3. Ryte now im having my finals... ah! the stress! kill bio kill!! finally finish my bio n latin paper.. next paper is on friday.. inorganic chem... wish me luck! but i kinda feel i've ran out of steam for the exams... went full charged on bio last monday.. n i havent recovered since.. imagine reading parasitology,genetics,evolution n cytology in a span of 4 days... i know its all last minit.. but we finished syllabus just a a week before finals.. wth~

4. Im coming HOME soon! 17th july is my flight from Domodedova airport in moscow... 7 hour flight...then transitting in Dubai for 5 hours.. SHOP till i DROP.. then continue our 7 hour flight to lovely Malaysia...reaching on the 18th at 9:30pm...

huhahuha.. got so much to say... so little time.. gotta study2 now... fridays exams!

Netball JERSEY!~ yeppe~

wuhuuu~

i just got my netball jersey last nite during training~ its so kewl~ lol.... it has my name n number n everything~

it says at the back... 'chriSty' num '15' ^_^.....
n on the front it says... KSMU netball 0'8...
n it fits purrrfectly ^_^
dunno why im telling u all this in detail when i can actually post up a pic... but i've tried posting.. n it starts giving me problems.. sum popup comes out in russian.. darn.. not to worry tho.. i'll find a way ^_^

the jersys not as high quality as u can get in msia... (msia is CHEAP) lol.. but its still amazing how we managed to find a jersey and get it printed so last minute... next week we're going to Nizny already!

huhahuha~ im sooo nervous.. lol i dunno why.. but i just wanna win ryte now...
wanna get that GOLD!
even our captains been saying its the best present we can give her before she graduates~
so tat means.. WE MUST WE MUST!!
coz i know the teams really good too.. n we have a big chance in getting it..

like last nites practice was rather dissapointing... at the start of the game we were all over the place.. buttery-fingers here... wrong passes there... n our sharp shooters we missing so many shots... we lost the first game..

but after the break n some motivational words from our captain... we manage to win the 2nd, 3rd n 4th halves...
owh~ did i mention we play againts guys??
lol.. the guys here act have their own team.. the BLUE team.. lol..
its really fun playing againts them.. n least its no catfight.. they play with strategy n speed... them jumping like monkeys makes us wanna jump like monkeys..
but really it was so tiring in the beginning.. now i feel everyones gotten used to the fast game...
altho the guys keep on warning me to put my 'game face' on... u know~ the one that makes mirrors crack n rodents scatter off to safety... they say i dont look scary at all... more like constipated when i try the game face... ekeke..~ siot~

neways the seniors keep warning me tat the actual game is much rougher.. other uni's just dont seem to keep the no-body contact rule.. so i'll be expecting bumps n bruises later on..

hehe well nuf bout netball.. todays Victory day! in russia...
we're suppose to have a Sabahan BBQ today but nobody's confirmed it...
damm im hunnngry~

oyea oyea~! last nite was Braham's bday!
omg~ he btul2 kena the worst wacking @ bashing i've ever seen... imagine this..

after blowing out the candles n the suaping of cake..
our frens took him into the hall... the started tying him up n trowing eggs at him..
then warm water... then cold... then cake.. the flour...
but worst of it all was this basin of disgusting, rotting, foods n liquids which they have been saving for special occasions such as these..
the smell was sooooo bad... i decided to stay out of the 'war' n become a 'neutral' party instead in the kitchen... doing wat i do best.. eat~ lol...
i cant believe wat they told me.. they had a molding chicken, rotten eggs, a smelly shoe.. n the best part.. a used condom!! all mixed to make the special soap for abraham... omy.. it was crazy~ pity him la...
hahahahahaa~
er.. i mean.. huhuhuhuhu~

neway overall it was fun...
lol.. well till my next post~

Going downhill...

heya bloggie~

havent been having the nicest of day lately.. altho before this we had a Garden Gala dinner at church.. which i will write about when i get the pics to them with..

i just failed my bio major.. damm.. hate hate hate! parasitology.... who cares wat size those worms are, what kinda shape their eyes are, how many eggs they lay... putui~ altho i cant expect to pass when all i had was 1 nite of craming all 4 phylums into my tiny brain... but still! i have to do atravodka next week for it... just wished i got it over with so i woulnd't ever have to think about it agen till my finals..

darn.. trw i have a biophysics major sumore... another 5 topics on electricity to study... huhuhuhu~ its like my brains getting tired of info n wont receive anymore God-damm formulas they come up with..

i usually wont complain when it comes to studying.. coz it is medicine after all.. but when u have 6 majors in a row.. in 1 week... u kinda feel like vomitting out all the info.. coz its getting u stressed out n become a nun instead.. no stressing out there..~ lol~

and its messing up my sleeping pattern.. i wake up at the weirdest times n feel refreshed.. hurm......

argh...

neway i talked with my fam tru skype last nite.. n marky said to study with a smile.. it automatically takes the stress away.. "study with a happy feeling" he said... i think imma try it tonite...
altho smiling from one ear to another reading anatomy might freak my roomate out.. especially now tat we're on the male genital organs chapter.. kakaka~

neway.. got ruski class after this...
need to memorise the names of body parts for todays lesson..
o! n i know wat a dimple is now is russian... its 'YUMACHKA'~
sound so much cuter in eng.. lol

tata for now bloggie~

bestest bday!!

dear bloggie! last 15th april was one of the bestest bdays ever!

altho 15.04.2007 still ranks as my number 1 ultimate best bday hehe...

but it was sooooo wonderful.. i dint write it in my blog on the day it happened tho.. coz i've been sooo bz lately. not to mention next week i have 5 major exams.. S**t.. its crazy..

but neway.. i just gotta tell u bout my 20th bday...

first it all started at 12 o'clock midnite.. as always.. friends in my hostel will come celebrate birthdays in the kitchen.. with the usual bday cake n estrella(keropok name) n coke... then followed by the throwing of tepung n eggs n everything..
fuh~
made me neves to celebrate my bday... the food fight turns u into a... urm.. somting like a homemade pizza... eggs n flour all in ur hair n shirt..
why dont u just stuff me in oven then huh~ lol...
well after the party... my groupmates gave me my present..
its a lovely dress.. which i soooooo luv ryte now... cant wait to finally wear it somewhere.. darn.. definitely bringin tat dress home later in july...

neway the next day went like any other school day... i tot at first there wud be netball training that evening..
but guess wat!!
they canceled the training coz it was too cold outside.. n decided to give me a surprise bday instead.. i was touched..
there really like my own family now... they'r so friendly n make me feel apart of the team..
eventho im a new member n all.. but i feel comfortable around them.. which makes me so happy..

haih2 *sigh*
wat a wonderfull day dat was...

well till my next blog bloggie...
gotta study now..
tataaaa~

NIZNI GAMES 2008! here i come~

*11th April 2008*
heya bloggie~ im posting an old blog on a newer date hehe...

just got back from netball practice.. was so fun n tiring at the same time... well not exactly but mayb it bcoz i lack stamina.. or mayb because we dint have enuf people to play just now.. so instead of guarding my partner only .. i had to guard 2 peeps instead.. one the WD n the other the GK... imagine me running up the court.. n then down agen into the D to guard the GK!.. huhahuha's more like it..
control2 ja tadi so tat i dont look to exhausted haha..

neway.. GOOD NEWS! ngeh3... as u cud have guessed from my title..

im going to NIZNI! yeepee~

guess all those hours of going to netball practices were worth it after all..
act i just went to sports coz i dont wanna end up a fat ol' lazy pig.. couped up im room all the time.. seriously.. if u dont get up n socialize around here.. u wouldnt have a life.. studying is not everything people~ i know we're all future docs n everything... but dont tell me all mdic students shud do is just study2 n study their arses off~

well there are a lotta people like tat here.. they wake up at 5am every morning to get an extra 3 hours off study revision.. go to class from 9am-5pm.. come back.. eat rolten (russia's version of maggie) coz they dont wanna waste time cooking sum nutritious meal.. naa'ah.. those few precious minutes cud be used absorb more n more info.. continue studying into the wee hours~ then get only a few hours of slip... then its the same routine over n over again... YIKES~ talk about being zombie-like... (n im not exageratting.. except the rolten part.. they cook good eggs i guess.. sometimes~ lol)

fuh~ i pray tat never happens to me... i do wish to be as hardworking as them.. but not until it results in me looking like a sick patient myself.. (touchwood)

nwy, back to topic~

so we finished netball practice just now.. n i was about to go home.. but the seniors told me to stay back.. i tot she wanted to tell me about the next practice or sumting.. but huuurrrmm...
everyone else they(as in seniors who i know are in the uni team) let everyone else go back home.. so we sat in a circle in the middle of the court.. n the team captain asked me..

Punida: christina... i want to ask u if u would like to play for the nizni games?
*CAK* (okieeee... act kewl chrissy...)
Christina: hurm.. when izzit?
Punida: in mei.. around 15th.. but we might leave on 14th.. bez atra (meaning = no need to ganti2 class)
*yaa... come la..* (i heard someone say)
Christina: hehe.. okieeee la.. sure
*chaka chaka chaka yayy yayy* chearing n clapping of the team.. (i made it sound like a chu-chu train wakaka)
Punida: Good! so now we have a new member to our team.. introduce urselfs everyone.. this is mala, hani, etc..etc..
i knew them all already act... but guess its a formality.. lol
Punida: so the syarat2 to this team is tat...
omy.. ada syarat2 lagi tue..
Punida: u must be able to EAT a lot n talk like a mulut murai! ahaha..
then u know wat i said...
Christina: omg... this is where i belong! ahaha..

tat got the team in fits of laughter...
aduh~ i cant believe i said tat... malunya... hahaha this is where i belong lagi tue... mcm babi ja my reaction when i heard about makan...

hee... neway.. it was nice to be accepted into a team now... no wonder before this in every netball practice.. i was taught a lot.. they would stop the game halfway to teach me a new way of guarding.. or give advice on someting.. (damm blur jg wei.. all the tactics n strategies.. before tis was main suka ati ja hehe)
i tot it was coz i was playing sucky.. but i guess they saw i could improve... ^_^ tx for the confidence guys~

but the downside to this whole thing is the practice has increased to 3 times a week.. n with my hectic schedule.. im gonna be so tired i guess.. haih2... but watever...
dad told me to just go nizni if i got picked anyway.. experience org bilang.. hark hark..

i'll work a way for it in my schedule.. im sure i can still maintain my grades.. hopefully.. *fingers crossed*

will pray extra hard tonite.. hehe..
tats all for now bloggie..
tata~
mmmuaks~

Alive n kicking!~

yuhuuuu~ bloggie..

omg... its been so damm long since i posted an entry here... sowie readers (i doubt any tho.. lol ^_^)

neway i actually remembered about my blog agen why i saw a groupmate of mine start her own blog... spent hours brainstorming for my url.. knew it was something catchy like.. err.. chrissy.. cherry.. crossy.. sumthing like tat.. but when i finally remembered the name agen... guess wat~ i cudnt log in! forgot my pasword too.. huhuuu~ gave up then n there... but 2 weeks later.. i magically remembered!! *sigh*...

well tat was interesting.. haha~

been soooooo many months since i blogged in ya bloggie~

so many things have happened~ went back to malaysia during winter hols.. *answered prayers* (refer to blog on how i wanted to go homey2) hehehe.. im such a mummy's girl.. n daddy's girl... overall im just plain MANJA!! when it comes to family...

neway... going back was really an adventure... but i'll tell u bout it in my next blog.. when i have more time on my hands... now im typing while my roomate gets ready.. so tat we can be on our way to russian class.. hehehe.. got something much3 more interesting to blog about here...
but it happened like a week ago.. or was it 2? hmm.. watever.. yg penting.. i got over a fear of mine.. *hik hik so proud* ^_^

so it all started one sunny day.... (lol)
typical storyline...
no no!
its was a stormy nite... the wind was howling... trees were shaking~~ uuuu~ (im exagerating)
harhar~
actuuuuallllyyy.... it was just a normal saturday nite... we went for a rosary prayer gathering in the 5th hostel.. it was a gathering dedicated to the deceased fathers of three of my RC seniors... its was really sad but everybody manage to lighten up the mood... n scary when i think about it... wat was happening? all 3 fathers gone at around the same time... n to think.. the seniors were already about to graduate... really got me thinking about my 6 years here.. wat if something happens back home... i woulndt be able to take it... it got me praying hard tat nite... for the deceased fathers... n for my own family... may God be with you always... keep you in good health, and in His protection always...

well after the rosary prayer.. we had a FEAST! my goodness.. my seniors can really cook.. all the macaroni n pizza n sheperd's pie.. i was flabbergasted (lol! who uses this word!).. all i knew was tat Kelvin's(the CHEF) macaroni was a blessing from heaven hahaha.. after all the eating.. we had a karaoke competition just for fun... nobody could leave until they sang a song.. me n stacy decided to sing 'More Than Words'... we even voluntered to sing earlier coz we needed to get back home... but who knew God's Plan...
all of a sudden the seniors were saying.. u shud become a Psalmist... which i heard as Samist (i tot they were making fun telling me to become a Sami.. ciss~) n of course.. after their explanation of me needing to go in front of the church to sing verses of the bible.. i began shaking in the knees~!! i told them.. no i cant.. i cant i said.. but nobody seemed to be on my side in this... huaaa~ i even said to them..

me: hey! i cant! i'd turn as red as a tomato if i were to sing in front... i have stage fright~
max: God wont sumpah u into a vegetable if u sing terribly...
sumone i cant remember: wat about the times u danced on stage with a sari on??
sumone i'd like to cekik! : yeaaa.. no need to sexay2 here (doing gestures with his shirt up his stomach)... just show ur voice...

n tat was tat...
it was a paksa-rela situation i couldnt wriggle myself out of..
so i decided to just practice for a couple a times tat nite..

the next day.. i couldnt concertrate on anything except the time... another 3 hours till mass... now 2... now 1... huhu 59mins 99 secs to go... my hands were cold n scaly... i just prayed i wouldnt mess up...

n guess wat..~ once i entered the church.. i felt strangely calm... no more racing heartbeat.. no more butterflies in my stomach..
i felt i owned the place.. ( well not exactly.. but u get me ryte)
felt as if i'd done this a 100 times before..
mayb it was the Holy Spirit tat came over me at tat time... the Lord took away all my nervousness n anxiety.. n helped me sing like an angle (direct quote taken from Titus.. lol)...
n when i sang my fav verse... 'sing alleluia to the lord~~' ... i felt my heart soar high above the heavens as everyone in the church sang along with me...
it was a truly wonderfull feeling..
i felt free..
free from a most haunting fear tat kept me from singing in concerts when frends invited me to in school... or during my highschool prom.. (joy.. u can bear witness to this) hehe..

*sigh*

well... i think i've made the right decision coming here... to Russia.. a so very foreign place for me...
its helped me grow in so many ways..
i've done many things i dint think i cud do..
n for tat.. i am trully gratefull..
Amen.
