On the 27th January 2007, AIESEC CUHK organized a Multicultural Food Expo. The program started with a Lunch in a Restaurant in Shatin, The local people calls it "yamcha", which means having lots of dim sums and chinese tea. In Malaysia, "yam cha" means to have supper or a drink in the local stalls.

However, the dimsums in Hong Kong have so much variety, which to compare with Malaysia. It is exotic and very nice too..

After Lunch we head to the local markets and superstores to get all the ingredients to cook for dinner. So i bought some for myself too because I was supposed to prepare some Malaysian dishes and I decided to prepare Curry Chicken and Bak Kut Teh. Of course, I did not prepare alone, I have an assistant with me. Ren Chang was there to help too…

He helped to skin the chicken, cuts the potatoes and chillies. It was fun cooking, both of us actually cooking the 2 dishes for the first time. Well, It turns out good too.

The ingredients for the curry chicken are curry paste, coconut milk, chicken, potatoes and red chillies. meanwhile, for Bak Kut Teh are chinese herbs, garlic, pork ribs, oyster sauce, dark and light soya sauce and some pepper.

On sick leave

I went to China yesterday morning for a workshop in the morning then at 12.00 we had our lunch in the hostel and we catched a taxi back home. well, of course 3 of us (in the OD team ) did not tell Kelvin that we left early. Actually it is good to leave earlier, instead of wasting the time in 301 doing nothing. so we left and catch a taxi at 1pm to Huanggang and i got home at 3pm…cool right..
It was such a good feeling to be home early. I went to bed about 4pm and wokeup to have dinner and watched TV drama, goes t the library and went to bed and woke up again at 2.30 am because i was having such a pain on my right jaw. So, i took some medicine and went to bed again.
 
But today i took leave….hehehe…. i texted Kelvin that i won’t be at work. As usual, i went to the doctor. It was funny, when the Doctor started asking me, "how are you?", what type of question is that? But i answered "OK?". then i told him that i was having pain on my right jaw, I felt painful when i tried to swallow, i also had headache which causes me to wake up early in the morning, and some flu. So he did some check up and asked me a few questions. He asked " do you feel pain when you swallowed?, can you open wide your mouth?". hahahha funny right, so i repeated my answers. Then he said that i have soft tissue in my right jaw which causes the pain. So the soft tissue was an infection of the flu. But i still visited the same doctor, I think he is cute although he puts on a face mask….hahahha.
Anyway, it is a good habit to visit the same doctor.
 
After the medication, I felt a little better although i still cant really open wide my mouth…
I took the chance to go to the library and borrowed some books. the names of the books are as the following:
  1. Drop the Pink Elephant by Bill McFarlan: 15 ways to say wha you mean …and mean what you say.
  2. QBQ! (The Question Behin the Question) by John G. Miller: eliminate blame, complaining and procastination
  3. Learn to write chinese characters by Johan Bjorksten
  4. 101 American English Proverbs
  5. Mastering German by Antony Peck
  6. How Buffet does it by James Pardoe: 24 simple investing strategies
 A total of 6 books to finish, actually pretty a lot for me and it will take so much time before I could finish all of them.
