still very sick

cough cough.. sniff sniff.

i haven't felt so sick in a long while.
my nose is blocked and my throat is still sore. T.T

and my voice is like shit like that. AHHH!!

i have a lecture at 10.40. looking at the lecture notes, i not sure if i want to go for it or not.
i am so lazy.

sore throat

my throat hurts every time i swallow. i blame it on the tempura i had for dinner last night and the beer that followed it. PLUS, hans cooked up alot of deep fried nasi lemak dishes for his symbolic moving in.

help!

and the pediatrics assignment is a WHOLE LOAD OF CRAPPY CRAP.

>.<

argh

i hate gindis. this online war fighting, country owning game. my boyfriend is hooked. at home, he plays it, in between lessons he insists on going to the computer labs to 'check something'. when we are walking on the streets, he hurries me so that he can go home soon to 'make sure no one attacked my country'.

machiam the computer game is alive like a pet like that.


i do not comprehend computer games. the only game that i actually enjoy playing is solitaire, and i am not even very good at it. all that clicking and staring at the computer screen, very fun meh?

my boyfriend is only preoccupied with 4 things in his life: studies, food, me and computer games. its not that i am jealous of a game, hell, NO... but sometimes it just amazes me, the way he focuses on the game and become oblivious to the rest of the world.

and it's finally friday! yippee! except i have assignment due next friday, so i better start working on it yeah.

headaches

i kind of regret thinking that i want a case that will possesss more oomph.

coz right now, i have all the oomph i need in the world.
the current case..

an 57 yr old lady with sudden onset headaches, associated with neurological symptoms such as limb weakness and all.

AHHH. i must revise all my brain work!

on a brighter note, at least it is not my turn to do case write ups tomorrow! woo hoo!

to the moon and back

this week zoomed by really quickly.

a whole week of hip fractures, falls risk assessment and 'how to take care of an old granny'.

whilst interesting, it did not provoke much medical brain development in me.

i hope the next case will have more 'ommph'. i dunno, like a massive stroke, or a crazy abdominal pain.. or something totally random from house. something that will leave me perplexed and bewildered.

haha. i am becoming one of them.. who thinks patients are just puzzles waiting to be unraveled and solved. speaking of which: house season 3 is coming out in september! i can't wait!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

i made my french yoghurt cake again on friday. brought it to my friend's humble dwellings. it was part of our barter trade agreement. i shall not disclose what i traded it for. if not everyone will start wanting some. hohoho. but garry my hungry friend came over at midnight and polished off the remains of my cake. and i thought i could have some cake for brekkie the next morning.

Garry is a funny person. he's always over at victor's place. and he actually enjoys sleeping on vic's couch. and he really likes the cold water in his fridge too. even though we just fill the bottle up with tap water. and we told him that there is nothing special at all with the water.

garry my funny and hungry friend. i shall put up a pic of him. just for.. visual impact.

victor and garry.
(i told you he is always hungry)

sleep

i have been sleeping like a log.

friday night: 11+ pm till 11am = 12 hours
saturday night: 8+ pm till 8am = 12 hours
sunday: nap from 10 till 12+noon = 2 hours

that is like... MORE THAN A DAY'S WORTH OF SLEEP IN LESS THAN 3 DAYS!

O.O

i need some coffee? redbull?

SOMETHING!!!!!

pudding time!

Hmm, what is that yellow mushy thing in the bowl???
Clue:

You will invariably find it at a dim sum restaurant.
Very popular with the Hong Kong folks
It's made from a tropical fruit.

Answer:
Mango pudding!

Alright guys, this mango pudding turned out SO GOOD. like it is so silky smooth. and the mango taste just burst in your mouth like a firecracker.

A pity that i did not add any cut mango bits into the pudding. I was.. running abit low on mangoes so all the mango that I had ended up in the pudding.

Some of you might wonder "australia now so cold where got mangoes?"
Well, you are right. It isn't really mango time now.
But I found some mangoes from Mexico! Which were plump, yellow and juicy. Even though they weren't really that sweet.. but who cares, it ended up in the pudding anyhow.

Ta-da! Mango Pudding!

happy national day folks

I guess the only affinity i felt towards singapore came in the form of local food, all homely prepared by the singapore association. i helped out at the stall during the peak hours. yvonne and i were cutting up the mua chee dough and tossing them around in the peanut and sugar. kinda fun and goooey! haha

i don't know why but i feel as though the things that matter alot to me in sg.. have dwindled in numbers the longer i spent my time in adelaide. maybe the prolonged periods away from home has revealed to me what really matters in my life. you will be surprised at the amount of shit you can put up with when u are out of your comfort zone.

house abit dirty, never mind, clean when i have the time.
nothing to eat? just make do with instant mee.
cold? wear more layers and then tahan the cold.

and the list goes on and on. because seriously, life is too short to be wasted on cleaning the house and worrying about what to fill your belly with at every single meal. i have other things that i want to do in my life.

its so strange.

this national day feels kinda forlorn.

tuesday blues

have been really tired since saturday.

sat night we went to adrian's place for housewarming... followed by a special dinner with vic on sunday.. and yesterday i went to visit my pregnant lady who lives 1 hour bus ride out of the city.. and today was hosp day.

so didnt really have any time to rest or sleep.

hopefully things will turn for the better after wednesday.

Mee Chiang Kueh

Hello I am Mee Chiang Kueh. Also known as Mun Chiang Kueh, Mey Cheang Kueh. Whatever you call me, I usually ignite a peanuty and sweet thought in your mind. I am usually sold in the market or hawker centre, perfect for a weekend brunch. I am crunchy yet soft and fluffy.

This is Victor, who is pretending to cook me. Daphne is the one who made all the ingredients, while Victor posed for the photo. But the pan belongs to him, so that's some credit.

This is me, almost ready. Sitting quietly on the crepe pan while I brown and turn crispy.

Daphne was very innovative. Inside of stuffing me with peanuts and sugar, she made me savoury by putting ham and cheese. I think the change of personality was refreshing. I was yummilicious!

I am also extremely versatile. Victor thought that I could be good friends with ice-cream. Ice cream was a little cold towards me initially, but I think we are quite compatible for eating purposes.

This is some of me. Bitemarks courtesy of Daphne Law.

And ta-da! Me in my full glory. Have some of me today!
