finally..it arrived!

The long awaited snow has finally arrived!! Not to say that there weren't any before..i mean to say the REAL Russian snow! pheewww.. its way taller than i am,looking almost like a snow-desert out there..!

Had a pot-luck dinner just to welcome the snowy season. Had my first try on a grilled stuffed chicken. Invented the recipe from scratch ( with whatever available within reach) but well, it tasted just as fine :). Not to forget our recent hobby, making tartlets. And so we made some mixed fruit tartlets with custard filling too:)

and thats me..trying to look like Santa's baby sister. haha :)

Hope you've had a wonderful weekend too.

Season's Greetings to all of you! :)

Snowing and Xmas is approaching!

Wowww..!its been quite some days not updating in here. Things are good..weather wise..windy but the snow flakes seem to be very very pleasantly abundant this year. Oh yes,,did i mentioned about the bruises i had on my both knees after one session in the skating rink? To top up to that, i slipped few times in this one month alone. Is it the icy road or is it just me getting old here? ;p

Snow and Christmas seems very much alike and so Boxing Day. I'm pretty sure you hardcore shoppers in the UK are getting ready to que up as early as 6am in front of Harrods. How i wish to be there too! but yeahh.big boss doesn't seems to be allowing that since i'm in my final year

(where more books are concern!)..i shall probably need to save up from day 1 of houseman-ship to be able to bring my sister for a Boxing Day trip in Paris, perhaps!

By the way, what's so special about the heavy snow in UK? All major airports being closed down and its only -7'C...?Let's just hope that the British will do some 'extraction' of technologies from the Russians on their winter 'issues'. hahaha! We even go to school at -35'C with all the public transports running smoothly. Will be heading on to Moscow next week for a few days during the New Year break...and let's just hope the weather is as mild as possible, and that the winter sale is heaven as it can be! I seriously need this break esp at the midst of doing Gynecology rotation!

Thinks thats that..will update in here more often with more pictures to come! Have a nice weekend everyone :).

Dining and Culture..together.

When i first heard about the existence of such a thing in Nizhny Novgorod, i really can't wait to venture those new eating places in town. Being someone used to going for weekend high-tea with family back home, it is actually a look- forward- to- event as well.

Good food = good weekend= everything is good :).

It started of with a friend suggesting a place called Bezuhov. Nice interior although food is not that much of a variety. It is still a nice place for latte and some desserts.

Price wise (in scale of 5 = 3.5).

Next is Bufet. A dungeon liked place with delicious russian cuisine. Price wise is superb..5/5!

Where else can you get a moxito (without alcohol) for only 40 Rubles?? Even the berry cake was good. Sorry, couldn't show you guys the proper image of the place since it is really2 small for us to move around snapping pictures.

The Kitchen was our next try. Price wise is errr...quite expansive. I think Dome in KLCC offers a better price tag! Only their coffee was relatively cheaper than any other places that we've been to though. Cheese cake is a must try although it can easily cost you 215 rubles

( RM 21approximately) for a portion. No doubt that the food presentation was beyond amazing!

Ambiance was excellent..somewhat close to being in Nikko Hotel KL.

As for today, we brought ourselves to Moloko ( means 'Milk'). Good food with a-student-like price tag with an interior somewhat close to Full House restaurant in KL. European, Japanese and Russian cuisine all in one roof.

Well, there are still few more places for us to discover...will keep updating on Eda u Kultura!:)

Ever since our dearest TV3 made some changes to its website, i hardly been watching some tv shows online. Except for my weekly series of Gossip Girl ( well who doesn't!). I'm not really a tv- addict unlike some people i know, who can spend hours watching tv shows ( i rather do some heating to the stove rather than that). Usually, only weekend movie night with roomate and that will do. But today...i found one Indonesian film via YouTube and is really a good one -

The story line is somewhat similar to Ayat-Ayat Cinta, another Indonesian film but it is worth watching. Portraying a heavy context of love in the Islamic way. I like the part where the heroin gives out her 'syarat2' in order to accept a proposal. A lawyer friend of mine once told me that it is a trend nowadays in Malaysia for a woman to get hold of a written do's and don'ts before agreeing on a marriage. Well, i guessed its proven in the hadith since long time ago!

On a different note, i've indulged myself with my first ever ( which so happen to be the latest one in store ;p) Ipod Shuffle 4th generation. A pink one ( as most of you must've expected!:P).

I'll write a review on it when the time comes ( err..one thing is that they don't have a tiny casing hence the pouch! Sayang la if scratch...).Couldn't be more happier since this is my first time having one. Little brother is going Ga Ga on Ipad now while the big sister just got her hands on one very tiny little Ipod.hahaha... well, better late than never!
