I've got the recipe from Greg (my patient whom are a chef). I made 'me' self the dumpling last night. The main ingredients; prawn, chicken, mushroom, onion ,garlic, bit of paper and salts. Minced and mixed all together then put it in the won-ton skin. I made few of them and steamed it about 30 minutes. 
He invited few of us to come for dinner at Flemington KFC. (My fourth time so far to Flemington KFC)
We were suppose to meet at 5 pm but everybody was early. Good. Me and Zul arrived 15 min to 5 pm then the rest (4 of the invited few) came in 5 minutes later. Everybody was really on time.
I gave Zul a present. Hope he likes it. 
Zul ordered so much food for us. We were really full. Think I will not eat KFC for half a year. :-) just kidding. Frankly the KFC taste here not as tasty as in Malaysia. Their hot and spicy was not really hot. They modified it to suit Australian taste bud. Still not too bad. We had a great time.
I was so fortunate to have one and one session helping senior cardiologist consultant of Austin Hospital whom also the Head Unit of Cardiology Research and my supervisor during his Stress Test Clinic. Difficult to catch him most of the time, clinics, meeting , overseas name it he is a very busy person. {Sounds macam Prof Zaliha lah pulak. :-) }. His wise and knowledgeable. I grab this rare opportunity when I heard his going to do few stress test for his private patients from Deidre. I met him and ask permission if I could come and help him. I got his approval. 
I found 8 chocolates on my desk. Then Deidre said, 'Something to cheer you up". I was really down today. She noticed the difference, obviously. I was so quiet and not in the mood. "Are you alright? You look flat today." She asked. " Just worried". I said. " About the study?" . " Yes" . "Sure?". "No,not really, there was something else". I just about to go to clinic as I have an appointment with patients. I had meeting with Steve at VU in the morning. Something had happened apart from the meeting with Steve which upset me. Not going to mentioned here but I did told Deidre as I left the room.
Finally, I dedicated this "Mee Hong Kong" to Kak Ram and Eton. Buat Ju rajin rajin lah buat mee ni untuk laki tuu.... :-) and buat Nurul kalau teringin nak makan buat lah sendiri ekk...kalau tak belilah kat kedai. (Jangan Mare ehhh)
Still remember how I learn the skill, plited the edge of the puff from my mom. You really need to practice to make it nice and beautiful. You could find a device where it will plited the edge but couldn't match with the original. It is an art. 
It has been years, I thought I have lost touch. But, to my surprised I still have the skill. Need further practice though. Anyway I feel satisfied.
Since I told him I am coming to London last year. He immediately responded to my email and ask me to stay in at his place. I know he would like to return a favour, but I never thought of it very much. I told him I already booked a place online still he insisted. 
After completed my short course in Liverpool, went and met him and his family in London. He was really excited to have at his place. One of the night after dinner with his family before sun set at 8.00 pm London time end of July, we went for an evening walk. His wife insisted he should take me a show me around Cheswick an walk along the river. Nice walk and view. He like to tell story about him during childhood, school days and the history of the river. Each stop has it own history. There was an old bar near the river where he used to have beer with his friends during his younger age. Lot and lot of stories non stop. We even talk about sports medicine department future and so on. He still try to convince me to come over and stay in London for a while. Hmmm not as simple as that, I know what was in his mind. Knowing him, he wanted to groom me to be a good physician as he had done to Halim before.
Anyhow, I just told him I will think first and give the best option. Didn't realise we have been walking for 2 hours until we reach the nearest town area and a Botanical Garden near Cheswick then we walk back to his house. I enjoyed the walk other than that I know his way of thinking which I admire very much. Once I think of it some how his way of thinking has some similarity with Prof Bala. Well who knows I might coma back again to London some day may be during one of my sabbatical period. 
Anyway, I explored all over the places, walk under a river through underground foot pathway. Then visited all the historical building.
I almost give up but I still think it should be around here somewhere. I wanted to ask but most of them are tourist too even when I managed to ask somebody they were 'blurr' like me. Hmmm...
Then I decided to walk across the street to visit a Museum (some kind of army Museum). On my way walking to the Museum, I saw a huge field. I decided to walk to the field thought to have a rest and have something to eat. Then I saw the hill. I was imagining a high hill but not as I expected. Anyway...I finally found the place which made me so excited.
My patient Tony came at 8 am. He said he wanted to scold me. I laugh. I know him very well. He like to make jokes. He asked me, " Were you nervous yesterday". {He came to the talk yesterday to give me moral support, how nice of him. :-) }. I nodded and said "Yes". "Rubbish, you were very good yesterday". I was blushed and told him " It was because of you, you came and give me moral support" . I was smiling at him. "You were really good, your presentation and your slides, everybody was impressed". I smiled and I start examined him then proceed with his session. 
made 22 buns 
my lunch, buns and mushroom soup 
It was raining heavily today in Melbourne. Rare occasion. I think the heaviest so far I have seen since October 2006 when I first started staying in Melbourne. 
Not as excited compared to last year. Last year was my first Moomba Water Festival experience and I was looking forward to visit the festival. Since I just came back Sydney Monday morning I was really tired from the journey. After a short rest, I make an effort to go and visit the festival.
I was late for the final Water ski slalom. Missed it just few minutes. I do like watching the water ski slalom which is interesting. 
Rest of the festival scene looks familiar and similar as last year.
At least I have some rough idea where to go next time. Interesting place to discover. Nazie had offered me to stay at her place when I am in Sydney again next time. Save more budget for accommodation. :-)
Well, there is always next time. I really had a wonderful time.
At 12.30 pm the ferry start to move. 
Even though it was cloudy that day, still I enjoyed the ferry ride.
Route to Manly was really busy.
