hohoho...
heya bloggie...
no, its not wat u think, i dint go bungee jumping or skysurfing here to get an adrenaline high... been so bz lately to update u on it... but my batch-mates n I actually performed on stage last nite!!!! HOHOHO~ (so exxxcited~)
yep tats wat i said.... ON STAGE... hehehe.
might not seem like anything to the ordinary person.. but it was a big leap of faith on my behalf.. considering the last time i was on stage performing was mayb in primary school (choral speaking.. cian).. and not counting going on stage to receive awards. But still i got over the stage fright! uhuh~~ yea~
We danced a bit hip-hop-py to Kat De Luna's song.. Whine up... loved the song.... up until i had to hear it being played all the time...
now its like... Bluekk~! sick o it..
The dance moves were simple but hot coz we only prepared for it last week over the weekends.. the we dint practice the whole week due to major exams n some of our batch mates lived in apartments n couldnt stay over... up until friday nite.. we were able to get together again to brush up... then saturday morning we had a full rehearsel wit all performances in the hall.. n on the same day in the evening.. we were already performing! KUDOS to US!!
n kudos to me! for not getting the usual butterflies in my stomach... in fact i was comforting some of my friends to not be nervous.. when in fact my cold clammy hands gave away tat i was as nervous as they were... it really was because before our performance was 2 hours after 3 other faculties had performed... all the jumping n strecthing n their costumes....o my... the bling2 of the costumes (we wore a singlet, jeans n a cap by the way..huhu and of all the colours of the rainbow) .. of the russian performances added intense pressure... but wat the heck..
While on stage however we had to smile while performing.. n i cud actualy feel my face cram up :P... dunno why i felt my lips tingling... too much adrenaline there i guess haha.. the malaysians who came tho were so supportive.. n the russians actualy enjoyed the show because it was a hip-hop song which they were familiar with... fuh.
On the way home we had to walk back.. so the whole batch of us (including guys of course.. bodyguards hehe) walked together.. n i cud tell everyone was still on a high coz we were singing MCR songs on the way... n abraham n sherman started racing to the bus stop.. lotsa pent up energy there hehe. Must have overdone the racing tho coz suddenly abraham fell flat on his face.. n all of us started laughing like hyenas ^_^...
All in all it was a great nite... plenty of pics hehehe.... but there not wit me yet... will upload when i have the time. (janji2 kosong ku...~ ekekekeke)
^_^ okie tata for now bloggiee~
o btw.. made new russian friends... the Mc's of the event were so nice.. n preety~ uhuh~
tata for now~

7.8 degrees!!
dear bloggie~
omg.. it was 7.8degrees outside today!! its getting colder by the day here.. Lucky for me, the package of clothing that my parents sent me.. just arrived yesterday! yuhuu~! have 2 new jackets now... courier service rocks! only took about six days.. n they sent the package to my door.. no need for me to pick it up at the post office.
Wore my red jacket today which was so preety... but unfortunately i misjudged the weather. It looked sunny, but the wind was like ice... u can really tell the difference of a mere 3degrees. It was only 10degrees yesterday... will have to wear my long johns from now on..
Today was a really packed n hectic day.. had class from 9am to 5pm.. wit only half hour breaks in between... n i ate 3 pastrys today.. haha.. its all they have really.. pastrys pastrys n more pastrys.. n kebabs.. but im more to pastrys..
Neway i had 2 control exams today... back 2 back... inorganic chem n biophysics... i dont know if i did well.. doesnt feel like it. Chem is my weakest sub n biophysics... o biophysics.. how do they expect us to do well when the lec just tells us to read the chapter n answer when we come to class... crazy miss marina... barbiedoll face the seniors call her.. she's really pretty by the way.. but its wasted on a face tat rarely smiles... seniors tells us, tats just the way she is.. never teaches a thing.. just answer questions trown at her n leaves the rest to us... huahua~~ suffer la biophysics if like this.. thnk God im not the only blur person out there.. all my group mates are on the same boat as i am..
As for russian... hehe... getting exciting now... moving on to learning new words n sentences instead of reciting the same ol' russki alfabit all over again...
(yep.. tats just about the most exciting thing today... ekekeke)
But its a good thing we're having these russian classes everyday... keeps our mind fresh on wat we've learned so far.. n i've even gone so far as to understanding wat some people say while in the elevator sumtimes... hohoho... cant wait till i can finally speak so tat i may b able to order food in a Zhars Pizza place in front of our uni instead of eating more of those damm pastries... but until then...
*pointing at yummy pastry to lady behind counter*
*getting the irritated look* 'shto?' (wat?)
'adin' 'adin' (one one)
*taking out my calculator so irritated lady could press out the price of pastry*
~sigh~ will i ever learn the language~~
hehehe
well...
da-svi-dan-ya bloggie...
till my next post...

Homesickkk~
8 October
Dear bloggie… its now 11.45pm and im sitting here at my desk in front of my laptop.. suddenly feeling so homesick I just had to pour it out somewhere.
In 15 mins I will have been here exactly 3 weeks.. almost a month.. Time sure moved really fast lately n I hope it will keep moving as fast as it did. Into 2 months… 3 months… n finally fast-forwarded to about 4 n a half months into the future which is when we’ll be having our winter hols. Hopefully then my parents will allow me to come home… I know they want me to spend the hols mayb traveling since they have special student packages here if u dont want to spend ur nites here in kursk freezing ur tushies off during the coldest of winters. Thought about the tempting student package to go to Egypt at only USD300… u get to stay at a 4 star hotel for 1 week… meals n transportation provided… wuhuu~ so very tempting…
But I don’t think it measures up to the quality time I could have at home in KK n at my kampungs with my grandparents… I mean the 1st year students hols are about a month.. n after that 1 exciting week in egypt… wat am I gonna do for the other 3 weeks?
If I were at home however, I cud spend CNY at kg Kuala Penyu with my family, relatives n cousins.. hoho~ n its gonna be my kong2’s first CNY since his recovered from illness. And then my nenek in keningau is also very fragile… I don’t get to see them a lot anyway.
Neway wats really getting at me is the missing-my-family part… Dint feel this way for 3 weeks n just suddenly popped out while I was eating dinner. Mayb the whole excitement of being in Russia has finally weared off… And im really extra close to my mum.. so I guess hearing her voice over skype just now made me wanna tear up. Im tearing up as im writing this as well… damm it joy.. u know im tearing over u too. But lucky for me I have 2 roomates here n I sure as hell don’t wanna seem like a crybaby all of a sudden. So this surge of emotion will just have to wait till im all alone. I know when I get it out im gonna feel much better… Wats more im missing my swakian devil… Damm… hope this homesickness passes over soon.
Homesick as ever for my mama e papa e brat e droogk e awen~~ (tetau betul ka nda sentence dia tue hehe…)
Haih windunyaaa sabah tanah airku…..

hohoho~ update2~
hoho bloggie~
i noticed i named my last blog title sumthing bout skype n dint write anything about skype.. lol.
neways skype rules! was able to talk wit my parents over the microfon n it was very clear n very very affordable hehe.. a 45min chat took up about 30++ rubles (about rm5) which is better than talking with an idd call card over the phone for 60 mins for 170 rubles..
tasted the chicken mutton curry by the way n even tho i dont really eat hot curry, it reminds me of msia n tats wat matters most.. just tasted it tho.. waiting for my frens to finish watever it is they're doing so tat we can sit down n eat together.. miss sitting down to dinner with my parents.. huhu~
Neways, i've been to church twice here.. the first was an english mass for students.. fuh~ tat was emotional.. especially when they sang Ave Maria... reminded me of mass in Sacred Heart with my family.. churches get at me i guess. Dint feel tearful at all since i arrived here till i stepped into the only RC church in Kursk... which is by the way very beautiful but quite small though. And it is so silent inside tat u cud hear a pin drop. Neway last week's mass was in russian.. dint get much of it tho.. except for the Gospel which they also read in english.
Well, tats all for now..
classes have started already too..
but i'll tell u about that in my next post..

wuhuuu~ LOVE SKYPE~
hiya bloggie!
finally found out the prob to not being able to on9 on msn n my blog... it was because of my kaspersky.. yg slama ni ku agung2kan... dia pla yg kasi block my program. So i had to delete my kaspersky n use a not-so-well-known antivirus... o well..
Neway, im glad i can enter my blog but Wtf... why are all these russian words popping out as icons(duh~).. but have no idea which button to press to get to the 'write blog' page.. got a bit lucky n found it.. but now im gonna have to guess which button is the 'post blog' button.. haih~ ada2 ja..
Well today i just got back from Rinak (thats how they say it.. it means market by the way) from a bit of winter shopping.. its a long way to go winter.. but just thought i shud get my shopping done with.. while the seniors are still in the mood to take us out hehe.. There's one thing i wud like to compliment the russians about.. they have a great sense of style.. Uhuh yea~ Cantik gila babun la benda2 d pasar dia tue.. N all for a reasonable price.. the boots n jackets n shoes n bags.. hoho.. rambang mata trus nie.. dint know which to chose. Thank God i only brought enuf money for a reasonable jacket.. n nasib la i dont know russian yet. So i wasnt really in the mood to get the i-will-now-ignore-you look from russians who get irritated when u dont know their language. So ikut2 my seniors only la lyk a shadow hehe.
Well while we were picking tru jumpers.. the old lady at the counter started asking where we were from.. seniors said msia but she pointed at me and said she thought i was from japan.. uuu~ never gotten that one before... *hess2* she was sweet trying out her english on us.. saying 'how much?' which was wat we shud have been asking her ekeke.. for tat smile n japanesee thingee... i'll buy a jumper from u i thought haha.
Then after much shopping.. we went back home.. im growing fond of the busses here. Mayb coz the busses are heated hahaha~ when we step into a bus, it helps warm our tusshies from the cold weather we endured while waiting for the goverment busses to arrive (we wait for these buses coz we bought a BAS PASS.. Uhuh yea~) haha.. neways it helps when we dont have small change wit us.. i hate carrying small change now by the way... the purse my mum gave me.. which she waris-ed to me has a prob with the coin zipper... my coins will be flying all over the place whenever i hold it the wrong way.. damm embarassing sometimes haha..
Huha... oya n i dont hav to cook tday.. ordered chicket mutton curry from someone in this hostel n he's just delivered it.. yahoo~
imma eat it now.. ^_^
