Sports Carnival

The past one whole week had certainly been super busy for me. I had started my current posting in A & E and this is our only 2 weeks here for all our 3 clinical years. Not fair. I want more :p. Although i can't feel the adrenalin-rush just like in dramas or movies but i find the cases very interesting mostly and we constantly have something new to learn about. Of course, there are times when the whole department is quite quiet except for the green zone, but that is of course a good sign too because it means that at least there are no major accidents or any traumas around.

So, i had wanted to update about the Sports Carnival in my uni last Sat but did not have time to do it till today. In fact, i think the main aim is for everyone to put aside their books for a day, come together and have some fun playing sports. There were four types of sports played between groups on that day; Captain Ball, basketball, futsal and badminton.

Guess which event did my group won? (try guessing b4 you scroll down. ans at the bottom) hehe..

This says it all.. the MOST AWAITED Sports Carnival :p

Medals to those who made their group proud :)

At the end of the day, we were all tired. My muscles began to ache and i could had slept through the whole evening to the next morning. But, i had my share of fun during the event.

It felt good to sweat it out. :)

Sarah Brightman Is Amazing

I know i don't have to repeat what an amazing soprano/singer she is. I was doing my long overdue CWU and i was listening to all these amazing Sarah Brightman songs on Youtube. Of course, i loves the musical Phamtom of the Opera and she as the original 'Christine'. It's not that Emmy Rossum is terrible, but i love Sarah Brightman better. She is just so elegant, classy, beautiful and have such an angelic voice. I know she is coming to KL but her tickets are way too expensive. Gosh. Why don't anyone give out free tickets of Sarah Brightman to be won like when Rihanna supposedly came, Hitz had these tickets giveaway daily. hehe..

Anyway, enjoy Sarah Brightman. These are just some of my favs. (except the last video was Emmy Rossum just for comparison :p ). Love the 2nd video. It's an anime actually. So sweet. Dedicated for you, DD ..hehe =)

Murni @ SS2

This is yet another overdue post from my Valentine's weekend in KL. Been pretty busy these few days despite my afternoon classes all being canceled for the past 3 days. :p

Couple tee.. cute anot? hahaha

One of the nights, we had a late lunch and skipped dinner so we were kinda hungry later on that night. So, me, DD, his bro and W went to one of the most popular and populated mamak in KL, SS 2 to be exact, Mamak Murni for supper. We went there a few times before but yet, i had never tried their Napoleon fried rice which my friend told me is a must try. Hmph.

I'm sure Murni is not a non familiar name among the KL-ian but for ppl outside KL, you may consider giving it a visit if you are looking for a mamak in KL. This is one of my fav mamak in KL also because of the varieties and special mamak food they offer. The owner of Murni is not a mamak to be exact, he is actually from Peranakan descendant. For me personally, the food tasted good as well. The prices are not exactly cheap for mamak but yet cheaper than what you get at restaurants outside. Besides the usual mamak food, they also have things like meatballs, carbonara, spaghetti and claypot lao shu fen. Even their 'rotis' are modified; they have their very own roti Hawaii, roti Bacon etc.

This place is usually fully packed with youngster hanging out during the weekend. Their tables and chairs can extend all the way from one end of a row of shophouse to the other end. No kidding.

I Love You - my fav drink at Murni. A mixture of ribena, 100 plus, longans and a slice of lemon

Maryland fried rice - fusion of normal mamak fried rice and Maryland chicken chop

Roti Hawaii- roti canai with mince chicken, pineapples and sausages as the filling and mayo over it

Pizza 'Gredging' - this funny shape pastry with bolognese sauce, like a 10x magnified currypuff

It is actually filled with mince meat, eggs, hams, sausages, cheese.. yum :)

Meatballs!

Cheese naan that took forever to come.. this is the only thing that i felt the one at Steven's Corner tasted better :p

Eating this kinda food for supper is absolutely sinful. haha. But it's better than having so few mamak in KT. Arh, miss hanging out at mamak. :)

Valentine's Dinner @ Hajime

Valentine's Day is over, or maybe not for some. Every other day can be Valentine's Day for a couple. :p. I was in KL over the weekend and you can practically feel love in the air everywhere you go.

Sometimes i felt Valentine's Day is totally overrated. Flowers prices especially usually shot up 3 or 4 folds at least. Many people usually asks why do we need to wait till Valentine's to give flowers, chocs, gifts etc when we know that prices of these stuff are definitely going to increase. For me personally, i think Valentine's Day is a day to show your love, not only to your lover, but also to everyone else that you love, like your family and friends. For lovers, you just want to be reminded how much you love each other and giving gifts are only because you want to show appreciation and to pampered your other half. Sometimes as we get more busy with work or with our life, it is a time to at least put aside everything else and just spend time with each other. Flowers are romantic and i know i'm always happy if i got to received a stalk of flower on this day. hehe. You don't necessary have to spend a bomb on flowers too because i think even hand-made flowers are meaningful and romantic. Nonetheless, i do not think that gifts and flowers are absolute necessary on this day, as long as you get to spend time with each other, had fun, do something memorable or go for a meal is good enough.

But my lovely DD still got me a bouquet of flower. They are not roses however. A unique selection for Valentine's Day. haha

My fav sunflowers to brighten up any gloomy day :)

We went to Hajime for our Valentine's dinner. :)

Hajime Japanese Restaurant

Hajime is actually a refurbished double storey bungalow house with spacious car park. I was really excited to dine there as i had heard very good review about the place and if the season is right, they will have pufferfish (fugu) too. Pufferfish are rarely available everywhere in Malaysia and only profesionally trained and highly specialized chef are licenced to prepare them as pufferfish can be deadly if not handle skillfully.

The pufferfish logo of Hajime that you can't miss

Both the exterior and interior of the restaurant are very pleasing. The interior is divided into 2 sections, one with tatami-style seating and the other with conventional tables and chairs. We had reserevd the tatami-style because i like the idea of enjoying Japanese food the Japanese style. With yellow lighting and wooden furnishes of different sorts, it gives off a very cosy and classy feeling.

The conventional chairs and tables. If you like, you can even take a seat at the sushi bar and chat with the friendly chefs.

Their menus are seasonal, and they are not the same each and every time. So, we take delight in selecting the chefs special for this season. Fugu are not available as they are only available from December to January or up till early February.

Complimetary appetizer with heart shape tamago

Their service is excellent, the staffs are friendly and nice and wthin minutes, the food are served. The food are superior and fresh and these are the food we ordered for the night :

Special salmon miso soup. Skip the normal miso soup and try this brilliant combination of salmon in the usual miso. Instead of the very salty tasting miso, this is actually sweet and salty to perfection

Bikkuri maki - combination of fresh salmon with cheese and bonito is awesome. Dip them with some wasabi and the taste is thrilling

Black spider- crispy soft shell crab with caviar. This is one of the best sushi i had eaten and i really like the genius combination of caviar

Hajime Lady Set- the portions are indeed small but the whole set will be very filling for a lady to finish it all up by herself. :p. The set consist of a fried dish (depending on the chef preference of the day, we got tempuras that night), fresh sashimis, sushi rolls, salad, unagi stick, a steam dish (mainly fish) , and chawan mushi. The texture of the eggs are so smooth and it melts directly in the mouth. I had not eaten such fantastic chawan mushi in such a long time. And i must say their sashimis are very fresh because for someone who don't really have a penchant for raw food like me, if they are not fresh enough, i will definitely throw up

Hotatei Ninniku- Grilled scallop with cheese. Another genius combinaton. One of my fav dish of the night too. The scallops are grilled just right that the juiciness is maintained while the cheese melts perfectly over them.

Hot Inaniwa Udon. The hot ones are served with tempura flakes and chilli powder while the cold ones will be served with dashi sauce which you can dip your noodles in before slurping them

Kuzukiri- a dessert of jelly-like noodle sprinkled with chestnut powder, gula melaka and gold leaf

Azuki macha (red bean with green tea) ice cream- this is also complimentary to all ladies that night. Actually, there are other selection of ice creams but we choosed this as it is my fav. Honestly, this is one dessert that can never beat the ones i tried in Tokyo. And because i had tried better ones in Tokyo, i think this is so-so only

After we finished all our main dishes, we had to wait a while for dessert, so me and DD played around with the camera with our silly poses. hehe

ouch ouch..DD bully me :(

Hmph..dare to pinch my cheek just now...now you know...:p..haha

The rope-like entrance of Hajime

Overall, i really like the place and i think their food are marvelous. The prices are a little expensive, but it's a pleasant place for dining out occasionally. I surely like to go back for a second visit someday, maybe when it is the fugu season. haha :)
