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.
