.when the unspeakable strikes.

It has been 2 weeks since my last update but I think that this is normal for me. I've never exceeded 4 posts a month and my normal frequency is once a month. And now with the frequency of me using the computer is getting lesser, posting something here would have taken my time off my daily usage. What a lame excuse it is, but now my laptop has got 2 users. Somehow spending less time on the computer made me spend more time on books. Haha. At least i'm revising more compared to facebook-ing, online-ing etc. That is the good part of it :)

Oh well.

A lot of things had happened during the past 2 weeks. We went to the circus! It was interesting, seeing creatures doing what they don't normally do and watching terrifying stunts that can blow your feet of the ground. Yeah, I'm exaggerating :).



As all of you can see, the event is mostly done to attract the children. And they have done it wonderfully. I think almost half of the hall was full with kids. It started of well-the lights, the effects, the crowd, everything! The two main characters, Dolli and Domeno introduced themselves and the performances begun. From the horses running around the stage, to lions crawling through tunnels. The main idea of all these performances were to make the child to be happier. When the child enters this world of amazing friends, he can befriended with anyone and do anything fun. But throughout the whole night (we were there form 7-10), there were something very inappropriate being shown to the crowd (mostly kids). The female performers they are. Some of them were dressed half-naked! Wow. Is this what they are showing the kids? Maybe it is not suitable for the Eastern culture, but I'm not quite sure about here. I was pretty shocked by this although the main purpose is not to show their body, it is to entertain the crowd and live up their character. Minus hyper revealing performers and some boring scenes, i'm giving it an overall 8/10 rating. If anyone is planning to visit Moscow, a visit to the circus is very recommended. Do try once :)

Referring to my previous post, I was actually kinda mad that day. But emotion changes and doesn't stay in the same position all the time :). Owh and that statement that I said, was actually strengthen by my Histology lecturer recently. I can still remember her saying when the students were noisy, "Keep silence, or sleep if you want to". Lucky us our the other lecturer does not bother to warn anyone of us. Even though we hated that subject so much, why don't we give the lecturer at least some respect? In fact, she is the one who teaches us, trying to give away knowledge that are priceless, yet charged nothing from us. I was mad plus sad the other day. Is this what was teached to us when we were small? This is common sense. I'm sad that not everyone has this kind of thinking. Like an old Malay saying, "Darah sama merah, hati lain-lain". Sigh. The lecturer has done their part, why don't we keep silence and listen to what she is talking about? It can be interesting, if we do not bother to talk, and pay our full attention to her. It won't hurt anyone too :)

Yes. I'm directing this to you, to those who makes noises during the lecture and unconsiously, disturbing it. Tolonglah terasa :)

Wishlist are out! And alhamdulillah I've got hold on a few of it. First, a keyboard. Now I'm trying to improve myself on it, to not let my fingers karat like what happened before :).

Next, a backpack for travelling. This is what I very much need for this semester. Hope that our plan to go to Turkey and summer plannings will be realised.

3rd, to plan the winter holidays. We planned to go to Turkey and Cyprus might be in the list. Since we are not going to use any tourist guide, we hope to plan this accordingly with, of course, a couple or two hitches. But we will try to minimize it. Oh well, pray for us that this will soon be a reality InsyaAllah. The Cotton castle of Pamukkale, and maybe the Saranta Kolones ruins of Paphos? :)

Kadang-kadang ada orang cakap, kalau kita tido time orang cakap kat depan, tu tanda tak bagi perhatian. Tapi kalau untuk yang berjaga pula, tapi sembang-sembang hu ha hu ha sampai satu dewan dengar macam mana pulak tu?

Sebab tu lah, orang selalu cakap, "kalau lah tak mau dengar sangat orang tu cakap, lebih baik tido drpd buat bising so that korang tak kacau orang lain".

(Translation=red-blue is the strongest!)

This is what the CSKA Moscow fans are chanting each time their team is playing, wherever and whenever. Even when they lost to any of the big teams I suppose, Man. United for example last Wednesday. A trait that I really respect them, a character of being supportive to your team regardless what happens. Even though I am not into fanaticism, their spirit of their team and fully committed to it makes me wonder, do us Malaysians are doing this, giving our full commitment to our own national team? I'm not generalising here but I am pretty sure that most of us is critisizing them. Why don't we spare them some chance and be supportive to them :).

Oh well, back to the point. The match between CSKA and Man. United was awesome! It was my first experience watching a live football match in a stadium with the local fans. I must admit we do felt a bit insecure before and after the match. But hey, we blended in well, and alhamdulillah we got home safely. It was one helluva experience! I am of course on CSKA side since I don't know why, I don't really like the away team. Unfortunately, the home team lost by one goal, thanks to Antonio Valencia. Haish.

[1] The longest day of the week has officially ended. But of course, we have to endure it every week, therefore ending it today somehow doesn't mean much. Every Thursday will be like this until (I hope) the first sem ended. Day description: Classes+Lectures for 11 hours straight from 9 till 8. Excluding the time taken to get to the metro in the morning and back at the hostel at night. Imagine it during winter. It will be pitch black when we will be on our way home. We love Thursdays. Bright side:3 days of holiday (friday can be considered as holiday too as we have only one class-Russian).We love our weekends.

[2] Syawal updates! Our previous weekends were all. I mean ALL filled with open houses. It was great. The food of course is the greatest. Once we went to the girl's house located at the South of Moscow, there were lotsa pastries. From cheese cakes to caramel. Seriously I can't list everything since there were a lot of them that I didn't know. My sole job is to bring my empty stomach there and do what I do best. Thank you everyone for the open houses! Hope that there will be more even though Syawal is heading toward its end. Tak rugi kalau selalu buat makan-makan :)

[3] I will be a CSKA Moscow fan for a week till next Wednesday. A CSKA muffler maybe? Sure. Never an Man. United fan. See, I can't even type their whole team name. I just don't know why. Owh, will be back to Bolton's after their Champions League match.

[4] Controls, controls and controls. We are having it almost every week. Next is gonna be histology. The subjects are getting tougher and tougher. Nevermind. I have chosen this path and will not turn back ever.

[5] Now residing on the fifth floor of the hostel. To get to this floor, especially after a day of class, will surely be tiring. After one semester, I expect all my pes muscles to grow larger and my fitness to increase. Dah la hampir hari-hari jalan pergi metro (app. 2km).

[6] Still finding some time to go shopping. My stock of khakis and t-shirts has been depleting. I desperately need new ones. Maybe my plan to save for the next summer holiday will fail? Maybe... And the plan to get myself a keyboard is still on. Planning to survey the prices at different places all over Moscow, to get the cheapest and best price, will start tomorrow insyaAllah. "cheap ones are at par with the expensive ones". Life motto.

[7] The winter and summer holiday plans are out! Haha. I hope it won't be a mere plan. Realizing it is my main goal. Winter to where? Secret. Hehe. Summer through the trans-siberian railway to Beijing, Hong Kong, Malaysia. InsyaAllah :)

[8] Tonight is officially our night off. After a hectic 4 days of class, we truly deserve a whole night rest. Alhamdulillah i've still got the chance to write here and being able to update.

[9] One more. Moscow has got its own Carrefour! I have always been wanting to share this but unfortunately, time has been very restricting. It is near Metro Fili. Your welcome.



*Almost all of my posts will somehow, be related to food. I guess I am food-o-philiac?
**Please rout for CSKA Moscow for next week's clash.

For now.

Mood:raya pertama yang seronok, raya kedua penuh dengan kelas.

Belum lagi terlambat untuk wish semua orang selamat hari raya yah?


Moga salah silap dimaafkan dan segalanya dihalalkan. Moga pembaca-pembaca juga gembira di samping keluarga, paling kurang pun di samping rakan-rakan. Selamat berjaya semua :)

*pictures and a more elaborated post will appear later.

[1] Alhamdulillah. Tick tock tick tock. Everything has gone so fast that I did not realize that it is already the 3rd day of Ramadhan. Syukur to the Almighty because we are once again able to be in this fasting month. I considered myself as lucky since not everyone were given the chance to feel what I am experiencing. Do be grateful to everything, as there are hiqmah in anything that is going on.

[2] Tonight is my last night here at home. And this is surely my last post from Penang, our beloved land and truly the best one, at least to me. How I wish I could spend more nights here with my family and friends. But fortunately [:)], tomorrow night we will be flying off, again, to our beloved-too-city of Moscow. Sorry to all my friends that I did not meet during the past 2 months. There are always next year right? And thank you to all that I have met. It is a pleasure for me to have you guys around and to know that you still remember me.

[3] Before I left for my place of study, of course, there are a lot of shopping needs to be done. Especially during this Malaysian Mega sale. It is ahmayzing. As usual before shopping, a visit to the ATM is a must. I was queueing up waiting for my turn. There are two ladies in front of me, spending their own sweet time, doing I dont know what with the ATmachine. After a while of patience (puasa), finally they are done. While I was withdrawing, a guard was standing beside me. And the most grotesque thing happened. That guard spitted beside me! S**t. Although he aimed for the waste paper basket, which in coincidently beside me too, it was very rude. Rukun negara ke-5: Kesopanan dan kesusilaan. What happened to it? Obviously we as Malaysian did not practice what is written. There are no use of reciting it everyday if we do not know what it really means.

[4] No more playing and twindling with my hair. Short indeed now. New semester new hairstyle. Cool :).

[5] Most of the things in my wishlist for the holiday has been fulfilled. Some of it aren't, which including finishing up the anatomy syllabus from page one till the end. Aiseh. Will double up the effort next sem.

[6]And for the next sem, I have been hoping to buy a keyboard. At least it can kill my boredom. I need some music in me.

[7] For my last night here, I think this is enough. Happy fasting to everyone, and hope to see all of you back in Moscow in one piece.
