Greetings from Berlin.

Today is the last day of 2009, and in fact it is the last moment of 2009, we are welcoming 2010 and I am in Berlin, capital of Germany.

There are so much things to ponder about 2009, but all the things that happen in 2009 made me a stronger person. I've been traveling lately and will be spending my new year in Berlin, in a small town Falkensee which is located in the west Berlin.

I'll update more soon and Happy new year guys. 2010 is a year full of changes and challenge. Hopefully all of us will overcome all challenge in life and learn to be a better person.

Today is Christmas Eve

I seldom post anything emotional/ unhappy in these blog mainly because after 30 years, what I would want myself to read is just those happy memories. Those memories that were sad, I would hope just to throw it down the drain and never ever wanted to remember it.

But for today, I just felt like I've been through the worst Christmas eve ever in my life.I am in the point of my life that nothing could ever cheer me up. I knew that someone out there is trying his very best to cheer me up be yet failed.

I am going through the time of my life whereby when you eat you couldn't even feel the taste of your food, when you watch a movie, no matter how fantastic the plot is it you just couldn't bear to watch another minute more. Even my favorite thing to spent time onlining browsing through all the online shopping cloths could not cheer me up. I don't know what the hell had happen to me and I really don't feel like spending my last few days of 2009 in this manner.

Oh well, everything has an exception. This is the first exception that this piece of feeling I will be reading 50 years later and I would just remember the worst Christmas eve of 2009.

That's Part I of my Birthday and here's part II

First of all I would like to apologize for the sparse update here. So today I'll be talking about the party part.

So it was a small little party held very much earlier than the exact date. My birthday was on the 10th of Dec but because initially there was HOW on the 13th so it was brought forward on the 6th Dec which was the exact day when my dad celebrate his birthday.

Because  there is no venue and it's freaking winter so it is not suitable to have it in the common hall, it is such a torture to eat and freeze at the same time. So for this year I cut down the amount of guest. I just invited my group mates and their spouse, but it was fun enough. Why? cox my group mates are a bunch of amazing people. They can argue debate over the stupidest thing on earth, but it was hilarious.

Sneak peak of the food:

Chicken Satay that I made. Of course it is not as nice as the one you get in Malaysia

Nasi Impit going together with the kuah Kacang and cucumber.

All the other food: Stewed duck by Jesse and KW, Fried chicken by Adrian, Apple pie by Pappathy, "Ribena" by Jeffrey, Spicy stew pork by Sook Yin and WJ, Mutton curry by Joyce and SH and Satay by me and JU.

Thanks everyone for the effort cooking,

So after dinner we played some games. This is one of the "pak chi" games that we played often in our parties.

Here's everyone writing some punishment. Punishment can range from pole dancing with the fan till .... whatever that you can think of.

Here's how the game goes. Everyone was give one poker card , once you open the card you should place it on your head. The whole intention is to cheat your opponents so that they believe you that they got the smallest number and they will add cards.

The guy who got the smallest number will be punished.

for example if you got a 1 and you add a card and got a K that means you are still the smallest among the bunch. K = 0 that means your number still 1.

Get the picture?

Then we continue till around 10 pm, everyone with a bloated stomach went back because the 2nd day we still have OnG cycle.

So, that was my Last Birthday celebration in Ukraine and it will be a memory for life.

Little update for you guys.

Many things had happen lately but the best part is I am old.wtf

First of all and also the main reason I am sitting here so free typing this blog is because HOW workshop was canceled AGAIN. Initially it was supposed to be on the 23 of Nov . Then, due to H1N1, it was postponed till 13th of Dec. Yesterday I was still thinking about any possible situation that will happen tomorrow e.g: The projector burned half way, suddenly the lecture hall ran out of electricity, the whole building collapse, snowstorm tomorrow etc , but never ever ever think that it will be canceled AGAIN.

I thought, I can quit once and for all after 13th of Dec but now... it will continue to haunt me for the rest of my life wtf. You can't imagine how stressful to handle this and how many sleepless night I spent just to prepare the best on this particular day, and not to mention how to prepare myself mentally to cope with all the critics I will received, and all this will just continue to haunt me until god knows when.

Okay enough of rants

I celebrated my birthday. There were no big big celebration though it was my last birthday here but it was sweet and I am happy. Here are some pictures to share.

Fully surprised. ^ ^

Walau-eh, very bo-shong lo. But nevertheless, one week pass and I finish my Pediatrics exam and now O&G to go. Woo hooo...

To decrease your stress level here are some pictures for you:

Skin breakdown

Oh help! I am having a breakdown now. Not emotional but a freaking skin breakdown. Skin breakdown is usually non fatal but for me it's fatal. WTH happen to me.

Anyway it all started like this. I have this stupid stubborn whiteheads on my left cheek in Malaysia, so I tried to force it out with my itchy hand. Hence the word stubborn, I forced and forced until my left cheek has a big juicy bruise yet that stupid a**** stubborn white head just would not come out. Totally defended, I decided to give up.

My mom saw that hematoma on my cheek and even laugh at me. Not quietly secretly laugh that kind you know, but burst into laughter that kind. So cruel. Anyway, the hematoma start to take it's own sweet time to resolve leaving my left cheek a big fat ugly scar dark pigmentation. Sigh, why on earth pigmentation,the blardy pigmentation is so dark that sometimes people mistaken it as a mole. WTH!

 I was too bored stuck in my 12x12 inch small room day and night so I decided to give it a another try. This time finally I managed to force it out but the side effects is the blardy hematoma followed by the dark pigmentation pseudomole again. Why on earth this torturing process have to repeat once again.

To spice things up,this time it is accompanied by never stopping of pimples popping and a allergy dried cracked lips.Shit. The pimples are so annoying that I need TWO BIG DROPS of Bodyshop tea tree oil every day and night to have a full coverage of all those freaking pimples. Gosh, am I going through secondary puberty or what. Then why only this stupid acne part of the whole puberty thing I am going through? I thought puberty should be accompanied with growing taller/ breast growing bigger? Grrr..

Pimples pimples please go away. Go away fast. I have no more energy to play with you. T_T.

Next post I will be talking about something happy I hope. Maybe sharing with you guys my star buy. Till then see ya!

Yong Tau Fu Recipe

I guess for those in Malaysia would think that this is an just another ordinary dish but for us in overseas, you are so wrong, so so wrong.When you are homesick and things, when outside is snowy and below chilly, all you wanted is just some steamy hot home cooked Malaysian food .

So today I'll be sharing on how to made homemade Yong Tau Fu ala Ukraine style. In Malaysia, if you want to make this dish, the method is a bit different, actually in not the method but is the fish you use is different. Anyway, to cut things short, this is the recipe.

Credits to Sook Yin, the fishball chopper. I modified this recipe from her. Without her, it is impossible to make fishball here using frozen fish.

Ingredients :
1kg of frozen fish fillet
300g if minced pork, preferably with small amount of lard
Small amount of corn flour
Salt water. ( Salt + water)
Chilies
Chinese mushroom
Brinjals
Capsicum  

**** and anything else you can find in your overseas market that is able to be stuffed****



For the fishball
1)Wash and clean the frozen fish fillet , chop the fish fillet as if you are chopping your enemy. While you chop sprinkle corn flour and salt water to the fish fillet. Chop until the fish is completely minced and turns into a sticky consistency/ stick on your knives.

2) Then proceed to mince the meat. You may ask your butcher to minced it for you but i prefer to mince it myself. After that, combine the mince fish and meat, continue to mince it until it is well mixed.

For The veggies
1) Deseed the chili. Use the sharp end of your knife draw a line in the middle of the chili and remove the seeds. Keep the green stem or else the fish ball will drop out when you fry it later. Stuffed the fish ball inside and make sure it is compact.

2)Cut the brinjal into 2cm chunk.Then divide the 2cm chunk into half but leaving it intact so that you can stuff the fishball into the brinjal. "Like a sandwich"

3) Clean the Chinese mushroom and you may like to boil it to soften it first.Then remove the mushroom stem and stuff the fishball into the mushroom "head". Hopefully you guys understand what I am trying to describe here.

4) For the Capsicum, it's actually the same as the chili.

Steps:
1) Fry the stuffed veggies in medium heat until  golden brown.
2) Then steam all the fried stuffed veggies until all the stuffed fish ball is totally cooked.
3) You can boil chicken stock to have it together with the yong tau fu, but I like the dry version. So the steam gravy shall do the good work.
4) Take 2tsp of Lee Kum Kee's Hoisin sauce and add 1 cup of water to it. Bring the gravy to boil. Add in "chicken rice chili paste" and some sesame oil.

Chicken rice chili paste : Just blend red chili, ginger, garlic and add vinegar.

5) Serve hot with white rice and this make a delicious scrumptious meal.

Have fun trying. :)

A new start perhaps.

Reading back my last few posts, and realized that I am rather pessimistic for the past 2 weeks ever since this whole holiday quarantine thing being implemented, tomorrow is a new week, so perhaps a new start.It is also the last week of holiday quarantine.

I am always like that , always self contradicting. When got class, I wish that there is some kind of things such as hospital on fire, teacher fell down, teacher fell sick, earthquake,snowstorm etc so that we can have self declared holiday. But now when in holiday, I wish that I can go back to class. Forever self contradicting.But staying in the room whole day is really torturing. Self contradicting lalala.

Anyway, I've changed my blog layout.Actually it all started with me staring at the old blog title and thinks that it is so lame the have this " Whatever to crap about" as a blog title so I decided to Google some interesting blog title because of the long holiday I can't even think of a decent name, as a result, all I get was guidelines to think of a decent blog title, there is no blog title example that I can copy. ***Stumping leg like a big fat baby***

So giving up, I decided to browse through blogs hoping that something can pop into my mind or something can inspire me to think of a nice blog title. So as I press next and next button in blogspot.com, I found out that what for crack my useless brain thinking of a blog title , use wenming1024 and maybe one day end up can get copyright for it . So there goes wenming1024. Actually I want to use wenming but this name was taken in blogspot.wenming too common already. Never mind, next time when I got $$ I buy my own domain.

So wenming1024  was decided, but it looked utterly ugly in the old blog layout, so not to sacrifice wenming1024, I decided to change the blog layout. Browsing through blog templates, I found this cute blog templete.Excuse me because I am seriously hopeless when it comes to HTML formatting although I was thought in sec school before. Very many years back, totally forgotten already.

So, tadaa, this new fresh very pink and cute look. What do you think?

Another week flew by

Another week flew by yet me being the same old me is still in the same routine. Wake up -- play computer--- sleep.

What a boring life, but it wouldn't last long because holidays/quarantine is gonna end soon. FML.

There goes all my weekends. Double depression.


Anyway.I ran out of things to update. My life is too freaking boring. I didn't step out of my hostel for 5 freaking days.

Any suggestions people?

P/s: Now I can even have a new label "Freaking boring mood"

Quarantine sucks big time

Because of this quarantine I:

1) Lost around RM 700 plus in air tickets, accommodation booking my trip to Germany. According to some people, winter holidays was canceled so I went and canceled my air ticket booking and accommodation, 1 day later, they said winter holiday is still on. *speechless*Please lahz don't spread rumors around if you are not confirm, can kill people you know!!!! Anyway I had cancel everything, who ask me to have so much money to waste/damn efficient/ damn stupid not to walk myself to dekanat to clarify. All my fault !!!

2)To have some workshop thingy running on my birthday week and to spice things up on the same week I have O&G exam.

3) Was stuck in the room 3 weeks so far not knowing what to do.

4) Watched series till my eyes nearly popped out.

5) Had a b-lardy gloomy mood for the entire week.

6) Went through all this torture only to find out that this"good-for-your-own-health- quarantine/holiday-thing-was-just-a-political-tactic-for-those-dumbass-political-party-to-win-the-next-election."

The thing is I don't bother to care whether you win or not but please don't sacrifice other people happiness/precious time for your own need. Damn selfish you know!!!

Now I am in debt of around 15 days classes to rework and I need to SACRIFICE all my weekend reworking/taking pediatrics exam. FML.

Something to share..

Monday "blues"

Not "blues" actually because I have no class and of course I am not working yet. Anyway I kinda slack off my Monday.

I woke up at around 10 am, prepared breakfast for Mr.T and I indulge into my series while having my brunch. At first I thought of watching only one episode but I just couldn't resist the temptation.

So episodes after episodes, I marathon till 5 pm until it's time to cook. After cooking, I hooked up online till now .

Surprisingly hostel was kind of quiet today despite it was a "holiday" . It sounds weird but anyway it doesn't bother me much either. People are flocking back to Malaysia leaving this entire place even more quieter and creepier. Quote from Adrian" Zombieland" I wonder he transformed into a zombie/mushroom already or not, whole day appearing away in his msn status.

Oh gosh, life could be so meaningless but I kinda enjoy it.At least I finished watching all the bak chi videos Jeff send me about headphones/ballisongs/wine barrel/how to use a knife/ how to make your knife extremely sharp etc etc which I supposed to watch a zillion years ago but too busy to do so.

Someone please slap me. I am forever self - contradicting .

Actually I have a gazillion things to do but I just can't get my butt moving. Nevermind, there are still 20 days..

Mr T. playing boring games in FB. Shooting mouse is his new hobby lalalala..

Look How I've abandoned my blog.

Sorry guys, for the long hiatus. Guess it was 2 weeks right? Well, I've been extremely busy these 2 weeks with the ongoing group discussion for Medicine Team. The group discussion outcome was better than what I've expected. Good job everyone!!!

Well, now I am so free sitting here relaxing typing this post is because the workshop that should be on 21-22nd of November was on hold. Why? I shall explain later. Remember? I got plenty of time.

Ukraine had the 1st case of H1N1 and it spread faster than it should be. Because of this, we had a 3 weeks holidays. No no no, actually it isn't holiday it's quarantine. We are not suppose to leave Simferopol and was not supposed to have any mass gathering. And it isn't a happy holiday either, we have to "pay back" this holiday in the future using weekends and maybe also our winter holidays.

Rumors spreading saying that Ukraine had these H1N1 mutated strain which presented 28,000 of Ukraine population with flu-like symptoms and around 14 had died due to the bilateral pneumonia. Shit, does this term even exist??? Then according to Ukraine news, 3 regions was closed down, and there are "special regime" to contained the population moving from 1 region to another.

Well, Ukraine being overreacted on this matter on the other hand was being laughed by other countries saying that " it was the most thoughest measure to combat flu in the entire Europe."

For further info read here .


That means, no more weekends after 3 weeks and probably no more winter holidays. Damn, I've book my vacation. shit. shit. shit.How now?

Anyway, on the bright side, I've plenty of time until I don't know what to do in the room but since the weather so cold and once I ever step out the hostel, I'll get a fantastic headache thanks to the good weather. So having this holiday probably is a good thing too.Contradicting myself here.


Anyway, people please take good care of yourself and wipe Oxalin Oil around your nostril before you go out. To group 630 we shall not be afraid right because we have a slightly higher level of Ig because almost everyone of us were exposed to flu virus for the past 1 month, but of course not H1N1 la. Normal flu only.

You'll probably be reading further post about me ranting being too bored in the room or blaaa blaa blaaaa..... now what should I do next?

A little update of my life here

First of all, It's my last autumn here is Ukraine.

Then, I finally ended my torturous surgery cycle which is a good thing.

Then I am damn shit busy this month due to CSMU HOW workshop that is going to be on mid November. Have to coach the presenters, the slides, the notes, the e-books.Arrrghhhhh!!! I am going crazy.

Then I am fighting with the forever increasing price of air-ticket. Thought of visiting Germany but have to get my parents approval first, then have to book and research of train and flights there. Haih, Euro forever increasing somemore.

Then today is Deepavali, half of my friends went for holidays.Didn't got to go because I have to prepare the notes for group discussion on Monday. Double duble triple sighs.



............ don't know what some more. I am so sleepy always.crap!

I should be studying instead of blogging.

I should be seriously studying instead of blogging. But I have no mood to do so?
Why blame the weather. Oh yeah right, I've been always blaming the weather.

It's autumn here. Oh man i really hate autumn and my classmates are down with influenza. Now we don't know who is the source of infection but i guess it's highly possible me. I've been getting this chronic influenza ( duh, does this even exist??never mind, CSMU standard is like that wan lahz) anyway what I am trying to mean here is Influenza on and off since Malaysia. Possibly due to remission and acute exacerbation of some atypical strain of virus or reinfection from my fellow classmates. Now my blardy throat is sore again.FML.

Back to Proctology. Stupid backside can have so many disease wan!!!

Red Cave Trip.

One fine sunny day in conjunction with Hari Raya and Ivan's birthday, a bunch of Malaysians decided to have a day trip to Red Cave.

Just a friendly reminder that this post contains lot's of picture, so much that it might flood your brain resulting you dreaming of me during your sleep at night.

The Red cave is located around 20 km outskirt from Simferopol, and the attraction is not the cave but the scenery. It's full with greenery and I can just feel the fresh air coming from all directions which is associated with a bit of cow/horse/camel dung smell.

You can just take a bus aka marshutka to the Red cave and it cost you about 3 grvn. Then you'll have to walk around 30 mins journey into the main entrance.

Here's me ...doing the 30 mins walk to the entrance
This is the scenery. Damn nice country side scenery.
The dungs that spoil my fresh air.
Because of all this picture, the initially 30 mins trip took us around 1 hour to reach.
This is a pic I edited with my amateur photo shop editing skills.
On the way, we saw this. See I told you the scenery is splendid.
Group 630 people that attended.
The guys.
A cute poney.
The camel.I think it's betina cause from the act I guess it is feeding milk. Muahaha use your imagination.
Trying to be funny, hence proven why so long we haven't reach the peak/waterfall spot.
Taking photos randomly.

Decided to quit walking and took a train instead.
The train turned out to be even more exciting than walking.
It's "roller coaster" train.
Finally we reached our picnic area.
The waterfall.

I am in charge of salad. So this is me preparing it.

Other food.:) Yummy.
See the waterfall, nice rite?

Other Random pictures..
The entrance to the Red Cave
I'll leave this two pictures for your imagination.:)

Are you tired of the photos already? There are more to come...
On the way down.

This is the toilet qualified for the world smelliest toilet.It's literally a hole with zillion of urine and shit in it. Imagine..
There is also a fake pyramid..

This shall put a full stop to this post.
Hope you guys enjoyed.
