萧煌奇的传奇


刚刚在网上(http://sugoideas.com) 观看一部最近在东风47 上映的王牌大明星。这集邀请来的明星有林志炫及萧煌奇。。 这两位都是好朋友,而且对歌坛作出了伟大的贡献。。。

其中,另钦佩的是萧煌奇。。 他是当今歌坛上,我认识唯一的盲人明星。。。 因此对他那种坚韧不解的精神给佩服了。。 很想知道他到底是什么原因的情况下造成他失明,使到他的世界顿时陷入的黑暗。。

在好奇心的驱使下,我就到GOOGLE 寻找他的个人资料。。

原来,他是一名视障歌手,出生后不久就患上白内障而失明。。 但在4岁时,他成功了做了眼视手术, 恢复了微弱的视力长达10 年。 就在他15岁那年,因任性而过渡用眼,导致他完全失眠。。他曾经沮丧懊恼过,失意痛苦过,内敛的他,音乐陪他度过了最坚熬的日子。。

萧煌奇在 2002 年写了〈你是我的眼〉,并以这首歌卷全台,成为KTV 排行榜的常胜军。。他也写不少感人的华语及一些米南语歌。。。在他 的职业生涯也荣纳了不少的奖项。。。他的精神是值得我们去学习的。。

Mayang Tea - 1


On 14 & 15 October, Prof Kopli Bujang organized a field trip to Sarawak Tea Manufacturing Company- Mayang Tea Sdn Bhd. Mayang Tea Sdn Bhd is located about 90 km from the Kuching city. It take us about 2 hours drive from UNIMAS. This project was established on 1982 by Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (SALCRA)...
This company is located between Kampung Mayang and Kampung Engkeroh.... It official website is http://www.mayang-tea.com.my/index_mayangtea.htm.




Mayang Tea is actually the lowland but not highland tea... So the tea is planted at an altitude of around 200 -800 feet above the sea level.. Lowland tea and highland tea different in taste and colour... For lowland tea, it has a very very strong dark brown in colour and strong taste... Mayang tea plantation consists of about 166 hectar areas o Native Customary Right (NCR) and it is owned by 174 Bidayuh families. Every year, Sarawak state government will subsidiary about RM 200,000 -RM 300, 000 to ensure the continuous operation and production of Mayang Tea Sdn Bhd.






We was brought to the plantation.. We are taught which part of tea leaves is the best to be processed... Normally the Mayang Tea plucker will pluck the first 2- 3 shoot of young tea leaves... After some explanation, we are allow to do our own tea plucking !!... Haha... it is really enjoyable...



I and friend taking photo at the tea plantation... I manage to pluck a pack of tea leaves... Haha!!





 

This is how the plucker usually pluck tea leaves.. The first of 2 -3 shoots of young tea leaves.. According to the officer at Mayang Tea Sdn Bhd, processing the first 2-3 shoots of young leaves taste better...

Mayang Tea - 2



Every morning, around 6.30am, the tea plucker will begin to pluck the tea leaves... Around 7.30am, they will finished plucking and sent the plucked tea leaves to factory to process.... They are kept inside the guni bag...




 

 

At the factory, the tea leaves are sent via the troller (red) in the withering room. The leaves is wilted for about 16 -18 hours...

 
 
Withering is done in troughs of 4.5' x 60' each which can hold about 900 kg of leaf. 

 

 

After 16- 18 hours withering process, the tea leaves is then sent for rolling... In this process, the leaf cells are broken up... The release of the natural substances and flavor is regulated to give tea its aroma to develop after rolling...

 

 

 



The chemical components are mixed with enzymes which are released by cells in rotorvane machines via 3 passes. The rolled leaves are then separated into different sizes using rotary sifters.. After the separation, the leaves were placed onto Aluminium trays for fermenting in next stage. There are several machines which have been developed to achieves rolling process. But in Mayang Tea Plantation, the rotorvane is applied. Other types of machines like orthodox roller and C.T.C (Crushing, Tearing, Curling) machines or the combination of these machines are also used to perform rolling in others plantation.



Fermentation is the most fundamental process in tea manufacturing. In this process, different taste of tea can be produced by managing the fermentation time. In Mayang Tea Company, the crushed tea leaves are put into the tray and let it ferment for 2- 3 hours. They use the room temperature to carry out oxidation process and along this process the aroma is emitted. The fermentation process changes the leaves into different color and favor...

 

Mayang Tea - 3


After rolling and fermenting, the tea leaves are transferred into drying machine.. The fermented tea leaves are put on the top of this dryer and were dried inside the machine. The temperature is at the range of 160 0F to 200 0. In this stage, the moisture of the leaves is reduced to 2 % - 3% and the fermentation process is stopped. After this process, the tea is used for grading...




This is the grading machine... Mayang Tea Sdn Bhd graded their tea into 4 different categories which DUST 1, DUST 2, DUST 3 and BOP.
The best category is DUST 3.... Normally, BOP is not used to make tea but manufactured to become fertilizer.

 






The official is showing to us the different between DUST 1 and DUST 2 tea leaves




After grading, they are separated in to different bag

 

This machine is used to make small small packing 3 in 1 tea bags... Every day manage to produce 150 tea bags.... This machine is known as Ima C 21 machine...

 

Mayang Tea - 4

In the end of this trip, we are served to taste the ice Lemon tea.. So cold... Nice!! Every one of us is taking the lemon tea away by refilling into our own drinking bottle..




All of us crowded at the resting room in order to taste the free and nice ice lemon tea...

 

This is wat we are served... Cold Ice Lemon Tea...

 

 


Before we move back to UNIMAS, we have a photography session with our lecturer, Prof Kopli Bujang

In the mid of September, it is the world biggest Flower Rafflesia Glooming period... So, not to miss out the only opportunity, I followed my friends to Gunung Gading National Park to see such a wonderful and rare flower...

We went twice, the first time miss out the glooming period, so no matter wat we went there again for the second time just to see this flower... This flower only gloom once a year and every time glooming only last for 5 days....

Since all of us are already final year studied in UNIMAS, if not going to view such flower, then probably we don't have any more chances again... :- )



Back view of Rafflesia... Rafflesia is actually a parasite plant. It entangled on others plants for nutrients...



This Rafflesia that we see already gloom for 4 days... It going wilt may be another 1 or 2 more days....
