some recent stuff..

it's week 11 tomorrow..
which means...
4 more weeks and my semester 3 is over!!!
omg.. time really does flies this semester..

anyway, some updates on my life..
u guys probably noticed that i seldom update my blog recently..
what can i say, there's not really a lot of interesting and happy stuff going on..
classtests.. hmm don't even mention them.. let's just say.. not as i've predicted anyway..
nutrition status assessment practicals was interseting though..
had our lab on biochemical tests and dietary assessment..
pricked myself and did the blood glucose and cholesterol test..
a new experience i guess.. it's always been the nurse pricking my finger and taking my blood before blood donation.. and i got to do it on myself..
and we had to weigh everything we ate for 3 days..
EVERYTHING!!
that means we have to weigh them separately before we eat.. and also the leftovers..
okayy.. i sounded way too weird when i politely asked the mak cik to please separately pack the ingredients of my nasi lemak..
"mak cik.. boleh asingkan sambal, timun, nasi dan ayam tak?"
"kenapa?"
"err.. untuk kerja rumah.."
"kerja rumah?? kamu ni belajar doctor ke?"
"tak lar.. pemakanan.."
"ooo.. pemakanan.. lepas tu kena kira berapa lemak yang ada dalam makanan ke.."
and i had to stand there hearing the mak cik talking about her views of "pemakanan"
and had to endure the stall worker giving me annoyed faces because it caused him more work..

the gross part is when i ate nasi goreng ayam kunyit..
lucky i was clever enough to ask the mak cik to separate the nasi goreng and the ayam..
but i still had to pick out every single ingredient and weigh them..
and mix them back together after all the weighing.. totally gross!

omg!! high cholesterol..


food preparation practicals.. the stuff we do when we're bored..




and the Ramadhan month has begun..
went to the bazaar ramadhan in Sg Besi for the 1st time since i've been here..
and it was spectacular!!
the crowd..
the heat..
especially the extremely not-good-for-your-health foods.. *winks*





after one of our trips to the bazaar ramadhan..
