And there is a certain methodology that we should adopt in stirring sugar - so as to appear civilised and courteous, and avoid drawing too much attention to ourselves by making so much noise.
Stirring using the mamak methodology,i.e. by positioning the spoon sideways and going back and forth vigorously, is out of the question. It WILL create too much sound that people may think, you want to make an urgent announcement or speech.
We are taught or told to stir in a circular motion - it's quieter. But the problem is, it takes donkey years longer (and I'm exaggerating
Not a problem anymore.
I have come out with a bloss methodology, where you can achieve both quiet-civilised-courteous way of stirring AND have the sugar dissolve in the same timing as it would using the mamak methodology!
Now, what you do is, you hold the spoon facing you, then you move it from one side of the cup to the other side, in a wave like manner. The turning at each end, should not be sharp or jerky, but should be in a circular motion to avoid any spillage. If you do it exactly as I've told/shown you, you can stir it FAST, and I guarantee you (insyaAllah) the tea/coffee will not spill. Nor will you make any noise, because it is easy to avoid hitting the sides, stirring it this way - due to the pressure of the liquid against the spoon.
Best of all, in 2-3 rounds, of course provided that the tea/coffee is still HOT, the sugar would have, all, dissolved.
This method was tried and tested just now. 2 sachets of sugar were used in this R&D project.
Next time, you all try lah.
Can try at home also.
Practise makes perfect.
*methodology - just another fancy word for method.
The after effect of attending an IT seminar. This is another thing to blog about. BIG WORDS.

ha ha .. this entry is a true testament that you have seriously reached almost to the bottom of your to-do list for the day. banyak betul masa.
p/s methodology > is also widely used in research articles & proposals. another BIG word supposedly-BIG people like to use. nonsense. one thing i learn about english is that if you can use less words & letters to describe what you are trying to say, you jollywell use it. duh ..
hahahah.. hmm..
actually no lah.. there is still a long list.. but I was seriously thinking about this, as I was stirring my tea like that.
You know.. sometimes people (especially ME) ponder about the weirdest things.
I think I have been using the Bloss method(ology) all along without realising it :)
Now, can you tell us how to eat biscuits/crackers without making too much noise? Any Bloss method(ology) to share?
Bloss methodology? Ma haza? *testing*... Stir.. stir.. stir.. Aiseyman, caya, unbelievable! it really works!
title > to eat biscuits/crackers with no noise.
zee-thod(logy) > to dip biscuits/crackers in coffee/tea stirred using the Bloss method(ology)prior to placing food items into mouth area.
yaslam/zee,
one more idea on how to eat without noise. Put biscuit/cracker in mouth, suck it first.
Sucking it first, will make the biscuit/cracker softer, due to the enzyme in the biological fluid secreted in your mouth, which is a catalyst for a biological chemical reaction.
And thus, less noise will be emitted from munching the biscuit/cracker.
redtide,
it works kan?! :D
I'll be having a course on "Reduction of Noise Pollution during Consumption". You all nak register?
"Reduction of Noise Pollution during Consumption" >> sure an interesting course eh bloss! hehe
=D
And, the word 'Mamak' reminds me of the teh sarbat la @ Arab St!
