Ayam Goreng Berempah (Fried Chicken with Spices)

Every time I go to do locum at Bukit Indah, Johor Bahru, there is always one mission bearing in my mind, and I have to accomplish it before going home, so as to satisfy my tiring day... To have to most delicious "fried chicken with spices"!!

Locating near the corner of Jalan Indah 16/5, with nearby prominent and favourite spots eg Am Bank, Moonlight, Tesco of Bukit Indah and Giant Hypermarket of Nusa Bestari, this is a location where you can find easily.

"Nasi Lemak Al Aisy", I believe it is the stall's name.

Actually been noticing this little Malay stall for quite some while, one day, its crowd during dinner time has attracted my attention, many people queuing for this nasi lemak (coconut rice), more importantly, for its fried chicken! This is not ordinary fried chicken, it is well marinated with local spices, evenly deep fried and well cooked. The skin is crunchy, the flesh is juicy, every bite of the meat brings the taste of the spices, deep to the level of the bone!! Mmm... so yummy and irresistible. I am not sure whether this stall has been rated by any of the food bloggers, but I would say this is one of the best fried chicken I have tasted in my life!

Oh my gosh look at the amount of spices on the surface of the skin, it taste so good!! probably nicer than KFC!!

Oh did I miss saying the nasi lemak part? For me the nasi lemak and its sambal actually just tasted so so (ordinary)... Besides its rice and sambal, the nasi lemak only comes with 2 slices of cucumber, and some peanuts, without cut slices of an egg or anchovies! There are many side dishes also like sambal fried kangkung, fried cabbages, fried chicken legs, beef and some other fried internal organs to intensify the taste of the meal. A piece of fried chicken sold at RM 2+ and a pack of nasi lemak with a piece of fried chicken sold at RM 5. Which means the ordinary nasi lemak cost about RM 2, that's freaking expensive huh?!!

The stall starts operating at 5pm till about 10pm, not sure which day they closed because I only be there on Sunday. So for those of you who want to try out some new local delicacies, this is my new recommendation! Cheers!

*To my memory, I think the best nasi lemak is in Bidor, Perak, my hometown, near the hawker center next to Bidor Market (Pasar Awam Bidor). I always have this nicest nasi lemak back during my secondary school years. (In fact the market located just next to my school) However, few years ago when I went back to this market and the place where this stall located, the stall no longer there, feeling so depressed that time.... hmm... nostalgic.

Failure

I am somebody who don't like to talk about my failure to the others. Today, this will document the history.

Today had my second trial for Basic Science Examination in Orthopaedic Surgery, it ended up with a failure. After the failed first trial, I thought myself had put enough effort in studying towards a pass, however, there is too deep the knowledge, and too wide the scope medicine can be. My limited brain capacity could not bring me to a higher level of success. 

Extra concentration, extra effort, and extra mileage of traveling had put in. I know, my knowledge has improved compared to the previous attempt, however, it's just not enough for me to proceed.

Though knowing my weakness, I still feeling very depress of this. Feeling of helpless, despair, at one point of time I thought of to quit study and continue to be a general practitioner. On a second thought, this might be wrong as I am still young and there are always rooms for improvements! Third thought, maybe I am not destined to be an Orthopaedic surgeon?

Feeling so tired, had been having dyspepsia and palpitation for the whole month, at least what I can do now is probably taking a good rest, relax my mind, and perhaps meditation? Figuring out my future... What will my future be?

超人，不用飞了

话说大约一个月前，从家里出发去Bukit Indah 做 locum, 途径巴西古当大道(Pasir Gudang Highway)时，瞬间被路边一个大海报吸引（因为车速来不及放慢）。海报上看到的好像是一头散发，大露丰胸的女人！！第一个理性的念头就是，在这个封建的国家，怎么会有这么色情的海报？？卖的是什么广告？？

第二眼再望过去，原来是。。。

周杰伦的散发和他的大胸肌，还有柯友伦也似故意地逝开他的衣服露肌，这就是电影《天台》的海报。。。还好。。。（照片是在之后的塞车时拍的）

再放大来看，真的好大！

事隔了一个月，《天台》也上映了几个星期，昨天才去捧了他的场，看天台。（没得去看在吉隆坡的演唱会）真的，不得不佩服他创作的才华，电影的歌，音乐，对白话的歌词，恰到好处的舞蹈，真的很棒！仿佛是一场在电影院看的舞台剧。。。

在电影院看的舞台剧？？ 上个星期报纸的周刊，就写了这部电影的影评，说这是一部在电影院看的大型MV。。。好像没错啦！只是我觉得说是舞台剧会比较给面一点。

这次周董自编自导自演，实现了他多年想拍歌舞片的愿望，也证明了他多方面的艺术才能。周董的确想法多，念头大，可惜这部电影就是毁在他编剧的部分了，电影长气，迟迟未进入正题高潮，周董编得自己从头一路耍帅，挺英雄到尾，还要崇洋超级英雄的文化。。。话说电影的最后跟红毛头的逐车戏，周董本可以引诱红毛飞车过来自己掉入海，根本不需要把自己壮烈牺牲，搞得女主角可怜的“睹照思人”到老（也不知那个姜大卫是否就是浪子膏老去的角色）。还有还有，电影提倡兄弟情，到最后竟然连他兄弟们跟坏人拼命过后的结果是怎样都没交代，真是虎头蛇尾呀！

周董的导演实力其实已经是不容置疑了，如果这部天台找来会编剧的人来编，结局会不会不一样，会不会更有内涵呢？选角方面，人物的塑照，我也不想多长气了！本来带着《不能说的秘密》的期待去看这部电影，也变得落空了。

周董难道忘了他曾经有写过这样的一首歌，《超人不会飞》，谦卑的他说自己也会累，不是万能，所以可以请他再进修一下编剧，再继续加油呢？

他下一部电影，我一定会再支持的，毕竟他一出道时的《黑色幽默》早已牢牢地打动了我！（好gay）

今天是他在吉隆坡办的第三场《周杰伦魔天伦马来西亚演唱会》，希望他演出再创高峰！周杰伦还是唱歌的好。。。

Another locum day in JB

Hello everyone, and myself:

It's been a while since I last wrote in this diary, well life is as usual, busy with troublesome patients, exercising to lose weight (have weight gain of total 6 kg a year ago since I came to JB), dealing with new house stuffs, and also preparation for my wedding this December!!

And today my fiancé is away from me in Jerantut doing her counseling campaign, and I am here in this relaxing locum in Bukit Indah (Lee, hehe...). Oh yea, nearly forgot, to study for my external examination in September soon!

In fact JB is a place with not-so-many attractions, so people who stay here be them working in JB or Singapore, they do not have many places to spend their money, so do I. Furthermore, its population creates more opportunity for locum. So dear doctors out there do consider come JB to earn extra ahha...

And mission for today, to study and relax.

Not to forget, Happy Father's Day to all, and especially my dad.

爸爸父亲节快乐！永远爱你！

A new start 2013

Happy New Year 2013!

Although it is now already 26th January of this new year 2013, this is my first ever post in this new year.

I actually started writing this blog since 2nd January 2009, which was already 4 odd years from now (please refer back to my first ever post ~ "Let me introduce myself"). Time flies, I started this when I was a 22 years old medical student, and now I am already a 26 years old medical officer.

"The time has come, the previous S Sized Guy is now grown up to be a doctor who sees lives, and saves lives, documenting his memories here"

This was the quote just under my profile picture previously, so precious, and i will still continue to serve the above quote and my objectives of starting this blog. Although today, I have already changed the e-mail address to my newly created Google+ account. Nothing else changes.

The journey of "My diary, my life, my blog" continues...
