Nelly is back

After weeks of M.I.A, I'm back!

.

The few days before Clinical Exam almost pushed me to the brim of psychosis. Argh, the fear of the uncertainties, I really don't want to relive it.

.

Now, I have gladly recovered from the physical and mental torture. Gonna rest my mind really well. Nourish my body with good Penang food. Get more than enough sleep. Watch movies non-stop. Continue exploring music. 

.

More great days ahead yo!

Fearless Me

While people are studying hard for professional exam, I did the following:

Tried Godiva Dark Chocolate Cake (RM 15). Pricey for a piece of cake, but totally worth it because of the richness of chocolate. Consists of 3 layers: chocolate mousse, semi-solid chocolate in the mid-layer and chocolate cake base. Topped off with a piece of chocolate truffle, it was so satisfying despite the heaviness of finishing a piece of chocolate cake all by myself. Rated 9.5/10 (minus 0.5 for the lack of bitterness which I kinda expect it to have). Really value for money considering it was from Godiva.

Bought a shirt as CNY was approaching, and had some fun with mirrors >.<

Had lunch at Din Tai Fung Restaurant. Tried the Braised Beef Noodle. It was alright. Not sure if it was the MSG which did the trick or what lol. Beef was tender enough. Didn't  find anything extraordinary with the La Mian. The Pumpkin Coated with Salted Egg was nice though. 

Sigh. I seriously need better time management and resistance towards food addiction....

Failed mind algorithm

One fine day, I went for Dermatology appointment. Things went well until the moment I stepped out of the clinic. I did not know what to do. Well actually I did, but as usual, my tricky mind would come out with a few options to confuse me.


What to do next? Options:
A. Go back to hostel via taxi and study. Expensive fare. Hmmm.
B. Go back to hostel via LRT and study. Time consuming. Hmmm.
C. Since I am here already, I should go to mall. Watch a movie maybe. Hmm.
D. Since I am here already, I should go to mall. Have some good food and stay there to study instead of watching movie. Hmm.


OK it took me 5 minutes just to wander around the taxi station to decide what to do. Being unable to come out with conclusion, I went to stationery store to buy some stuff and buy some time to continue thinking. Stepping out of the store, I decided to choose option D. That led me to another question: which mall? And what to eat? After another round of contemplation, I narrowed it down into a few options:


Which mall and what to eat? Options:
A. Times Square. Been wanting to try Wendy's chili corn carne and baked potato.
B. Suria KLCC. Been wanting to go to the sky bridge and give Manhattan Fish Market another chance.
C. Not going to mall. Instead go to LeVain for the pastries and my favorite mushroom soup.


This time around, I failed to come out with an answer. Frustrated, I decided to just wait for the next available bus and let it decide for me instead. After a short wait, the bus arrived. I would pass by either Bukit Bintang or KLCC. In the bus, I finally decided to go for option A as it was more time saving. Sky Bridge can wait la.


In the bus, I realized my cleanser was leaking coz the cap was loosened, and the content was wetting my bag quickly. I had to get off the bus at KLCC to clean up the mess. After spending 15 minutes cleaning and drying up things in my bag, I quickly headed to Sky Bridge counter, just to realize that the tickets were out for the day. Disappointed, I decided to go for my lunch. To my surprise, MFM was no longer there. Alrite at this stage my plan failed utterly. (=.=) I had to come out with new plans of what to eat. 


What to eat now? Options:
A. Chilis. Love the food there. But then again I think I should try new restaurant.
B. KFC. Their new cheesy volcano snack box looks nice. The keyword: cheese. But then again, having it in KLCC is kinda lame. There is one KFC restaurant right opposite my campus.
C. Malones Irish Pub & Restaurant. New restaurant. Irish food. Intriguing.


I did not take long to decide. Option C it was. Entering the restaurant, I had to face another round of decision-making, which had been a real headache for me all the while - what to order?


What to order? Options:
A. Beer battered fish and chips. Interesting. However, how different can it be from regular fish & chips?
B. Beef burger with loaded fries. What do they mean with loaded fries? Fries loaded with cheese? I would want to have that if that's the case. Again, keyword: cheese.
C. Mustard baked chicken. Nice illustration. But, I really feel like trying some real Irish food.
D. Guinness Beef Stew. Wow alcohol-infused beef. True Irish food. I should be adventurous a bit. A bit more expensive than the rest though.


Damn it. It took me 10-15 minutes to ponder. After weighing the pros and cons, making some stupid assumptions, I decided to go for option D. Turned out the beef stew was kinda below my expectation. Not sure if I can taste alcohol from the dish. But the portion was big though. Easily met at least half of my daily protein requirement.

Guinness Beef Stew

After spending some time studying and peeping around (hehe my another hobby), I decided to go back. This time, I had to decide on mode of transportation.


How to go back? Options: 
A. By bus, to Bkt Bintang, then switch to bus U45 to destination. But waiting for U45 will take forever. 
B. By bus, to Titiwangsa, then by LRT to BTS, then by bus to destination. Troublesome, but it may be faster than option A, and it is cheap.
C. By bus, to Maluri, then by taxi to destination. Expensive.
D. By taxi, from KLCC to destination. More expensive. Might be ripped off if unfortunate.


Initial plan was option A. However, I missed the bus as I wasn't paying attention while waiting. Had to go for option B instead as the bus to Titiwangsa arrived next.


Finally arrived hostel an hour later to put an end to this stupid failed mind algorithm.

Ain't I super-analytical or what?


Darn it I just can't let my heart take over my brain when it comes to decision making. Not even once in a while.


Next round of decision making - which hospital to choose for HO-ship.  >.<

Rants of the day

To the guys (or the guy, if you know what i mean) out there who practice offences as stated below:

1. Please lift the lid of the toilet bowl before peeing. It is disgusting to see your concentrated dried urine stain on it. FYI i do not poo by squating on the toilet bowl.

2. Please collect all your air-dried / sun-dried undies from the clothes rack. They are really space occupying. Who keeps them there for weeks?! Please be considerate. People need the space.

3. The space above the fridge is for sharing. Please don't place your stuff there and occupy 80% of the space. Some of those stuff are junk and should have been thrown away. Again please be considerate, people need the space.

4. Seriously dude, you gotta find a solution for the body odour. It is kinda hard to put up with it.

Done venting.
