Diwali and Kebaya..a mixture of traditions :p

I am sure that some of you already noticed about my passion towards Kebaya outfit. and no, i am not half indonesian whatsoever,answering to some of you who'd asked me many2 times before,seriously. Even though singers like Hetty Koes Endang, Broery and Tetty Kadi are among my favorites. hehehe.

and again..in my kebaya and off for a Diwali celebration organized by the indian student association.

Kebaya top by Uluwatu - http://www.uluwatu.co.id. Simply mix & match with different batik sarong or opt for a modern look by tying up batik pareo ( Noor Arfa / Innai have good selections of pareo!). Done that..did that!:)

Also, i decided to try this simple hair do for the event yesterday. A stuffed-in ponytail!

and last but not least...thank you mr official photographer!:))

next!

End of surgery rotation with Prof. Zigmantovich. The father of all surgeons in NNSMA.

Next in line is infectious disease rotation. The subject that i sort of hated. Seriously i have issues in trying to remember those tiny winy subjects causing diseases. and where serology is the mainstay of diagnosing. So boring. Lab people..how do you survive??

Temperature's dropping now!! Looking forward for the knee-length snow in few days time!:)

sweet tooth

Obviously,i am the type of person who greatly enjoy sweet foods. I've always wanted to learn how to bake a cake as early as 5 years old. Family and friends from the east coast will probably remember my cravings for 'jala mas, nek bat' - all eggs containing dessert with only- god- knows how much sugar they've had inside. So again obviously, scouting for good dessert is actually one of my way in spending the weekend.

To my surprise...Tiffani Bar in town has included this Molton Lava Cake in their menu! and it tasted just as good as The Apartment in KL.

Next is my first attempt on a pandan cheesecake for our (pot luck) nasi lemak dinner get together just now. I came across this superb blogspot - http://tiffinbiru.blogspot.com/. For you hardcore bloggers cum recipe hunters ( like me ;p), i'm sure that you are already familiar with Mat Gebu's ( named after the owner ker?).

So here's the recipe taken from http://tiffinbiru.blogspot.com/2009/05/pandan-cheese-cake.html. Easy, fast and tasted brilliant! To Mat Gebu, thank you for your wonderful recipe!My friends and i love it to bits. Maybe i can go out with different flavors as well one day :P

On another hand...my favorite season is finally here!!It's all white outside. Its time to put on my bear paw boots and go sleighing! :)

Pfffttt................hello - 8 ' C toooo !!!

Wished you all had a good weekend wherever you are,too!:)

Salam aidil adha to all Muslims celebrating.May this year's eid be filled with much happiness and peace, insyaAllah.

Had a good day off today from Prof Zigmantovich after the short weekend (hehe). Missed the eid solat this morning (sigh! was really hoping to go earlier on) simply because was busy being a sleeping beauty myself. Oh dear..what a waste. Got up around 10 ish, get things prepared and there..few of my closest ones sitting together,gluttoning on bowls of laksa johor each.Since its a day off ( a day off from prof ziggy..is like a serious big thing ok!!) a coffee session at the English Pub made our day today. Somewhat a bit tad different from the usual way of spending eid esp in Malaysia :p.

Things has been going on like usual for me,well apart from some sensitive/personal issues that concerns me. I know that at this stage ( read: final year) i'm not supposed to be sparing my time unnecessarily with unnecessary things.hehehe. Not that they're giving any impact in my life later on so why bother but being me, i love to express my feelings.i love to be vocal and i am one seriously very vocal.

It occurs to me that people have different ways in handling things, different way of interpreting things. I'm so aware of that but the point is, i couldn't help but to comment on some things which i consider as ridiculous.

1. The idea of helping/landing other people a hand is to make one's life easier in which ever way that is possible. Clearly, its not about getting credits or hoping for your wall-sized passport picture to be up on Hall of Fame.

2. Being the most calculative and selfish human in the community is so not cool okay. You've no award for that. Maybe we can have one for our Msian Night this coming March.

3. Women nowadays i tell you. With wedding bells ringing everywhere, some are pretty scared for not having a man to marry to. In my opinion, things like marriage are not meant to be rushed.If so, you still have your career to focus on to, then why worry. You (girls, take note please!) no need to go scouting for a man instantly ( especially after you've been dumped from your previous precious ex boyfriend! ) just to tell the world that you've moved on,that you're having the world all to yourself etc etc .....which in actual fact you're nothing but close to hurting yourself even more.

I remembered one saying from William Shakespeare something like ''God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.''

Its all yours to decide whats best!

weekend only for a day...

...if that is to happen for real...the world is surely not the best place to live after all!!

Surgery posting going on with mr-scary prof, a lot of revising,reading to do, laundry to attend to..kemas itu kemas ini......anddddddddd with the flu & cough i've had for the past entire week

( started antibiotic course already yesterday...), life is sort of hectic. I can't believe seeing i've pile of unfold clothing!! Undoubtedly, doctor = SUPERHUMAN!

All drained out for the week, bff called up for a 15% -off for English breakfast early today. Finally...a bit of leisure :).

Monday is few hours from now,hence the cycle of being busy. I can't imagine being a houseman with lack of sleep,rest ...basically lack of everything that i'm used to! Oh dear..and thats not long from now. It's actually a good training though..(shivers!).

Weather wise, surprisingly it's been really really good these few days. I'm actually in the midst of watching some drama going around me..ha ha ha...grow up people. Let's talk Jimmy Choo or something. There's nothing wrong with doctors playing dress up, no?? ;)

I better get going now since its already late. Journey to the hospital tomorrow will be quite tricky since its the first day of the week...and i just can't afford to be late!

till then...happy Monday blues :)))

Seriously nothing much lately, apart from being extra busy in surgical rotation ( still..till late November) under Prof Zigmantovich supervision. A typical surgeon, even his look tells you that he's a surgeon and what made him so special? He goes around making phewwww sound whenever one is late for class ( indicating '' you know the exit well'') and telling you things like...''you know what...this is rubbish! What is rubbish in Russian?''- followed by us saying '' мусор''

( pronounced as musor.)

and that very moment ....it alerts me on how my father will always go rubbish here..rubbish there whenever things doesn't seems to be going his way!

*waving to dad*

"_______"

On a different note, its going to be a working saturday today,hence a shorter weekend. With this sub febrile fever and productive cough i'm having right now, all i want is to wrap myself in bed,plus to being pampered with breakfast in bed..such (i know my little sister had that whenever she falls sick!).

In actual fact...one ( read: i ) can only dream. haha.

till i have more updates to update ...cheerios!:)

Deepavali celebration cum long weekend

As you can see from the above picture, i'm trying out the indian way of wearing the hijab.hehe.

I tell you, these friends are such great cooks. I had filling indian-styled Briyarni rice with chicken..and seriously speaking, the herbs got hold on to my fingertips till late at night! At last that's a substitution to Pelita Nasi Kandar back home :).

Next, we celebrated Ivon's 25th birthday in a cool quite french restaurants in the old town of Nizhny Novgorod. Typical French concept: a baguette sandwich for me..

and here...look at what the girls have been up to! drawing & sketching all over the sheet of paper placed on the table. French people loves to draw hence this concept applied in the restaurant.

All in all, i've had a wonderful long weekend. Well spent with dearest friends and been busy going around town. hahaha! Back to hospital and study schedules for now.

x0x0!

trying to be a model ,NOT!hehehe.

I'm on a long weekend break since yesterday due to some public holiday in Russia. Just a quick update..will keep posting later.

cheers!

questionnaire for you!

Here's a situation for you -

Part 1

A person came to you asking for your opinion on a certain matter....and yup, you had your ideas all laid out for her/him. With all the explanation needed, pros and cons altogether.

You will then :

A) wait patiently and let him/her to decide whats best.

B) encouraging him/her to follow what you think is best.again listing out all the pros and cons.

C) enough with the opinions and try not to get involve any further.

D) start to quarrel!

Part 2

Now, pretend that you're the one asking for help. How will you react after a friend of yours generously listing out suggestions in order to help you out?

You will :

A) listen carefully and thank your friend for being there for you.

B) arguing with your friend and say its a total rubbish.

C)pretend to nod hard , as if you're 100% agreeing on your friend's ideas but in real life...you think she/he is a total loser.

D)you're actually letting your friend talking to the wall.

Please do share on what you think, guys!

So November is here! Time passes by really fast, i couldn't even get hold to whatever i'm up to everyday. Classes till evening/late noon, evening nap ( headaches are my best friend at this time of the year), dinner and my study-table calling. I'll surely be missing my student life soon enough.

We'll be having a very long weekend this week due to Unity Day, meaning another public holiday..yipeee! I'm still thinking on how to spend the short break, well most probably nothing much though since the weather is a bit s0-s0. Sleep..eat...revising...again repeating.LOL;p

On another hand, i'm happy to see that many of my friends are coping well with the working world. Best friend Anne is being super busy (and trying hard not to forget me,as a matter of fact ;p), Afiq & Apit ( the 2 love birds...) are always in meetings all over the country while Adi is probably busy fixing phone cables ( he's a e&e engineer by profession btw) in Cyberjaya. hehehe. Well guys, i'll be joining you guys next year insyallah ( tapi i nak apply jauh2 lah ..meaning no Arrawsyar after my first pay.hahaha..gotta act smart a bit.lol;p ).

On a totally different note, some things are better left unsaid.....!
