malaysian (homemade/partly homemade) food

sushi: made by me,later repaired by mom
..made from a sushi kit bought in russia..gmi and shuk used to make it(sedap plak tu). the ingredients were a bit unorthodox as i put my morning sausages into them (well including some cucumber)
kakak noni tak sempat makan,tapi adik pun tak mkn byk-hehe..tak jadik sgt









my breakfast- err,sometimes.usually it's sandwiches, nasi lemak etc.still these are the foodstuffs i wont get for at least another 10 months- sausages(with cheese fillings), keropok lekor& sos cili, hash browns

















sambal sotong- one of many of mom's cookings..it's just one example,but i'll miss them all















blueberry cheese cake with tiger biscuits as base- made by kakak noni n mak,sedaap















'sambal tempoyak and cheese' toast
my big sis's very own recipe-original tuu..
memang die suke dari dulu..betul tak?








i thank God for a loving family and another chance for me to taste these great food before i go back to Russia. InsyaAllah i'll be back for more,hehe

(these were those few times when i managed to get a photo before my mind stops thinking and the eating instinct takes over )

final week of family& food in malaysia

what would those standing right under these clouds see?a dark, low cloud covering the sky? but as i stand here, i see beauty...
they are right,but i'm not wrong.
it's just another perspective








last week i went to kk for about a ..er ..week.
i stayed at a hotel(best woo) with my father who's having a meeting there..
i didnt do much (originally i thought of going there for only 2 days) because i kept postponing my going back, as i met more friends there. the 1st few days was spent jalan-jalan,and learning a bit of the Sabah dialect(the LC employees were a great help) A friend of my father's offerred me at the last minute to meet his children and go out with them. strangely enough everything worked well for me, as his son,Nasa was friendly n quite fun to be with, while the sister,nurul ain is 2nd year KSMU student and coincidentally a roomate of the student who had done practicals at the same time and hospital with me- so we had some things in common. i met some more kursk students the night i met them,as the family treated me to dinner(thanks!)- to keep it short the few days i met them was enough for me to say we got quite close.insyaAllah the friendship will last and i wont forget to contact them again the next time i got to kk,or whenever we meet!
i had to go back earlier (they invited me to stay longer) because my sisters were coming that saturday!we had some fun ,but it's shortlived- my kakak went back today,and my youngest sis will be back this saturday,then i will follow suit this monday..huhu
i have less than a week now..wheee
but the past 6 weeks have been fun..and full, i hope.it sure is not a waste,whether i was moving around in kl, or stayingin my house for a week with my family,insyaAllah,it wont be.

how can i change the american minds? please believe this video,it's exactly what the rest of the world's media shows,and is the truth

ya Allah selamatkanlah hamba-hambamu di bumi palestine dan lubnan..berilah pertolonganmu kepada kami ya Allah..sesungguhnya aku ini insan yang lemah dan hina..zalimkah kami ya Allah..

the comment entry

as i have nothing better to do, and to decrease the number of dumb/useless entries(let's face it..if i write entries everyday like this the material is bound to get less and wont be that interesting..take 'desperate housewives' for example,though of course u wont know anything abou because i didnt publish it,hehe.i am in a sense my own worst critic)
AND to jolt up that creative part of the brain...i'd like to make this entry solely for the purpose of commenting( kinda like a game for me,but u guys can chip in too,but there's not many of you anyway[it's true and i' not sad one bit by the fact-i like writing more than the attention] so i guess this will mostly be played by me)
the idea: comments will be added to this entry..the comments that count must be more than 15 words(i'm making this up as i go) and i must reach a goal of at least 10 countable comments before i consider publishing my next entry?..talk about 'takde keje'..hehe
any language can be used,preferably in russian so that non russians and us alike can get more confused,hehe
mmm..and a punch line /interesting point/ funny piece must be added for it to count..(wahahaha..the wall's getting higher)
if i cant do this..that means i dont have enough ideas to even make a new entry,but if others join in it counts as i get a new idea all the same.
though it might sound a bit wacko (some might think "making it harder for himself to blog&playing a game all by himself?-this guy's nuts") but i think it's a good motivator for me to build that long forgotten spirit of competition,accepting a challenge and finishing what i set to do
poyekhali!

things i found out and stuff

years ago formatting a computer meant painstakingly,manually putting in 25 DISKETTES!yes, 25! in and out to install the drivers and whatnot..meaning it takes a longer time,and u cant leave it like nowadays when u only need 1 or 2 discs.another thing is that they have to be installed in the exact order,so if you lose/damage the 4th etc..the whole set would be useless!so u'll need backups

you can gain weight even with severe diarrhoea in malaysia.

semandak means perempuan ,and the labuan dialect is nearer to brunei's

the recent weather changes in labuan i'm experiencing is partly due to that storm in Sabah

underwater fishing is usually done at night with a torchlight,snorkel/scuba equipment & an underwater gun?/crossbow?..the fish is usually around 1m ,never too big as u might be pulled ( it's underwater- if they're bigger,they have the advantage)

the Sipadan coral reef is world renowned as one of the world's best, if not the most beautiful..now if only i could just get there without wasting too much money.

the village of Patau-Patau in Labuan is also another village fully on water..with stilts and walkways and stuff

i shamefully have to admit,though i considered/pictured myself as the exact oppossite of a shopaholic- i had spent a lot on clothes,books,cds,some quite expensive electronic gadgets,food,a bag and a very cool pair of sting sunglasses!oh and not to forget even a winter jacket in malaysia!..i only found out when i came home with a winter jacket and 2 shirts,sat down,made a list..and freaked out..huhu

i still have not written anything about that practical in labuan hospital..dunno i don seem to have the mood though i really wanted to do it.
yesterday i did write yet another entry but the frequency of that happening seemed too much so i saved 'desperate housewives' as a draft and let anyone interested wonder 'what in heavens would i have written with that title'

another thing is that i'm sorry if you see this blog without enough anti-war articles or anything..it's my fault, though i feel deeply for the plight of my lebanese n palestine brothers and sisters, somehow i dont want (yet) to put any, as i feel that putting anything,no matter how much, isnt enough, and ,and i'll try to make up with some other things insyAllah i can do
i really admire though, the other muslims writing, i support them and any other attempt to bring back the peace..no matter how small or big,
for me, i will do my part in other ways and let this blog stay light and be a place for a mind to relax a bit for a while.

spasiba..

maybe a bit dramatized?that's for me to know..khekhekhe

halfway through the holidays..

first of all..my thanks to those who cared to comment and even complimented me on the russian entries.personally i thought it was a nice change too, and 'sempoi'(simple), but if looked carefully,i'm almost certain my faults and blunders would be seen,no matter how many times i recheck..hehe. still i wish to practice and improve myself, and i know others want the same too..so lets continue encouraging ourselves and others to practice& improve without worrying so much about the faults we humans have...right?

i have reached the mid-point of my 7-week holiday i.e. the end of my 4th week.listed are events
the 1st week(9-16)- my arrival,the start of my practicals in Hospital Labuan,that trip to Kuraman island
the 2nd week(17-22)-a full week of practicals
the 3rd week(23/7-1/8)-my trip to semenanjung(kl bought some stuffs,met friends,bathed at the river,kuantan came with shuk,zam,sam, met some volgo friends'pahang-met my brother&extended family)
my 4th week(2/8 till now,5/8)- my last days in hospital Labuan..i actually felt sorry to leave! special thanks to the hospital, dr.zaini, dr. joshua,dr nagesh and the many many illustrious people i met throughout my attachment
details of this week,will be added if time permits,and i'll want to put in a pic or two..but in accordance with the wishes of the hospital administration,all my pics will be only for personal use..we'll see

so what do i plan to do now?
5th week (starting 6th)- kk seems a nice target,this is my chance to take that mountain,not forgetting that party with the nice dr nagesh & nurses of KP3 were gracious enough to invite me this wednesday,labuan's patau2,parks & beaches havent been explored too
6th week- my brother's coming from kuching was cancelled.should i go to him?sounds kinda fun
7th week(19-28)- my two sisters are coming from johor and langkawi..maybe i'll take them to brunei..
finally it's back to kl,and volgograd for me..huhu..


PS: my condolences to dr. nagesh and family for their recent loss, and congrats to the OIC & malaysia for starting to make a move..please help my/our palestine brothers and sisters throughout this crisis and help ease their suffering...
