FuFu Malaysia Project - Malaysian Boleh



FuFu Malaysia Project

24th August - 16th September 2010 | Episode 3

FuFu Malaysia Project - Episode 3 : Malaysian Boleh* (FuFu Boleh)

After a year of studying Japanese at the language centre, i started my college life in spring 2003. I was the first and only Malaysian studying in Syusei Technical College. My professor always giving me pressure that i had to study harder because i was the representative from Malaysia. I love my country so i wanted to proudly prove that FuFu as a Malaysian can achieve well in other countries because without Malaysia i wouldn't be able to go that far.

"Lam Ching Fu from Malaysia."

I was calling out up to the stage to receive the awards, so did Malaysia being mentioned three times. I was feeling extremely proud but with a dash of disappointment because Malaysian flag couldn't be raising up together with our national anthem playing along. Fortunately, two years later, my mother, god mother and sisters came to my graduation ceremony of Hiroshima University. It's really good to have them there sharing my little achievement. Malaysian Boleh. FuFu Boleh.

Malaysia Boleh is a good slogan. But i would much-super-rather prefer to say Malaysian Boleh. Because we seriously need to have citizens who are totally open minded, diligent, rational-thinking, anti-racism, respect the diversity and good team players. Without these groups of people, how could we successfully make Malaysia Boleh? Too hard to get my point? Alright, for an example, to make a good wine that would be internationally famous of, below which is the most appropriate?

A. Find a suitable location for the grape you are trying to grow.
B. Cultivate vinifera grapes which are known as the best grapes.
C. Add excellent yeast to ferment the wine.
D. Ensure the fermentation process is good.
E. Store the wine in appropriate barrels.

All options sound alright but which would you choose for the question?

No earthquake, no volcano eruptions, no typhoon or hurricane but bad flooding during monsoon period, no severe drought but sometimes can be torching, no twister and so on. Malaysia is free from natural disasters, it's a safe, ideal and fertile land to grow the grapes. Then, we have also several type of good vinifera grapes' seeds. Brown, yellow and black.

Following steps for grape cultivation are very important. Don't give too much shade because grapes should enjoy sunbathing. Too much fertilizer can irreparably damage a grape. Do balance the watering so the sweetness would not be fading away. If this cultivation process is not handled well, grapes will be susceptible to certain elements that are hazardous to its growth and maturation. You can't make good wine if you don't have good grapes.

Yeast? We have been investing a lot of money in it though yeast is just a supporting role actor, we just need a small amount of it in the fermentation process in the oak aging barrels. But forget it, because it can still somehow help enhancing the quality of wine after all. Storing is also another wisdom. Because wine will react with the wood of the barrel and undergo changes that develop its character, hence keep the barrels in a cool ventilated location. Never ever let other people brainwash the barrels. Enhance the security system! Also, all barrels need a way for the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast to escape. Otherwise, when a certain amount of carbon dioxide is collected and powerful enough to explode, the land will be all RED, spilled with wine. Think twice! Remember to put the "Be Cautious", "No Fire" and other safety signboards. Never ever let the moron-made disaster happen again!

While most of us would just pick up and pay for a bottle of wine, some people make their own wine. If you have got good quality of grapes could be growing in your fertile yard, you may have wondered how to make wine. Therefore, above are the steps to take to turn grape juice into a fine alcoholic beverage.

Back to the question, so the ideal answer would be B. Since we already have the ideal land, yeast, fermentation knowledge and good oak barrels, we just need to cultivate the grapes properly, give them adequate love, proper care as well as equal amount of water, sun, fertilizer. Conclusion, the wine can't be considered as Boleh until you have cultivated the capable and caliber grapes for the wine making.

Don't tell me you still can't get what i am trying to mean! READ it again. Anyway hope you enjoy reading this article. One Malaysia? One FuFu is better. lol Raise the national flag. Show your love to Malaysia.

-- | 因爲你 馬來西亞人可以做得到 | --

一年的日語特訓班後我就去了學院升學
我修的是土木工程教課材料全都是日語
比其他同學都三倍學習的我沒有埋怨過
接受挑戰之前我已經清楚知道遊戲規則
更何況我們是不會輕易被蘿蔔頭打倒的
而且爲了家園的面子我們是不可以縮頭
因馬來西亞的嫩草永遠不會向大風低頭
經過幾番的努力與奮鬥終于開花結果了
馬來西亞人終于把家園的名字發揚光大
我們經常都說有國才有家有家才有我們
但有沒有想過如果沒有了棟梁會有國嗎
所以我們一定要好好地栽培我們的棟梁

請問棟梁到底跟紅酒有什麽親密關係呀
那就讓我來詳細地慢慢解釋給你們聼咯
要釀出揚名海外的紅酒需要什麽條件呢
可以種出葡萄肥沃的土地我們到處都有
好品種的葡萄種子我們有黃色棕色黑色
接下來就是如何養育及栽培出色的葡萄
不可以把他們遮太久不然就經不起考驗
要多點給他們曬太陽不然就會變小白臉
不可以給太多的呵護不然他們會依賴你
然後放一些發酵在橡樹木桶中釀製紅酒
保存時期千萬不要讓陌生的廢材們靠近
因爲他們會把紅酒的甜度都全部吸光光
而且非常容易縱火又很狡猾地煽動紅酒
記得加強你們的保安系統養多幾只老虎
如果橡樹木桶穿了整個工廠會變成紅海
人禍降臨的時候才後悔就已經來不及了
我們要團結一致以和為貴解決所有問題

釀製好葡萄酒需要好葡萄以及釀製過程
我們已經為你準備好了精密的釀製程序
有了這一些精英葡萄們和我特製的秘方
你們還擔心什麽呢我的紅酒一定會大賣
而且從海外各地來的訂單一定會接不完
不要等了趕快過來我的葡萄园種葡萄吧
等葡萄成熟時我們一起釀製上等葡萄酒
幾年後我們就可大豐收一定會收賺大錢
千萬不要那麽快放棄一定要等到葡萄熟
空閒就想一想日後如何宣傳我們的紅酒
我們的葡萄及紅酒會一閃一閃亮晶晶地
我們的葡萄及紅酒會閃爍著耀眼的光芒
希望你們會喜歡這如何葡萄釀製的故事
除了一個馬來西亞還要支持一個富富哦

"We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams."

I like it when I read blogs by other people from other countries. I get to learn a lot from the different cultures. This is the age when borders are non-existent and people learn the diversity of the world.

Anyway, it all goes down to this, Malaysia Boleh! haha. :)

Akira 思胜 said...

Malaysia boleh? Well, it depends. Somehow we have to reunite amongst ourselves in order to achieve that target.

行走绿色世界 said...

I choose A+B+C+D+E
I will choose to combine all the options to make a bottle of good wine, it is very tough to choose only 1 answer. Am I greedy haha
We have to gather all the natural resources + Malaysia talents; everybody has to hand in hand to bring our country towards a bright future then the slogan of Malaysia BOLEH will succeed in near future.
华人至古以来都像一盘散沙,所以我们真的需要团结一心!!马来西亚才可以

fufu said...

Allen :"We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams." nice!! i think i am gonna use this quote for the next coming post! well every country has its own problem, even like Japan, USA, UK, Germany, etc are all fighting for equality... i just wish all malaysians could realise that we couldnt have achieve that great without our country, parents and friends... all should respect the diversity... right?


Akira 思胜 :yes you are right... first we have to get together...before moving to the next step... wish we manage to do so sooner...


Winnt : of course we need A till E, but just e need to emphasize on B since it's so important ya :) 對呀 我們應該團結起來 :) 保衛我們的權力搞好我們的家園 :) 我們馬來西亞人一定可以的

shloke said...

Yep, Malaysia Boleh! Our motherland is not exposed to natural disasters on a daily basis and we don't live in war zones. Yes we should be thankful for these blessings.

I'm waiting for that day - more open minded Malaysians who will champion freedom of thought, rational thinking and who value highly the dignity of fellow humans.

Thanks for sharing fu!

fufu said...

MKL : wow your bahasa malaysia is nit bad!! hohohoho good! i love all my readers here including you ok? hahaha glad you could speak a little bit of bahasa :) proud of you!! you are one nice tourist that truly loves malaysia :)

TG said...

Sorry to say that, but I learned bahasa malaysia in Singapore, haha :P It's funny, but when in Singapore, I hung out with Malays and in Malaysia with Chinese. So I experienced life of a minority. And you can be sure, same as Chinese in Malaysia criticize Malays, the Malays in Singapore criticize Chinese Singaporeans. It can never be right for everyone, can it? :P

fufu said...

MKL : hahaha it doesnt matter where you have learnt the language :) as long as we can communicate ya :) you mentioned minority... oh sad... we are getting less and less, i mean the population...because the flowing out of elites... anyway i am going back soon though :)
