Finally an update..

Well Helllooooo there 2009~

se tau the new year bangas sdh.. but better late then never.
Happy new year peeps~

been over a month since my last post.. not tat i havent got the time, its just tat so many things have happened.. interesting n fun n wonderfull things which i could only write about but not show or post pics up for u guys to see.. tat it made me sooo lazy to update. my bad~

neway tx joy for posting up those videos of mine.. (altho se rasa malu2 jua la.. cis.. ko nda tanya se lagi ah.. pantat ko hehe) but it gves u a rough idea of whats been happening with me here far far away in Russia.

the end of my 2008 was spent on preparing for major tests and exams.. it sucks tat Russian Xmas is on 7th january and so 25th Dec is just another school day to them. So as u can see, i spent my xmas having classes.. but i made up for all tat during New year...

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!

Wat a way to usher in the new year. wish i cud post up the pics.. but unfortunately my server doesnt allow tat.. why u might ask? because they just want to make our lives here miserable. Fullstop.

but i wont spend my time complaining about how sucky my internet is... (skg sdh murah skit compared last time... due to our joint effort of 'mogoking' over sucky internet. Fight for our rights!) Instead ill update u on weather conditions.

Been snowing heavily lately. And i mean HEAVY. Snow up to your ankles in most places. Temperature hit -17deg a few days ago. DAMM. I felt my nasal mucous membrane freeze up. Ever felt like u had ice cubes in your nose? No?

Went skating at -10deg too last monday.. dint know it was -10deg tho. I guess we've all got whale blubber for skin.. coz it dint feel like -10deg.. Went skating with high expectations for myself, i thought it would be like riding a bicycle (mind you, i went once before last winter..).. came back with a big bruise on my knee, dashed hopes n rudolphs nose.
note : applied minyak But But on bruise.. works wonders

Received my parcel from msia a few days ago too! yeepee~!
Food food food! Was so happy, decided to eat a packet of mee maggi Kari straight away. *bliss*

Yesterday though i was bz studying muscles,nerves,arteries n veins on cadavers in the anatomy department for my upcoming anatomy final exam this friday. Damm. They are so messed up in real life. Nothing at all like the books. Had a hard time, especially with all the formalin. Was tearing the whole time. Came home with a migraine n sleep the whole evening. (after bathing of course.. dunt want any leftover residue of internal organs on me). Tx to special hands for uruting minyak kapak on my temples as i fell asleep.. n for preparing dinner. ^_^
However it was still cool how we were left by the teachers to do as we please in the department. Went in and our of cadaver room, scooping kidneys,livers,penises n uteruses out of formalin baths to kononnya study.. ;p

and now hre i am.. awake early in the morning at 6:30am while everyone else is fast asleep. The aftermath after my migraine. Will make up for lost time yesterday. We also have an anat computer test to click. 3000+ questions n only 80 come out in finals.. shitty~ i know.

well wish me luck friends..
im gonna need it.

tata bloggie~

3rd times the... bore~

yuhuu bloggie~

yesterday we preformed the Kenyalang Kinabalu dance for the third time at Kursk Politeknik University... it was nice all in all.. but most of us are kinda getting bored of doing the same old dance with magunatip.. altho it still seems to get the crowd winded up.

we've danced it so many times it became muscle memory. It was still fun tho..

but the most fun was being treated like a celebrity. rasa cam artist gitu~ ;p

as soon as we came of stage.. some russians n foreign students wanted to take pics with us. Probably the costumes tat did it.. all the bling2 and all. But i felt it was a bit too much tho.. baru turun stage sdh kena tarik2 bergmbar.. org pun x dpt fokus the next performance..

but what got me was that the myanmar students probably dint have a lotta female foreign students in their uni.. coz they were staring at us with a deprived-of-female-affection look. eeeee scary~

one guy came up to me and said "photo u me?"
sure i said.. but then he grabbed my hand and smilled up to his ears while his friend took our pic..
then they changed places with each other..
i dint mind that much but stalking can only go as far..
they was another who secretely took pics of us girls... not twice or trice.. but from our rehearsel the other day to performance day.. n he made no effort to cover up his attempt either. And he was following us everywhere. but thank God for my guy dancemates.. they kept us girls in between them somehow.. altho they did have a hell of a time making fun of us too.

neway after the concert, we were invited for tea by the dean. We were served tea n cakes. The dean was a bubbly old man.. he just kept talking2 and talking in both russian n english. He was the reason our meeting wasnt so awkward either.

but he did say something at the end of it all that made u sorry for him
he said : i envy u... u know why? because of ur youth n happiness. im old.. but u are young. so dont be stupid little beings and waste ur life away by being so ignorant.

fuh.. talk about a blow to ur ego. and he said all this when he asked us if we knew a song called sing sing sing from the 1920's.. waddahell~

after tat he called us babies. i love sweet old bubbly people. he's one of those people tat u know when he dies... so many people would strongly feel his loss.

he then made us sing native songs of our country.. n since of us were from sabah.. we sang jambatan tamparuli n rasa syg... he dint understand nuthing. but said he liked the melody. then he said.. "sing wit me pls... Do a dear.. a female dear..."
hahahaha...

just by looking at him.. u wud think he was a bitter old man.. but actually being so old n wise.. he dint mind making a fool of himself. We enjoyed his company very much...

after that.. since we dint finish eating our cakes.. he gave us wrapping paper to wrap up the cakes n go.

apa lagi.. tapau seja.. bikin makan breakfast bisuk hehe.
my friend penny however.. tapau-ed the paper instead...

me: ko bikin apa tapau tu?
penny: yay.. ada sdh kertas kira2 sy...

we oso was given a holiday today... so i skipped class today to write in detail how it went yesterday. i wanna be able to look back at my blog n remember how much i loved that bubbly old man.

well till my next post~

1st snow flake of the winter!

yuhuuu bloggie~

the 1st snow flake of 2008's winter landed on my eyelash today... last year we were taking pics like crazy.. but i guess we kinda got used to it already.

neway on the way to nursing therapy class today it was snowing heavily.. n this continued the whole day. But the temperature was only +1.4 dgrees today so the snow flakes quickly melted as it landed. All we got from a whole day of raining snow was muddy roads.. n it aint purty.

Hoping the winter wont be too cold this year.. i just hate wearing socks to bed.. my toes need breathing space too~ lol. The central heating in the building is still sufficient for now.. but i have my 9-fin heater on standby if ever it gets too cold.

its getting dark real early too.. 4:30pm n it already looks like 8pm. In a way its quite helpful. It makes u think tat its 10pm n u tend to study earlier now.

well enuf about the weather report hehe... todays Nursing theraphy class was interesting.
remember the theoretical injections class the other day? well today was our practical.
we met our dear old patient again (mr pillow) n began stabbing the poor thing.
the "right" way of course. Madam Yelena was keeping a watchful eye on us the whole time. While practicing our intravenous injections on Stacy.. (lol.. yep my roomate was also the patient of the day.. altho we dint actually inject her), Madam Yelena was attending to patients in our class. She was expertly multi tasking between us and her patients.

However there was this one patient tat my heart went out too.. She looked well, in her 50's mayb, but seemingly very unhappy. Madam took her blood pressure.. talked with her.. and asked her..

Madam: Kak vei chustvuitye? (how do u feel?)
Patient: fvse ploxa... ochen ploxa (everythings bad.. very bad)
Then madam was obviously comforting her.. holding her hand.. but i couldnt understand the rest of their conversation anymore..
And as madam did this.. the lady burst into tears.. and continued crying even as madam went out to do something.
We tried not to stare.. but u cant help but want to console someone when they have seemingly received a bad diagnosis. Still.. wat cud we do.. we cudnt even talk russian properly yet.

so we just continued to do our little injections into the pillow. Thankfully she stopped crying soon after..

We figured out why madam went out soon after.. she wanted the class to go follow the nurse on her rounds so that she could have the room to herself n the patient.

Off we went then... following the nurse, observing her. As we entered the wards with the nurse.. a lot of old people were there.. they were all so loving n friendly.. calling us in to study them... some even tried to make friends.. damm! shud really improve my russian.

priority num 1 : study the language better!! i am gonna be here for another 4 1/2 years.. huhuhu...

well tats all for now~

over n out~

Happy Bday D!

in a nurses shoes...

yuhuu blog~

ive a two hour break before my physiology lec.. so i decided to come home from my nursing theraphy class in the hospital this morning to jot down some words of wat happened.

it was a funny class today. dint know my teacher Yelena Alexevna (i know.. the name sounds so cool ryte) was act very dramatic in acting out scenes for us today. Today our topic was about Injections.... subcutaneous,intramuscular,intravenous n etc..

she explained us the different2 types of syringes, needles and how to correctly break open an glass ampule.

then she asked who would like to become the patient today.. n since no one answered.. she went to her cupboard n took out a pillow. she actually hugged n fluffed up her pillow and said "hello my dear patient".

Yelena : Now students how zu we correctly pirform an intramuscular injection?
Us: err... perpendicular? 90 degress?
Yelena: yes yes.. needle must be straight. see here pls students.

and suddenly she just jabbed the needle into the pillow full force and said "like this"

we looked at her not sure if she was asking a question or was stating a fact.
only when she said "poor patient... no no.. zu kill the patient" and stroked the pillow did we realize it was a joke.
fuh~ u must be one hell of a crazy doc to inject sumone like tat.

Yelena: very good now. Tell me pls.. where is the localization of such injections?
Us: err.. buttocks??
Yelena: yes yes.. very good. which part of the buttock students?
Us: err.. somewhere up here (showing our buttocks to her)
Yelena: specific name pls.. Upper lateral quadrant.. Da students?
Us: Da Da... (upper wat??)
Yelena: tak. tak. tak. (so.. so.. so..) So this part has no blood vessels or big nerves.. Here u may do as u please.
Us: er.. ok. (sounds so wrong)

anyway~
i dint know our buttocks cud be divided into four sections. and only one can be injected into.. coz if u were to inject into the other 3 sections... u cud be injecting into the sacrum or into ur ischiadicus nerve which will then cause intense pain followed by paralysis. In which case.. u'll be making it up to ur patient for life... fuh~ its never easy.

well.. times up~
gtg to lecture now...
till my next post~

Success!!

success!!!!!!!!

even the word itself underestimates our Deepa-Raya nite.

its was so hectic and adrenaline pumping. especially backstage when we have only 5 mins left before we perform n my hairs not made yet... make-up not touched up.. and some members of our dance missing. Only 2 mins before going on stage was i able to tie up my hair into a bun.. then i was telling my dancemates to relax.. when deep down inside it was actually a way for me to relax as well. And as soon as the "Org Kita" song by Abu bakar ellah came on...

all i can say was tat there was a lotta panic below... thank God we manage to get evryone in line before we performed. once we were on.. the panic subsided and the performance felt so short altho it was actually a full 8 minutes of dancing. In my mind.. i was as cool as a cat. yap yap. i rili was... hehehe... i think im getting used to performing on stage. Those psalmist(singing psalms for church) gigs helped i guess. Manage to get tru magunatip in one piece too. Got a big applause for tat. Im guessing the russians havent seen tat before. But the most important thing is.... i dint turn into a tomato on stage. muahahahahaha~

i felt so *bling2* in my dress too^_^.

so exciting~ ^_^

im glad everyone enjoyed the performance too.

cam whored all through the nite... thank u mr "camera" man. *wink2*

rasa cam artist pla skejap lol ;p.

*sigh*

but i dont know when i might be able to where the dress again... owh well~.. still was a hell of a nite ^_^

p/s: was lucky to get one pic uploaded! shiets~ i hate my internet~

owh n MyGames is starting next week. Will be playing for netball and basketball. Guess wat we're calling our team.... 1Borneo~ lol... im not being kenegerian or anything.. our team just happens to be from sabah n swak.. hence the name. uu~ cant wait!

till my next post~

Tonite's the NIGHT!

bloggie~~~~~

im sooooo nervous! heart-pumping, cold sweat in my palms n everlasting thirst in my mouth nervous.

im listening to 'Vertical Horizon - Best i ever had' to chill~

the thing is tat tonite is Deepa-Raya Nite!!! ony a few more hours before we go on stage ^_^ im more excited actually. I know our dance is rili nice... "very awesome" a quote from our seniors.. lol. minta puji. But its kinda pressuring too. If there was no Magunatip part (dancing with bamboo sticks clicking at our heels) i wouldnt be so nervous.. My hands are cold. Im praying i dont stumble and fall... tats all i ask! Not in my Murut dress... haih haih haih~~~~

Need to sangul my hair sumore... then wear heavy2 metal belts n heavy2 bangles... owh man.. i hope i have the strenght to carry it all.

Lol.. im exagerating.

Im sure it will be fine. (PULEZZZ let it be fine)

Well anyway.. i dont know who i can ask to help me with makeup. I can do the basic2 things.. but somehow when performing, u need to apply a lot more to make it more obvious to the audience. So i'll be asking someone last2 minit la this.. haih2~

Neway.. wish me luck!!
Will be cam whoring the whole nite! yeepee~~~

till my next post~
