HARI ini DALAM SEjaRAH

This is the first day in more than a year that I wake up at 7.00am..7.00AM!!! never in the MONSTER history, unless i din sleep the whole night.

Haih, seven early eight early (chi zao ba zao) have to take bus to the royal infirmary to meet my Director of Studies to get a letter of recomendation for an application of grant for.....bla bla..(a form which took me loads n loads of trouble 2 fill in and the closing date was yesterday)..

kesimpulannya have to go out early to met a doctor that I din noe how he looks like. Tall? Short? fat? thin? got mole? mata juling?

Smart of me, asked one of my favourite senior yesterday how he looked like.

Senior: hm..he is quite tall, white hair, abit big

me: fat?

senior: not fat but got abit muscle 1..

me: hmm...sort of got the picture of him in my mind
(must be something like Bill Clinton)

Reach the hospital at 7.50- batang hidung pun takda..DImana dia??

He said he is attending a meeting..hmm..so ppl shud b coming in soon..
so i waited at the patient waiting area..one by one, the doctors come in. I wanted to ask them, but...
All the doctors sort of have the same characteristics:::
1) Muka garang
2) no smile
3) walk in like wind, go out like wind. (chui fong yi lei, chui fong yi hui) Dun even have time to walk to them, they oredi gone from sight...

So many ppl walk in oredi..how come din see Bill Clinton 1??
at last, one of the friendly nurse came in and asked me: R U ALRIGHT THERE?
(typical question)

she then pointed me to the meeting room , but the meeting has already started...haih..so i waited ourside like orang bodoh la..for 1 hour..
Smarter of me, i ask the nurse to point to me which 1 is Dr Croft.

The description given by senior is so accurate, except:::
---he is 3/4 bald, so cant reeli see if he has white hair..
---he is wearing a coat, so cant see his muscles..
---the mist important point missed out: he is the only one in the room with beard..
hmm...plus my eyes are half closed, so cant reeli see his height..

but luckily, managed to get his signature but comes in a package with a small lecture: " u musn't do this again to an old man.." cos i sort of get him to write it last minute..

anyway, SETTLED!!!...happy..go back sleepppp...

on da way back, as usual, i was sleeping on the bus. as i was halfway dreaming, one crazy apek hit me on the head with newspaper..feel like punching him lo..early early smash ppl's head..siao..
but then i turn n look, he looks like the ketua kumpulan kaki buli with tatoo tatoo on the hand 1..i straight away smile n just turn around..

what a day..n it is just 9 am..

since i have no picture to put up, i shall put sum pics on manchester tripppp

KUIH KAPIT...

ONE of the things that i miss most about chinese new year is KUIH KApit...(kuei neng keng) those love letters with chocolate n strawberry flavour that are sold in the big big supermarket are still 1 level below kuih kapit made by those aunty aunty at home..without kuei neng keng, CNY memang no mood..so..hmm..after the biskut kacang, i decided to try making..haha...

annonymous: what is this medical student doing? jiak pa siu eng bo kang jo ar??noneed study ka..

me: haha..dats the thing..NONEED!!!

CNY lei..

Again, i go look for the kuih kapit recipe in one of my favourite blog makcik makcik...they never fail 2 giv me superb recipes..
MAJOR PROBLEM..kuih kapit without kapiter?

where 2 find kapiter here in uk? summore need the 1 with dragon carving 1..the only kapiter i heard of is the 1 own by my dearest fren helen ( a garfield pillow that she use 2 kapit her legs while sleeping, given the name Kapita)

takpa la..tak cuba tak tau..

first trial..
end up like pancake..super thick n super soft...as soon as the teeth in contact with the "kuih kapit gagal", can feel the kelembikan and got juice come out sumore...
NO NO NO NO NO..this is not the homely feeling kuih kapit..how 2 make it crunchy?
TING...aha..on bigger fire..

2nd try:
ou no..the outer layer hangus..inner layer lembik..n it cook before i got the time to make a circle with the batter..so end up thick oso...FAIL..

3rd try:
smaller fire..TUNGGU SAMPAI TUA...the colour remain white white, not attractive at all..lack of the outer brown layer..hmm..but roughly there, cos if cook till sunset, shud b able 2 get the crunchyness..

4th try:- SUCCESS!!!
First, remove the pan from the fire..so that the pan cool down a little..but the hob remain super hot..then one hand hold the pan, depending in which is your dominant hand. then the other hand pour in the batter..One nanosecond after you pour in, turn the pan in circular motion at a speed of 120 turns/min. This is to get a thin spread out layer. then quickly place on the hob as soon as ur turning have no effect on the batter.

peep at the bottom part of the kuih 2 get the right colour. then flip it over. as soon as flipped over, turn the fire small, to giv it time to dry up ---> CRUNCHY!!!

Then, you can either fold it into 4 (for pemalas) or roll it (which will cause loss of epithelium in short term and long term effect mayb skin cancer)

soo..i only roll enough to take this picture...

SUPERIOR PEANUT COOKIES for CHINESE NEW YEAR

BALLs AGAin!!!...I don't know whats with me n those balls..first Chicken Rice Ball, Now Peanut Cookies (bulat bulat)

ONE night when i woke up, I smell something nice...wahh..smell so homely 1..then I called my mother...She say, oh ya...She is making Peanut COOKIES...u noe, those round round cookies with a pimple on top 1...WAA...can smell from here man...Then i go out of the room, EI...MY MUM is in the kitchen with my sisters, all making peanut cookies!!! WAA...just like the good old days..I joined them n it was SUPERBLY fun...we roll n roll the balls, NO NO NO NO NO..this can't be true..I must be dreaming..

I AM INDEED DREAMING!!...

Haih..
THis reminds me of Chinese New Year..Its just around the corner...How I wish I am home..2 Years din eat Thuan Yuan Fan...how come i stil yuan yuan 1...
To bring up the CNY mood, I Decided 2 make Peanut Cookies...



I startes looking for the recipe online...Finally got it from one of the aunty aunty's blog..NO offence..It was of great help..(incase the makcik makcik decided to visit my blog..)

It was very simple but the kacau part is to remove the kacang skin..any1 knows the special way to seperate the skin from the kacang please tell me..

I even thought of using some enzyme that can make the skin soft (like what we learned in biology).When i attempt to make kacang soup, i tried boiling the kacang, but the skins are still a nuisancceeeee...

Now that i need to fry the kacang, the skin becomes brittle..which is easier to remove, but not separated. Then i remembered a song from primary school..

"Lihat jauh nun di sana tekun petani kerja,
Buah padi masak kuning istri kerja sama,
Potong memotong, membanting padinya,
bercerailah tangkai jerami..."

OOOHHH...which gave me the idea to MEMBANTING KACANG!!! since I'm from Kolej Mara Banting, shud b pro in it..

I started to banting banting banting..wuhuu..the kulit really fly out lei..just like "Kacang lupakan Kulit"...
BUT...there's always a but la..if not i won;t be blogging..

It terbang at halaju of 8 particles/min...
N there are a total of 23 x 10 kuasa 23 particles of kulit kacang-kulit kacang sekalian mengelilingi kacang yang degil dan enggan dilupakan...

(p/s: isit kulit-kulit kacang or kulit kacang - kulit kacang or kulit kacang -kacang??)

Plus, the kulit kacang particles that left the kacang have no where to go..and start flying all over the kitchen..some even bunuh diri down the sink. then, NICK CHAN the Hongkie come in:

"Eii..What is MONSTER doing here clogging the sink???"

End up have to one by one remove the skin..so if any1 have a SUPERB method n unmessy method, please inform me..like using relau gas or stg liddat..ok ok ..set..

However, the end product was cheap and nice...PLUS finished in 1 day..
If buy from AI HUA chinese supermarket, its 1.50 pounds for 15 miserable balls..



I sempat make 52 biji (lesser in the picture cos already masuk perut) with 1/2 a packet of kacang which cost 49.99 pence n flour less than 19.56pence plus mayb 35.67p for electricity..plus micellaneous...all add together less than 1 POUND...and can pass time sumore..hoho..
I HAPPY, YOU HAPPY, EVERYBODY HAPPY...HUA HI TIO HO!!

announcement: for those EX-prisoners, there will be a gathering in Manchester this weekend for chinese new year..Please be there sharp at watever time u like..
