3rd week?

i felt as if it's been longer,


my surgical cycle/rotation finished last week with some work unfinished..hehe.. my patient reports will be sent later, i guess..
ete 'doing his thing' during a topic on surgical proctology, yeah it's a DRE

we started our children's surgery cycle. that's all i'm gonna say :P








this 26th, the juniors are coming...and i'd be the happiest junior if i were one of them, they've got wonderful seniors over there coming up with a drive to sell their old clothes cheap (most of the proceeds go to the student body and local mosque, and probably it'll be very cheap), and as usual they'll be greeted with a hearty and warm welcome (well, maybe some 'collateral damage' victims might not), a home-cooked dinner, and insyaAllah another meal for their first sahur, an orientation will be done too, telling them how to find food, classes, communication services, there's even a buddy system, with the list already full before it reached my hands(well, not to say i would have joined, though i might..)..how can anyone top that?..the same will probably be done with the private students coming sometime later..and the orientation would usually be done after all have arrived..


speaking about the collaterally damaged peeps just now, i hope they wont really get kicked out if they dont really want to..insyaAllah..there should be some space..





this 22nd marks the start of our third league, this time organized by Shuk, someone who is not part of any team, nor plays any football, but is a great choice for an organizer anyway. maybe it's better we started early..the days are getting colder (and the rain makes it even chillier), but i like it in the mornings..


2 days ago we didnt have water (the annual plumbing to prepare for winter), and my apartment had a temporary blackout on friday so my batch didnt meet up like we were supposed to for tarawikh...but somehow the next day we took our chances and played football, with the optimistic thinking that the water would be back by that night, which didnt..and we played again the next day..i've played football for 3 consecutive days (I even missed my pre-fajr sahur the 2nd day).. my worn-down boots became irreparably unsuitable for playing, and i had to buy a new pair..sigh..i can see it now... ^$^ ^$^


^$^ ^$^


^$^


bye-bye money...u're free now, my pocket's sweaty and stuffy anyway


haha

a very short dedication

tidbits to fill some space

I've been dozing off in my class nearly everyday since we started surgery. I think it's the atmosphere..since I doze off during that long final hour, around 1pm, sitting and listening to the lecturer and classmates discussing the day's topic. Yeah2 it's not right. But I do wake up when it's my turn to explain...It's been boring without the internet. You'd think I'd be more productive since my few hours on the net would be less..but no I'm not.Ok, so what happens to those extra hours i get from all of this..hmm..cleaning, rearranging stuff, reading, registering, shopping for much needed stuff, sleeping..and did I mention about the mess we're living in with a broken fridge, a leaky toilet(we cant use the flush and need cement for the repairs), a glassless balcony door(gotta fix that before winter), and a really really dirty kitchen with yet another leaking faucet. To date none of these have been fixed yet. If I were to tell you about what we did, the list would have been longer, but why bore you some more with those little tidbits of my life.

Events past:
- the deputy minister of Kementrian Penerangan Malaysia came to say hi and give the 300 or so of us a dinner. unfortunately less than a hundred came (which meant food was wasted, eventhough we sent most of them to the hostels afterwards, and as the food was for everyone, that's a lot of tasty food spoiled for one lazy evening)

- we (my batch) celebrated our last after-hols massive birthday combo for 10 people namely ete, falah, lin, yik, aruna, bear, wen im, farah, beatrice and suraya. Nicely celebrated, while eating we watched an old home-made movie about our first combo bday celebration, the day before everyone moved out of the hostel, really funny (everyone was different, except my clothes,hehe)

- the 6th course have decided to create a committee (is this spelled correctly?) for our graduation this year- to go out with a bang i guess

upcoming events:

- Selamat menyambut bulan Ramadhan this thursday 13 sept, for everyone!

- the volgogradians are crazy enough to continue our football tournament sometime this month! "better hungry than cold" i guess. Right now, it's really fun playing football in the evening after a long day of class and lecture once in a while

ps: we cleaned the kitchen! bday n the visit's photos later if i have time, and if anyone actually wants to see them anyway

gtg sleep...my lecturer's gonna kill me if I keep this up

berkelana

not one of my better works- in embankment station late at night in London



i'm back in volgograd for my final year..alhamdulillah we've survived until now..



my vacation was great



i recommend joining the kelanaconvoy tour for anyone wishing to tour Europe, with everything planned out nicely, and good food, and not a single night spent sleeping in the bus.
for us it was a pleasant journey, we almost managed to go everywhere we wanted (and what we didnt get was, for me was covered for by the precious memories we had in the places we did manage to go to), and all of us had a really great time. obviously there are unforgettable moments we'll always cherish, and hopefully the friendships created during the trip will last, insyaAllah



my camera recorded about two thousand pictures and videos, add about 8 other cameras and we have whole gigabytes shared together. I'll try my best to upload at least the best of my pics, and maybe some of the betters ones from the other cams


ps: due to some technical problems this post wasnt published as intended, i havent been online for quite some time now- about a week, due to some problems with my internet card.insyaAllah I and my housemates are setting up a better internet service for our home, but it'll take about 2 weeks, in the meantime, I wont be able to do much, maybe i'll buy another internet card.

till then..c ya
