let it be white

Our planet is getting ill.
Weathers all over the world have been abnormal.
In some places, summer came early; some, there's no sign of spring.

It has been snowing heavily here. No one knows when the snow will stop to give way to the blooming flowers.

When the snow melted just the other day, and the roads were cleared from the ice and snow, everyone was happy, hoping spring will arrive soon. Then, out of a sudden, it started snowing heavily... again.

WHITE christmas, WHITE valentine's day, WHITE women's day.

I had it all.

Some friends tend to have this emo period whenever they do not see the sunshine. They said there's no joy in seeing a gloomy day, it's not a day when you don't see the sun.

When we've got the sun; we'll complain that it's too hot.

When we've got snow; we'll complain that it's too cold.

***

Well, here are some photos, showing the shower of snow.

look at the cable, of this and the next. It happened within 30minutes or so.

Lastly, I wanna wish all ladies out there a

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!!!

Without women, there won't be men, so let your hair down and have a great day.

Well, perhaps make a guy do something special for you, just for a day!

With lotsa love...

my journey

2009-02-22T12:24:00.002+03:00

Sometimes, life doesn't go the way you actually want them to.
It's not like you're not doing your best to get it going the right path.
And there have to be something, someone that just loves getting into your way, blocking.
The worst part is that they always seem to be enjoying what they did.
This is the time when I fully understand what it means by the phrase 'musuh dalam selimut'.

But with the whole lot of bacteria and diseases, autopsies, and the full chain of molecules to accompany me, I have to struggle my way through this nonsense.
Guess I have to just continue walking in this journey till the finishing line.
And the most vital weapon that I possess with me is the love from family and friends.
That's what bringing me further.

everything, moving on

2009-02-15T16:41:00.003+03:00

Well, well, well..

It's been a week since I left home after a mere 2 weeks break.

During that 2 weeks, every dinner was a family reunion. Quoting my sisters and cousins, this CNY brought the most reunion dinners ever!

And then, it's back to business once again here in Moscow.

It was snowing heavily yesterday and this morning, and the white shower just stopped a few hours ago.
Despite the heavy snowfall, classes still resume as usual. Everything here went on as usual.

Buses are moving.

Metros are zooming.

People are walking.

Classes are going.

Tests are killing.

There is no break unless the temperature hits below -35C.

Guess that's all for a quickie.
Gotta hit the books.

Just had this...

Hmm, very satisfied.

3rd Salon du Chocolat 2008

2008-12-05T21:33:00.009+03:00

The International Chocolate Salon cum Food Show was here in Moscow, from the 28th to 30th November. It was like a exhibition of different kinds of food and of course, a haven for chocolate lovers:)
Many exhibitors came from different countries to exhibit their products, not only food, but also the kitchen appliances.
My friends and I went and we tasted many different species of chocolate coming from different parts of the world. It was just...superb!
It was really an experience of a lifetime with so much food in a day, within 8 hours.

(the overview of the whole exhibition)

(a sample of homemade jam from Tefal counter)

(chocolate fondue with marshmellows)

(chocolates with roses in them)

(a participant of the Chocolate Sculpturing Contest)

(piece of masterpiece done with chocolate)

(kids painting-with-chocolate contest)

Guess I've made some deep cravings for chocolate and I better stop here, before someone starts whacking me when I'm back!

Signing off, with lots of chocolatey hugs! :)

And oh ya, Christmas is approaching, and there won't be any celebrations this year due to an important exam exactly on 25th December. But anyhow,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

p/s: with tonnes of snowflakes and snowman, enjoy and have a blessed celebration!

I changed my layout and all, and I wanted to fix the cbox where you all can write, but I failed.
I tried many times, but the cbox doesn't go to the place that I want it to be.
So, as I need to get back to my books, I decided to just let it be.
Whoever that is kind enough to teach me where to paste the code, I would sincerely appreciate it.
Any comments, please leave them in the comments link.

I'll try to update as frequent as I can.

guinea-pig dayout

2008-11-15T10:13:00.008+03:00

I've been sneezing a couple of times these few weeks, until I realized that many have been 'thinking' of me. And kept waiting for me to update eh? Thousand apologies, sorry.

But anyhow, here are some pictures from this new semester.

A friend of mine just got a professional digital camera, and wanted to practise his photography skills. So, the 4 of us went to this park (Tsarytsino Park) we've never been before to be the 'guinea-pig'-models of the day, for the skill-experimenting dayout.

Lo and behold, the Canon EOS 1000D

stolen from my friend.. hehe

2 photos below taken from

Hope you all enjoyed the photos.

And, ya, my friend invites you all to visit the link above, and give comments on the photos featured there as it will help improve his photography skills. (he's a freshie :P)

Signing off, take care!!

'med' life in MMA

2008-07-11T07:48:00.003+04:00

So, here I am.

The first post on what really took place in Moscow, my 2nd home for the past 9 months I was there to complete my 1st year, officially in med school.

Well, as the name states, life there is nothing but madness. From the early mornings to another early morning, my days are mostly spent on my study table, with my dear friends-the thick books; except weekends where my friends and I will take some to let our hair off for a day or so.

School days

[ 1st Semester : Monday - Friday ]

[ 2nd Semester : Monday - Saturday ]

We were actually laughing and teasing the people who had Saturday classes when we first started off because I've got 2 roomies who had to wake up early in the morning for their classes while the 3 of us were still in our dreams! And, it ended up, we've got a 6-day timetable in the next semester! (guess we shouldn't teased them eh?) BUT, in the 2nd semester, THEY too had Saturday classes!! :D

After doing some math, we found out that we were way better than them! We had approximately 16 Saturdays off!

The best part was during the Saturdays when I've got Histology classes, my teacher is a real mom! She lets us off early whenever we finished all the tasks of the day, which includes looking at slides, drawing the cells, and the computerized MCQ. That particular teacher actually told us to go have fun after class, reminding us off and on that we should never walk alone wherever we go, and she told the guys in my class to protect the girls wherever we go. HAHA.

Talking about the computerized MCQ, it's scary. The concept is something like the Undang test we had back then, but it's way worse. There's no such thing called 'undo' and you can change your selected answer. So, it's either choose wisely or die! It's 12 questions per week, (it's a weekly thingy, no escape) and you can only have ONE mistake to get the full mark of 5.

The 'favorite' day of all 1st years is none other than THURSDAY. Just go around asking and you will hear a lot of different types of sadness and worries. Thursday is the day where we will play with organs in the Anatomy department. Sounds fun, right? But it's not at all fun when it's added with surprise tests by your teachers. The controls are once in a fortnight, and the amount of terms I gotta get into my teenie weenie brain is like Mt. Everest. And once in a blue moon, my nice teacher will start asking you some situational tasks where, again, your brain needs to be squished and juiced. During every control, there's a lot of drama! Some will be so scared till they mixed up everything. Usually the hostel will be filled with noise and chatterings and the 'mama' had to shoo us to bed, but on Wednesday nights, she won't need to do this, as everyone will be in their rooms, hugging their atlas and textbooks; finding out all ways to get every single term and their locations into their heads. The kitchen will be empty on Wednesday evenings. And on Thursday mornings all students will be seen walking like zombies. In the bus, in the metro, we will all be reading! That's the story of our favorite day of the week.

Next, there are a few teachers who has the ability to tease a person and act as though it was just a normal thing.
For instance, my Latin sir. He's the clown of the class. He's also a language genius, he knows a lot of languages, except mandarin. hehe. It was the second class of the semester and he expected all of us to memorize the Latin alphabets, and when we got to class, he started taking out the usual namelist and called the 1st person to tell him all the alphabets.

"A, B, C...urm.. D....................urm"

"Why are u thinking? Are u going to be a doctor or a philosopher? Stop thinking and just give me the flow of alphabets..No philosopher in my class ok"

The next victim was me. And, thank God, it went fine. I wasn't a philosopher. :P

Then, it was this fine day in winter, when it was very cold, and the window was slightly opened. He saw us being uncomfy and asked the guy who sat near the window to close it. And this guy is the 'best student' of the whole class as he only attended 2/7 classes that time.

Sir saw the guy having a hard time closing the window, and he said,

"Use brain, don't use strength..."

And we all laughed, but the sir remained cool as a cucumber. He was indeed a very nice and kind sir.

One lecturer, when a few students were late for his lecture.

"The lecture began 20minutes ago. Which part of the world are you from? China? London? US? Which clock are u following?

When another few came in..

"I told you all to come for lecture at 12 noon, not 12 midnight.."

"What mode of transport did you take to reach this lecture hall? The metro? WOW, I didn't know Moscow metro was that slow..."

Oh ya, and there's another Chemistry sir, who is really good and he smiles everytime he sees you. And once before our small weekly test,

"Well, are there any other questions before I distribute the variants?"

My classmate answered, "Urm, sir, what's the answer to the 1st question?"

Being sporting, the teacher, standing in front with his smile, looked at the question and then, "It's A"

We were all shocked, thinking he just gave us an answer to make us happy, but after my friend, who got the variant that the teacher saw, the answer was indeed an A.

***

No worries, I'm not a pure nerd there. I do hang out with friends after a massive exam week, either we'll go grocery shopping, chat at a cafe, or just crash into thguys' room opposite for a game of Counter Strike that will last till 12am! (although we don't really know how to play, we'll just play, taking the opponents as the lecturers we dislike most. haha)

OR, we'll get really crazy and cook up a really good meal, or go get a barbecue set just for the fun of barbecuing in the park, cookie party, picnic and all the way to making chocolate fondue.

p/s: I don't know what happened that this wasn't up until I checked it. haha. enjoy!

2008-07-05T18:56:00.002+04:00

So, I'll definitely keep you updated about

my life as a medical student in MMA
my winter holidays in Scandinavia
my summer holidays

But the problem is that I gotta wait till I'm free to update on such long stories as I'm currently 'babysitting' my lil cousin bro, till their new maid arrives.

Till the next post, bye!

2008-07-05T18:55:00.000+04:00

well, yes indeed, I've just hit the BIG 2! haha. Thanks for all the greetings, the sms-es, the calls and the mails. Appreciate them loads.
To all my friends out there, no matter which part of the globe you're living in, I just wanna say a big THANK YOU for making my birthday today a wonderful one.
Love you all, and take care! :)

2007-09-02T17:48:00.001+04:00

мой дорогой, я хочу сказать, что мне счастьливо когда мы проводим бремя вместе. всегда думаю о тебе. хочу сказать, что я люблю тебя. но только чуть-чуть знаю самый сложный факт, который никого не можешь правильно ответить-почему ты хочешь, чтобы я стала твой любимой:) хаха. еще хочу знать, радо ли тебе, когда мы вместе. покажй мне, как тебе нравиться, сколько 'хуг' я получила в этой странице = твоя любовь. спасибо!

2007-08-30T06:48:00.000+04:00

5th September is nearing!!!!

I haven't finished shopping.
I haven't finished packing.
I haven't pay a visit to my 'dear' dentist.
I haven't met all my friends.
I haven't...

[argh!!]

can it be?

2007-08-27T12:47:00.001+04:00

Today, I drove my cousins to school, while I was waiting for my lil sis and my cousin to come out, I was tuned in to MixFM. They are having this thingy where Ika, Serena C and Pietro are being 'clonned' for people to bring around and the one who brings them around in the most creative way wins. And for people who spot those participants and if they capture a photo of those people, they'll win RM 100. This isn't the main point here.

I was listening, and there was this person who called in and said she saw one in KLCC. And her name was Azimah (!!!) When I heard the DJ said "Hello, Azimah!!", I was like "Eh, I had a friend Azimah during my secondary school, but this can't be her. There must be a few Azimahs in town, and nah, it can't be". But, as the caller spoke, her voice really resembles the Azimah I knew!!! I really lost contact with this person, and sadly, I don't know anything about her whereabouts etc. :(

It's 9 days till I depart for Moscow..

positively-charged

2007-08-26T13:41:00.001+04:00

Well, today is a great day. Yes it is. I dunno why, but I'm happy today. Maybe it's because I had a good lunch today at grandma's. It sounds like a normal thing, but it has been some time since we all gathered there and have lunch together. When I say together, it means my family, my aunt's and ALL my cousins except the one in Singapore will be there. It used to be a weekly affair until my uncle and aunt became very busy with their work. So, it's now a monthly thing. Still better than nothing. I love family togetherness. It makes me feel good, and happy. And meeting my cousins, chatting and pigging out at the kiddo's table make meetings like this an event not to be missed.

I think grandma is really happy when it comes to these kinda gathering. And she was already planning what to cook since Tuesday. Haha. And, I, being her marketing partner ever since I was back, did my routine, bringing her to the market to get all the stuff she planned to cook. From meat to seafood to veggies. Really salute her for being able to think of what to cook everytime we have these kinda lunch. At this stall, the seller told my grandma to buy yam. My grandma stood there, asked me if I wanna eat the yam and meat stew (kou yoke)-however u call it in English. I wanted to say no, coz it takes a lot of time to prepare; but it was too late. She was already choosing!

Really love my grandma. She always asks me what I wanna eat, whenever we go marketing together. And I really dunno what I want coz if I were to name or list down the stuff I wanna eat, it'll be a long list. She still remembers what I like to eat like although I didn't say anything and will take the trouble to cook them, be it simple or complicated dishes. I really dunno how to thank her coz she has been a superb grandma, ever since I was a kid. She was the one who looked after me when my parents were working in Penang, and there wasn't any nannies available there. Being the eldest grandchild in the family, I was obviously being showered with a lot of love and attention by my grandparents, aunt and uncles. When I'm back for my summer holidays, I am practically her chaffeur to everywhere she desires to go. I'll be the one she goes marketing with, the one she goes shopping with, the one who helps her cook, the one she brings out for breakfast. Whenever she decides to marketing alone at the market nearby her place, I am worried. Although it is just a short distance away, there are many things that can happen, knowing the crime rates these days. But then, when I'm away, there won't be anyone to go marketing with her and she will have to walk there coz my grandpa who used to go marketing with her still has a long way to go before he can walk properly. Sigh..

This is supposed to be a happy post.. So, I'm gonna tell you what my relatives have been saying.
#1 ) It started with my aunt. I was telling her I can't bring my grandparents for checkup on the 27th July coz I was going for a trip with my friends and during that period, my friends are scheduled to be in Ipoh. And she said, "Boyfriend coming ah??" And that left me speechless and I answered sarcastically, "Yes, what're u going to do?" My dear aunt replied, "Oh, really?! Okok, I wanna go book a table for dinner.." *smacks forehead* And when the date neared, she asked my mom if my friends are coming to Ipoh. And my mom answered, "Yeah, why? What you wanna do?" Knowing my great aunt, she again said, "I told her (as in I), if her boyfriend comes, I'll go book tables and we'll all have dinner together. I'm serious!" We all laughed, and mom replied, "Later she brings a group of guys, then u know!!" Haha. Coz mom knew that a few guys will be in this trip.

#2) My uncle whom I met. The first question he asked wasn't concerning my studies or life there. It was the infamous, "Eh, got boyfriend di ah?" I was like, "HUH??!!!"

#3) Today, my grandma was telling me to get one after our lunch. And she said, then you can bring him back next summer.

These left me thinking if they are that desperate..Or are they afraid that I'll be a spinster?? Haha.. I was also thinking if I will get the person and when I do, will I make a good girlfriend to the person. What do you think?? LOL.
But, all these..ahh.. let cupid do the job eh? :P

another darling....

2007-08-25T11:48:00.001+04:00

Since I'm back, I feel like some BIG spender..seriously.

I've been pampered by my mom coz whenever we go out shopping, it's mostly my stuff!! :S

But anyway, everyone, meet my latest darling..

Was surprised when my parents agreed to get that for me..
HEHE..

But this added to my guilt. Sigh..

I love my mummy and daddy.. and I will miss them dearly... *sobs*

museum day

2007-08-21T10:01:00.001+04:00

There are 2 days in Moscow, where students can enter the museums for free.. And my dear Russian language teacher brought us to this beautiful place which has 3 museums in it.

We didn't wanna leave the place coz it's just superb!! Hope you enjoy looking at it as well..and put yourself there:)

2007-08-09T18:32:00.000+04:00

After 3 years plus not going to a night market, I finally got my parents to bring us there. And, now, I'm feeling unwell. Realized pasar malams aren't the place for us to be. No wonder we haven't been there in ages. But, oh well, it's still a great time spent there, seeing the crowd lining up to get food.

Dunno why, but I'm having a headache now and my stomach isn't feeling good.

Will update soon, till then, take care!!

of summer holidays

2007-08-06T12:56:00.000+04:00

In a month's time, I will be stepping on Russian soil.
This really proves that time flies like some rocket, or perhaps faster than that, maybe like the speed of light? 3 months of summer holidays are ending and soon, the nerdy version of me will be seen in Moscow.

Sigh......................

I'll definitely miss home. Plus the fact that I'll be flying off a day before my mom's birthday coz I couldn't get tickets on the 7th.

Sigh.....................................

But, I would say, this 1st summer holiday of mine is just... indescribable.

Well, I admit that I was moaning and whining but after a fun-filled 2 weeks, I really LOVE summer vacations, especially when you get to spend it with your friends and of course family.

Things were all dark before I left to KL for my so-called 'eating-trip' with my friends. I decided to put everything behind me and have fun, and I did!

24th July - 27th July 2007

Reached KL by bus. (yes, it's the 1st time I'm taking an express bus on my own, *blush*) Was like a lost sheep in Pudu, coz I expected the bus to enter the station and we get down; but instead, the bus stopped by the side of the road and I had to walk all the way to the terminal. Was supposed to meet up with my friends there, but I didn't know where they were. Luckily, they called me and I managed to find them within a short period of time. Went to Petaling Street for the first time after living in Malaysia for 19 years, then to Times Square, then took my first RapidKL bus ride and got a shock of my life! The bus driver was crazy!!

These were what he did:

- talked on the phone while driving
- didn't close the doors of the bus when we were moving in the city
- jammed the brake when the bus is very very near the vehicle in front
- cursed the commuters when they pressed the button
- crossed the roads when the lights were red
- blasted the radio out of a sudden

and worst of all...

- shoo-ed all of us out the bus a few stops before our destination! It seemed we're too noisy!

We had to call my friend's mom to pick us up in the end. Dinner was already ready when we reached her house, and we felt bad coz her mom prepared a lot of food and we didn't help out at all. We chit-chatted and only slept at 0300..

Went all the way from Puchong to Putrajaya the next day to visit another friend. Gosh! Her house is gigantic!! It's on a hill, plus it's 3-storey high; so you can see the whole town when you're at the 2nd floor balcony and the breeze is just great! Yeah, her family also has an orchard beside the house, which has durians, rambutans, longans etc.. Had a great time there, real cooling place.

Traveled all the way from Putrajaya to KL and had Japanese food buffet; we're practically spoilt for choice! We wanted to go for a walk after dinner, but it was pouring cats and dogs. So we've got no choice but to head home and chat..again.

Off to Sunway Lagoon on Thursday. Thanks to my dear aunt who's in Sunway Group, we got cheaper entrance tickets:D Had fun getting wet and just chilling out under the sun. My teachers said that I was too fair, so, I decided not to put on any sunblock. Hehe..

Then it's to the town of Bak Kut Teh - Klang before heading back to my favorite lil town of Ipoh...

#####

27th July - 29th July 2007

Ipoh and its food.. No one can run away from this peaceful town without being stuffed with food coz there's nothing much to do here besides eating! Our malls are nothing compared to those in KL and Penang, we only have ONE theme park and the only thing we have are the famous eateries and a free-flow traffic!! And I really love the traffic here..

Everything went smoothly until I wanted to bring my friends to Kellie's Castle from Tambun. Sounds easy eh? I took the highway, as in the North-South Expressway and smartly took the Penang way instead of the KL. Managed to realize before I crossed the toll plaza. Was happy and was having fun overtaking and looking at the speedometer, making sure it doesn't exceed 110kmph. Dad told me to exit at Simpang Pulai and look our for Batu Gajah. I did. But I ended up where? In Gopeng instead!! What a blow!! Ended up in old town for white coffee and toasts instead of the historical castle..sigh.. It was an experience gaining trust from my parents to drive on the NSE tho.

#####

29th July - 1st August 2007

Final stop for our trip - Penang, my birthplace:D
Since we named our outing 'eating-trip', we couldn't run away from eating. We were eating from sunrise till past sunset! And we went from the island to the mainland, and back to the island. Visited some famous tourist spots and the beach!! Also, we're at Penang Hill and we saw this tee; found it rather interesting and ended up buying it. All the 8 of us, with the tee for dinner. It looked like members of some illegal troop whenever we walked around..LOL. Went on Banana Boat with the same tee as well. Too much happened in Penang and if i continue blabbering, u'll definitely fall asleep in front of your PC. So, to cut short, this is the list of food tasted there.

rojak
white curry mee
laksa
wan tan mee without the usual black sauce
cendol
ais kacang
seafood in tambun
korean bbq and steamboat
char kuey teow
prawn mee

#####

4th August - 5th August 2007

Was in the city of entertainment aka Genting Highlands with my family, after resting at home for 2 days.. Mom's school had a teachers' retreat thingy and my family went, alongside with Cassie's family. Told Jojokek and Li to joined us, and they did! This trip seriously proved the 2 (one is barely 19, and the other is a little past 20) O-L-D!!!!! They were too afraid to go for extreme rides, so we ended up going for rides like the vintage car, boating.. go ask them what happened during pirate train.. They'll tell you more and further details:P Finally got to watch Transformers and really enjoyed it. Whenever it's time for our meals, we'll end up asking each other till someone gets fed-up of the question "where to eat? what to eat la??? aiyo...." All in all, it was a fun trip with my 2 ever-crazy buddies!! will miss you a lot..

This is the peak of my summer holidays and it's time to pack and head back to Moscow as a medical freshie.

Needed:

> super-high brain capacity
> concentration
> hugs
> sleep
> courage
> friends' support and co-operation
> friends' calls, sms-es etc..
> mom's phone calls

series of UNFORTUNATE events

2007-07-23T06:45:00.000+04:00

Saturday was just great with the GB meeting, the shopping session Jo and I went with Li to get her slacks and her pair of shoes instead of a skirt and a pair of heels, and lastly the MGS 110th Anniversary Gala Dinner.

Everything was perfect until everything came tumbling down upon you.

I seriously wanna cry right now.

#1 : I woke up with a sorethroat on Sunday, and I went to church. It was Youth Sunday, and the MYF was having a choir presentation. And I was told to go join them to sing. Ended up with a super-sore throat.

#2 : I went out with dad to get stuff for my friends in KL and it was raining heavily but when we reached the shop, it was only drizzling, so I refused to take the umbrella..and what happened? My sinus is back, and I'm down with a flu.

#3 : Time for dinner at granny's. I went to my usual seat, which has a window behind me and I didn't realize the window was open, so, I juz walked in, and my waist got scratched by the window pane or whatever you call the metal thingy on the window. It was seriously painful that I nearly cried at the dining table, but I just held on to the pain and continued with dinner. I didn't see the scratch until I reached home. I thought it was juz a scratch and I wanted to put some cream and a plaster over it, but when I lifted my tee up, it was...quite serious. Some skin came out, and it was bleeding, plus another 2-3 deep scratches beside it. Ouch!!

#4 : The climax of the unfortunate events. Mom told me to help print some certs. And I did, but since I was sniffing, coughing and sneezing, plus the pain on my waist, I did a careless mistake. Later I've gotta turn Ipoh upside down to get the piece of paper, which has the exact pattern as the cert. This is seriously my fault and I just can't help it but to continue my search. No one can help me in this.

I really don't know what else can happen these few days..

I need hugs and comfort although I think I don't really deserve it due to the carelessness I've done.

Life is terrible these few days, and I don't know how long it'll be.

i'm married!

2007-07-12T07:09:00.000+04:00

Well, it is a very harsh phrase, which I seldom use.
In actual fact, I've barely used it, but everything has its first, right? :P

I've been on the roads of my dear little town since the 3rd day I touched home soil, and until today,

I really really hate you, local drivers!!

What do you want to prove?!

#1 : You get into the wrong lane and then, trying to squeeze back into the lane in order to get to the destination you want.
(Plan where you wanna go, and stick to it! You wanna show off your driving skills or perhaps your overtaking and squeezing skills, do it in your dreams!)

#2 : You turn into your right lane, which is MY left!
(Are you driving in the Western countries? You're at home, for goodness' sake! Stick to the left lane, YOUR left!! or else, get lost and go drive somewhere else)

#3 : You put your signals, indicating that you'll be turning, and you continue going straight!
(When you order a cup of coffee in a shop, do you expect them to give you a cup of tea instead?! Make up your minds!!!)

#4 : You honk for no reason!
(You think your honk sounds good??!)

#5 : You charge out when a car is nearing!
(If you've got a big car, it doesn't mean that you're the king on the roads, can't you wait? Didn't you know your facts on momentum??! When we honk, it doesn't mean that you've got permission to charge out!)

I don't think these people ever cared about anything else besides themselves. They can be perfect little angels when the police are around, but after that, you'll be seeing their horns and tails growing bigger and bigger, longer and longer!

2007-Visit Malaysia Year, and don't you think tourists will be freaked out when they drive on our roads?!

Many many many, and yet so many campaigns, posters, billboards, banners and the list goes on telling drivers to drive safely since the day I knew how to read, but there must be loads before...what effect have they?

People normally blame that 'P' drivers are the ones who cause all these, but have they actually looked upon themselves and evaluate the way they handle their machines on the roads? We, probationers only picked up and become more ganas in order to survive on the roads, but I believe that we obey the rules more than those monsters out there.

Cheers to all 'P' drivers!!

(Rotten eggs to all the monsters!)

Have you ever wondered what's the thing behind being a teacher's kid?

I know this is indeed a very random topic of discussion but, the fact is at times, I'm really grateful to have a teacher-mom, but at times, it's a very very painful fact. Many will say "Oh, your mom is a teacher, so, things are obviously easy for you..." or "Aiyah, you don't understand meh? Didn't your mom teach you before?" or when you DO understand a certain things by your own ability, "Your mom taught you?!"

Things like that really haunted my schooling days, especially you've got teachers who are close to your mom, or probably those she met in some courses somewhere and she told them she has daughters in MGS. The next time the teacher sees you, she'll ask about your mom, and behind you, I bet she's keeping an eye on all your behaviors etc. It is worse if your mom's friend becomes your subject teacher. (I'm really grateful not to have any of my mom's friends as my class teacher throughout my entire schooling life, or not, I think you can imagine it yourself) Well, my mom teaches Chemistry in her school and her friend was my Chemistry teacher, and currently my sister's as well. Frankly speaking, we do feel the pressure from both sides, mom at home and teacher in school. We can fail any subjects but, never science-related ones! *touches wood....*

The public always have this thinking that teachers are the best profession in the sense that they only need to work half a day, as in from 0730 to about 1400, which is quite short compared to corporate workers. Corporate people working in offices, bank, factories...they will be in their respective workplaces and when the clock strikes, they leave, but it's a total different thing for teachers! I don't know about other teachers but my mom never gets to leave school before 1430 daily, and mind you, that's the EARLIEST!! School ends at 1350 for her, and she has loads of activities in school, i.e extra classes for students who will be facing major exams, society meeting, staff meeting, and the list adds on. This is what she does IN school, which does not include the HUGE amount of paperwork, other tasks like bringing the students here and there for competitions...and trips! I've been fetching my mom to and from school these days, and at times, I've gotta wait for her for a certain period of time, a few times even past 4pm!

Imagine, she's in school from 7.05am till about 4pm! That's like 9+ hours being in school!

Sometimes even our holidays have to give way to her extra classes for those exam-bound students! Or the trips she organized to expose them to the world outside.

Many students out there are complaining their heads off about their teachers making them do this and that, but do you ever realize that the only thing they want from you is for you to be a successful person, nothing much. And if the school does not perform well in a certain subject, who will get the blame?! No one else, besides teachers.

To my mom's students out there, do appreciate a teacher like this, for I think this species is facing extinction pretty soon. Even I didn't get teachers like this in those 11 years I spent in school.

hmm..ipoh mali eh?

2007-06-27T09:45:00.000+04:00

Last few days had been quite fun, thanks to my two crazy yet superb friends

LI LI

JOLYNN

The things we did were just crazy and full of humor! LOL. They really made my days in Ipoh way fun-er and memorable. Those 2 days were just fantastic and with all the bullyings we did to Jo.

Out of the blue, Jo and I decided to bake after saying it for 1 year plus. One of our plans after SPM was to burn down my kitchen by baking and cooking, but we didn't manage to do it due to those cranky applications for this-and-that scholarship. Sigh... And so, we did go out to get the ingredients from a shop in town, behind Pasar Besar. Jo was so so amazed that a shop like that actually existed in Ipoh. pitiful.. We went back to my house, and started measuring and mixing...suddenly, when I wanted to put the mixture into the oven... the main switch in my house tripped and there's no current. After a while, Li came. What a good time for the switch to trip eh?

So, we're burning hot in the house and Li decided to drive out and go somewhere and we kept asking each other "where to??" and the reply Jo and I will give is indeed the ultimate answer of "dunno-la!" The fact that we super-super hate to decide on where to go and what to eat, and we saw the gigantic M or perhaps the golden arches and it really gave us a 'golden idea'! Li hasn't gone to the drive-thru McD's in Ipoh, so we decided to go there just to let Li experience the feeling of a drive-thru :D

And the following day, if I'm not mistaken, we went to Funny Mountain, the drive-stop-eat soyabean milk stall. Should've seen Jo the lost sheep there when we wanted to order..LOL.

I shall not expose more of Jo's moments or she'll probably come charging into my house..haha. Anyway, with this 2 person here, my life is superb.

Thank you JOJOkek!

Thank you Li Li!

hugs, anyone?

2007-06-18T07:28:00.000+04:00

Hugging is good medicine. It transfers energy, and gives the person hugged an emotional boost!

You need

4 hugs a day for survival

8 hugs for maintenance

12 hugs for growth.

And, according to Sharon Lindsey ( I've got no idea who she is ) :

"Hugging is healthy: it helps the body's immunity system, it keeps you healthier, it cures depression, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it's invigorating, it's rejuvenating, it has no unpleasant side effects, and hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug. Hugging is all natural: it is organic, naturally sweet, it has no pesticides, no preservatives, no artificial ingredients, and is 100% wholesome. Hugging is practically perfect: there are no movable parts, no batteries to replace, no periodic check-ups, has low energy consumption, high energy yield, is inflation-proof, non-fattening, has no monthly payments, no insurance requirements, is theft-proof, non-taxable, non-polluting, and is, of course, fully refundable."

Best thing is, even doctors recommend hugs!

"How important are hugging and physical and emotional contact for people affected by life - threatening illnesses? In my work, I have found that people who receive nurturing maintain a better outlook on their situation -- and historically, positive attitude is an important factor in long-term survival.
Hugging...make a difference in a person's frame of mind, and may
help their medical condition. Best of all, hugging has no side effects
and does not require a trip to the doctor.
I recommend at least one hug a day."
Mark Katz,M.D

Lastly, according to an unknown author : hugs provide stretching exercise to short people and stooping exercise to tall people!!

____________________________________

Those are some interesting facts about hugs which I found, and well, log on yourself to

http://www.gagirl.com/hugs/hug.html for more huggy-hug info.

At times in life, regardless whether you're in school, in college, at work, I feel that there are times when we really need a hug and trust me a hug can seriously be "the cure" for your bad days! I've had enough of experiences on bad days and hugs from your friends, not necessary real hugs, coz virtual hugs will do it as well. (but obviously REAL ones work better) :)

This is dedicated to all my friends out there. I might be a pain to you at times, but I seriously don't mean to hurt you. I might not be the ideal friend for you, but to me, you guys are the best-est persons I would like to have in my life! Sorry for not keeping in touch with some of you when I was away. Really looking forward to meeting you, all of you!

a hug

No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable;
It can't be be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously,
Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorates your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!
Your circulation it corrects
Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend,....the hug!
(and of course fully returnable!)

You can't wrap love in a box, but you can wrap a person in a hug. ~Unknown

So, what are u waiting for?

Go offer your friends, your loved one a hug right now!

of hospitalization..not me

2007-06-17T11:12:00.000+04:00

darling friends of mine out there,

due to the admission of my darling home PC into the 'hospital' for some 'organ-transplant', i can't use the streamyx with my laptop and because of this, i can't upload pictures. so, i'm terribly sorry. will put up loads and loads of photos soon k?

sorry

feeling miserable...

2007-06-17T10:56:00.000+04:00

at times, i really feel as if my presence back home is not wanted. i dunno why but when i am with my friends, i feel lost and drown. i wasn't around for only a mere 9 months and i am already feeling isolated. i'm not blaming anyone for this weird opinion of mine but... it's as though you don't fit into your bunch of friends and (i dunno how to express this feeling)
i really don't wanna have this feeling in me but i can't help it!! argh!

i'm HOME!!

2007-06-12T06:57:00.000+04:00

Indeed, i'm now back in Malaysia, in my lovely lil town of Ipoh. It's been more than a week i'm back and all I can proudly say "I survived!" :)
Russian Federation, or plainly known as Russia isn't as scary as you think it is. I've been in Moscow, for the past 8 months or so and I feel that it is a city, a beautiful and unique one and I feel there's no harm studying there. Just because it WAS a communist country, many people are afraid of it. Come to think of it, isn't China once a communist country as well? And why are there so many people visiting China from Malaysia?
For the past few months I was away, I'm terribly sorry for disappointing many of you by not updating, mainly due to the fact that my hostel doesn't have internet connection and we usually go to the largest McD's in Moscow which offers wi-fi once in a blue moon to de-stress and to chat with friends and family. Therefore, I promise to spill all about Moscow, which will be my "second home" for the next 6 years; and all the fun stuff I did alongside with my close pals there.

Keep reading as there will be loads of updates which I didn't post while I was there.

Attention friends of mine out there, if you people have holidays or a free weekend, do come back to Ipoh and I'll definitely hang out with you all! Contact me k? Same house number, same address, different hp number tho:)

get tuned in...

2006-11-18T18:07:00.000+03:00

I miss home.
I miss my family.
I miss my friends.
Sigh…

Well, one month had just passed by. Winter is coming, my ‘polar bear’ days are coming. Will soon be seeing nothing but white-colored objects everywhere. Russian winter, here I come! I WILL ‘tame’ you, just give me timeJ

You’re now connected to the freezing Russian bear network.

#1: Excursion around Moscow with all pre-med people
This was quite some time ago but it was a great excursion which made us adore this city we’ll be in for the 6 years or so. We didn’t really know where we went because the tour guide was explaining in Russian with us knowing very little of their beloved language. But we went to a highland, Red Square, toured the Kremlin from the outside, walked in a park etc. Moscow is indeed a very unique city with structures both modern and antique all around. How I wish my family and friends were with me to enjoy this…

#2: Malaysian Chinese pot-luck party
There’re 28 of us here. So, we had a little party where each room had to prepare a dish. Some made chicken, some potatoes etc. My room was to cook egg. Anyhow, anyway we want it. Yes, egg, how hard can that be right? We made omelet. Sounds easy huh? No, it isn’t. Let me give you a SPECIFIC explanation. We fried onion omelet, used the omelet to wrap tuna, cabbage, chicken and sausages. Well, during show time, let me tempt you: we had curry chicken, beer chicken (yes, Guinness Stout to be exact), fish fillet, potato+meatball, veggie soup which tastes like shark fin soup, veggie and my beloved omelet. Superb food I can say! Yummy…

#3: ‘Aidil-vali’ celebration
Aidil-vali, as in Hari Raya Aidilfitri+Deepavali. Haha. It’s a Malaysian students affair, with the ambassador there and I met the astronaut!! Unfortunately we didn’t have time to take a photo with him. Sigh… Felt a little like back home because of the people and the performances. 80% of us were in traditional or formal wear, so judge by yourself-lah.
LOL. Everyone from my hostel was VVIP on that day coz we’re later than the ambassador and all the other dignitaries. Mainly caused by the heavy traffic……and girlsJ

#4: “Hipotesis diterima.”
Remember that phrase? The one-and-only phrase we love to write in our experiment reports back then in secondary school regardless whether we knew the results or fake them etc.. Hmm, I cook over here and my cooking isn’t that bad due to the “experiences” I had back home. LOL. Well… urm… my room mate decided to cook chocolate chicken after eating beer chicken the other day. Milo chicken to be exact. Yes, MILO, the drink that most students back home take everyday before school. She didn’t have a recipe on it. My job was to fry the chicken. It smelt real good and tasted so good and crispy before my dear chicken went into the potion. They were crying when they swam in that chocolate sea. *speechless* I shall not continue any further or my intestines will start their version of tug-of-war.
Moral of the story: NEVER try cooking without a recipe, please…

#5: me, myself and i
Nothing much happening so far except for tests and more tests everyday. Just finished the 1st control for Russian language. Can now understand a bit of what people around are talking. Yay me!
Went shopping for groceries, ended up suffering from backache and muscle pains. Talking bout injuries, I’ve got a few major cuts on my fingers. First was a tiny cut on my 2nd finger. Then, another on the 3rd finger when I tied the plastic bag used to keep the broken glass pieces-blood started oozing out and when I ran back to my room, blood was dripping-that was how serious it was. Few days back, another cut on the 2nd finger when I was cutting bread. I was very careful, but… don’t worry, I’m fine. Currently a fan of a few tv series obtained from friends due to the lack of reading materials e.g. Grey’s Anatomy and Prison Break. Watched Rob-B-Hood last week, nice movie with the super-cute baby. Haha.

That’s all for now. It’s been a super long entry.
To my friends back home, do keep in touch. Really long to meet you next summer. Take care! Da-sweedanya!

Hey everyone! Well, I’m fine over here in Moscow, Russia. Reached here about 2 weeks ago but couldn’t really update this blog thingy here because my room has no internet connection and the rate at the internet café I’m in now is extreme high, it’s 50roubles per hour (RM7+) which really burns my pocket! So, I can only go online once in a blue moon k? So sorry for that..:( Cut the crap. Moscow is a beautiful city! There is a lot to tell. LOL. Firstly, it’s mainly about speed here, everything is fast-going and this includes the vehicles and of course the people. Get to a metro station and walk slowly, there goes your legs! Old people with tongkat will end up giving you a nice whack and tell you to walk faster. Don’t believe me, try it! Luckily, I walk ‘fast’, just ask any of my close friends and they’ll tell you more about my ‘speed’. And, I think there’s no proper speed limit for driving coz people here really jam their accelerator really hard. I’ve seen accidents happen right in front of my eyes! Next, language is a barrier for the moment, these Russians speak nothing but Russian! And, their language is NOT easy, trust me, it requires a lot of time and it can end up getting your tongue tied by the end of the lesson. I’ve got approx 5 hours of it a day, so, imagine how tired my tongue gets and if my English deteriorates when I’m back, please bear with me:P Where have I been to so far? Well, I’ve been to Red Square, which is red as its name reads. Look at the pictures for a better picture. It is an extreme nice place, where the St. Basil’s Cathedral is located, and other very uniquely-architectured structures. I fell in love with the place the minute I saw it. Words cannot express how beautiful the place is, not even photos, but I’ll try to snap as many as I can to show you. I’ll be having field trip around Moscow next Monday, so, wait for the photos. How is my room? Hmm, I’m in a 2 room unit, currently sharing a room with 2 other Malaysians from Kedah and Selangor, both Chinese; the other room is occupied by 2 other Malaysians as well. There’s this cleaner, we call her ‘mama’ who cleans our bathroom once a week. Gosh! She’s super-fussy about cleanliness, about the condition of the room and you can’t even move a thing that is placed in the room! We did a little refurbishment to our room and we got nagged for 2 days back-to-back! She charged into our room and started ‘singing’ coz we didn’t really understand what she was trying to say, and ended up saying “Da, da” (yes..yes) the whole time.. sigh..
Transportation here is pretty convenient, as long as you know where you’re going. Just yesterday, my friends and I were slightly lost when we tried going shopping all by ourselves, without any seniors’ guide. We went to the wrong metro station, but it’s ok coz we found a way, a longer route to get to the destination which required changing of metro lines, from red to the orange line. We knew our plan very well. Decided to go for it. Ended up going to the wrong exits and didn’t dare go out. Turned back, took the other exits, look at the words and colors. This routine repeated a few times and finally... we found the orange line!! We’re laughed our heads off after our ‘adventure’. We realized that each metro station here has different designs. None has the same. Then to get to the shopping place, which has Mega [ΜΕΓΑ] (something like Mid Valley but way bigger), IKEA, Ashan [АШАН] (like Carrefour, bigger as well) and 2 other outlets; which is like a place where you can get everything under one roof, there’s this free shuttle bus from the metro station. Sounds good huh? Ever wondered how sardine fish feel in the can of sardines? Well, that’s how it is in that bus! It’s like survival of the fittest concept where you gotta push your way in, regardless of whether you’re a girl/guy, young/old. Just keep pushing, pushing and pushing. That’s the way! To get back from the shopping place, we decided to get a van with the amount of things we got. And then it’s another ‘adventure’ standing in the cold (3oC) waiting for this 226 bus. Waited…waited...waited. 295, 225, 671, 28, 1 passed. God, where’s 226? The minute we wanted to give up, aha! 226!! Ran up the bus and went back to the hostel.
I think I’ve bore you people enough, so, I’ll stop here for now! Take care people! Love you!

Lotsa love from,
Ђзх Джuен Веu (my Russian name:p)

GOSH!! Today is the latest I've ever woke up in years! Luckily I'm home alone or not..i'm dead.

Anyway, I'm currently very VERY annoyed with the drivers around me-not that I'm a perfect driver but, I do consider myself a pretty safe one. Don't believe, scout around Ipoh for me.

I don't really understand what drivers these days are thinking! The more I see them, the more I feel like bashing them and banging their cars off the road but, I can't do that coz I so love the car I'm driving now, not my own though.
What these stupid drivers do include

honking for no specific reasons and especially when they're behind a P driver like me and my friends
simply changing lanes without putting signals
ALWAYS on the wrong lanes and try to rectify it
try to show off their Formula One skills
thinking that the road is theirs, especially people with HUGE cars
cross the roads when they see a P sticker on the car coming near
forever thinking they're on the main road
show hand signals when you're a little slow
driving on emergency lanes

Listing these really make my blood boils, especially when I've gone through all of them and even got involved in a minor accident when this cranky security guard van came at the roundabout, they were on the wrong lane and their big, old junk kissed my bumper! It's not my fault at all but since I was a lady driver, with a P sticker, the whole bunch of lousy guards came down and started scolding, insulting..all those stuff!

These drivers should really be sent back to driving school, or be punished heavily - tonnes of summones and take the license away! We the P drivers are forced to be ganas at times, thanks to these 'great' drivers as our guide. If we're still as soft as what we were in driving school, driving that Kancil, I'm quite sure that we're gonna be stuck at a junction for a few hours or so, or get honked a thousand and one times etc

So, to the CDL drivers on the road, stop cursing us P drivers coz you people are the main reasons why most accidents happen, YOU people turned us to 'superb' drivers in Malaysia; PLEASE use your signals - they aren't there for some sort of deco in your dear car, stick to the right lane - plan where you wanna go!

For goodness sake! STOP honking, cursing, scolding us P drivers - weren't you once like that? weren't u once driving in a L (lembu) car????

Think for yourself! PLEASE!!!!

I am seriously annoyed with all my other P driver friends..

the LAST is not always bad

~Save the best for the last~

Well, that phrase is seriously true after a great Saturday I had, which marked my last Saturday I'm here till next summer. Although it started really bored and dull on Saturday morning, but things started getting a lil fun-er when I went out with my friends to Ipoh Parade. Although there were only the 3 of us before another 3 came, we had fun! They dragged me to the bowling alley-which I haven't been in ages and made me bowl. As expected, the ball went into the longkang most of the time but my final score wasn't that bad..:) The minute after we finished our game, all of them said they needed to go home coz it's getting too late but it was only 6.35pm! And all of them drove there while I had to wait for dad to come as mom didn't allow me to drive there.

waited...waited..waited..

Hah! Dad is finally here! I was kinda down in the car coz I needed to get some stuff from parkson but didn't had the time. Dad asked if I had dinner coz my family had their dinner already. "HUH?! dinner so early?" I was blur, but kept quiet. Reached home. The other car isn't in. "where did mom go? they had their dinner di...??" still keeping quiet and blur. When I got into the house, my lil sis told me that my aunt gave me a present and it's in my room. I didn't realize that my aunt gave me something few days ago. So, I walked up to my room, wanted to change.

Opened the door...there were dunno how many pairs of eyes looking at me. I was stunned, shocked and speechless! In a total state of shock.. Gosh! My friends, every single one were in there! Including those who told me they're 'busy' etc. I was so touched and surprise! First time I had a surprise party! They expected me to faint on the spot though..lol.

They actually pakat with my mom and my family bout this but yet, I was still that blur. We went down for the food- I saw konnyaku jelly (mom asked if I wanna eat jellies few days back), baked potato with garlic (mom bought a lot of potato on friday night)..

Experiment on posting pictures

2006-09-19T11:41:00.000+04:00

Objective : to get myself used to the uploading of pictures in the blog.

****** EXPERIMENT SUCCEEDED ******

Since I got the hang of uploading pictures in just a snap..

These pictures are specially dedicated to ALL my friends : -

well, I always hope to give you people a great surprise, some got it, but some didn't. I'm so SORRY for all whom I didn't have the chance to surprise you..but, I will do it in times to come..

When I'm away, I truly hope to get calls from all of you..I know it can be expensive, but I don't mind sms-es :) As long as it keeps us in touch, it's ok.

No matter where I am in this world, I will always LOVE you..Take this picture as a proof.

And, I pray that we can stay together as friends while we take on the next chapters of life, though we might be separated, but, we will still be travelling on the same path in the FRIEND-ship!

>>TAKE CARE<<

outing with my 2 buddies

2006-09-13T18:52:00.000+04:00

actually, this happened yesterday, but i'm too bored now so decided to get something to blog..to sharpen my skills of using the blog thingy. so, here's my report on the outing of the week - well, jo,teng and i went to sushi king during lunch.asked yinteng out for 2 reasons: 1) to give her a crash course on the job as the secretary of the school's student council 2) to meet up with her and have sushi. honestly,i don't really fancy sushi but then,i'm ok with it since the 2 beloved friends of mine love em.sushi we ate and i tried some sort of fried sushi-the mushroom is the weirdest mushrooms i've ever tasted! yucky. kept drinking green tea-cold, hot and even mixed! lol. then, came the climax of the day, jo sent me a message telling to get teng a cake! i was like "cake?! where?" so,i decided to go take a stroll and looked around - Starbucks!went in,looked at the bar,3 kinds of cakes..hmm "which will teng like?" tembak-lah and got her a slice of blueberry cheese and ipanema. and i asked that barista to give me a paper bag..i SO want the bag la! so unique and abstract! don't get me started on the paper bag.jo would agree:) yesterday was indeed a great day,dunno when will i be able to spend another day like this with jo and teng..sigh..

me? blog?

haha..i don't think anyone of u would've thought that i'll start a blog..so, here it is, after a my super good friend told me to get one so that it'll be easier for her to keep in touch with me :) and i think it's a great way for all my friends-every single one of you to know my condition over there in russia. for those who are still blur about where i'll be going, well, i'll be leaving for moscow in 18 days. will be studying pre-med for the next 10months in moscow medical academy (MMA). and will be in moscow for the next 6 years of my life..do come visit me or better still, join me there! haha.. urm, starting a new life, in a new place with new people will definitely be an experience for me especially without all my friends with me:( i will, and i seriously will miss everyone of u, regardless whether u're from mgs or acs, my classmate or not..if i were to list all of your names down, i think it'll be too long a list but this list will be in my heart and mind. btw, lemme show you people a picture on mma which i got from the net - how it is over there, i'll keep u ppl updated. so, take a look and do keep in touch! love ya!will upload more photos once i get used to this blogging thingy.
