So i had someone ask me why i posted this and i kinda felt obliged to myself to explain why ..
Of late it feels awesome to see the increase in numbers of people that decided to pick up a bike and start cycling. Specially during this time of CMCO its a common sight seeing groups of people cycling on the road.
Compared to when i started cycling 7,8 years ago where it was a pretty tight community and how excited i get when i see someone else on a bicycle. Today this common sight can be seen everywhere. But i will be honest that i still feel happy seeing all these road bikes, foldies, touring bikes etc on the road.
But i just feel many have forgotten or even not know some ethics or safety rules while cycling and its not just putting their lives and other road users life in danger but also giving many other cyclist a bad name.
For instance, you might think cycling into town in a big group is an awesome cool idea (well it is) but what’s not cool is hogging the whole lane and not cycling in a single file. I understand the adrenaline rush of speeding down the main roads in a big group in your tight branded cycling gear and your super expensive bikes, it does make your balls feel bigger. But imagine the other road users like the car drivers, motorists, bus drivers who are stuck behind your group. How do they feel ? They might be rushing for an important appointment and at the same time trying hard not to hit you. And when they accidentally or on purpose hit you. You cry road rage!!
Let’s not get me started about those cycling on major highways or not being on the motorcycle lanes on the highway.. seriously like seriously your not even suppose to be on them. Did you not look up basic safety rules before you jump on a bicycle?
Cyclist are starting to be considered an annoying bunch by many shop owners and residence. And honestly i dont blame these people for feeling annoyed.. during weekends many cyclist would get up pretty early in the morning and park their cars for 3,4 hours in free parking spaces around commercial centres and the curbs of residential areas. I know its free and happy your mother heart you want to park there. But those free parking spots are meant for the consumers who frequents the shops there when you take up those free spaces for hours and hours what happens to those shop owners running their businesses? Or how bout those residence that gets pretty annoyed with you filling up all the parking space around their residence. I see this often, i live in bukit Jelutong.
I wont go into all the other details like helmet, lights and bell.. which i myself at times am guilty for not having on my rides..
But where and what i am trying to get to is the fact that, when you dont adhere to the basic ethics of cycling and start annoying the other road users you paint a pretty bad name to many other cyclist. You see not everyone looks at cycling as a status symbol or a cool hobby like golf. Some people rely on their bicycles to get them from point to point. People commute to work on bicycles, people tour on bicycles and there are those who’s living depends on those 2 wheels. But by our selfish actions and drawing bad light to cycling, I fear the consequences of extra rulings, stringent laws or even the ban of my fav 2 wheels on the road.
By then it would be a tad too late to scream unjust.
So i really hope for those who are already cycling to refresh on your cycling road rules and ethics and for those who are new or just about to start to scroll up these road rules and digest them before planning your next ride.
There’s a Malay saying that goes “Nila setitik Rosak Susu sebelanga”.. dont just because of our selfish and arrogant act destroy this awesome thing that we all enjoy most, which is Cycling 🙂
So please .. Use Your BRainnnnnnnn!!

📰 藝術家的養成 - 萊森奧爾的見解
The Making of an Artist - The Views of Alfred Reisenauer.
▪️With Liszt
“When I had reached a certain grade of advancement it was my great fortune to become associated with the immortal Franz Liszt. I consider Liszt the greatest man I have ever met. By this I mean that I have never met, in any other walk of life, a man with the mental grasp, splendid disposition and glorious genius. This may seem a somewhat extravagant statement. I have met many, many great men, rulers, jurists, authors, scientists, teachers, merchants and warriors, but never have I met a man in any position whom I have not thought would have proved the inferior of Franz Liszt, had Liszt chosen to follow the career of the man in question. Liszt’s personality can only be expressed by one word, ‘colossal.’ He had the most generous nature of any man I have ever met. He had aspirations to become a great composer, greater than his own measure of his work as a composer had revealed to him. The dire position of Wagner presented itself. He abandoned his own ambitions— ambitions higher than those he ever held toward piano virtuosity—abandoned them completely to champion the difficult cause of the great Wagner. What Liszt suffered to make this sacrifice, the world does not know. But no finer example of moral heroism can be imagined. His conversations with me upon the subject were so intimate that I do not care to reveal one word.
▪️Liszt’s Pedagogical Methods
“His generosity and personal force in his work with the young artists he assisted, are hard to describe. You ask me whether he had a certain method. I reply, he abhorred methods in the modern sense of the term. His work was eclectic in the highest sense. In one way he could not be considered a teacher at all. He charged no fees and had irregular and somewhat unsystematic classes. In another sense he was the greatest of teachers. Sit at the piano and I will indicate the general plan pursued by Liszt at a lesson.”
Reisenauer is a remarkable and witty mimic of people he desires to describe. The present writer sat at the piano and played at some length through several short compositions, eventually coming to the inevitable “Chopin Valse, Op. 69, No. 1, in A flat major.” In the meanwhile, Reisenauer had gone to another room and, after listening patiently, returned, imitating the walk, facial expression and the peculiar guttural snort characteristic of Liszt in his later years. Then followed a long “kindly sermon” upon the emotional possibilities of the composition. This was interrupted with snorts and went with kaleidoscopic rapidity from French to German and back again many, many times. Imitating Liszt he said, “First of all we must arrive at the very essence of the thing; the germ that Chopin chose to have grow and blossom in his soul. It is, roughly considered, this:(見譜例圖四)
Chopin’s next thought was, no doubt:(見譜例圖五)
But with his unerring good taste and sense of symmetry he writes it so:(見譜例圖六)
Now consider the thing in studying it and while playing it from the composer’s attitude. By this I mean that during the mental process of conception before the actual transference of the thought to paper, the thought itself is in a nebulous condition. The composer sees it in a thousand lights before he actually determines upon the exact form he desires to perpetuate. For instance, this theme might have gone through Chopin’s mind much after this fashion:(見譜例圖七)
The main idea being to reach the embryo of Chopin’s thought and by artistic insight divine the connotation of that thought, as nearly as possible in the light of the treatment Chopin has given it.
“It is not so much the performer’s duty to play mere notes and dynamic marks, as it is for him to make an artistic estimate of the composer’s intention and to feel that during the period of reproduction, he simulates the natural psychological conditions which affected the composer during the actual process of composition. In this way the composition becomes a living entity—a tangible resurrection of the soul of the great Chopin. Without such penetrative genius a pianist is no more than a mere machine and with it he may develop into an artist of the highest type.”
▪️A Unique Attitude.
Reisenauer’s attitude toward the piano is unique and interesting. Musicians are generally understood to have an affectionate regard for their instruments, almost paternal. Not so with Reisenauer. He even goes so far as to make this statement: “I have always been drawn to the piano by a peculiar charm I have never been able to explain to myself. I feel that I must play, play, play, play, play. It has become a second nature to me. I have played so much and so long that the piano has become a part of me. Yet I am never free from the feeling that it is a constant battle with the instrument, and even with my technical resources I am not able to express all the beauties I hear in the music. While music is my very life, I nevertheless hate the piano. I play because I can’t help playing and because there is no other instrument which can come as near imitating the melodies and the harmonies of the music I feel. People say wherever I go, ‘Ah, he is a master.’ What absurdity! I the master? Why, there is the master (pointing to the piano), I am only the slave.”
▪️The Future of Pianoforte Music.
An interesting question that frequently arises in musical circles relates to the future possibilities of the art of composition in its connection with the pianoforte. Not a few have some considerable apprehension regarding the possible dearth of new melodic material and the technical and artistic treatment of such material. “I do not think that there need be any fear of a lack of original melodic material or original methods of treating such material. The possibilities of the art of musical composition have by no means been exhausted. While I feel that in a certain sense, very difficult to illustrate with words, one great ‘school’ of composition for the pianoforte ended with Liszt and the other in Brahms, nevertheless I can but prophesy the arising of many new and wonderful schools in the future. I base my prophecy upon the premises of frequent similiar (sic) conditions during the history of musical art.” These are Reisenauer’s views upon this matter.
Continuing, he said: “It is my ambition to give a lengthy series of recitals, with programs arranged to give a chronological aspect of all the great masterpieces in music. I hope to be enabled to do this before I retire. It is part of a plan to circle the world in a manner that has not yet been done.” When asked whether these programs were to resemble Rubinstein’s famous historical recitals in London, years ago, he replied: “They will be more extensive than the Rubinstein recitals. The times make such a series posssible (sic) now, which Rubinstein would have hesitated to give.”
As to American composers, Reisenauer is so thoroughly and enthusiastically won over by MacDowell that he has not given the other composers sufficient attention to warrant a critical opinion. I found upon questioning, that he had made a genuinely sincere effort to find new material in America, but he said that outside of MacDowell, he found nothing but indifferently good salon-music. With the works of several American composers he was, however, unfamiliar. He has done little or nothing himself as a composer and declared that it was not his forte.
▪️American Musical Taste.
Reisenauer says: “American musical taste is in many ways astonishing. Many musicians who came to America prior to the time of Thomas and Damrosch returned to Europe with what were, no doubt, true stories of the musical conditions in America at that time. These stories were given wide circulation in Europe, and it is difficult for Europeans to understand the cultured condition of the American people at the present time. America can never thank Dr. Leopold Damrosch and Theodore Thomas enough for their unceasing labors. Thanks to the impetus that they gave the movement, it is now possible to play programs in almost any American city that are in no sense different from those one is expected to give in great European capitals. The status of musical education in the leading American cities is surprisingly high. Of course the commercial element necessarily affects it to a certain extent; but in many cases this is not as injurious as might be imagined. The future of music in America seems very roseate to me and I can look back to my American concert tours with great pleasure.
▪️Concert Conditions in America.
“One of the great difficulties, however, in concert touring in America is the matter of enormous distances. I often think that American audiences rarely hear great pianists at their best. Considering the large amounts of money involved in a successful American tour and the business enterprise which must be extremely forceful to make such a tour possible, it is not to be wondered that enormous journeys must be made in ridiculously short time. No one can imagine what this means to even a man of my build.” (Reisenauer is a wonderfully strong and powerful man.) “I have been obliged to play in one Western city one night and in an Eastern city the following night. Hundreds of miles lay between them. In the latter city I was obliged to go directly from the railroad depot to the stage of the concert hall, hungry, tired, travel worn and without practice opportunities. How can a man be at his best under such conditions—yet certain conditions make these things unavoidable in America, and the pianist must suffer occasional criticism for not playing uniformly well. In Europe such conditions do not exist owing to the closely populated districts. I am glad to have the opportunity to make this statement, as no doubt a very great many Americans fail to realize under what distressing conditions an artist is often obliged to play in America.”

致各位親愛的粉絲專頁和社團朋友們:
七年前,開始臉書的粉絲專頁(#蜜塔木拉咖啡),隨後又開設「#天然酵母研究會」社團,透過臉書認識了來自世界各地的同好朋友,雖然大家都未曾面識,但是有一種「你懂我,我懂你」的親切感,在這段日子受到大家的鼓勵、支持和愛護,帶給我無限的充實感和成就感,也讓我學習更認真努力追求自我的進步。
人生,不同階段,不同風景。終於,人生來到了下半場了。
我的另一伴,將於今年七月一日正式從服務30年的公司光榮退休。
也是讓我開始好好思索和規劃第二人生的時刻。
我發覺,花太多時間在網路上了,一天裡有絕大部分都是在從事與網路相關的事,像是更新專頁、回覆留言、管理社團,製作影片都讓自己太過投入,除了時間精力的花費之外,隨著年紀增大,有點老花加近視,太長時間受藍光的刺激,視力大受影響,愈來愈吃力。
我想,我應該回歸到更為真實,更有溫度,自然簡約的生活方式,少一點藍光,多一點藍天白雲,青山綠水。把下半場的人生多花在我的家人身上,照顧自己和家人的健康,好好享受慢活人生。
所以,我將於今年7月1日後正式停止所有與臉書相關的事物,包括個人帳戶、粉絲專頁和封存社團。(臉書系統可能在15日前後就會執行指令)
facebook粉絲專頁停止更新。
facebook社團暫時封存。(資料完整保留,但所有動態活動停止,預計2020年底之前完全移除)
但是,對野生酵母烘焙、旅行和健身的熱情會一直持續下去,而且會「自娛娛人」地分享烘焙成果和生活點滴,所以我決定將保留Youtube頻道和Instagram分享。

感謝、感恩、感動!

Dear all my friends on my page and members in my group:
I am here to announce that I am going to quit Facebook, including deactivating my official page and archiving the group.
There are many reasons why I decided to leave Facebook.
First, my husband will retire on July first this year, which also allows us to do some hard thinking about our “retirement” life.
I found that I have spent too much time every day looking at screens, like updating the page, managing the group, writing and answering the requests or comments. Sometimes, I even started feeling obliged to those chores and tired of them.
For years, I have been blessed to have so many good friends around the world, who have consistently given greetings and comments on my page and it’s also a great pleasure for me to be able to share knowledge and experience of baking, cooking and daily life for such a long time through Facebook. However, when I found the eyesight gets worse with age, I really thought it was necessary to say no to excessive online stuffs.
Here, I sincerely show my gratitude and express deep appreciation to all of you. I will still keep updating my Youtube channel and Instagram account “on an irregular basis.” If you are still interested in “Mitamura”, please feel free to subscribe to my channel and keep in touch!
