Hard feelings before departure.......

It has been long ago since I logged in here to write. 2 months of holidays passed and it's time to get back into the books! I have not miss Malaysia that much before. I just don't feel like leaving the country, though it doesn't seems to be in a stable condition now, with everyday bad news highlighted.

When a person is getting older, he/she tends to be more attached to the family. Is it true? I recalled the day I was departing to Russia to do my pre-medical, I was full of hopes and excitement. I just wanted to fly across the oceans and contigents to survive with bread and cheeses. And now......

I miss my mom, though she is getting more and more naggy as time passed, my dad, getting warmer as he's getting older, and my stupid fat brother, that always steals my food from my plate. I miss both my grandparents, they had become much thinner than before. I miss my aunties and uncles and my newly born niece.

4 years ago, I would have said, separation is a part of life, as there's a chinese saying, "Every gathering will end with separation."; and now, I am unwilling to leave.

Well, the only dependant now is on God, and the prayer is, "God, make it possible for me to see everyone again 2 years later when I graduate." My grandparents might be very old, but I really want to see them again!

Missing you all......

Malaysian-Chinese

Malaysia?!!? My country......


Honestly, I am proud of myself for being a Malaysian-Chinese.

Not because of the government, nor the beauty of the seasides, but because Malaysian-Chinese loves eating everything!!!! I mean EVERYTHING!

Healthy recipe
When you serve an African with Chinese food, such as Chinese herbal soup.

They might not like it at all.

There was once I invited my African friends home and served them with Chinese food, I was quite sad seeing them taking it quite forcefully... =(

However, there is an exception, who named Bankole, He loves eating Malaysian and Chinese food! (Bankole is one of my dearest brothers that helps me along my spiritual growth. We worked together around the clock, we went picnic together, we ate and had fun together! )

Sweet tooth...
What about something sweet?!? Will they like it?

I am not so sure, but there was once I cooked a desert, which most of us, Malaysian-Chinese, loved, was rejected by my Indian friends!

Curry is the best!

When we enjoyed eating curry (which I think most Malaysians do!) Chinese from china find it weird!

We love varieties!
Not only that, we simply love eating western food, such as Italian food and Spanish food; Asian food, such as Japanese sushi and Korean kimchi; Indian food and Parkistan food, those with all kinds of spices; and even african food! (I love eating maze dough - mangka; fermented ones, such as kenkey; and so on.)



I have had dinners with our friends from china; though we speak the same language, have the same mother tongue, but I think our own tongues (I mean taste buds :P) are so much different!


Generally, most of them find Malay food and Indian food, too spicy to be consumed.

Moreover, you will find plenty of "Malay+Chinese" cuisine back in Malaysia, such as Nyonya kuih. (I wonder do they have POPIAH in other countries??!?)

I think there are much much more food we enjoy eating! That's what makes me proud being a Malaysian-Chinese! Mixture of culture brings much satisfaction to the stomach! =D

Happy Birthday!!

Didn't think of anything to write for 2 days. Ya.. I wanted to post about his birthday celebration but I just don't know why I don't have much idea to write until now, 18:49, 15 May 2009 (Friday). (~Yesterday was Wei Soon's birthday~ I have been teased since the day before... Hahahaha..)

##01
Alright! There was a question - "What are you going to do for him?"

MCQ somemore.... Hahahaha (A. Cooking for him a nice dinner? B. Bringing him out for food? C. Buying him something?)

Well. I guess my answer was quite disappointing for some of my friends. (I felt it through their expressions) - I made him peanut butter and going to make Giant Dai Pao!

##02
"I heard you made him a Dai Pao wo... Where is mine?" - I was teased again the day after. Well! What means by Dai Pao? Let's observed together......

Well... Why is it seems like having green lining on top of it? Hehehehhe...... It supposed to be like --------->

Ooopppppsssss......FAILED...... =P

Honestly, I didn't buy him presents but I made him this ------->


Quite pathetic right? No nice dinner, no nice present... No expensive stuff......

Will he like them? Hahahhhahh =P

*P/S: Don't know why I used so much time to complete this post... Sigh...... Anyway... Hope that he had a happy birthday celebration =)

Recipe for making Paos??? Tell you when I successfully make a really good one *** =D

Nice Jokessss...

1st scene:
"Hey! The bus is there, do you want to run after it?" Shu Shien asked.

(Introducing: Shu Shien is my groupmate and she is the fastest among all of us, she reachs class the first and reachs home the first too. Her personal displayed message on her MSN messanger used to be - every minutes count!)

"What's the bus NO.?" I asked. "Erm... No. 42."

"Will it head to our place?"...... She smiled (Both of us knew the answer was NO!)

"Will you probably leave your kids somewhere in future?" I asked and we laughed.

*** ***

2nd scene:
It started to rain heavily when we were on our way back traveling in the bus to the nearest metro... Both of us have no umbrella and we have predicted our "outcome"......

So, when the bus stopped at the bus stop, we were on our mark, get set...... GO!!!


Where is she??!?! She turned the other way and I wasn't sure where is she heading to......

"Hey! This way!" I turned and screamed. Luckily she heard me.... Wahahahhhaahha....

Every minutes count! =P (I guess the best present for her birthday must be something that can help her to speed up every steps she take =P wahahhahaha...)

*** ***

3rd scene:
It's very hard to explain this, and if you aren't staying in moscow, you might not understand it. The story went like this - after traveling via metro, we have to take another turn of bus before we got home. And she wanted to reload her phone credit with the machine near the bus stop.

I wasn't sure why, but she seems she was in a hurry and tucked the money into the machine before even entering her own phone No.

Another joke for the day. =D


**As a conclusion, this is not a blog written to laugh at her, but a blog written about one of my lovely group mate. I have told her I am going to post this for sure and she is going to clarify it through comments =) - Beng, your post, I have postponed due to our Big Sis - Shu Shien! =D You are so lucky!

our big sis is 2nd from the left =)

Happy Mother's Day!

Who are they??!? They are my parents. =) Do they look alike? 90%I guess..... Beautiful couple in NEW YORK! Why? It's my brother graduation, so, they went on a trip to this developed city. They seldom travel overseas, except from honey moon and one more time to Hong Kong, this was the 3rd time they flew, they flew half around the globe to attend my brother's graduation. =)

Why am I putting up the photo? Erm... Would like to introduce here my mom, and wish all mothers - Happy Mother's Day!

I am excited, excited to go home, excited to see them in July. Honestly, I have never been excited going home as I have phobia taking plane. However, I really miss them, miss their nagging voice, miss their love. =)

Mothers...
I was brought up in this family. Easily? I guess so... You got to ask my mom. My parents always say my brother and I was very quiet when we were young until...... I was 9 years old I guess, we started to fight. Fight for places, fight for toys, fight for a lot more things and he is 3 years older than me. Bad right? =P

My mom is a housewife. Though she doesn't cook well, often make the food too salty, she does house work pretty good, especially ironing and folding the clothes. O ya, she wrapped my school books well too, my classmates often jealous of me. =)

What's her hobby? This is the simplest question if you ask any of our family members. It's watching TV shows. Not all, only Chinese speaking ones either Mandarin, or Cantonese, or Hokkien. Don't ever ask her out for any English movies, she never like them.


Got touched
I was touched when I saw the mothers in labor or preparing for labor suffered so much in pain during my obstetrics cycle. I wonder those out there who saw it would have felt the same? I remember my dad always said I was delivered a month earlier than I should have be. Well, it's a nice story though =)


Well... Don't be mistaken, I wasn't delivered in the supermarket.... I was just giving my mom and dad the signs =P ~Healthy baby yea! =) (o ya.. the kid in the supermarket was my brother...)

It was 21 years ago......

Do they look alike??!? -One family- =)

Where am I??!?? Studying in Russia.. Sigh....

~Happy Family~

Save the world......

What is the quantity consumed by a 7-year-old boy, weighted 20kg, would bring him to death?

What is the cause of his death if it's not overdosed medication?

Where are the documents about his admission to the hospital?

Why have the doctor that requested him to be admitted proclaimed that he was poisoned by overdosed paracetamol?

... ... ... ...


I was angry when I first read the news about his death. I was even angrier when I read the news about the denial of the cause of his death was due to overdosed medication. I wasn't there and I don't have the proof, I really hope the government and the authorities will really look into the case.

Will I be the one?
As a medical student, I am worry that I might not have learned enough for my future profession. I am worry that I will disappoint the patients that have entrusted us for their lives. Will I be the one that repeat the mistake again? I pray that it will not ever happen! Let's get serious with our studies!

Life matters
Every patients that came to us, our responsibility is to make them better, let them be relieved from the torturing of their sickness. My dad used to say, "Nowadays, doctors are just like businessman, they mind money more than healing." I hope this is not the truth, and this will never be the truth! We were given lives, we have to appreciate lives, yours, mine, and theirs!

...... "Be patient, don't be angry! It's alright, the case will be settled in a right way..." I tried to calm myself...
