8-9-10

Today is a special day! Not only because I made it special, but also because the date itself is special =P

Just wanna write a quick note here, the Punctuality Award goes to Miss Wong Ling Weng who called me at 12am sharp to wish me happy birthday, and she did it last year too!

It was also quite embarrassing when Chean Ying announced to our Index Case group and tutor after our tutorial that today's my birthday, and she MADE everyone sing birthday song for me (including the tutor)!

看书看书~

最近看了一部小说，名叫《和空姐同居的日子》，花了两个晚上的时间就看完了（正确来说是两个凌晨，第二个凌晨我从12.30am看到3am，5am自动醒后看到7am再继续睡到9am），实在是很好看（不然我也不用这么急着看完）。上网找一下才知道那部小说曾经在网络上一夜风行，大受好评……我果然没有download错的application！之后发现有电影版和连续剧版，还有《和空姐同居的日子2》小说……迫不及待要看完！

p/s: 图画只是来陪衬这个post，不是书的封面，我看的小说是soft copy的。

Makan makan

Fried fish for the first time! (salmon doesn't count as fried fish)

Malaysian curry chicken with potato....

What a funny shape. Any guesses?

The different colours of rice

I was browsing through my old posts out of boredom and came across the post that I said I would write about Kelantan's food. In this first post I'll be introducing the different colours of rice available in Kelantan....

Let's start with Nasi Dagang, which is red in colour.




A quick search on the web revealed that Nasi Dagang is a local food both in Kelantan and Terengganu. So it's a food of the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia =)

You mainly eat it with kerutuk daging (beef), or chicken curry, or fish if you like.

This looks exactly the same as what I usually eat in KB as breakfast!

Next up is nasi kerabu, blue colour rice.








As you can see this is mainly eaten with raw vegetables (e.g. bean sprouts and cucumber), some spices/onion (I am not sure what is it called), fish...and you mix everything together and eat with keropok~

Then we have kau-jam, which is green in colour.




Similarly, we mix the rice with raw vegetable (mainly cucumber) and raw onion, and eat with fried fish or chicken, and keropok. What is different is that kau-jam originates from Thailand (kau = rice, jam = mixed). (Fact: Thailand is just across the border of Kelantan, so you can find a lot of Thai food in Kelantan as well)

Keropok is a popular local food in Kelantan...you can eat it with almost anything~ you can find keropok made of fish, sotong, and I think maybe prawn too...and in any colour and size as well. (I eat it quite often coz my mom always fry it at home, as snack for afternoon tea or when my friends are visiting...so yea, come to KB!)

Oh, one more thing that I should mention...kau-jam and Nasi Kerabu is best eaten with your own hands.....mix everything together and nom nom nom =P

Good...Friday

Last Monday afternoon I was at the Urodynamics clinic with a Chinese doctor who is a Fellow in O&G (no idea where he's from, just that he's a Chinese and I know he understands Mandarin because he mentioned about a Chinese proverb with 'thousand hands' in it...)...

On Tuesday morning I went to the Urogynaecology clinic and saw him there again, so I sat in with him to see patients.

Yesterday morning I was scheduled to join the surgical team at the operating theatre, so I changed into scrubs (you know when you're in scrubs and the 'shower cap' it can take a while to recognise someone..)....as I was walking towards the threatre I saw a Chinese guy sitting near the table....we were staring at each other for a few seconds before he said, '又是你' in Cantonese! Hahaha what a surprise when he suddenly spoke Cantonese to me.

Then later in the afternoon I went to menstrual clinic to see patients with a registrar. We were allocated to a small stuffy room. As I had runny nose and cough he asked me, 'Are you okay?' while looking at me with a purposely-made sad-looking face....super funny and cute hahaha =P (yeah I was surprised)
