it has been awhile since i updated my bloggie...
third week of surgery posting has just ended with a flurry of case reports, case summaries to hand up.
surgery posting is so different from fam med. lots more independent learning and going to wards and doing on-calls. definitely much more hectic.
got the opportunity to go to OT and also watch endoscopies.
and i MUST fall sick in every posting. this time was worst than the last :(
had fever, sore throat, running/blocked nose and cough. was so tired last thursday, i skipped OT session and went back to rest for and hour plus before the afternoon class. and mummy being mummy came down all the way to seremban to cook porridge for me and to take care of me. so sweet~
luckily the fever lasted only one day and now i'm just having cough, and lots of phlegm.
and sue wen got infected also . so sorry gurl! >.< hope you get well soon!
I'll try not to let my blog die...so expect some post later...my sister's birthday and a food review on Tony Roma's and also a new eating place in seremban...and a new friend. mus-mus. more later!

cinnamon roll
another recipe!
this time is CINNAMON ROLLS!!! perfect for a tea-time treat. i always get very happy when mummy decides to make this (usually on a sunday :))
(i foresee that i won't be able to post up much stuff for the next 7 weeks due to the hectic surgery time table, so i will compensate now)
mix the flour, salt, sugar, yeast
put the dry ingredients, butter (cubed) and eggs into a food processor (that kneads the dough) cos it will be difficult to knead it manually (lazy ppl :P)
add the milk bit by bit, don't have to use all. the dough might be a little sticky
let it run till all the ingredients are well mixed
this is the dough! use some flour if its too sticky. dough should be smooth.
knead the dough for awhile.. and let it "rest" for 15 minutes
using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to form a rectangle
prepare the topping: brown sugar and cinnamon powder. for chocolate flavour, sift in some cocoa powder as well. sift all the topping on the dough.

believe it or not the recipe is actually written in this tattered book, its actually a manual for a bread maker machine that we don't use anymore. anyway...mummy repaired it after that. :)
so, lets start...
ingredients:
300g high protein flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp yeast
60ml milk
60g butter
50g sugar
2 eggs
filling:
60g butter
50g brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon powder
measure out all the ingredients
mix the flour, salt, sugar, yeast
put the dry ingredients, butter (cubed) and eggs into a food processor (that kneads the dough) cos it will be difficult to knead it manually (lazy ppl :P)
add the milk bit by bit, don't have to use all. the dough might be a little stickylet it run till all the ingredients are well mixed
this is the dough! use some flour if its too sticky. dough should be smooth.
knead the dough for awhile.. and let it "rest" for 15 minutes
using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to form a rectangle
prepare the topping: brown sugar and cinnamon powder. for chocolate flavour, sift in some cocoa powder as well. sift all the topping on the dough.place small chunks of butter on the dough
sprinkle chocolate chips
sprinkle chocolate chipsother varieties: leave it plain, put raisins and almonds...or whatever you think would be appropriate
starting at one side, roll the dough (like rolling sushi)
and seal the ends (can use a little plain water)
cut it into equal portions
place on a baking tray. allow it to "proof" (rise) for 45 minutes. cover it with a cloth so that it won't get dry.

pancakes
A recipe for yummy breakfast. warning: sinfully rich but absolutely satisfying! :)
this recipe is actually from a Kemahiran Hidup (home science) text book. hehe
ingredients:
125g all purpose flour
30g fine sugar
30g butter
125ml milk
1/2 tsp cream of Tatar
1/2 tsp sodium bicarbonate
1 egg
step 1: sift flour, sodium bicarb and cream of Tatar together. add in butter (cubed) and mix it with your fingers till it form "bread crumbs", mix in the sugar
step2: make a well and crack the egg. and add the milk
step3: stir till its well mixed. batter will still be lumpy. strain it through a sift so it will be smoother.
step4:heat a frying pan (preferably non stick) add some butter and spoon some batter. wait till you see teeny bubbles forming and breaking, then flip the pancake over. be careful not to let it burn! use medium-low heat.repeat till all batter is used up.
place 2 sliced strawberries on a pancake.add choc chips and almonds. repeat and stack it up. add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. add two whole strawberries and one corner (to get the fan shaped strawberries, slice the berries 3/4 and spread it out. be careful!) sprinkle more almonds and choc chips and then drizzle chocolate syrup!

my room!! ^-^
it has been THREE whole weeks since i updated my blog. sorry to all my readers who clicked on my blog to keep finding the same old thing...
My family medicine posting just ended this week..and i definitely learnt ALOT of things, not just factual stuff but also the importance of becoming a good and COMPETENT doctor in the future..
so this weekend is for me to recuperate and get all the sleep i want cos my next posting will be SURGERY!!! much tougher, of course...
expect an avalanche of posts :)
ok, here is some photos of my (master) bedroom in seremban that i share with my sister. even though its the master bedroom, its still kind of on the small side :( the toilet takes up lots of space already. and once i open the foldable table (my study table) there is hardly any space to walk. well, besides that its ok...
yeah! and a TV in my room. can be distracting at times too...
a narrow passageway. somehow, it reminds me a little of a hotel room.
and something personalized, i actually got the idea from ellice!! took a couple of nice photos and "blu-tacked" it on the side of the wardrobe :) makes me smile when i see it and sometimes make me wish i could go back in time...
