潜吧●诗巴丹

对潜水爱好者而言，到诗巴丹潜水形同朝圣。这可是一生之中必潜之处啊。皮皮向往到诗巴丹几乎等到脖子可以扣环子了。总算在花儿凋谢之前，皮皮到此一潜了！



基于种种因素（包括为了避免诗巴丹急速遭受污染；预防海盗轻易挟持人质），诗巴丹不再让旅客留宿。并且所有到潜者都必须向有关当局申请准证。即便是诸多刁难，诗巴丹的呼唤依旧醉人，皮皮完全无法抗拒。于是皮皮入住Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort，入住海中央--在房里就可以轻易窥视海底世界的动静。实在难忘那暖而凉的海风，轻快的海浪声，还有房前懒散的刺魟。单纯在海上都已经如痴如醉了，何况是到海底去呢！

依偎在清澈海水的身旁，诗巴丹这小岛温柔地孕育着活泼的海底生命，多么自然多么精彩。诗巴丹深不见底（听说要上600多米吧），这么辽阔的海域自然吸引了不少庞大鱼儿咯。鲨鱼和海龟处处可见（不过几乎都是在睡午觉，嘻。）想要和鲨鱼近距离接触是皮皮梦想中的乐事，但是当真的见着了，鸡皮疙瘩发满全身，皮皮完全不敢靠近一步（羞=-"）。

皮皮首次尝试在海底录影，才发现浮力控制还是有待加强--因为第一天就被海胆给刺到入肉了！！被刺的6处黑点让皮皮吓破胆了！好在专业的潜水导游立刻为伤口涂上醋，加速了血液循环并将毒素给逼出来，黑点隔天就转红了（这是皮皮初段的理论，但后来听说尿水也有用时，皮皮放弃了胡乱猜测）。还有还有！！！皮皮快受不了使用这架没有闪光的傻瓜机了！一手拿着手电筒，一手还要维持平稳摄影，我苦！！（最苦的是家里的老爷电脑当个不停，看来快支撑不了皮皮的录影制作了）等我有了新的录像机（还有新的电脑），我会再来的！等我等我！！

2010 New Year Celebration goes WILD!!

我身骑铁马 Red RIDING Bike

由于大家都有点忙，车队（哦，听起来还蛮专业的说)休息了近5个月了。腰上的轮胎和铁马的一般全泻了气。
Since everyone was pretty busy lately, so our team (oh, this sounded professional) rested for nearly 5 months. The "tyre" on PiPi's waist was as flat like the bike's.



这次的入场，是道人踏出来的小径。没有上坡下山，纯粹是凹凸不平的颠簸，泥泞烂浆的践踏，还有被树枝狠狠地往脸上划出的巴掌印。牙数的运用歇除了体力上的吃重，皮皮还蛮轻松地抵达休息站。大家也不太累，小歇了一会儿，就往回程去了。
This time, we entered from a small track. No up or down, just plain bumpy and muddy. Extended branches hit hard on our faces.Using bicycle gears reduced the demand for stamina. PiPi reached the rest point quite easily. Others were not tired as well, so we decided to have a quick rest and returned.







回程都是大家最爱的下坡，皮皮除外。前晚的大雨把下坡淋得稀吧烂，轮胎超容易打滑。加上积水影响视觉的判断，好几次皮皮都撞向深坑。下坡对皮皮而言，一向都是费力费精神的挑战。这次皮皮尝试减少刹车，勇敢地随坡而下，双手紧紧地握着抖的超夸张的扶手，感觉到铁马好像随时就要爆开。当双手都麻痹得很，屁股也颠得快开花时，皮皮回到了正常的道路上，呼啸而过。
The return track meant going downhill - everyone's favourite, except for PiPi. Last night rainfall had messed up the hill, and our tyres could slip easily. Water in potholes affected our visual judgment. On several occasion, PiPi almost crashed into deep potholes. For PiP, this was definitely a demanding and taxing challenge. Anyway, PiPi avoided applying the brake, and bravely descended the slope. Both hands held tightly onto the shaky handles, PiPi could feel the bike was about to blow apart. Both hands were already numb, and buttock bumped. At last, PiPi was back on the normal track, whisking along.



花絮：休战期间，好多道具的失修了。最离谱的是鞋底完全脱落。穿着布鞋踏着铁板真得不好受，“是时候换新鞋咯！”队长说道。
P/S: After the long rest period, many equipment had "retired". The worst was that the shoe pads fell off. Stepping on metal pedals with canvas shoes was a torture. "It is time to change to a new shoe loh!" Captain said.

豆腐花

Hallo~~~大家有没有想念我的recipe啊?
前阵子忙着考试没有时间写blog。。。现在假期了，把之前做的《豆腐花》写了下来。。。


这个就是我弄的豆腐花。还记不记得那个叫卖声？“豆腐花~~豆浆水~~bopebopebope”
是的，要做豆腐花，首先就要弄豆浆水，再把它凝固，就变成了豆腐花。
所以基本材料有：黄豆，水和凝固剂。
豆浆水的做法请看：http://3pgoround.blogspot.com/2008/07/blog-post_31.html

平时的话，凝固剂通常是用石膏，主要化学成分是硫酸钙（CaSO4）。。。
制作方法可以看wikipedia:

豆花製作須先將黃豆浸泡，依品種或個人喜好約4至8小時不等，俟黃豆吸飽水份後再加以打漿、濾渣、煮滾，復降溫至90℃。
最後步驟稱為「沖豆花」，意即需沖入凝固劑豆漿後再靜置5至15分鐘才能完成。而豆花美味的技巧就出於豆漿與凝固劑融合的溫度控制，以及沖豆花的速度與技巧。

但是我又不知道要在哪里弄石膏回来。。。突发奇想，用鸡蛋当作凝固剂怎样？


这个是四粒鸡蛋。。。(读者：“我有眼睛看”）

再把它搅匀。。。(读者：“这个我也看得出”）

再把降温后的豆浆水倒进去，加糖再搅匀。。。
这里的降温要降到比较低，不然倒进去就蛋会熟，就马上凝固变成蛋花了。。。

然后再拿去蒸。。。

为了不让水滴太多进去你的豆腐花，可以在盖上包一层布，蒸其他东西也可以这样做来控制水分。。。

在等的过程中，我们可以弄一下超浓糖水来配豆腐花，就是少少水加多多糖，让它加热到溶化就可以了。。。

这个就是蒸好的豆腐花。。。

挖一些出来。。。

放在碗里，加糖水。。。好了~~

用鸡蛋弄的，火候要控制的很好才可以蒸熟又不要太熟。。。太熟就会像这样一粒粒洞。。。不熟就不凝固。。。
但是吃起来还是有豆腐花的味道的。。:P

你最珍贵 Preciously Redang

热情的浪雀跃地环绕着小岛翩翩起舞。这个岛的浪是热的。天是蓝的，海是蓝的，而皮皮是红的（晒得红彤彤）。第一次（也是最后一次）到热浪岛已是4年前的事了。
Waves surrounding the island danced passionately. Waves were hot. The sky was blue, the sea was blue, yet PiPi was red (because of sun-burn). The first and last time when PiPi visited Redang was 4 years ago.


Berjaya Redang Resort


在这里，曾经献上了皮皮的第一次---潜水初体验。潜水这玩意儿真的是见仁见智的活动。沁就不太喜欢了---她坚持自己是属于陆地的。而皮皮 。。。。。。
Here, PiPi had her very 1st time -- of scuba diving. Scuba diving really is a very subjective activity. Sum did not like it at all -- She declared firmly that she belongs to the land. However, PiPi begged to differ.... ...

~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

多年以后，再次到热浪岛来。热浪岛的人没变，还是一样的热情。热浪岛的鱼没变，还是一样的热情。这次皮皮不在乎住宿的舒适，不在乎酒店的设施，皮皮只在乎海里的活宝们。
Few years later, PiPi was back at Redang again. The people had not changed, with the same passion. Even the fish had not changed, with the same passion. This time, PiPi did not mind about the comfort of accommodation, and did not mind about the facilities of the resort. What mattered most was the treasures under the sea.

这次找了Gipsy Divers当响导。原本打算去曦潜，却因为前一晚热闹的派对而睡过了日出。匆匆地吃过了早饭后，就换上了潜水衣并开始装备。8点钟的海风还是冷咧咧地，海水却是暖和的。由于海面潮水波动幅度相当大，大家跃入海水后，径自下潜等候。人齐后，大家沿着珊瑚壁，顺着潮水流向，往北而去。没一会儿，皮皮依稀看到一个巨型的身躯，形状古怪的在海床上匍匐。渐游渐近时，皮皮看清楚了她的轮廓--是海龟啊！！大家都放轻呼吸，皮皮固然是欣喜若狂，可不敢轻举妄动，皮皮可不想因为赶走了海龟而成为千夫所指。大家抓紧时机，猛按相机快门。皮皮的傻瓜相机在远处也照不了什么好样儿的的，索性静静地欣赏海龟的一举一动。或许大家的热情让海龟受不了，她快速地游离我们了。
This time, PiPi dived with the Gipsy Divers. Our initial plan was to dive at dawn. We all missed it because of a late night and crazy party. So, we quickly had our breakfast. We changed into our wetsuits and started assembling the equipment. The wind was still cold at 8am, but the sea water was warm. As the surface current was strong, we descended immediately and gathered under the water. After assembly, we followed the reef wall on our left, and allowed the current to push us towards the north. Soon, PiPi noticed a giant figure crawling on the seabed. When PiPi got closer to the creature, Pipi realized it was a sea turtle!! Everyone held their breathing. Of course, PiPi was excited, but PiPi did not approach the sea turtle any nearer. PiPi did not want to scare the sea turtle away and received blame from other buddies. Everyone started taking pictures of the sea turtle. From such a distance, PiPi's compact camera was practically useless. So, PiPi simply relaxed and enjoyed her every move. Perhaps, the sea turtle couldn't stand our excitement, and she quickly swam away.

大家继续在珊瑚壁寻找活宝。皮皮认真地照起相来--皮皮的最爱‘尼莫’，魔鬼鱼，兔蒂。。。皮皮照得不亦乐乎，缓慢的进度竟然被大伙给遗留在后头。皮皮醒觉后四处张望却看不见一双蛙鞋，映入眼帘的竟是海龟啊~~她轻松地游向皮皮后，就在皮皮跟前的珊瑚上停住。皮皮和海龟互相对看，她眨了眨眼就游开。当皮皮还在犹豫着是否跟上前，或是去寻找失散的伙伴时，海龟回头看了皮皮。她可能了解到皮皮的窘境，又转头回到皮皮的跟前。皮皮好想拥她进入怀里。这短短的几分钟，是多么的美妙啊。
We continued to search for more treasures on the reef wall. PiPi started seriously to take more photographs of PiPi's all-time favourite 'Nemo', stingray, nudibranch ... While PiPi enjoyed her photo shooting, she was not ware being left behind. Suddenly, not even one fin was in sight. Then, Pipi spotted the sea turtle again -- it had softly swum close to PiPi and stopped on the reef right in front of PiPi. She gazed at PiPi and PiPi looked her in her eyes. She blinked and swam away. PiPi hesitated whether to follow, or to catch up with other dive buddies. She turned back, taking note of PiPi's hesitance. She once again returned to PiPi. PiPi wanted to hug her so much. This was indeed a wonderful moment.









热浪岛总是让皮皮有所惊喜。这次和海龟的亲密接触是最珍贵的回忆了。
Redang always surprised PiPi. This time, close encounter with the sea turtle will make memory even fonder.

看我飞檐走壁~~ I'm a ROCKstar

地点 / Location: www.camp5.com

90度笔直的灰墙上，布满了繁星般的石块，凌乱中带有可依循的次序。
On the perpendicular gray wall, many rocks littered here and there like stars in the sky. They appeared random, but there was a certain hidden pattern formation.

皮皮猪娘似地攀附在墙上的最顶端，双手各自勉强地抓着尚有凹口可吃力的小石头。双脚牵强地踏着随脚可及的小石块。双手逐渐使不出劲来，皮皮在10米高处摇摇欲坠。好想松开双手之际，皮皮悄悄地往下一望，下面的人几乎像积木人的大小了。如果从这么高处掉落到地面，自由落体速度会有多快呢？活命的机率又有多少呢？皮皮犹豫着是否该放手，不禁懊恼自己到底是怎么爬上来咧。
PiPi climbed towards the top of the wall. Both her hands grasped feebly onto any protruding edge of a rock. Both her legs simply stepped on any rock, looking for body-weight support. After a while, when both her hands lost the holding strength, PiPi was already at a height of 10m from the ground. PiPi was weak now, almost ready to fall anytime. PiPi felt like letting go her hands. When PiPi looked down, the people below appeared as small as Lego toys. From such a height, what will be the speed of the free-fall? What's the chance of surviving upon impact? PiPi became hesitant, and regretted climbing!





像穿裤子般地套上了绳束，束紧了皮带，专业攀岩教练一个八字结把攀岩绳结结实实地绑在皮皮身上的绳束。绳子延伸到墙顶一绕后的另一端则绑在教练的裤套上。现在皮皮和教练是一伙的了，双方除了要有默契外，更加要互相信任「尤其皮皮必须相信若失手从墙上坠落，教练在下面会将绳子拉紧，皮皮不至于落得粉身碎骨的局面」。
Our pants were fitted with harnesses and our belts were securely tightened. The professional rock climbing instructor attached a rope onto PiPi's harness. This rope then passed through an anchor at the top of the wall. The other end was held by the instructor as a belayer. Now PiPi and the instructor formed a team. Besides co-ordination, we must trust each other. (Should PiPi slip and fall, the instructor will definitely hold on to the rope, so that PiPi will not be crushed to the ground).

松一松筋骨，抖擞精神，皮皮尽量抓着凹口较大的石块。当右手伸展地抓着石块，右脚也提高地助右手一臂之力，愤地一蹬。左手紧接着伸展望更高处的石块抓去，皮皮就这样慢慢地攀高。起初皮皮以为攀爬必然像爬楼梯般毫无难度，结果不然。除了小石块的分布零散以外，越往高处的惧高感越强烈，何况皮皮可以依赖的就这么一条绳子。
After relaxing her nerves and warming up her muscles, PiPi started by holding onto bigger rock wherever possible. When her right hand reached out for a rock, her right foot also stepped on a supporting rock. Both her right hand and right leg then lifted her body upwards, so that her left hand can reach out for a higher rock. PiPi slowly made her way to the top of the wall. At first, PiPi thought the climb will be as easy as climbing a ladder. PiPi realized soon enough that she was wrong. The rocks were 'randomly' distributed. Fear of altitude grew as PiPi climbed higher. PiPi relied completely on a tiny rope.

抖个不停的双手再也无力往更高处攀爬了。皮皮频频听见教练的打气声，也听见他给的指示该抓上哪一个石块。可惜双手完全不听使唤，就像发了链条地抖抖抖。教练凭着经验，老早就知道像只壁虎一动不动的皮皮要掉下来了。教练将绳子拉紧，开始游说皮皮松开手了。皮皮固然知道总得坠落的，可是双手却不肯放开。在这么高处掉下去可不是开玩笑的。皮皮陷入了前所未有的窘境，拼命说服自己的双手放开。就在苦命挣扎的内心纠结，双手再也撑不下去了。。。 。。。
Both her hands were shaking and PiPi was unable to move on. The instructor encouraged and helped out by instructing which next rock to reach out for. Alas, PiPi's hands kept shaking beyond control. The experienced instructor knew that PiPi had stopped climbing and just stuck on the wall like a lizard, and PiPi will fall soon. The instructor held fast the rope and persuaded PiPi to let go. Although PiPi realized that letting go was unavoidable, yet her hands simply would not let go. It was certainly no joke to fall from such a great height. PiPi now faced an un-precedent dilemma. PiPi kept telling the hands to let go, and finally both hands could not sustain the grip anymore ... ...

啊。。。 。。。皮皮疯狂地尖叫 。。。 哦，这么没有感觉到坠落呢？原来绳子拉紧后就已经将皮皮固定着了。瞎紧张了，真的是正宗的惊死。嘻。
AAARRRR........ PiPi screamed and yelled ... Opps, why no sense of falling? Actually, the rope had been locked in position. Phew, it was a false alarm. Hehehe.

蜘蛛侠后续：如果有机会，好像要尝试户外攀岩。爬到高处眺望的风景，应该会很壮观。恐惧感更浓厚，刺激！！
Spiderman Part II: If there is another chance, PiPi would like to try out an outdoor rock climbing. The view from the top will be very majestic. The fear factor will be even greater. It will be a wild excitement!!
