Little bit bout this sem...

This sem I got a challenging yet interesting time table…

Bad thing is that all the heavy subjects are packed into first 4 days of the week and I have to studying like hell during those days…

But the best part is that after Thursday’s classes, my tough week is practically considered ended… After that what I got are just minor and much relax classes… Friday have only Russian class till 12pm only while Saturday have Bioethics class which takes place once in 2 weeks and lasts for 5 classes only…

So, this sem I have much better and longer weekend time… though first 4 days need to pay more effort than others… so far still affordable… but later when volume of discussion topics has increased or all kinds of tests coming together, I don’t know how la…

Anyway, like this is still better gua… for the first time in 3 years here, I can have 2 days off for weekend…or can be said 2 n half days off as Friday class is till noon… Just as our Chinese proverbs sound like ‘first bitter then sweet’ lo…

Tonight is Friday night, a calm and relaxing night without any tension to finish all the topics before the next day…

By the way, I was given the job to bring our scholars juniors to uni from this hostel this afternoon… a group of 17 people… and the thing is, these juniors were calling me ‘Abang, Abang’ when they wanted to ask something throughout the way… I was like.. omg... sound damn weird…mayb I’m not used to this kind of culture in Malays society… anyhow, better just call me without any gelaran…

Seeing another batch coming here, and this give me a thought that I’m really 3rd year now…everything is fast, and hope it’s just as fast to get to time for next journey back home :)

3 weeks ago...

It has been just 3 weeks since I came back to here but I feel like I’m back for years… Maybe long duration of dreadful class everyday gives such illusion…

Keep breaking my own plan to update blog… and seem like it need some special mood or motivation for me to really take action to log in to my blog account and type something…

Recalling from what happened to me since I reached here from holidays…

The very first moment when I was back and stepped onto the land of this city called Volgograd on 28 aug, something bad and ridiculous already occurred on me… My check-in luggage didn’t reach airport here together with my domestic flight! It was actually my first time to experience such problem and it had to be in Russia...

It was so damn difficult to deal with this kind of problem when it’s on the lands of Russia… Everything have to communicate in Russians and to make the thing worst, Russians people here are well-known in their bad service attitude… Something amazing was that it was not my fault at all in missing the luggage but the airport officers here kept on blaming me as if they have no responsibilities at all… Anyway, after some frustrating arguments with my poor Russians, finally managed to force them to take down my contact and report on luggage lost…

Then seniors told me I need to call airport myself everyday as normally they wouldn’t contact us themselves when luggage is found… The next evening I started to call to try my luck and fortunately they replied that the luggage had reached that morning… So I immediately went to airport and claimed it… I had to spend on extra transport fee to and back from airport to get back my luggage but don’t complain too much as long as can get back the luggage from this kind of airport here… I was actually very very worried that whole day if it couldn’t be found back because there are so many nice and important stuff in the luggage which was 20 something kg…

Just another great experience gained in dealing problem with Russians…

Another troublesome thing to do once we arrive here was we need to do visa registration at foreign students’ department of university… It was common to see human’s sardine pack outside the visa registration room during that time in addition to slow efficiency of those officers inside and sometimes quarrel may occur if there is someone who cut line especially if it involves students from different countries…

Last year I waited like more than 2 hours only reached my turn to go in to register my visa for renewal…and this time was a bit luckier, waited for 1 hour plus…

These were the hassles I had to undergo once I was back here…

The previous blog title has been used for some years ady and even myself also feel very sien everytime seeing those same words when clicking into my own blog...

So, finally take the action to change it...

yea... when keep growing up and up, begin to realize and understand the fact that there is difference between reality and dream... Some dreams are just fantasy forever... and sometimes it's better to go for something more realistic...

No matter what, life is always like a dream if we believe in it... and this blog is continuing to job down what I've accomplished from life and dreams...

3RD YEAR

So.... I'm actually back to Russia again and entering 2nd week of my third year studies here...

Nearly-2-month holidays had been very great as no other place in this world can be better than a place called 'Home'...

Third year is no joke at all... Time table is pack and required lots of travelling... It's just second week but looks like the study rhythm is entering its high pace...

okie...Sunday night is always full of tension as I have to adjust myself immediately from weekend mood... will write more in next post soon, hopefully...:)
