Finally I manage to spare bit of time to update my blog.I know most of my friends back in Melbourne might wonder what had happen to me. Since I came back so much thing I had encounter. Work, family and personal matter.

Anyhow I am really hoping that everything will slow down a little bit and I can focus to one thing that I have not accomplish yet.
It is not easy but it could be done. Wish me luck.........

2011-03-19T19:30:00.001+11:00

I went to Adel and Nazim's house yesterday. As usual each time when I went there, Amanda will always showed me something. Her Cinderella perfume , her toys and so on. And yesterday she showed me all her story book. Then she said "Uncle Nahar, can you take picture of my books?" . So I did. Then I showed her the picture, "Do you like it ?" I asked. "Yea....". Then her aussie ex-cent came our. :-). Then she asked again, "Uncle Nahar, can you please read the story book for me" . "Ok.." I replied. "Which one do you want me to read for you"."Hmmmm I have, Snow White, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Aladdin ......". "I choose this one ok, little mermaid". Then I started to read the story ...bla bla bla bla........the end.. Then she asked me again. "Uncle Nahar, can you please read for me some more book" . :-). Alamak kena baca lagi kaa, hehe. I was in a hurry told her politely. I will but next time ok, I need to go now'.."OK"

So I have to bare in mind next time when I go there I will read her another story book. :-)

Chilli Padi Mamak Kopitiam : Racecourse Road, Flemington : Asam Laksa

2011-03-19T11:35:00.002+11:00

Restaurant: Chilli Padi Mamak Kopitiam

Racecourse Road ,Flemington

I had Asam Laksa for lunch. Adel had tried the Asam Laksa few weeks back. She gave 10 out of 10. That too generous :-), giving a full score as if like My Kitchen Rule show. Anyhow.....

I do like it and agree it was good. Same stuff as when I had back home. The Ingredients were perfect. The hot and spiciness for me was enough, the sourness from the tamarind and pineapple perfect and well seasoning. And the most important stuff the black prawn paste/sauce (petis). Yummy..... As if like a food critique :-) , I gave 8 / 10. Good food and would recommend this when coming here for a meal.

I was on fire...........

Melbourne: Walking down the Alley, originally uploaded by mohdnaharazmi.

I was so occupied this week, My working hours was extremely super duper long. I have done this before few times, during my degree for my final year medical exam. Then the last 2 months before I had completed my specialist training and then the last 6 weeks especially this one week. Started from 6 or 8 am in the morning then finish either midnight or 3/4 am in the morning. I think this week especially, I was really on fire. My be the new office did contribute a lot with my mood. Once I sit and start working I will continue on and on and on, and I will keep saying hey there's a lot to be done. Each time when I said that the time will drag...without knowing it already 3/4 am in the morning then I stop, cycle back home in early morning had a short nap, got up at 7 or so , have shower etc etc etc then cycle back to Uni. What a bored routine yeah..... Anyhow I did break this routine a while yesterday get back at 5 pm and had a good rest for today. Will make an easy day today but tomorrow (Saturday) will start back the usual routine.

We had another picnic gathering, one last time before leaving Melbourne. Most of my ex participants/patients came. All of them brought a plate of food. The weather was really beautiful. Clear sky and sunny. Started with 45 minutes walk around the lake then get together stuff and enjoying the food. Nice, I made beef rendang. We had a wonderful time, chatting with everybody. We had a great time. I gave a short speech thanking everybody for helping me with my study. Sincerely really appreciate for all their time and effort with all the exercise program. Thanks everyone, may we meet again one day somewhere out there.

Almost unfinish journey will come to an end

Still walking towards the brighter end

Hujan masih rintik dan terasa semakin agak deras. Suasana pagi yang masih gelap tapi segar. Di sekeliling rumahku, ramai yang masih lena dibuai mimpi. Aku gagahi meredah hujan, berbasikal ke tempat yang dituju.

How I maintain my weight ....

2011-03-03T12:14:00.006+11:00

Wooden Apple, originally uploaded by mohdnaharazmi.

As I have been involve in health, exercise, rehabilitation, sports prescribtions, injuries and chronic diseases secondary prevention because it is part of my profession, sports & exercise physician and I am keeping myself fit, active and healthy. Not just being too cautious (as somebody commented to me) but it is as part of resposibility to show a good role model to others. It is much easier to give an advise and instructions to others if I look after myself too. A chance of people will listen to me/you and follow as much as what I /you would like them to do. Not in such cases of some obese physicians and big tummy advice patients to exercise and looses some weights but they themself didn't loose weight and never exercise. It's so so ironic. You have to do what you preach. So sad.

Anyhow, not all the time you would get good response and results. Even though you have put much effort but it seems didn't show any good results. In such cases, don't give up. Just think about the health benefits point of view not just loosing weight. At some stages of age, It will be hard for some to loose weight. Still continue keeping fit and healthy. My be I am such a believer in active lifestyle. Still, you can only do your best to be healthy.

I still keep on physically active since my younger age and until now. I am already in my early 40s. At some stages I did put on weight. The highest weight that I ever had was 85kg within a short period of time (in just more than 1 months). Funny . I knew then I was being physically inactive, eat too much an eat late at night. But there was a turning point when I talk to myself, hey you have to do what you preach. :-) At that point I start to change and get back to my usual routine. I was still eating the usuall stuff that time only the different was I became more active and never eat too late and eat propotionately. Stop before you get full. It hard but have to put mind set on it. It was a successful task. From then I felt really great, fit and energetic. Each time when I advice to patients and give some talk at some seminar or conferences, they will listen and respect what I have said. I have neve been when people so interested listenig to what I have said may be because I did give an example of myself what I was before and after. So they knew that I talk with my own experience and not just talking nonsense.

Before I came to Melbourne my weight was around 70kg which was just nice at some stages it did went down to 68kg. Running 5 - 10 K is a routine twice a week . Involve in aerobics 2-3 times a week and other activities. Not much of gym work though but I do bit of light weight.

Since being in Melbourne and since the last 2 years when I was heavilly involve with my reasearch exercise study for the first time I managed to get down some more weight even lower than 68 which I have never had done before (except during my pre University and at Uni during my degree, my weight was around 60 - 62kg). Look really funny that time :-). Now my weight sit around 64 -65kg. Think that it no more less.

Loosing weight it much easier compared to maintaining the weight. Need lot of effort and self motivations. But for the last 2 years, I managed to maintain the same weight. Glad and felt happy for it. My motto was and still , just watch out the energy balance. What is the input (the food intake) and output (activities) for the day. I have a website, maybe some of you might like to have a look. http://www.calorieking.com.au There are lot of diet website but I like this one and I have been using this for more than a year. Easy and free registration.

I am still physically active. Running 5-10 km one/twice a week. Walking or cycling to Uni or Hospital and do bit of strength training at home. Just basic push up 100x a day, crunch 100x/day and squat 100x but not continuously 100x, have a break in between.

Now my next task is how I am going to maintain my weight when I get back in Kuala Lumpur. Food wise, will continue my curent pattern which will be not much different. But, the main concern will be physical activity since I will be driving to work. But, what I can do is and I have done before, coming early to work and jog/run for half an hour before work or after work or both. Running much longer distance during the weekend at Mount Kiara. The is the best spot I like to go last time , hopefully the place is still ok for joggers. And, continue active with my aerobics. Since I teach aerobics, I need to start find a places where I can teach. :-). Yesterday somebody had called me from KL when I am back in KL, coz they want to offer me some sessions. That cool.

Hopefully it will goes well for me later. I only can plan but what happen next I need to find out and try to adjust myself . It is much easier here for me in Melbourne to monitor and maintain myself. But, will see and hoping for the best when I get back later.

My Last Autumn

Double Happiness, originally uploaded by mohdnaharazmi.

It is the second day of Autumn today. Chilly weather, not hot and humid like in summer. But to think of it, the recent summer was not as hot as last year summer and the year before. Which is good in a way not much bush fire and not many hot days and hot summer night. Lot and lots of rain which is good for the damn. Now Melbourne water capacity is more than 54% and no strict water restriction.

I will cherish my Autumn time this last few days before leaving Melbourne. Will try to enjoy the colourful leaves in Autumn as when I could during my relaxation time. And by the way the Park is not far from Uni so could easily seen the colourful leaves of Autumn.

I am not sure how should I feel at the moment. It becoming more complicated and I am getting more anxious. In one hand I am looking forward to go back home. It about time, I had enough and need a fresh air to move on. But, on the other hand, everything is not according to the plan. I am not sure if I could do it now. I don't want to stress up. Just calm down and do as much as I could.

Looking at the positive side, I am going back soon. 30 more days to go.

It implies to what ever things/job/responsibility we have been given. How difficult the works are. Still, with dedication, patience and hard work the outcomes are within reach. Even though it will take more time than what you expected. But, the accomplishment to execute the job well done is more satisfactory.

I think I have been to Tony's house more frequent compared to my other research volunteers. Don't know why, I like going to his place and meet the rest of his family so friendly and they have such a nice cosy place. Other than their antiques and arts collections which I would like to see, I always like to have freshly made homemade scones. They made the best scone ever. :-) . So soft and melt in your mouth., mmmmmm :-) . As usual, Lenora their daughter will made the scone. Today she made the scone with a different flavour. It was so so good, I had 6 or may be more big scones. I purposely break my diet routine today just for the scone. :-)

Went to Chilli Padi Mamak Kopitiam not far from my house. Just open recently on the 19th January 2011. Noticed it on their opening day, and have a look for the menu and make sure it is HALAL. It is owned by a Malaysian. I went there with Adel and Amanda. I ordered Chee Cheong Fun, Yummy. Haven't had this for such a long time. This gave me an idea to make this myself at home. Had the opportunity to talk with the cashier and the cook, Faizal. The cashier suggested us to try Faizal famous Asam Laksa next time. I will, lot of other menu and variety too.The prices for each dishes are reasonably ok. By the way Faizal (the cook) born in Kedah raised in Penang and stay in Ampang for a while and now live in Flemington Melbourne.

Chef Greg and Asian Delicacy for dinner

2011-02-18T08:35:00.003+11:00

Gregory is a chef whom participated in my study research. He had been bringing me cakes, foods to the session on some occasions. Gregory is a mix Chinese and Irish, so imagine the wide range of Asian influences in his cooking. He had promised to invite me to come over to his place for so so long and only able to make it happen last weekend in the evening, while I was at Austin that day (A day after I went to Mr. riachi house). As usual he pick me up from the Hospital and going towards his place. Supposedly his daughter and his neighbour will join us but at the last minute they had something else to do. The neighbour had an urgent work appointment and his daughter (a chef too) had to work.

Anyhow, three of us me, Greg and his wife had a wonderful evening, enjoying the food and chatting. I watched Greg cooking. This was an opportunity to learn something from an experienced chef. Everything is on his finger tips. The dinner theme was all about Asian influence. A lot of cooking tips from him. It really made me so excited to implement some of his technique in my cooking from now on. Cool isn't it learning straight from the chef. :-)

Garlic prawn

Tofu

There were two others dishes, shitaki mushroom and steam barrumandi. It was rally nice..:-). He will invite me again in march and will cook diffent menu.

Lunch Invitation

I am going to get busy other than my writing starting from last weekend trying to full filling all invitation from my patients whom had participated in my study before leaving Melbourne in few weeks time. Trying to avoid weekdays if possible.

Anyhow, first house was Mr. Riachi with Lebanese background. I am always looking forward to try homemade Lebanese food. Himself and his wife are a good cook. These were some of the meals which they had prepared that day.

Grill fish

Hammus (Main ingredient grind chick peas)

Egg Plant

Walnut dipping

This is the famous Kibbeh, grind meat mix with few others ingredients

Lebanese coffee

I was really full, everything was really yummy. I did eat at all in the morning just for this. :-) . And I didn't had dinner too, just a small bowl of black rice for supper. I asked them all the recipes and will try and make them someday.

My New Office

2011-02-16T09:00:00.019+11:00

At first I was a little bit sceptical moving to a new building and a new office. Not sure if I could get enough privacy since I was told it is an office setting, open space with tables for working area with no divider. Hmmm. Then when I came in on Monday, it was totally different from what I had imagine. Instead, I have plenty of space, big table with a cupboard as a divider and shelves. No one can invade my space and using my computer comparing to last time. Nice, love it even though I only have 6 weeks more to occupy this place.

I couldn't find mackerel fish at Woolworth may be next time when I go to Fresh Market at footscray, I will get Mackerel Fish. Grind/Blend it until it fine then mix it with Tapioca flour. Total of 1.5 kg dough can get enough supply of 'Keropok Lekor' for a week. Boil it first and let it set for a while.

and fried it in hot boiling oil.

Since last week especially, I have started becoming more and more serious and focus . I am in my own world like a psycho/mad guy. Don't want any disturbance from anybody. Everybody at my Uni now knows, once I am at my workstation, with my headphone on. Don't disturb no noise. Even I will get our from the room an go to the library to have some peaceful time to concentrate on my work.

Time to get really serious, less than 2 months now. It Do or Die.

It was really cool.

It was really humid today then heavy rain with thunder and strong wind. Even some part of Melbourne experiencing flash flood. The wild weather is partly caused by the after effect from Cyclone Yasi.

I have never thought of it initially, but when I went to a friend's place he serve me with this black rice. Hmmm.... I should made one myself. Then, last night while making dinner I boil the black rice and made myself a nice desert. Kept the balance for next time.

I am really bored this morning. After a sleepless night again, I got up bit late an trying to do some work but can't focus. I went and look through all my pictures collection when I was in UK in Summer 2008. Lot of them but I never had a chance to look at it and do post processing most of it. Looking at the pictures which I took at Windsor and the Castle, I still can remembered precisely what had happened on that day. Nice weather and nice people. I have spoken with one of the police office at the castle, so friendly just before the guard changing ceremony. Pleasant memories...

Hot summer night

2011-02-01T08:00:00.004+11:00

For the last two days, I couldn't sleep very well. It was warm, over 20s Celsius. even this morning at 5am it was 27C. Don't have air conditioning, just relying on fan. Got up and had a glass of water each time I woke up. Hopefully the cool change this afternoon will make a lot of different.

Memories......Albert Dock, Liverpool

Nice Icy Cold

2011-01-30T18:25:00.002+11:00

It a scorcher, 37C at 6pm and was 38.1 C just after 5 pm. Nice to have something cold to cool down the heat since I don't have air conditioning at home.

Lunch after Parade

2011-01-26T19:30:00.000+11:00

I went to the city today. It a holiday, cooling down my anxiety a little bit. Looking at what are the activities has been offered during the Australia Day today. I watched the parade at 11am then went to have lunch. We went to Secret Recipe at Melbourne Central. Nothing spectacular and interesting with it menu. For me the price is a little bit too much. Zul said that the other out let at Prahran is much less expensive than here. Anyhow.... I had ordered Nasi Goreng with satay. Hmmmm I think Mamak kopitiam and Es Teller 77 is much much better and cheaper and the portion even much more. I don't think I will come again , they have other menu though but nope, once is enough.

Feel happy for my student. His one of the best student I had for the last 2 years whom been helping me out with my research study. Down to earth, good person and personality, friendly, good rapport with all my patients, all my patients give good comments bout him too, good communication skills, willing to learn, never show off, always the first to come and the last one to leave, leadership quality and take full responsibility on what ever task been given.

Anyhow, he had received an offer a job at Austin and need to go for the interview which was yesterday. He had mentioned that he had put my name as his referee which is not a problem for me. Then yesterday late afternoon the interviewer had called me and ask about him. I told the interviewer positive information about him which is true anyway with no exaggeration.

Later in the evening he called me and told me he officially got the job and will start working next Tuesday. Good on him.

Asam Pedas Ikan Pari ; Nahar's Kitchen, My Style of Cooking

2011-01-24T23:05:00.000+11:00

Hari ni memang dah plan makan malam nak masak asam pedas. Sebelum balik dari Uni tadi singgah pasar kejap beli daun kesum. Teringat lah pulak masakan asam pedas my mom. Ikan pari memang dah beli hari jumaat so tinggal masak jerr. Masak sekejap jerr tapi I make sure chilli betul betul masak, karang tak pasal tengah tengah malam pergi toilet. Mmmmmm tergiur bila dah masak. Sebiji my mom punya masakan :-). Recipe my mom pun. Belacan sikit, mesti ada. My dad pun pandai masak asam pedas ni. Teringat masa sekolah dulu, bila my dad balik cuti (dia selalu out station), asam pedas ni lah yang dia teror masak selain sop ekor. :-). So kalau dah my mom and dad teror masak asam pedas, kat mana tak tumpah nya kuah kalau tak ke nasi. Hehehe...ni lah nasi nye...:-). Besok pagi sah sarapan asam pedas dengan roti...Hmmmm sedap nya....

Gosh... my mood and enthusiasm fluctuate so drastic. Need to build it back still, my day haven't finish yet. Hope I could accomplish what I want to do today.

Books.........

2011-01-18T23:50:00.002+11:00

Passes by this place many many times. I don't have a dare to go inside, the state library. Just imagine after 4 years, I have been here only 3 times since the last 2 weeks. It a beautiful building one of the iconic landmark in Melbourne. Anyhow I am in the library for a reason. Trying to find a new environment to study and write up my thesis and get more ideas. At least I have a choice if I am bored at Austin, or at Uni library or at my Uni workstation, I can go to the state library for a change.

Nahar's Kitchen, My style of cooking : Mini Blackberry Muffin

2011-01-17T21:00:00.001+11:00

Still about cooking. This last weekend was my cooking freak time and my mind relaxation moment. All about food. Still have it with moderation though. :-) .

I made this muffin last night. One mixture and manage to get 12 moderate size muffin about 60 gram each, approximately. Preparation only 10 minutes and cooking time bout 20 minutes. Well, enough for few days snack / morning tea / evening tea when I am at Uni or Austin. Nice, sticky and soft. yummm

For the last few months, you can easily find this type of bicycle most of the places in Melbourne CBD. It is a good way to mobilise from one paces to another, other than walking in the city. You can use this rental coin bicycle for only AUD 2.50. That is really really cool. Anyhow cycling is a common scene in Melbourne, known as one of the the sports capital of Australia. One of the way of making people keep on physically active.

Breakfast for today....my style of cooking; Nahar's Kitchen

2011-01-16T21:00:00.011+11:00

(EPL1 with M.Zuiko 17mm f/2.8)

After 5k run this morning and before I started my day, I have made quite a filling breakfast. 'Dhal' style curry instead of using lentils or chick peas, I used split green and red kidney beans then have it with 'cekodok udang'(prawn tempura).

Nahar's Kitchen, My Style of cooking : Deep fried Ice cream

2011-01-16T11:05:00.003+11:00

(EPL1 + M.Zuiko 17mm f/2.8)

Finally,I made deep fried Ice cream. Sounds crazy frying Ice cream in hot boiling oil, but it's not. I was worried initially if it going to burst if the coating didn't covered the ice cream very well. I have to make sure the ice cream well covered with the crumbs (you can use bread/ biscuits crumbs. I used Marie biscuits then crushed it into crumbs) and make sure the oil boiling hot. Fried it for few seconds.

High River Level

2011-01-15T23:40:00.003+11:00

(Blackberry Torch 9800 photo)

I had noticed that the river level (Maribyrnong river) not far from our Uni was a bit higher than usual almost over flow and the river flowing very fast with a lot of debris since yesterday. Noticed it when I was on my way back home from Uni. I knew at the other end of this river few hundreds km from here had suffering from flash flood. It remind's me of the Brisbane river few days back. Then I heard from the news this morning a warning that the river level might over flow from the riverbank but it turn up not as high as it expected. It seems that the Cyclone El Nino not just causing disaster in Queensland only but other state in Australia including northern part of Victoria.

My Home-made Low Calorie Low fat Ice Cream

2011-01-14T09:45:00.004+11:00

EPL 1 + Minolta 50mm f/1.4

It took me for quite a while and finally I managed to make this ice cream. I have got the inspiration of making my own Ice Cream when I watched Nigella Lawson, the famous cook from UK, a journalist, writer and broadcaster. I have watched her show on how to make fast and easy ice cream few times since last year but it never struck me, coz I thought I want to get an ice cream maker machine. But, when I watched her show last two weeks suddenly I feels like I want to make the ice cream. No ice cream maker machine or any food processor required just the ingredients. Dump everything in, whisk till it smooth then put into a container and leave it in a freezer for few hours. You won't get that kind of smoothness like when you bought an ice cream from the shop unless you put an extra effort where, before the ice cream start to become hard then you need to whisk it either by hand or mixer/blend again. Then again put it in the freezer. Do the same process 2/3 times. Finally you will get it soft and silky. The way that Nigella made the ice cream, it was so simple and easy, and yet you still can get a nice ice cream. Mmmmm yummy.

Finally I have decided to make the ice cream, till date I have made two containers of ice cream. Look at Nigella recipe and some other recipes which I have found. Most of them has 3 basics ingredients which are Milk (Whole milk/condensed milk/evaporated milk), Double Cream/Heavy cream and sugar (Crestor/just normal sugar). The rest like the flavour up to you, even some will add Custard or yogurt or even add egg yolks to make it more silkiness.

As usual, I will modified most of it, because I want to make it low calories. :-) . So instead, I used Skim milk, light thickened cream then add light dairy custard to make it silky then I cut down a little bit the amount of sugar. I can put more effort to make it more smoother though but I am bit lazy at the moment. I mixed the sugar with the milk first then add on the cream. Whisk till it look silky then I add on custard and the flavour I like. I have made two flavours, Mocha and Pandan. Hand whisk again all the ingredients and put it into a container after that. Then leave it in the freezer over night. All the process only took me less than 10 minutes. The next day it ready, yup I had my ice cream in the morning for my breakfast. Hmmm so so cooling and yummy. My low calorie low fat ice cream.

Submerged City

2011-01-13T08:00:00.001+11:00

Been updating myself until now. Woke up early as usual after my regular morning routine immediately watch the news to find out if the level had gone up. The Brisbane CBD had submerged but the water level didn't hit 5.45 meter which been predicted as when it had happen in 1974. It was 4.45 meter peak at 4 am this morning and now the water started to recede. Gosh looking at the city now and comparing it to when I was there in 2008, how horrified the view is. Definitely a lot of damage has been done.

City Underwater

2011-01-12T06:45:00.000+11:00

It the worst history of flood has hit almost the whole state of Queensland. But, the worst is still yet to come. Since yesterday Brisbane CBD has been alerted that the water coming to it way.This morning some part of the low rise area in Brisbane has been covered with water and tomorrow is going to peak. The whole city will be underwater. Everybody has been asked to evacuated. Gosh what a horrified news. Keep watching and update all the news about the flood since the last few days never thought it going to be that bad. It seems that the memory of 1974 is going to happen again and even worst. My heart and thought with the people of Queensland.

I have made Fish without the chips yesterday for lunch. Supposedly to have with the chips/wedges but I am out of potatos. Instead, I have made seafood salad. Hmmm where is the carbs.... :-) . Anyhow I've made the fish batter, mix and match with some other recipes. Crispy fried fish. The whole one fish fillet, cut into 4 pieces and had by myself. Instead of having with mayonase I just dip into tomato+chili sauce. Mmmmmm nice. (Tomato sos dan cili sos mesti tak lepas)

Been up early at 5 am, but felt tired and lazy. It is cloudy since early morning. As usual I will up and go, Walking , Jogging or cycling. But I was really really lazy. Have to think what if it is raining while I am running. It took me a while to decide. That what happen if I think twice, I will start to have doubt. I had forced my self and go for the run, my usual 5k morning run.

Glad I have done it. Other wise I will regret it. Initially when I was running I was really tired then after few second once my body started producing endorphins, I became more alert and energetic. Gosh....should have done that much much earlier. Anyhow feel fresh, ready, up and go. Feel more alert now.

Anyhow....as I was walking early in the morning with cool breeze air, it was so refreshing. Made me so calm. No one still in the city it was still quiet. Not much traffic not many cars only now and then saw few people cycling, walking at Botanical Garden, few shops and cafe stall start opening their premises, brought in fresh bread, milk etc.......

A relaxing morning, no hectic , busy day life early in the morning especially on the weekend like this. How nice and so peaceful.

Petang petang yang tengah tension ni teringinlah pulak nak makan jemput jemput pisang nich. Hari tuu beli lah 2 longgok pisang kat Woolworth supermarket cuma 2 dollar banyak gilerkkkk. Memang cadang nak masak benda benda cam ni pun. So buat lah jejemput pisang nich. Ahhhh sedap nya minum dengan kopi. Lupalak bila masak tadi cuma campur pisang dengan tepung jerr tak masukkan bebenda lain. Gula pun tak sebab pisang tuu dah manis. Bila dah siap masak makan seketul memang sah dan manis nasih baik tak masuk kan gula. Lagi pun al-maklum jaga body maintain and healthy lifestyle so gula gula ni kurang kan yerr. Lagi pun kat Malaysia sekarang pun tengah berkempen mengurangkan pengambilan gula. Sooo jemputlah , jemput jemput pisang.

Location: Cellini Heidelberg.

For the last two years we had our lunch department of Cardiology Research gathering at this place. First because it is convenient not far from the Hospital and secondly it is a nice cosy with good environment to have lunch or whatever and have a good company.

The foods were excellent.Even though I only had salad because of my food restriction. 8 of year were around this year from the Head of department and one of the best cardio-thoracic surgeon in Australia. Cool. Talking other things other than work.

We had spent, I think more than two hours in the restaurant. Well we didn't do this all the time except for few occasions.We had an enjoyable time. Pity I choose a cheaper meal because in the end The Boss paying the bill. I should have ask for the main. Anyhow doesn't matter.... :-)

I love chocolate but I will take small quantity at a time. The day before I have eaten 4 small pieces, yesterday I had 6 of Guylian chocolates. For that 6 pieces I have had 373 calories. Wow, what a lot of calories!!! Anyhow...

I think I am the only one whom going to finish all the chocolates because everybody on holiday for the next 2 weeks. I will have the office by myself and the chocolates. No interruption and No disturbance. Quiet at last all by myself.
