24 march...a super adventurous day..

this blog is going to be LOOOONGG...
I start off by waking up at 8am...prepared my presentation slides for one of the modules..(individual...not grouped).. i arrived at the uni around 11.30am and the presentation started at 12.30pm until 1pm..

BUT...i have an appointment at 12.45pm with the GP for my mumps vaccination!! gullpp!! i rushed to health care center just to know that my appointment was postponed to 5pm...okay, nevermind bout that...my friend and i head off to a korean restaurant and i had a chicken bimbimbap..a traditional korean delicacy...i forgot to take a picture of that...

Then we head off to Chinatown to buy some ingredients to make 'snowskin mooncake' and mochi...which is pandan flavoured...we bought pandan leaves, icing sugar, red bean, flour etc etc...

Then we arrived his place around 2.30pm i guessed and started our baking session!! along with his sister... i had to boil the red bean and blend it just to make the red bean paste for our mooncake and mochi fillings... then, we had to blend the pandan leaves and sift it to discard the pulp (pulp? is that how they call it in baking language? i dont know...but i prefer to call it precipitate or pellet! hahhaha!)

i'll skip the cooking stuff now...kinda lazy to talk about it...pictures says a lot more...hahha! but i forgot to take the picture of the snowskin mooncake...coz we ate it right after making it...talk about starvation! haha! but my mochi had to be left to cool down, so i cant make it at once since i had to rush to health care center at 5pm...

i rushed off at 4.50pm and ran all the way to the health care center...and i arrived 5pm SHARP! gym is a good thing, you know? hahhaha! Then i waited till 5.30pm and went in for vaccination...

i asked the nurse...

"izzit painful? how painful is it? i am scared...how big is the syringe? any side effects?"

he patiently answered every questions and tried to calm me..."i will pinch you to divert the pain..be ready...here i come!!!"

*jab*
*silence*

*cried*

he gave me tissues and tried to console me..

"you know, a lot of people cried when they got injected.....those kids are scared of injection...and you have to come back after a month for booster injection"
*shocked**wordless*
a lot of people cried = consoling
those KIDS = shame on me
second injection = WHAATT? ***tuutttt***

he asked me to sit around and i told him i had to rush off...i reached home around 5.45pm and changed...put on a nice dress...but covered with raincoat...shhesshh...cant even show off my nice top..

I meet up my friend and we went for a Malaysian night dinner where we had murtabak for starter, nasi lemak as main course and bubur pulut hitam for dessert...we walked for 45mins in the light drizzle (uphill)...we had our starter and main course...but the dessert never came..it costs me 6 pounds for a horrible dinner...

my didi kept on insisting that we should leave early...i supported him...coz they are putting on some stupid shows...such as raping dikir barat (whatever that means), mixing songs and sing it in some funny way....and the MC...is a FAILURE!!! that MC is a 3rd year law student...but...he cant even speak in proper way...argh...he is too gay as well...he keep on shrieking (happily) for no reason...

so, we head off to Maharaja...where we had our second dinner...hahhaha! until 11pm...then, i head off to my friend's place and continue moulding my mochi until 2am...and i arrived home around 2.15am...i sleep around 3am (bathing and online chatting..) and i woke up at 8am to head off for class today....10am...then, 12.30pm, i went to the bank to sort out my stuffs until 2.30pm...so...came back, blog...that's it!! i have another presentation tomorrow! Group thing...hopefully it will be good....mine is the first group...

presenting my pics!!


THE murtabak...starter...this is TINY...unpalatable...yuck!
my nasi lemak..it was so-so...i ate half, threw half...

Dikir barat wor...and the Rapper-wannabe (meng-yasoi-kan orang malaysia)

Maharaja's papadrum...nice....


sag bhaji? forgotten the indian name...but it's oriental pumpkin cooked with tomato n curry


This is sag aloo...spinach with potatoes...very nice...


My pandan mochi with red bean paste filling! damn nice! too bad, the greenish colour is not obvious enough...no colouring and preservatives~ yum-yum... (looks like i can sell it for 2 pound a box...anyone?)

we played around with different sizes of mochi...look at the ENORMOUS MOCHI!


My tiny mochi compared to the enormous one...




okay...no more funny pic...this looks ugly, i know...but take note of the thickness of the mochi skin...this is why i like baking it myself...thin-skinned, lotsa fillings!!! muahhahaha! that red bean paste really killed my arms...
