First attempt to cook tomato noodles

One Sunday afternoon, I decided to cook tomato noodles for lunch with my friends at my place after learning how to cook tomato noodles from my godmother back in Kuching.


We used chicken meat


Wei Thing tried to cut the chicken meat but since I forgot to defroze it earlier, it was very hard for her to cut


To save time, I went to defroze it with the hot shower


A Dietitian, a food science expert and a pharmacist were trying to start to cook the sauce for the tomato noodles.


We fried the onions with the chicken meat and oyster sauce


Then, we added tomato sauce diluted with water and sugar


Last but not least, we added starch


Happy faces while cooking


We bought the crispy noodles

Kuok Foundation Get Together 2010

Kuok Foundation, which was founded by Robert Kuok held a Get Together Lunch Buffet for all the awardees at Hotel Armada, Petaling Jaya in April.


They grouped us according to our tables and we started off by playing games as an ice breaking session.


Then, Dato Ong Ka Ting who used to be an adwardee of the Kuok Foundation was invited as a guest of honor to give us a speech.


We started our lunch buffet after the speech.


When I ate the bread pudding, it reminded me of Amanda Tan's bread pudding back in Kuching. I miss it.

Classical Guitar

One day back in Form 1, my friend, Audrey Ang asked me to accompany her to learn how to play a classical guitar. Since I was so free back then, I agreed with her. I went for classical guitar lessons with her for almost 2 years. We took exams together as well. Due to PMR, we both stopped learning to play a classical guitar. Last year, one of my coursemates, Sim, found out that I used to play a classical guitar and he asked me to teach him despite the fact that I told him I had forgotten on how to play a classical guitar. Since I was busy preparing for my End of System 3, I did not invite him to come to my place till few weeks ago at night. He told me he could not play (what a lie). When I played each note on the guitar and I asked him to tell me which note it was, he could answer all of them correctly. I started to doubt him for not being able to play a classical guitar at all. Yes, it was indeed a lie. haha He could play so well and he played it so much better than I could play. In the end, he entertained Nicole and I with all the romantic songs. Haha Romantic songs such as Right here waiting , Now and forever and Romance Te Amor. After that, we had free taekwando lessons from him. He looked gentle but he is a black belt master. He taught us self defence as he said girls must know how to defend themselves from danger.

Holiday Withdrawal Syndrome

I was given two months to be on a holiday mode but now, I have to switch back to a study mode. Back in high school, first day of school was a total holiday. I just had to register myself and buy the new books. Now, first day of school means first day of stress. Why? On the first day of school, I had problem based learning (PBL) at 9am to jot down all the learning issues which I have to do research on and present them this Friday. The topic was on Diabetes Insipidus. Then, I had clinical skills in the afternoon. We learned how to inspect, palpate, percuss and auscultate the thyroid gland. After that, I had to go for lectures in the evening till 630pm. I also have to take Malaysian studies for the whole semester. It is time to make notes for every lecture and memorise my notes everyday. I am doing Endocrine system now. It will be followed by Reproductive system and Renal system.
