Enjoy!

have you ever wondered how many different types of durian there are? i found this from solid07.net
Do not be misled, i did not eat or write about these, just cut and paste.     Amazing!!~~~

A selection of branded durians in a plantation in Balik Pulau, the durian centre of Penang.

Durians of Balik Pulau

In Penang, Malaysia, the best place to get good durians is in the town of Balik Pulau,

on the southwest corner of Penang Island. Balik Pulau is a 30 minute drive over the main range and has a lot of durian estates.

The following is a selection of branded durians which I photographed during the 2004 and 2006 AsiaExplorers Durian Feasts.

D11
"Number Eleven" is a very popular durian in the 70’s. It has creamy yellow flesh with a pleasant taste and a subtle smell.

D604
The D604 was first cultivated by the late Mr. Teh Hew Hong of Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The flesh is quite sweet, and has some "body" to it as the seed is small.

D600
This durian originates in Sungai Pinang in Balik Pulau. The flesh has a bittersweet taste to it, with a touch of sourness. The one that I documented is a bit hard.

D700
The flesh is darker than D600, like chrome yellow. Also slightly hard. Crispy, but the smell is not very strong.

Ang Sim (Red Heart)
Ang Sim is a durian with flesh which is quite soft and very sweet, and dark yellow in colour. It also has a nice aroma.

Khun Poh
This durian takes the name of the late Mr Lau Khun Poh, who first budded it. Khun Poh has beautiful orangy flesh with a slightly bitter-sweet taste and a heavy aroma.

Hor Loh (Water Gourd Durian)
The flesh of the Hor Loh is very soft, dry and quite bitter. It has a sharp smell to it. Hor Loh was first cultivated at the Brown Estate of Sungai Ara. It got its name from its appearance resembling a "Hor Lor" pumpkin. If the durian hits the ground hard when it falls, the flesh tends to be bitter thereafter.

Ang Heh (Red Prawn Durian)
Ang Heh originates from Pondok Upeh, Balik Pulau, and has a round-shaped husk. The orange reddish flesh is highly aromatic, very soft with a bitter-sweet taste.

Xiao Hung (Little Red Durian)
Xiao Hung, whose name means "Little Red One," originates in Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The flesh has a bittersweet taste to it, with a touch of sourness.

The one that I tasted for this write-up is a bit hard. There are only one or two seeds per section, but the flesh is thick.

Yah Kang (Centipede Durian)
Yah Kang is one of my favourite durians. Although its flesh is whitish, the taste is superb, milky, like very sweet, melting chocolate. The name "yah kang"

means centipede, and accounts for the number of centipedes found at the foot of the tree, hence giving it the rather unusual name.

Bak Eu (Pork Fat Durian)
Bak Eu has a slightly acidic aroma. The flesh is whitish while the taste is quite bitter but nice.

The following are some of the durians I tried the first time at Peng Siew Durian Estate in Titi Serong, Balik Pulau, on the AsiaExplorers Durian Feast,

Durian Feast, 17 June, 2006.

D17
D17 is dark cream flesh. The taste is slightly dry but sweet. It is a tasty durian.

Coupling
This durian is gets its unusual name because it looks like two durians joined together, one big and one small. When split open, you almost thought the two halves belong to two different durians. Coupling has whitish flesh which is slightly dry but tastes good.

Ooi Kyau (Tumeric Durian)
The name Ooi Kyau (tumeric) describes the colour of the bright yellow flesh of this durian. It is very sweet and tasty.

Chaer Phoy (Green Skin Durian)
Chaer Phoy is shaped like a small canteloupe. The skin is bright green, giving it the name which means "green skin". Chaer Phoy has creamy white flesh which is a bit dry, not too sweet but tasty.

Ang Jin (Red Yoke Durian)
As the name suggests, Ang Jin Durian has deep orange flesh. It is very sweet and tasty.

Lin Fong Jiau
This durian is named after Lin Fong Jiau, aka Mrs Jackie Chan. I wonder whether it is indicative of the relationship of the celebrity couple, for Lin Fong Jiau is a bittersweet.

Been busy with studying lately… but here’s the latest video i put up on Youtube.com

Yo yo! check it out!! Video in me blog! and not just any pirated video, this here is me own production along with me team! All glory to God! and Praise God for multimedia and internet!!

well, just 2 days ago, my laptop monitor went blank.. as in totally pitch black! restarted couple of times.. still pitch black. And i felt sad, angry and helpless… So, i went berserk for a few minutes untill my dear bro, Yan told me to "relax, just pray-lar! God can fix it"

SO,  i did. Cried out to God to help me. (at the same time also ask Yan to find out where i can fix the laptop). then after praying and lunch, i tot of trying to switch my laptop on again,… and surprise! monitor came back to life…  ^_^

Well, haven’t been updating my blog for awhile.. hehe simply because was busy with dentistry and ministry. Strange that after I lost my part time job only i realised how busy i should be…. there are so many things to do.. and this year i will give it all i have in ministry and dentistry, being powered by the Holy Spirit!

Last saturday and today i stumble upon 2 Christian artists that i thought i must share with everyone who reads this.. they are amazing..

Frist: Shawn McDonald
"six years ago, Shawn McDonald didn’t even play a lick of guitar. He had never taken the stage in a club or a coffee house. He had yet to write his first song.  "I can’t communicate how crazy I was," Shawn says. "Who I was then and who I am now is like night and day. You name the drug and I was selling it and doing it. I was a confused kid, and my confusion boiled up into bitterness and anger. My life had become a hard, closed shell. I was extremely rebellious, miserable, and lost. What God has done in my life in the last six years is amazing."
The live experience Shawn facilitates has shown a surprising resonance with Believers and unbelievers alike. Despite the overt presence of worship and testimony in his concerts, the bulk of Shawn’s current audience is still a crowd who wouldn’t identify themselves as followers of Christ.

Second: Hazakim
Hazakim is a Hip-Hop group of 2 person: Anthony and Michael.
"We are known for our apologetics based lyrics"
"We want to leave an impression on this earth for the one true Living God. We want the world to know that He is real and that He really cares about the present state of mankind. We want the world to know that we have done our research and have found Yeshua to be all that He claims to be. We recognize that we live in a world that has many belief systems.

Its awesome to know that there are many people like these guys out there that are living their life doing what they do best and using what God has given them to serve God and to have an impact in this world today! Hallelujah!~

Go to my friendster and you will be able to watch their music videos.

To all my dear co-workers in Christ,

Jesus’ question to his followers, ‘And who do you say I am?’ still challenges us today…..

To choose to follow Jesus is to accept Him and all that he is. It is to choose to receive his cleansing, his guidance, his love and his power to make us into the people we were meant to be.

To say ‘yes’ to Jesus is to accept responsibilities. It is significant that in many of His miracles, Jesus asked for others to help Him. Others fill the jars with water in the wedding in Cana, others served the bread and the fish to the five thousand and others rolled the stone away at Lazarus’ tomb. Jesus was not a one-man-show: where He could, He involved His followers. Ultimately, He left his followers the task of telling the entire world about Him. Those who decide to follow Jesus must be prepared for Him to give them responsibilities that will stretch them to their limits.

Dear brothers and sisters,

This year will be full of many opportunities and responsibilities….

This year YOU will be able to pour water into jars that turns to wine, serve bread and fish to five thousand, and move giant stone away…

This year, let’s serve the Lord with all your heart and all your soul.

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you might have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  [Colosians 1:9-14]

Why is that srcripture up there you ask? Well, because I feel we ought to pray for each other. I would like you all to pray that I will (1) understand God’s will, (2) gain spiritual wisdom, (3) please and honour God, (4) bear good fruit, (5) grow in the knowledge of God, (6) be filled with God’s strength, (7) have great enduranve and patience, ( stay full of Christ’s joy, (9) give thanks always. All believer’s have these same basic needs. When you don’t know how to pray for someone, i encourage you to use Paul’s prayer pattern for the Colosians.

And if you would like me to pray for you for such basic needs, feel free to message me, and i will gladly do so.
