AND THAT'S HOW I PROCRASTINATED USED WASTED MY TIME TODAY

The VeCtOR

zyryx vector#18

This is bad. The exams session starts on the 4th, the scramble for zachot signatures and attestatsias starts right about now, the study group notes' deadline is next monday, and I spent my last 3-4 days making this vector of myself. Yeah, it's cool. It's awesome! I got a bit too excited doing it - and now i'm gonna pay.
By the way how's the vector?
I recently read about it somewhere (yeah, i procrastinate a lot), and tried it myself (yup, one procrastination leads to another)
I made about 18 variations (mostly it's the nose and the shadows), made a lot of mistakes at first, and didnt even finish the hair part well enough, but it can pass off as a vector- at least I think so- and i really should get back to work...real med-student work



Like I said,I spent a lot of time doing it, eventhough I could either
1. Search for a program to do this
2. Find a photoshop which could do this for me; or finally
3. Dont do this at all and concentrate on your exams demmit.
But yeah, it gets some pressure off (like doing hobbies& blogging ), and the feeling of accomplishing something (no matter how pointless or time-consuming) is indescribable (which is contradictory, since using the word 'indescribable' is already a description in itself, and probably an exaggerated expression now and most of the time).

To my sister nur ain dont follow this part of your brother, study well, doa n solat hajat banyak2, and good luck for your SPM this year. You'll do fine, insyaAllah


the early, ugly stages, quite a messy start, some who watched got quite a good laugh..huh



PS: bye bye extra pics

stray thoughts about food again

I was eating in the (then)recently opened culinary behind our university. As usual our lunch here would consist of bread, or some other flour-based food like piroshki,buns, pies and cakes.

this is a khachapuri with cheese = one of my favourites (among cheap, easy-to-eat Russian food)
Our conversation was suddenly turned to what happens with the extra food the culinary here, or any other places selling food commercially when the day ends. There must be a lot of it. The most logical thing to do with them, especially those which cant be kept for long, seems to be to throw them away.
Somehow my thoughts wandered to the poor people i met here in russia, who live on the streets, and generally about these people without a place to live. It seems paradoxical, that these restaurants and other food establishments throw away their food every day while others (i dont know how much of this is true, maybe it isnt,but The pessimistic part of me says it's unlikely that it's not)
Well, maybe not all the time. My friends tell me of their friends who work in kfc or some other food franchise, who after work bring the extra food to their family&friends.
But then, if everyone could get the food you for free at the end of the day, wouldnt that be bad for business, right? Maybe the restaurants could send those food somewhere a bit further away,where people need food.
Maybe somebody could buy these food at a lower price at the end of the day from these restaurants,or even get paid for taking them, if not given for free - a company made solely for the purpose of avoiding waste of food that i imagined.
Thinking about this, i remembered that cartoon episode of Yakitate in which the main character re-cooked his friends' bread (he works in a bakery) and gives them for free. Think about the barakah he gets from such deeds, if it was real,hehemy orange shirt,got nothin ta du wif duh entry

the 100th

It's been so long since I last entered anything in here, I don’t think it’s appropriate anymore to ask forgiveness, or tell about that long past Moscow games, my dad’s birthday or anything past in my absence on my own blog. or maybe i should, i guess anyone who actually do check this blog must have been bored already, waiting in vain for me to add something.
In a way, that's much better, since I don’t like feeling obligated to write everything here, even if I can write anything.
I’ve been reading other blogs, occasionally adding a comment or 2, but mostly I’ve been silent.
i made some projects of my own on the way, maybe I can say that I did everything but update here..no I’m not closing down this blog, but probably I wont be blogging much either, since the exam sessions are in about 2 weeks time. And I wont have much time.
Btw, I’ll add some articles I wrote but didn’t publish
This might sound lame and is just another excuse, but I didn’t post them because I felt that I shouldn’t post anything until I finished all my unfinished work (patient reports, projects)
It would be too early and too much to post them just yet, insyaAllah in the next following days I’ll post them. In the meantime, please enjoy these pics of Volgograd’s spring I took and edited. I’ll add some more in the upcoming entries, insyaAllah, and I’ll prove to u that this is not a ‘janji kosong’
Please consider the 100th post not as an end, but as a new start..

My Quotas

I wonder why it would be so hard to make quotas; don’t we do them all the time?
Let’s take my case for example.

-Internet time quota:
limited to 1 card per month (around 200- 300rbls, especially since the rates increase the past few weeks)

-monthly expenditure quota:
everyone has this, unless they're freakingly rich, or have freakingly rich and maybe overly generous benefactors, so I’m not going to elaborate more.

- Daily/weekly expenditure quota:
one of those I bend a lot. Depends on my wallet (the one in my pocket, not the metaphorically speaking one u idi- ehem, the next one..)

- meeting people quotas:
after some time, I’ll get tired, so this is an energy-saving measure. This quota is a subconsciously active one. It might be different for different people. I even have a friendliness quota with girls, and other human types, even online…the only ones I don’t have these quotas with are animals and me. I think I treasure my quality time alone.

- Talk quota:
I don’t know if everyone has this. I give my mouth limits quantitatively and qualitatively. I can still only guess the maximum limit, but I try only to talk when it feels right. meaning I’m learning to keep my mouth shut.

-sleep quota:
kinda the other way around, it’s the amount of least sleep hours I need. I’ve been trying to get this one straight (and less), but it’s an uphill battle with my sleeping habits

- Food quota:
I do have it, how else can I get my expenditure quota right, then? Actually, there is not much of it, because it’s a substantially large quota, because I eat a lot, and it can grow depending on my lifestyle.

- Exercise and rest quota:
ok this sounds like bull, and p
artly like a community service message phrase, but I try them too.

- work quota:
if you want proof that I am the opposite of the traditional workaholic, here it is, I try to make it only just enough so that I can get by without too many complaints.
My work motto seems to be “why procrastinate tomorrow what you can procrastinate today”. Man I need motivation.

- My fun-and-games or time-wasting quota:
you’ve been a bad boy zyryx…very,very bad...

- My hobbies quota: again this one works mostly like the work and sleep quotas. I must do my least number of hobby stuff in a minimum number of times allotted. In other words whenever I have the time I must make my decision either to do them or go to sleep, chat etc.

- my ibadah quota- again, no upper limits,just lower ones

- my sin quotas : i'm trying to nail it to zero, but think about what i should do about my visual quota, hearing quota and others that i might not know of...insyaAllah i'll try to in every breath i still have

Sometimes I can be mad enough to break these normally human quotas (I believe these quotas are subconsciously hot-wired to our brains o that we can function normally), and there u’ll see a dysbalance in my character, like some nights when I don’t sleep, which is a cause for me to sleep more on Sundays.

I’m trying to be a good muslim, and I’m trying not to be a spendthrift at anything, but not too penny-pinching either, so I made these quotas with both upper and lower limits, as a means of achieving what they call “wasatiah” in my life, insyaAllah.
or maybe i'm just another wannabe control-freak for some

p.s. – rather than quotas, you might consider this more as aims, but the word quota seems to pop in my mind somehow, probably from the last comment I read here in my blog. Whatever.

End of April means...

- The games are coming up!
- More holidays! Less lectures! Yeay!
