your organic kitchen scrap (vegetable peel, uneaten rice, old fruit or whatever that you throw after eating your dinner except bones) and add it into the hole.

3. Dump the rabbit's waste inside the same hole.

4. Use the pitchfork to mix the new and old scraps.

5. If it's too dry, water the compost until it's moist and mix it well to ensure all the components are breaking down.

6. You can  add your kitchen scraps and rabbit manure once in a week (by gathering them) if you're too lazy to dump it directly to the hole everyday. Always ensure the compost is moist.

7. You're ready to add the compost into your garden once it has broken in dark, rich mixture.

Happy Bunny said "my waste is useful, how about yours?"

Chinese New Year Heritage Celebration, Penang

Assalamualaikum wbt

This celebration is a showcase for the richness of the living heritage in Penang. Actually I'm not really expected this kind of celebration because my main point was to go to rabbit's exhibition, but I'm really amazed when I found out there's a lot of event being organized there. Then I noticed that the highlighting theme of celebration is  7 different cultural aspects related to Hokkien, Canton, Teochew, Hainan, Hakka, Wushu, and also Malasysian cultures. Pretty awesome, I guess.

Although I don't understand a single word there, and what most of them were doing but I really enjoy watching all the event that they celebrate. These are some pictures taken while 'searching' for the rabbit's exhibition. They covered a wide area, so it's hard for the first timer like us to know what direction we should go. 

These are real bunny kid. 

After wandering around we finally arrived at the exhibition. 

These are guine pigs, not a rabbit!

It's time to go home and take a good rest (I'm all out of energy, can't wait to sleep)
