| | Tis the season to be eating! Exams are coming up, this semester is ending, I'm going back to Kuching early next month. This can only mean one thing, more eating! More eating when exams are around, snacking and such. More eating to savour the food that can only be found in KL before going back. Then, yet again more eating when I get back to Kuching and reunite with laksa, beef noodles, ABC, kolo mee... Oh my, if this goes uncontrolled, you're going to see a very round Wen Qi by May.
Recently, I've had two different cases of two guys saying I'm skinny. And in both instances, they first poked me in the arm before saying that. Hey, my arms are not toned, please don't poke. Haha. But what one of the guys said really stuck in my mind. That was the day we were having physiology lab and before taking our systolic and diastolic blood pressure, we had to have our weight and height measured. Upon finding out that I weigh 56kg (I think the weighing machine missed out 1kg at least), the guy said "I want to be like you, thin but heavy". Then going on to say my bones must be dense and all that. Haha. Thin but heavy!
Aah, I'm going to miss this place over the summer holidays. I'm going to miss walking back to my room at night, after a mamak session or after studying at the SA, when the air is cool and breezy. I'm going to miss walking to the kitchen on Sunday noon, when it's sunny and the sky is ever so clear and the campus is quiet and feels almost resort-like. I'm going to miss the Pharmacy lab at the block we ever so lovingly call "The Red Building", where the views of the mountains are fantastic, never had such good views from a lab before. I'm going to miss having KL near enough for a weekend outing out. I'm going to miss most importantly, the people here.
Anyway, enough of that, now let's get back to talking about food yea?! Last week, I tried out a new place in Semenyih that serves Pakistani food, Al-Shad. I must say, the food may not look appetising, but it really is very rich and flavourful. We underestimated the size of this Chicken Briyani, musing over at first it's seemingly small portion of Chicken, until we got to the end of it and realised we were proven wrong. This dish is really filling, especially since we ordered a plate of Paleek Paneer (Spinach and Cheese). Then, there was that glass of Kashmiri Tea that we had no idea what it would be like till it was served. Gosh this is the nicest, most unique drink you can find around Semenyih town. I can't tell if there's any actual tea in it because the thing is just so milky and rose-syrupy, and it had lots of chopped almonds in it. It's almost a whole meal on its own. Okay, this may not be the best Pakistan food around, but it certainly is one of the better mamak-like places around in Semenyih.
Well, that's for all now. Time to get back to my darling Pharmaceutics, it's starting to look a little neglected.
