Photo editing and me – learned something new!

As I browsed through the blogs today, I found some photos which were definitely edited in an interesting way. Then the authors mentioned some hard to get words like ‘leveling’ and raw stuff or other- curiosity didn’t kill this cat, but I knew I wouldn’t be content until I found out how they did it and what those ‘leveling’ terms mean. Faintly I recall Shuk saying something about the modern photographer nowadays editing their pictures with programmes before publishing them (yeah I might have got the idea to put my web address on my pics from that)…so I opened my Photoshop…and -voila!- some exciting, new ,and possibly precious information entered my shapka-ruined-hair-covered brain- and it kept me stuck here for about an hour before I wrote this entry.(ok I lied a bit-I ‘google’d the words and read a bit before I opened the programme)
Anyway here are some experiments I did, though I’m not actually proud of them yet…this might prove to be useful in the future…


PS:(currently i'm in a mood@ state of apparent blogging madness-as u can see,i have made 3 successive entries in the course of 1 night,so uploading these pictures, unqualified as they mightbe, is justified)

clinical pharma: post -mortem

I’ve just finished clinical pharmacology. It’s fun. Twice we went to our rector, Petrov’s lecture for doctors in which I gratefully slept (what? I was tired and needed sleep), and most of the time was a fun 2 way discussion in which Professor Frolov presents a case and we try to guess how the best treatment would be for the patient in different circumstances. Each drug’s side effects, interactions, p/kinetics were taken into account, and our case history report was a bit complicated, but exciting because I needed to explain why I chose the drugs in detail. We even had to make a table for interactions between all the drugs in the treatment course (actually very complicated. I didn’t do that well, but I tried, hehe). Bunyi mcm gempak..and I actually felt gempak too, right until the point I realized it was a bit too complicated, and then realized more could have been done. (As always, I’m a last-minute worker…ask my mom, ask my housemates.they’ll vouch for that, hehe)

Winter’s back!

The ever innocently beautiful,pure white snow, grey sky, and slippery roads are back in town this year…don’t get me wrong, I love it, and I treasure every single moment of it. For instance, here are some of my experiences/ thoughts as I walked down the roads these past few days, though it might not sound like it, it’s actually rather fun:

• Trudging through the puddles of mud like today when the temperature’s positive and the snow melts, jumping past or taking some time to think of a maneuver that could magically keep my jeans (and miraculously, if there is the slightest chance of it-yes, sometimes I pray that hard- get my white sneakers) clear from the mud
  
• Woops… it’s slippery here. But I’m in a hurry. My solution: try beginner street-skating. A skill from years of winter experience,hehe..
  
• The weather’s actually very nice- cool and refreshing. Especially the past few days, since the temperature’s positive. Sometimes I didn’t even bother to wear my shapka (that contraption-thing you wear on your head, which I had never succeeded in wearing without making my hair stick up on ends[even when it’s short like now]-so it’s like a bad hair day everyday, as if I care that much anyway, hehe)
  That also could be the reason why I seem to have a headache every time I come back after spending too much time outside…sometimes a runny nose might keep the headache company for a while…they’re good friends nowadays. But those are minor things. ha-ha…hiccups
  
• I’d like to state a point…winter clothes are almost always never becoming on a person…I try not to stifle a laugh every now and then ever since the 1st time I saw my friends here wear them, what’s the point anyway, I’m wearing the same attire- we’re all ugly ducklings here (point: you’re wearing a cushion to class). The shapka’s always either round, or oval?( in malay I think lonjong @ bujur fits the oval description. But combine the cushion wearing and round/oval caps on your head, not to forget those boots (the last time I remember wearing them, they were uncomfortable to walk in too), and maybe if we’re speaking about comfort you might want to remember the long johns which get itchy in a warm environment…you’ll get the picture of what it’s like to live in this big freezer. Ok ok I’m complaining, but it’s just for the fun of it…hehe...complaining can be a great form of entertainment, hehe…just don’t take it that seriously.
  
  Here are some pics of...

the beautiful Russian winter...
and some of it's uglier points,(a.k.a. the ugly side of Russia)hehe

different times..same road( or actually railway tracks... but in this context,roads)

The end of Syawal and the semester break

Hi! Happy holidays to those enjoying their semester break! We in Russia, on the other hand, are still having classes until late January, as always. Anyway, have fun!

It’s been some time since my last entry. Well, I didn’t have much to say anyway, either that or I just didn’t have the mood or ideas to write, since some things did go on, like the open house, open floor, the start of the AL (Arab Language) classes, the intervarsity game selections, my new surprisingly interesting classes in the жележнодорожный hospital at the end of mashrutka no4’s route, the continuation of the gynae research group… Alhamdulillah things are going well for everyone. At least I hope so.
I have lots of pics, but uploading them would be a headache, and a lot of time for the same reasons.most of them are not people anyway…somehow I seem to take more interest in nature related pictures and care less about taking pictures of others...maybe it’s a phase…
Winter’s coming! Sub-zero temperatures is a daily occurrence, though not reaching below -10(but I didn’t check)…is that why I’m so sleepy all of a sudden? dnt worry it's not dead..it's just sleeping peacefully amid the boring monotonous drone of our everyday lectures..i guess it doesnt just affect the students (the sedative effects of hearing our lectures are amazing!someone should do a research on this- it might change our medical treatments in the near future-i'm talking general anasthesia per acusticus- no needles, no overdosage!hehe)
a long road ahead

My Bad Camera Pose Excuse Shirt

I remember once when my parents bought a set of 'excuse' shirts – for cycling, bowling, hunting etc.
They were funny, so I adapted this idea from that

- The flash made me close my eyes!
- I’m photophobic!
- They forgot to count to 3!
- I’m confused about posing during or after they say 3!
- I cant pose that long!
- I was looking at the other camera!!
- They didn’t get my good side
- The shutter’s settings are wrong
- The camera’s too near!
- I didn’t know they were taking photos
- I was eating!
- I was distracted by the clown behind the camera
- I was trying to get a better pose!

takziah kepada wani 3rd year atas pemergian allahyarhamah ibunya...

a pic of moko the cat and life goes on...

"Hyperemia of the face, neck, marked ocular injection, eyelid swelling and face puffiness are characteristic of …"...a student after sleeping in the lecture… I found that out when I accidentally called Gana instead of Jana… and heard those exact words in the lecture which reminded me of what I saw when his head popped out from his folded arms, still groggy from sleep and wondering why I was calling him...hehe

i heard my mom's home, my brother lost his handset and some money...and i went to 'my old kvartira' in ploshad sovetskaya for the 1st time since last year, and fahmi's going to malaysia...so other than me,things are happening out there..

I wonder why I’m writing when I’m actually out of any ideas…now this is what u call ntah ape-ape punye entry...hehe...it's cool..we've got enough celebrations already..and its not stopping..yet...this week it's the house on sovetskaya...the next- kak sya and 4th year MARA girls' floor...yeay..more food!

The (postponed) Raya celebration 2006!!

Hi!… the last weekend was great (sorry I have no fresh ideas for superlatively bombastic adjectives right now-except that one) We had 3 days… yes my friends- 3 FULL DAYS of …err…holidays…as Russia suddenly decided to celebrate the day old Rus was united with Moscow as the capital. either that, or something like that, but I don’t really mind as long as it spells H.O.L.I.D.A.Y. for me, he he…thus the Russians celebrated “день народного единства” ( den narodneva yedinstva lit. day of national unity for our non-Russian-speaking friends), while we celebrated syawal, with all Malaysians in Volgograd invited!I hate going into details right now…but it was fun, and the organizers outdid themselves this year in the creative department AND in organizing the event itself- sans doute , kudos to them!
Thanks kakak salina and faiz(I’m still wondering which faiz is it,going to find out soon), and others for the dedications and chocolates (mmm…more food)Apart from that I spent the holiday loitering, watching some episodes of Scrubs season 5 and Futurama cartoons, watched a movie (in other words, mostly I stayed home,hehe)helped Fahmi move, ate some more… and more or less had a great time
Here are some pics

Pediatrics

As I said, I’m currently having my pediatrics cycle. hmm… I keep seeing kids. They’re cute, sometimes smelly and ‘comot’ but still cute…and I wish I brought my camera along with me, but it might not be good to snap away pics in front of patients right?

Other than that, it’s normal everyday life for me. Oh yeah, I’ve been trying to edit my template so that the title would have a background picture. But I’m stuck. How does it work? At least, how do people put pics anywhere but the in the posts? I thought you could put them anywhere…haha…misteri nusantara

THE 99 CLUB

Freedom is only for the birds. I got classes. Yeay. Sometimes the laziness sets in, or maybe I get tired all of a sudden. Sometimes I feel like getting away from all of this. But where to? I can’t imagine anywhere else I could be, what else I could do, that could have been better than what I’m doing now, than what I have here.

Other than that, life is beautiful. Жизнь прекрасная.. без проблем..
Почему ты так грустишь?- спросили мои арабские друзья..что-то ни так?кто ни-будь ругатся тебя?... нет мои друзья, я просто устал. Вы нашли меня в неправильном времени...после занятия я иногда так. Ета нормально..можно сказать ета настоящая студенческая жизнь.

Однажды один друг спросил меня- Ты предпоследный курс?.. Я удивился..ета я?считаю, что ето значит очень краткое время осталось, до получения мечты.(чувство страха и предварения о будущее смешают в душе)
(И как чувтвуют наши сестры в шестом курсе- еще несколько шагов до конца обучения?)..но ета может выть еще рано..еще не думают люди, кроме когда в отрицательном настроении как я несколько минут назад..

Here’s a story about “The 99 club” I received by email from kakak noni a few weeks back:

THE 99 CLUB

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content.

One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy in his heart?

The King asked the servant, "Why are you so happy?"

The man replied, "Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies."

Later in the day, the King sought the advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King's woes and the servant's story, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club."

"The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?" the King inquired.

The advisor replied, "Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep."

When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy... so many gold coins! He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins.

He wondered, "What could've happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!" He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.

From that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club."

He continued, "The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning and striving for that extra 1 to round it out to 100!

We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires. That's what joining The 99 Club is all about."



Be content with what we have for happiness is much greater than wealth…

THE END

What do I think about it? Well, no doubt about it, I am part of the 99 club. But I cant help it, I can’t get out, even if my dreaming might be more than the effort I put in, I still am a person who’s trying to gain more than what I already have…it’s not those little things like clothes or little luxuries or anything, I’m comfortable with what I have...it’s those life aims that I can’t forsake. I have my dreams, my aims. I want to be successful, though I don’t really know when I can consider myself successful or what exactly would be the definition of success for me. Without aims, without dreams, how would it be possible to go on with my life? I need the motivation; even with the side effects (I think I do have mood swings, and fatigue, and irritation are something I’m working on). In fact, I need more motivation, since I’m still so lazy and unproductive and all (as far as I could tell). I keep thinking- how do others succeed, because if I don’t figure it out now, I might not have the time later on…
For that reason(since it’s a path I’ve chosen), I must never whine to anyone, I’m not even sure whether I should put this entry out here( if you’re reading it, then I did...maybe as a motivator to me and others, wallahualam). I know my limits, but I try to break them anyway. Maybe I’m not that smart, hehe.
One thing I hope wont be my source of motivation, is the jealousy of other’s successes…since that would mean hatred, and also that I’d be devastated when I start to compare myself with others and find myself wanting in any way, because as we all know, no one is perfect (only that I chase perfection… but is that wrong? And yes it gets silly sometimes as I find myself a lazy bum not cut out for the work laid out)
Someday, either I or someone should tell me to push the brakes, maybe not. But now… maybe it’s best I keep my membership in this club.

Oh, about the Raya celebrations, it’s great…we’ve already been invited to eat twice this week, one at suraya and kham’s house (the 5th yr girls’)- great food as always, the other from the 1st years- surprisingly delicious food too, and we had ‘tapai’ in Volgograd for the first time!

I’m sorry if this entry gets a little too long, boring and maybe depressing… I wish I could write more cheerfully but I guess I couldn’t today…

Not to forget, I recently started a new cycle today – pediatrics. We’ll be having our гос-екзамен on this subject this winter, meaning the exam will be in Russian and is a state level exam, so we have to do it well. Thinking about it makes it more depressing. I haven’t started anything, and I feel like I’ve been fooling around so much, but it’s already so tiring with my daily life and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. i hate being moody!

selamat hari raya maaf zahir batin dari plajar MARA Vth yr Volgograd

alhamdulillah..raya went well this year.we celebrated a bit.our class managed to get permission to skip half the class that day to go to the mosque in the morning(and later skipped the lectures in the evening..which was actually later cancelled by the lecturer..thanks!)..and the celebration in my kvartira was superb.i got tired as always(made the rendang with sam helping-susah nak kacau tu,hehe)..but it was a small price to pay (in fact,i shouldnt whine at all)

only one thing remains..to call my family..i sms my mother often..but calling and sending letters is a different matter..er..insyaAllah i will call them this morning(rite now they just got back from kampung)(it's been so many years since the family went back there together)
i havent even seen my smallest brother(not 'small & teeny weeny' small-he's 19) since last year(he was in kuching,and we just couldnt meet during the holidays..)(bad big bro)
but my siblings are big boys and girls now..hehe.. still i know i need to call anyway.insyaAllah i'll get a chance to meet him next year.

another thing that really bothers me is that i couldnt find a single 'mercun' or any fireworks till now..not even a 'bengalskiye svety'(bunga api in malay)..(why?whaaayyyy?!)


the next 2 sundays will be about deepavali and raya respectively in the hiroshima hostel hall..i wonder what should i expect..but it's a bit far from my mind as i have a lot of catching up to do..with my gynae a month unfinished(bad me),and my lectures getting a little mixed up as i thought epidemiology and infectious diseases as the same subject..hahawait..the list goes on...my sleep, my suddenly stopped progress in my early daily aims(not stated here or anywhere)(of course that's why they call it day-dreaming)(what?)(yeah..you were just day-dreaming..sheesh did u really believe u were planning?)(people please dont mind the voice in my head)-wow..i'm a schizophrenic blogger with a split personality..hehe

selamat hari raya dan maaf zahir dan batin..
selamat menyambut deepavali to my Indian friends..

48 hours

the last 48 hours have been eventful for me..my group had our first practicals for surgery in which we had to stay the night (it was supposed to be from 5pm to 8am but we went late because of some errands and came back early to go for russian class. the group after us stayed there from 6pm to 7am)..

the next day was the PPIM programme "malam wasilah ke syurga", starting from iftar, majlis khatam Al-Quran, dinner, tarawikh, a'forum' and qiamullail in the hostel..the qiamullail started at 4am..but i played counterstrike with the hostel occupants till 2.30 am so i had about an hour's sleep last nite..hehe.the whole programme finished with an after subh ceramah( i think..i dozed off halfway,hehe)..around 8, i managed to get some sleep in Adib's room and thankfully(i was afraid i'd overslept) i woke up at around 10.30, just enough time to go back home and get ready for our final day at the football field..ours was the 2nd and last matches..gmi,bear,and falah had just come back from practicals that morning,while ete&usen were sick..samfai was too sick to play..but we played quite well that day,eventhough we lost 3-0 to the reds and won 3-1 to nagasaki..

my most interesting moment in the game was when chris ran into me while i was catching the ball..that was the 1st time i had the wind knocked out of me,as i was fully stretching my body and he hit the lower part of my right lungs hard..i couldnt talk for a few minutes..i guess that was why i was too slow to catch the 3rd goal..hehe

i think in the 1st match Milo KK won against hiroshima,but i dont remember the score,then nagasaki won against Milo KK(i think), 'tak boleh belah' lost a shocking 7-1 to kim fc(i think the last few goals were when the TBB team were too down..KimFC really knew how to take the advantage..the fans were great especially those of KimFC (had placards with carricatures of their players,a few banners and big 'peace' hands-i dont understand that) and TBB (had a banner since the 2nd week,then added a few more like the orenje cards-each alphabet held by 1 person)

How to Avoid Getting Bitten by a Dog

hi i guess it's really been that long since i last updated..well to make it up, i'll put in 2 entries at once,hehe

the 1st entry would be about "how to avoid getting bitten by a dog"..so here it is:

How to Avoid Getting Bitten by a Dog

+ the 1st thing to remember- their bark IS worse than their bite.(they are like some humans sometimes..all talk)
they are as scared of you as you are to them.we are humans and they know that..unless they are rabid of course..hehe
+ do not run..if possible do not show fear,although they can sense it (trust me,the moment u run chances are their animal instincts will be stimulated and this will make them run after you)
+ hold something,anything..a bag at first.a stone would do, a stick might do the trick(try pointing it at them if they are near)..but try not to actually hit them or agitate them
+ if u cant do anything else,just stand there..they might sniff u out..but that's it..of course it might be an inconvenience if u have to 'samak' especially if they lick u..maybe they actually like u..hehe
+ climb up a tree..well..this might be hard for some..only useful if there's something u can climb,and the dog is really agitated(usually due to somethingu've done,hehe)
+ get a bodyguard or a pistol..but not good advice if u're not rich and dont have a weapons' licence,hehe

these are based solely on my experience (my neighborhood used to have lots of stray and domestic dogs)..so they are only suggestions and my opinions..if u have objections or anything to add..be my guest

netting

u guys might think i have so much time going online and putting so many photos...well think again! i'm doing my homework..making a реферат for my gynaecology subject..and it's been hard (mental) work searching for a nearly non-existent anymore term like Chiary-frommel syndrome and making a whole paper/folio out of nothing in a week(while resuming daily life,classes and lectures as always).well i guess i've found most of it anyway..and yes i did update my blog a lot on the way(and a few other things i'd do on the net)- you can say that i'm 'drinking water while swimming'?hehe..
and i thought i'd be free from boring folio projects once i get to medicine before reaching here...well..maybe it's not half as boring,once u get the right motivation,mood and attitude..good nite and happy ramadhan!

ps:it still proves i went online a lot though..hehe dah i'm going to sleep..according to my clock i'm going to sleep 3 hours..tipu(konfem ade slack mana2 esok..hehe let's hope i can get thru to the evening)

it's been around 11 days since we started fasting and more than 2 weeks since i seriously tried to put anything here..my last 2 entries were short russian paragraphs which were a headache to make(maybe that's y i couldnt write more!)

Alhamdulillah,i've updated my Birthday entry..sorry for taking so long..i appreciated that day but I really coundt find the time...my past cycles were Dermatology,Internal Medicine, and Gynaecology..now i'm starting my Epidemiology..i hope this one wont need such a long time to prepare for classes as the previous subjects.

the past few days..some important events occurred in volgograd,namely the arrival of newcomers, an 'orientation' for them last Sunday,and finally a meeting with officials visiting us in volgo last monday(who also \visited the hostel the day before).

the newcomers arrived around the 2nd half of last week..
The 1st ones( private sponsored) came around the 27th( i think) and later government sponsored ones on Saturday..

kudos to my old juniors( if u're old..i must be ancient!) as i heard a lot about how they received the newbies with a warm welcome- from the airport to the hostels, the dinners for them even at kvartiras, the cake i heard the kim students made etc. i even heard that some newbies didnt even have to cook for a few days as there was so much food passed around to them(made me wanna be a junior too,hehe)


on Sunday, instead of the usual usrah, PPIM decided to organize an orientation, with ahmad and haneem as the emcees.it was great, with the introduction,the slideshows, the advices, what where,when,why do's and dont's ..in general, it covered just about everything ..i especially liked it when everyone introduced themselves starting with the newbies then everyone else from the 6th course to the 2nd..finally everyone had to sing 2 songs together(this one reminded me of the instructor course i took in form 5 where i was the youngest and mostly were working men where we too had to sing together after a motivational lecture- yes,me & a couple of middle-aged old men in TKD uniforms,hands on each others' shoulders, singing 'sama2 menjejak mimpi' at the top of our lungs and off tune..man..but in both cases it was fun)

the last important event was the meeting with officials from MARA(mr kirin?did i hear right?) JPA(mr.fairuz),intec(mr. jamil) and maybe kementerian(i'm not sure i heard this right too)-mr azman.we had our talk..the students said what they wanted..the officers did their jobs.well,that's it.the important thing is that everyone wanted what was best for everyone..short-term and long-term.i thank these officials for coming here.i dont hope russia or the university to radically magically change,but i know they did make a difference,even if a little,and we should be thankful for that.

с рамадзаном всем!( happy ramadhan everyone!)

selamat menyambut bulan ramadhan, bulan seribu rahmat, bulan seribu berkah, bulan turunnya Al-Quran..semoga kita semua mendapat rahmat,redha dan barakah dari Allah s.w.t.
kepada semua muslimin dan muslimat- cepat-cepat jangan ketinggalan!..tiba lagi peluang kita mencari lailatul Qadar yang disembunyikan di bulan ramadhan ini..
tiba masanya kita berusaha meningkatkan ibadah kita,menyucikan diri kita,memberi ibadah yang ikhlas kepada Allah dengan menahan diri dari nafsu semata-mata kerana Alah s.w.t.
jangan ketinggalan!rugi kita nanti,hehe

ya, Ramadhan datang lagi!

(bunyi mcm iklan kan?tapi niat saya hanya untuk menceriakan suasana..pesanan saya utk diri saya dan semua-bergembiralah kerana diberi peluang lagi tahun ini menyambut bulan ramadhan)

P.S.-kenapa dlm BM?pengaruh ifos ke ni?hehe
P.P.S. -actually it's because the puns are in bm and i write better about these things(i think) in bm..or not

22-oй день рождения

k сожалению день рождения только раз в году..
вот так написанно русская песня о днем рождении, и как слишком рядом мое чувсто сегодня..наверное ето одинь из самых лучших день рождений в моей жизни.я очень рад, что есть некоторые люди всоминающих мое день рождение.
Для меня все что случилось сегодня удевидительная..особенно утром, когда я открывал интернет и увидел мою фотограФию и поздравления..тоже сама друзья и семья которые поздравляли через сообшения и которые позвонили меня..огромное спасибо



ps:i'm a bit too busy will backtrack on this entry soon insyaAllah


was awesome. Probabaly one of the best B-days ever(and that's quite good,since I'm comparing it with 21 other similar events).
so here was my day(in mood terms):-
morning - since I woke up(happy) I had already received a few B-day wishes via sms (pleased) after the usual morning rituals,i found some time to surf for an old multimedia message i got in Malaysia(my primitive handset couldnt read them),when suddenly a YM window popped up with neemo wishing me a happy bday(surprised) and wanting me to see her blog,which i did( surprised,impressed) and I was reall impressed and surprised by the bday dedication,thanks!(note the deliberate repetitiveness of some words, emphasizing how surprised and impressed i was)
after some laughs, more bday wishes from my housemates,and a quick comment or two on the entry I set off for my classes up there in balnichny complex.
Well the day passed on as always,except during our break i met kak sal who passed me my 1st bday present for the day with samfai's bday presents from her and haneem (mine was a black shirt with a camera..nice,very nice).at that time we had Internal Medicine, and it was our last day with Prof Nikolayev.
as we skip to the evening,after our football training, we had a combo bday party to celebrate the Septembrists(ok bad joke from me..the guys who were born in September- sam5 (20),me (22), kimi(24),adli(28), shafiq..except amani eventhough she's born in september cos she's a girl and she's in Nizhny)
We all received presents (must have cost a lot,hehe)then we held the knife together and cut the cake(kinda lame but freaky when we did it) then somehow it seemed like almost everyone was called out for a previous bday or something else to cut the cake again &again &again until the cake became a bit spoiled..it was a fun,great day.thanks everyone...

(ps:couldnt update more pics ..will try later insyaAllah)

test power~

for those of you who dont know russian,u'll get a kick out of this..hehe


воскресенье

утром я встаюсь, и поехал в общежитие на лекцию? хехе я писал как буд-то ета домашнее задание по русскому языку. Ну ладна. продолжаемся
так как я сказал раньше, каждое воскресенье insyaAllah будет лекция или занятие(усрах) для всех мадайзийских муслиманов Волгограда.
kpomе 3того, появился для всех кто любит играт в футбол и их друзья турнир между волгоградскими малайзийскими студентами. У нас даже есть своя команда медицинской помощи, заказанные футболки и место для игры!
было много людей и для меня 3то было первый раз я встретился с несколкими студентами с возвращения из малайзии....

ok ok enough of that i've gotten tired already...merangkak2..hehe

volgograd-the fifth year

hi!! i've safely reached russia and have been here for about 2 weeks.another week and a half ramadhan will come.so lets start this blogging before i go to sleep
hmm about the past 2 weeks--since i came it's been about :-
-lost luggages,
-unpacking and cleaning,
-registration,
-frustation from registration,
-dermatology (for 2 weeks,today's the end of the cycle)-due to the weather and recent holiday giddiness,i get really sleepy at the end of classes,but some new multivits,motivation& ginkgo might do the trick,oh yeah,by classes, i mean the doctor's room in the hospital,for those who asked,
-lectures till 5.40pm(well,some of it,a few end at an early(?) 3.40 ),
-some serious spring cleaning projects(in my kvartira) or cooking projects the past sundays,
-a football league between malaysian guys(about 8 teams more or less,with minimum 8 people per team, they rented a space for the whole sem, we started training but the matches start this sunday)
-plans for some stuffs this year (we do what we can with what we have)
-and our first ramadhan overseas in autumn (usually it was winter with cold short days and rushing during class/lectures for buka puasa n maghrib)
-no internetting for lack of time,a modem(the current one has some problems),and an internet card( we kvartira guys use an internet card & dial-up..unlike hostel fellas)

what lies in store for us in the future?

-I dont know (fate- u can never be sure with it)
-a medical checkup (Alhamdulillah it's still not in ramadhan)
-a new cycle of internal medicine (in a class far, far away)
-more entries with pics if time permits, insyaAllah( this entry's photo couldnt be uploaded)(maybe some in russian?once i get the hang of writing in russian letters)
-no more siti or mawi here (i actually sighed in relief)
-a newfound,recharged spirit (normally happens when i come back from a nice vacation, but i hope it lasts)
-more football (i like the exercise,but i'm a goalkeeper,well the warm-ups can do,and the friends are the best part of it..i wonder how winter will affect us)
more russian faces,less malaysian faces, more new malaysian faces another year apart from me(gosh,how old am i now?)
-more cooking,and other daily responsibilities usually taken care of by our mothers (eventhough we helped some,a bit..rite?)

-what?less than 2 years more?already? i tried to remember my 1st year and when i thought about a 5th year that was like, so far away, like i'd be this perfected,mature me- older but better looking, smarter,more mature,more intellectual..well that sort of thing. i look at the mirror and i still see the same me (plus some scars from chickenpox-i got silly and scratched my face)
-i wonder how PPIM's doing but judging by the conversations i heard we'll have the usrah, terawikh and plus maybe an arabic language class for beginners (that could be me..so now i'm not even a beginner yet..a dreamer perhaps?hehe)
-thankfully our lectures start later than last year(2 o'clock),because some classes end at 1.that means some like us who finish at 12 can go to the mosque every friday (zuhr's around 1) and still go for lectures(though a bit late sometimes)

more or less that's it.my daily life in general. some targets i'm aiming for are finishing my 'to do' list (things like buy tea for kakak noni-sori aa tak sempat nak beli lagik), try juggling my time between rest,recreation, and responsibilities with more skill and not letting everything fall down on me (even a 22 year old can still have problems like this,i'd thought that the perfected 5th-year-me would be this smart guy with perfect self control and efficient time management,well actually my time is still handled quite well now..but i think it can be better if i try really hard)
well, who hasnt got problems,i'm just really really thankful i dont have bigger problems..sometimes compared to others my problems are just like hiccups to somatic diseases.and as such i will let myself perceive it,insyaAllah.alhamdulillah for easing my way..

malaysian (homemade/partly homemade) food

sushi: made by me,later repaired by mom
..made from a sushi kit bought in russia..gmi and shuk used to make it(sedap plak tu). the ingredients were a bit unorthodox as i put my morning sausages into them (well including some cucumber)
kakak noni tak sempat makan,tapi adik pun tak mkn byk-hehe..tak jadik sgt









my breakfast- err,sometimes.usually it's sandwiches, nasi lemak etc.still these are the foodstuffs i wont get for at least another 10 months- sausages(with cheese fillings), keropok lekor& sos cili, hash browns

















sambal sotong- one of many of mom's cookings..it's just one example,but i'll miss them all















blueberry cheese cake with tiger biscuits as base- made by kakak noni n mak,sedaap















'sambal tempoyak and cheese' toast
my big sis's very own recipe-original tuu..
memang die suke dari dulu..betul tak?








i thank God for a loving family and another chance for me to taste these great food before i go back to Russia. InsyaAllah i'll be back for more,hehe

(these were those few times when i managed to get a photo before my mind stops thinking and the eating instinct takes over )

final week of family& food in malaysia

what would those standing right under these clouds see?a dark, low cloud covering the sky? but as i stand here, i see beauty...
they are right,but i'm not wrong.
it's just another perspective








last week i went to kk for about a ..er ..week.
i stayed at a hotel(best woo) with my father who's having a meeting there..
i didnt do much (originally i thought of going there for only 2 days) because i kept postponing my going back, as i met more friends there. the 1st few days was spent jalan-jalan,and learning a bit of the Sabah dialect(the LC employees were a great help) A friend of my father's offerred me at the last minute to meet his children and go out with them. strangely enough everything worked well for me, as his son,Nasa was friendly n quite fun to be with, while the sister,nurul ain is 2nd year KSMU student and coincidentally a roomate of the student who had done practicals at the same time and hospital with me- so we had some things in common. i met some more kursk students the night i met them,as the family treated me to dinner(thanks!)- to keep it short the few days i met them was enough for me to say we got quite close.insyaAllah the friendship will last and i wont forget to contact them again the next time i got to kk,or whenever we meet!
i had to go back earlier (they invited me to stay longer) because my sisters were coming that saturday!we had some fun ,but it's shortlived- my kakak went back today,and my youngest sis will be back this saturday,then i will follow suit this monday..huhu
i have less than a week now..wheee
but the past 6 weeks have been fun..and full, i hope.it sure is not a waste,whether i was moving around in kl, or stayingin my house for a week with my family,insyaAllah,it wont be.
