We need MORE Blood, people!!

Wednesday, April 09, 2008 by Chemical Apple

Disclaimer: This post post is not recommended for those with fear of blood!

Ah.. High time I post some photos on my blog coz its getting kinda dull in here...
So today my Uni's CV! (Curtin Volunteers) organized a blood donation drive which was co-organised by the Malaysian Red Crescent Society and Miri Hospital Blood Bank....

And so being a kind human being (contrary to popular beliefs bout me being evil and all), I decided to chip in some of my 'Precious' blood which by the way the medical assistant told me was laden with haemoglobin. (for you with little knowledge on bio, Haemoglobin are those things in your blood which carries the oxygen. So basically higher is better..mwahaha)...

And FYI my blood group is AB + so that literally means I have the stingy type of blood.... Universal Receiver ma... This is my third time donating but still I was damn nervous.. I actually was afraid I'd fail the blood pressure limit...^^
In fact I did post bout my first time donating blood! Click here>>
MY BLOOD (the chronicles) if you want to read bout it!

My blood very very very safe wan.... You want?

The Uni's lobby was packed with people..(most of them got extra blood I think..)

Picture of the CV! girl taking pictures of the donaters...

My physics lecturer joining the fun..

The elephant tranquilizer.. '
The MA told me that its one of the biggest needle around..

So scared??
My friend who is sooo scared to donate blood...

My own pint of blood! Still warm and fresh...
Vampire's stay away!!..^^"

The aftermath.. a small puncture..
I likey the handiplast!!

Pints and pints of FRESH blood!!!

CV! people acting busy...

After donating my blood, I was up and about... No feeling of dizziness or anything... Which is great.. Nobody wants to drink and get hangovers rite? (if u get what I meant!)...
There's this one boy who fainted (or nearly fainted!), maybe first time donor I guess... And a girl who nearly cried...pity her, me and my friend were observing her that time..haha.. A couple of hours after then only I felt a bit dizzy.. Not yet had my Lunch lar..hahaha..
HUNGER STRIKES!


Me and a couple of friends went to this Malay shop which were selling Javanese food...
FYI Java is in Indonesia not malaysia k...
Apparently my friend heard that the 'Nasi Lalapan' was great here!!

The rumours were TRUE!! The food was so good, we finished the whole thing..Licin!!

Quite a long post for me this time yea?.. Hope you enjoyed it..The blood and all..
I've got a script to write and a lab report to finish and yet here I am..how typical!

Authentic Indonesian food

Wednesday, August 22, 2007 by Chemical Apple

Sorry for the slow update once again..
My family came down for a visit so kinda busy...
Another FOOD-post this time round...no wonder people say I'm getting biGGer..
This time I went to an Indonesian Restaurant in Crowne Square with a friend of mine, of course friend lar, cannot be enemy rite? .. Its right next to the HongKong CausewayBay restaurant that I posted bout before...
The place is kinda cozy and the atmosphere is Indonesia-ish...^^
You can nearly feel like being in Indonesia at that particularly moment..(nearly but not quite)..
Hope you enjoy the photos, coz I sure did enjoy the food!!

The setting..quiet and kinda posh in an Indonesian way...

The waiters, Indonesian style... All Malaysians though, I asked..

The Menu.. Complete with pictures of the dish
(in case you dont Understand what you ordering, it was all Indonesian)..

Wooden table and chairs.. Pictures on the walls..Nice..

Indonesian'keropok', kinda bitter though..

Tableware prep...

From the left: Bird Nest cocktail, my Indonesian Ice Lemon Tea..

Indonesian Leaf-steamed rice... tasty..

Mutton Satay (satay kambing)...juicy..

From left: Chicken cooked in I-forgot-what and Mutton in yellow coconut sauce..
I forgot the name cause ot was too damn hard to remember..haha
(What to do? I was busy filling up myself!!)..

Lalapan... the Indonesian Ulam (fresh vegetable salad)..
the chilli+belacan was superb..but the vege's not too my liking though...

Mutton again.. forgot the Indonesian name for it..

Honeydew juice... refreshing especially after the spicy food..

After our stomaches are filled....^^

Overall this place is kinda nice and cozy.. For dates or even family outings...
and the plus point is that the waitresses are pretty friendly.. ^^...
So if you are ever in Kuching and wanna taste Indonesian food, authentics ones, you should try this place...yeah right...

TinyTalk
1) Food....
2) Any place you know that I dont, just tell me and I'll try it....maybe we can go together??^^
2) Deal gone bad again...
3) I'm on Holiday...yippeeeee!!!



Lekor! The fishy revival?

Tuesday, June 26, 2007 by Chemical Apple

Nowadays ar my blog very very hungry!! I mean it lacks FOOD post!!
Last time I use to blog about food so much until I thought my blog was food for the eye lar..
So today I'm gonna blog once again on food...

Do you know whats the Keropok Lekor??
If you are Malaysian or you drop by in Malaysia, you really gotta have this...
Its basically mince fish meat, rolled and ready to be deep fried in oil...
It originates from Kelantan I guess, but you can get it anywhere at the streets too..
I bought mine at the Kuching wet market and fried it for snacks... nice!!!

The Lekor pieces I suck in cutting, wat to do rite? Lost my kitchen hand^^"!
1 little lekor, 2 little ...........
Wow.. so OILY a....^^"
The fried lekor...
The ones I bought at the roadside stall looks WAY better than this...
My sister, the little Pig face expression when she saw my Lekor...
Guess its OK then..wakaka

The Lekor I fried tasted better than expected.. gotta have some stock up the freezer for rainy erk lonely days.. And I'd recommend you to get some yourself too...
Fishy very very fishy oooo....
