已逝的友情

我的朋友，你过得还好吗？好久好久没和你说话了，每一次看见你，都有一股冲动想走上前跟你打招呼，但我始终都没有勇气那么做。。往往都是装作不在乎而离你远远的，偶尔，碰上面时，会习惯性的向你微笑。。心里却是难过的。。不知你是否也和我一样呢？

对不起，我的朋友，因为我的任性，害你受委屈了。。我，不知该如何补偿你。。如今连跟你说话的勇气也没有。。这其实都是我的错。。

真的好希望时光可以重来，但我知道这是不可能的事。。

曾经，在你眼中，我像是完美无缺，独一无二。。你常说，我像是个天使。。而你知道吗？你也曾是我的天使，我的守护天使。。你可以整夜不睡，为的，就是要凌晨三点叫我起身复习功课。。也常会买我爱吃的食物和零食。。我们也曾经无所不谈，褒电话粥可以褒上几个小时。。我病了，你会细心的照顾我。。我伤心难过时，你总会在我身边安慰我，逗我开心。。你总是迁就我，维护我。。我遇到困难时，你会尽你所能的帮助我，而却从来不跟我计较。。现在回想，我似乎什么也没为你付出过。。常常觉得惋惜，好不容易建立起的友情就这样，被我亲手给毁了。。

但我想告诉你，我亲爱的朋友，我真的真的很珍惜我们之间的友谊。。不管将来会如何，你永远都会在我的心中，占据很重要的位置。。在这，我向你献上我最真诚的祝福，希望你会丰富的过每一天，快乐的看每一天。。

pancake day!

We finally made the russian pancakes yesterday! It wasn't our first time though.. We made once while we were in the first year in conjunction with Shrovetide, upon the request of our russian language teacher. That time, we made the real TRADITIONAL pancakes with flour, milk, eggs, yeast, butter etc while this time we're using only the premixed one cause it's really convenient and we didn't have much time. We had only 2 hours before our russian language class..

The history of russian pancakes dates back to the 9th century. There are small thick ones called oladyi and big round ones called bliny. We made 2 kinds of bliny yesterday. One's with banana and chocolate, and the other, with mushrooms and cheese..

almost done with the batter
"with proud expression"

we were then ready to start cooking
heated up a little oil in the pans
added the batter mix when the oil was hot

fried the pancakes until they're brown on one side

then flipped the pancakes over to the other side

when the pancakes were brown on both sides
we added mushrooms and cheese to one of the pancakes as it was cooking

put thin slices of ripe banana on another cooked pancake

lastly we just needed to fold the pancakes twice
pancakes were ready to be served!

Tiraj was enjoying the pancakes!

spring is here...

I haven't been blogging in ages!!! Been having blogstipation.. Had the first two exam rotations in a row, dermatology and surgery, everyday had been so hectic for me plus the extra practical classes. The two exams went well and now i can finally breathe a sigh of relief.. ^.^

It's now March, spring, snow and ice are supposed to be melting but it was still snowing few days ago.. It's not usual though.. But anyway, my group is throwing a "surprise party" for our "beloved" russian language teacher tomorrow, to celebrate the Russian Spring Festival. This festival is known as масленица or Shrovetide, which signals the end of long russian winter. We'll be making bliny, russian pancakes, which serve as symbols for the arrival of warming sun! I'm really looking forward to having some fun with this.. Wonder how our teacher's gonna react when she sees us bringing all the pancakes, plates and spoons, etc? We haven't done something like this in a long long time.. It's gonna be fun! i hope.. ^.^
