Happy Chinese New Year to all!

This year is the year of RAT (or hamster to for some people). I'm waiting for my year to come. I was born in 1987, so try figure out what animal year it is. That's a little assigment for you! hehe..

On CNY day, my family and I went out for lunch at Hilton Kuching, which is a tradition before I go back to college. Plus, that day was the only day that all of us got to seat together before my dad left for his expedition to Bario ( I swear he is a Malay version of Indiana Jones..LoL!)

Lucky for us, the restaurant was having International Buffet for this month. That means there were variety of food from Italian to Japanese cuisine! Nyum nyum....

So lets start with the FIRST round..... *ding ding!*

nasi tomato with other food that I coudnt pronounce...hehe...

Second round....*ding ding!*

actually it was not for me but for the little kiddies...

MY second round *ding ding!*

Second and a half round...*ding ding!*

phew....now..for the third round..*ding di...argh just forget the bells*

what's a brulee you say? it is a desert..in this case.. chocolate topped with burned sugar

*drool...and drool some more*

Forth round...man, i'm getting tired...

my disastrous creation...

my niece enjoying her ice-cream ( right before she vomited her lunch... I pity the waiters had to clean it up..hoho)

Hope you guys enjoy the pictures and PLEASE wipe your saliva off the keyboard already!

Holiday!

2008-01-31T10:07:00.000-08:00

Greetings.....

I've been home for holiday since last Saturday. All the free time are filled with sleeping, you-tubing, searching for oreo cheesecake recipe and more sleeping.

After another failed attempt to start studying for my exam, I tried photo-shopin' some stuff.

So, these are the outcome of my boredom....at 2 o clock in the morning......

Spooky me....Ava Vamp....without the fangs....

Planet Hell ....inspired by Nightwish's song

Not as doomy as I imagined...might re-create it some other time.

This is my backyard...

Hey y'all,

How was your weekend? My weekend went like this :

Sleep...youtube...laundry...sleep...eat choc muffin...sleep....more laundry...

By 6 pm Sunday, I decided that I GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE. So I went out and explore my backyard.

Can see the Putrajaya from here..

Spaceship? Hehe..Its Putrajaya International Convention Centre.

I can't wait to go back to Kuching next week for holiday. Yey!

More updates later =)

Myspace Madness

"You won't be the only one with a hot myspace photo and 300 million views this summer, Potta!!! *spit~*

I laughed so hard at this picture.
This picture is taken from Joey-KingOfHearts. Check out his art works and cosplay.

By the way, he makes an excellent Draco Malfoy!

Mindmaps

2008-01-18T09:01:00.000-08:00

Some of my friends asked me to teach them how to do mind map but honestly, i'm still learning it too. I use mind map for practically every subject that i learn in med school.

These are the reasons why I like to mind map:

1) I can listen to music while at it.

2) Reading the text books is boring...i have to do something with my hands.

3) I remember facts better. ( yeah..rite....hmmmm)

4) I can be creative (ngeh...)

5) Excellent for last minute revision. (typical college student...muehehehe)

So here are some of my mind maps. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures ( and my bad handwriting..LoL!)

Physiology of taste

-my poor attempt to copy Rolling Stone's logo-

The Limbic System (emotions)

I'll post step-by-step tutorial on how to mind-mapping if there is any request for it.

-Have a nice weekend!-

My Bloody Cover

2008-01-11T10:53:00.000-08:00

Hye, it's been a while since i last updated this blog.
It's not too late to wish you guys Happy New Year (both in general and Muslim Calendar)
Anyway, i just want to show you the front cover I did for my Haematology Folio.

(simple cover : Photoshop CS + Bloody Brushes)

What is haematology, you say? It is.... *quickly refer to lecture notes*... the study of blood in health and disease. I'm not gonna bore you with the details but feel free to ask me anything regarding blood-related diseases.

p.s: I'm a full time art enthusiast....part time medical student..LoL!

Merry Christmas

2007-12-24T18:30:00.000-08:00

Though Im not celebrating this occasion, but when its 25th December, i just have to watch this version of 12 Days of Christmas by Janice Dickinson. You may remember her as the over-botoxed judge in top model. This song is hillarious!

Sweeney Todd ...not your normal everyday barber...

2007-12-15T23:14:00.000-08:00

Johnny Depp is BACK with yet another collaboration with the wicked Tim Burton ( the creator of Edward Scissorhand , Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride). The title of the movie is Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
I screamed like a typical fan-girl when I saw the trailer in youtube. The movie looks good (and GRUESOME!) and not to mention some casts from Harry Potter are in it to. You may recognize Alan Rickman (slimy..greasy Snape), and Helen Bonham Carter ( the evil Bellatrix). All these make this movie a must watch movie before the end of 2007. I’m sooooo gonna watch this as soon as it premiers here.

Top 5 reasons to go and watch Sweeney Todd:

5- Amazing storyline with great casts

4- Great soundtracts and graphics

3-Johnny Depp

2-Johnny Depp

1-Johnny Depp

Did I mention that Johnny Depp is the star of the movie?! Hehe..

Check out the official website for more info..plus cool downloads. http://www.sweeneytoddmovie.com/

Share with me your thoughts about the movie =)

Grilled Cheese Goodness

2007-12-08T05:16:00.000-08:00

Hey there earthlings,

Today I am proud to say that I made my own dinner; Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Considering how incompetence I am in the cooking area, I felt excited at my own creation. LoL! I made it using the most popular method among the college students in the USA which is fool proof! If I can do it…so can YOU!

First, the ingredients…

Aluminum fold, 2 pieces of bread, butter and of the most important ingredient of all
the CHEESE...nyum!

Spread the butter on the breads and place the cheese like so…..

Then wrap the sandwich with the aluminum fold.

Then here comes the tricky bit. Place the wrapped sandwich under a hot iron. Yes, you read it right. Its your normal everyday iron. Set it on the hottest setting then place it on top of the sandwich. Please dont ask me if you can use steam iron.
*roll eyes* Hehe....

Let it slowly 'cooks' your sandwich for about 5 minutes for each side.
Be careful when touching the hot aluminum.
Now we wait.....

Now, it's time to unveil our grilled cheese sandwich..

Walaaa! Behold...the magnificent sandwich! *evil laugh*

Now, just sit back...and enjoy your Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I had mine with a delicious St.Martin's Peach Tea Drink *peachy goodness*

Hope you enjoyed my so-called cooking tutorial.

Till next time =)
