Revelations.

Never over you. =)

2011-02-05T08:01:00.001+03:00

When you forget me

When you don’t remember my name

Not even a memory

Somewhere in the back of your brain

I won’t be offended

‘Cause I always knew that the day

Would come when I’m not enough to make you stay

You tell me it’s not possible, no way that we could break

But nothing is illogical, believe me

Like falling stars over your head

We were bound to burn out, burn like crashing cars

I’ll never get over you, never over you

‘Cause you are so beautiful, yeah

The world is turning

And time keeps on lingering on

The sun will be burning

Eventually you will be gone

I’ll always love you

Oh, believe it or not

Baby, that’s not enough to

Not enough to stop these…

Falling stars over your head

We were bound to burn out, burn like crashing cars

I’ll never get over you, never over you

‘Cause you are so beautiful, yeah

When it’s all said and done

I’ll be just a speck in the galaxy

Floating far far away by gravity

You tell me it’s not possible

No way that we could break

Like falling stars

Like crashing cars

Like falling stars over your head

We were bound to burn out just like crashing cars

I’ll never get over you, never over you

‘Cause you are so beautiful

You are so beautiful, yeah

It'll take some time I guess.

Hi everyone..

I will not apologize for not posting up often.

Why?
1. no one reads this.
2. I've apologized too many times still nothing's changing.

Hence, no apologies. ;)

On the other hand, life's good. I just hope to focus more on my studies this time around.. I want to do well, be a good doctor, be a better person...

I was just thinking, nowadays I'm in a position where I'm where I want to be... I don't really want to go forward, but people push me.

Is it a lack of motivation on my part, or am I just being stubborn?

"I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't let go of what's the point of me here..."

God, hello. Thank you for your blessings this past week you have answered my prayers - even if you didn't... I will love you still. =)

I'm thinking so much about the future, I should remember to live in the present... do what you can with what you have now, instead of thinking of what you can or would do with what you don't have.

Uncertainties. I don't work that way, but I am sorry. Me and uncertainties, don't work so well together. They give me some sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, anxiety attacks, sweaty palms, heart beat races...

Aiyah, cannot fight with them - they _____ _______ than me.

Once again we come back to this point. Is it really what I want?

Think too much already. Alone mah. What to do.
Back to therapy.

21

2010-05-08T22:03:00.003+04:00

Dear God.

Today I turn 21. :) Thank you that more than 21 years ago, you thought of me, even before I was conceived in my mom's womb. On the 8th of May 1989 you set me free from my watery home and let me out into the world. You give me an awesome mommy and daddy, and lots of other family members. I am really thankful for all of that.

God, today I look back at many of the awesome things you've done in my life. You were with me from the very beginning...even before that! But sometimes I feel so alone. Like... what have I done, where is everyone? Those that love me are so far away, those that I hope would love me, don't..and those that don't, well they just don't care. And..although I seem to not care about what other people think, of course it does hurt me...

People tell me that I am strong, but those who know me know that I am just the same as everyone else. But now, I will tell myself to remember that God you know every part of me good and bad and you love me just as much. God,I need your help.. I need to learn to understand that I am worth so much more to you than I see myself, especially at this point in time. the love you have shown me.. its way more than how much time ppl spend with you, or how ppl tell you they love you... cause at the end of the day, when that goes away, there is nothing left anyway!

Sometimes on this earth.. there are so many problems to deal with. And sometimes the problems are just so big, like you can't even begin to wrap ur head around what it is.. let alone try to solve it. Like trying to hug a big big tree but your hands can't touch each other. HAHa sometimes feel abit weird like that. Like you've lost your other hand. So you're like trying to wrap ur hands around this giant tree but you can't feel the other side...

So problems come and go. You get thru them somehow or rather, by hook or by crook. sometimes you come out on top, sometimes you come out at the bottom. And I ask for strength from You to get thru lots of things that are thrown at me. Probably I am looking for a quick fix, like magical skills to suddenly be 'bestowed' upon me to be able to do so much better at what I am. And then it doesn't come, and i am still stuck with this big splat of a mess. SPLAT. BLUEK. Like GOO. BLUEKKKK. SPLATTTTTTT................. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

What is left.. at the end of the day, is nothing.. not love, not hate, not problems not even my body.. what is left is You.

Today, I turn 21. 21 years of walking with you, though I didn't realize it most of that time.. But, You were, is and will be God from now till the day I leave with nothing.

nail.

2010-04-11T22:29:00.002+04:00

I broke a nail.

I don't take failure well. Hmm.

No I am not blogging about a broken nail.

Rather about the fear of dissapointing others.

When you tell me things lyk that, i really dunno what to say to you. i know u want whats best for us but do you think that u could say it in a less painful way. I dunno la.
Do you think this is by far my nature? Do you think that I naturally excel in this? OMG i find this soo difficult. I dun even know if I am cut out for this. This isn't the first time i've cried over this matter. I don't even know if I am able to do half of what you expect me to do.

I feel hurt cause I dont want to move fwd. I dun even want to wake up. I dun want to give up this which i am having now. I want to be comfortable. don't wan to move. don't feel like i belong. feel like i am wearing shoes tht are too big. dont want to be human. dont wanna b looked down upon. don;t wanna ...

ignoree this post you wun b able to understand anythn anyway. i dun wanna talk just want to sleep.

Hey readers...

Noe that you all have been asking me about whats been going on in my life and all that..

Life's pretty great. Had a dream about you. I dreamt that you had a new post on your blog. So i woke up and proceeded to read it only to find nothing new. Ah well.

It's April! If you've read the news i am sure you know that there have been bombings recently. Three Malaysian seniors got injured, but they're recovering now, thank God! Just goes to show how life can be so fragile and can just slip away from you like that. Kinda puts things in perspective. Because we worry about the small minute details we forget the bigger picture. :)

Apart from that, it's already been 4 months into the new year. How have you fared? I got a haircut, grown my nails long, finished two of my most difficult cycles and still maintained my grade. God only you can help me with this :) I am leaving it all up to you.

Cellgroup's growing too. Been reading the bible consistently (with help), i hope that we both learn to do this not because we do it together, but rather because we love Him first. That's most important yea.

Will have to do attachments in Moscow this year. That means a shorter summer holiday in Malaysia. Just a few years ago I came here thinking that 6 years would be such a long long time but we're down to only 2 more years before this Mayshi becomes Dr. Leong. Oh dear. Meanwhile I will enjoy this journey and try to make the best of it, learn and fulfill as many dreams of mine as i can before I graduate. My dreams are so colourful now but somehow the future seems BLACK , totally black. It's not like i've got no dreams for them, but rather they have yet to be painted with the awesome colours of awesomeness! :)

Been talking to the girls alot lately. Hmm Kwan (hi!) has been going thru a rollercoaster time lately... My only hope is that you come out of this a stronger and better person! What doesn't break you only makes you stronger. And MY role in this? I hope that I can just give you a little guidance along the way.

Humm ho. New beginnings. Today he went back to Malaysia. I feel somehow that God's got so much much more in store for him and thus i am really excited for him. New beginnings are a gift from God, a chance to start with a clean slate and put all the past behind us, taking the lessons learnt and then moving on. After all that you've been thru I just hope that God will really show you favour in your dreams, your career and your current and future family. Somehow I feel a little sentimental now and reminds me of the time I left home to come here. The promise of something great. I only hope that it inspires you to run faster and jump higher! :D

God.. you are really great. :) Really awesome and wonderful, amazing, beautiful, colourful. Thank you for this life that you've given to me, thank you that you are there equally when i feel it sucks or when I feel its great. Thank you for a chance to do your work, to be free to do what I love, to spend it with the people that I love, only because You loved me first. You've turned my life from black and white into beautiful colours, all swirly and dancing around. You've taken the little that I have and multiplied it for your glory! And I will make sure that your investment in my life does not go to waste! <3

I hope.

A little something for the guys.

When you break her heart, the pain never really goes away.

When she misses you, she’s hurting inside.

When she says it’s over, she still wants you to be hers.

When she walks away from you mad, follow her.

When she pushes or hits you, grab her tight & don’t let her go.

When she starts cursing at you, kiss her and tell her you love her.

When she ignores you, give her your attention.

When she pulls away, pull her back.

When you see her crying, just hold her and don’t say a word.

When you see her walking, sneak up and hug her waist from behind.

When she’s scared, protect her.

When she lays her head on your shoulder, tilt her head up and kiss her.

When she steals your favourite jacket, let her keep it and sleep with it for a night.

When she teases you, tease her back and make her laugh.

When she doesn’t answer for a long time, reassure her that everything is okay.

When she looks at you with doubt, back yourself up with the truth.

When she says that she likes you, she really does more than you could understand.

When she grabs your hands, hold hers and play with her fingers.

When she bumps into you, bump into her back and make her laugh.

When she tells you a secret, keep it safe and untold.

When she looks at you in your eyes, don’t look away until she does.

Stay on the phone with her even if she’s not saying anything.

Don’t let her have the last word.

Say you love her more than she could ever love you.

Argue that she is the best girl ever.

When she’s mad, hug her tight and don’t let go.

When she says she’s OK, don’t believe it, talk to her about it, because 10 yrs later she’ll still remember it

Call her at 12:00am on special occasions to tell her you love her.

Call her before you sleep and after you wake up.

Treat her like she’s all that matters to you.

Don’t ignore her when she’s out with you and your friends.

Stay up all night with her when she’s sick.

Watch her favorite movie with her or her favorite show even if you think its stupid.

Let her into your world.

Let her wear your clothes.

When she’s bored and sad, hang out with her

Let her know she’s important.

Kiss her in the pouring rain.

When she runs up at you crying, the first thing you say is; “Who’s ass am I kicking today baby?”

After she reads this, she hopes one day you’d read it too.

:) Happy days.

2010-02-11T13:52:00.005+03:00

So after the insanity of post holidays/Winter Conference has died down, we are back to normalcy. Kind of.

Life is good. It may be busy, stressful, tiring, but "Rejoice! for this is the day the Lord has made." And that is that. No cuts no buts no coconuts.

Apart from that, God's really showing himself around these days. Hi Daddy! Thanks for sticking around us.

One quote I heard recently,

"You are not a nobody. You are a somebody. Because God didn't send his Son to die for a nobody. God sent his Son for somebody."

So true. Live life to the fullest!

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

2010-01-24T02:35:00.003+03:00

But of course, assuming you get beaten up by thugs, my guess is that shortly after, you will be quite weak. Probably after that you would go gymming to prepare yourself for the day you meet those thugs again to give them a piece of your mind.

my mind's going cuckoo kachoo.

Got my number 38 tooth (left lower wisdom tooth) removed a few days back. Looks like some thugs sucker-punched my face. Got a bruise on my lower left jaw. PLus I'm reminded of the funny squirrel thing in Ice Age that seems to be chasing an acorn. You know where the acorn is? IN MY LEFT LOWER JAW.

100 things to be thankful for in 2009

2010-01-14T12:39:00.001+03:00

Hey ya...

Just had some time to write something .. As in just some time alone to reflect on what’s been going on lately.

Just got back from Istanbul! Thank God that I actually get to visit such a beautiful country!

Due to Mac’s awesome iPhoto uploader, uploading photos to Facebook have never been easier. Look at me, advertising the Mac. :P So if you wanna check them pictures out, please please go to my facebook account. It saves me time - don’t wanna be reuploding pictures here. If only iPhoto had a Blogger uploader too huh? ;)

Well I am sure the pictures are self explanatory. Go wiki if you wanna know more about Turkey. If you can afford it, do go visit it! If you can’t, you can just admire the beautiful pictures that I have - they’re beautiful only because the subjects are even more so! I suppose any picture with cloudless blue skies as a background automatically brings it to the next level. After all, what else is there in nature that’s that shade of blue?

On the other hand, I guess I am not too late in wishing all of you a Happy New Year 2010! May this year be better than your last, another year that you can learn more and love more, do more, see more, give more, and have more!

My resolutions for this new year are already written down on my Vision10 card.

“Write down your visions and make it plain on tablets, that all whom see it may run with it. “

And to usher in the New Year 2010 I just wanna tell God that I love Him so much. Thank you for changing my life, for making it more colourful and more meaningful! Since people have been doing this, I too will continue the tradition. I have to be honest, it took me about 10 days to get this list down. I was stuck at 95 for quite sometime. :) I’m sure I’ve accomplished more than this, but I guess I’ve just forgotten. I should journal more.

Fear.

2009-12-13T02:30:00.005+03:00

I'm scared.

I'm scared of what's ahead. I'm scared till I don't want to move. I'm petrified. I can't even take a first step.

I'm scared of what's ahead and what obstacles I have to face to reach it. The sleepless nights, the running around in the cold, the tiredness. Not so much of a big fear, but I'm scared of not being able to complete what I start. I'm worried about rejection, I'm worried about how many ways I can fail.

Is the reward worth it?

I know it is. But why doesn't it feel like it is?

-I don't have enough faith that He'll carry me through. Dang I need to pray more. I need to break it down into little eatable chunks. I need to not be so concerned about the outcome but just do it.

I need Your help.

Cold.. cold!

2009-12-03T12:35:00.005+03:00

Welcome to December, the last month of the year! :) This is a good time to reminisce about things that have passed. I know this is so cliche but I really mean it when I say 'It was just like yesterday when it was the beginning of the year, and now it's already December!"

There was no other low this year than ... that time where I was freezing to death on the 16 hr train to Riga - armed only with my water bottle filled with hot water and a used teabag. If that was my ultimate low then you'd know how cold it was. :P

Besides that, this month is pretty depressing because of the cold and the lack of the sun is seriously reducing the amount of endorphins in my system. Also, my newly discovered lactose intolerance makes me unable to eat chocolate, another source of endorphins. Sigh.

I think that my cold tolerance has greatly reduced this semester.

On the bright side, I have successfully written 2 songs in this past month. :) Something that i've always wanted to do since like forever! Sadly though my voice cannot carry the songs, haha so if you think you have a voice better than mine we can work out some recording sessions. Youtube recording sessions, I mean.

Feel like crap these few days. Maybe that's why the songs are flowing.

Lovestring

2009-12-01T03:20:00.004+03:00

I feel like crap.

OH you know what I'm talking about... How people string you along giving you the impression that they are interested in you, only to say the same thing about oh, 100 other people in your face. But the worse part is that you've already fallen too deep into it to snap out of 'love' with this person.

Thing is this, once you think you've recovered and figure, hey lets all just be friends. And it starts again - you fall in too deep again. And falling in love with someone that doesn't love you back? That just hurts, doesn't it?

Love isn't supposed to hurt like this. Love isn't suppose to be this hard.

Sometimes I feel like I'm going out of my mind,
Boy the way you do me is a damn crime,
But then you smile at me and it's alright,
With you there ain't any in between...

Every time that I walk out the door
I tell myself I can't take it no more
There's a part of me won't let you go
I keep saying yes when my minds' saying' no...

Me and my heart we got issues (issues)
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you
Damn I wish that I could resist you
Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you,
Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues.

Thoughts are better written down. Because people, unlike paper doesn't judge, paper doesn't tell, and hey, you could just burn it later :)

Nucleic Acid Synthesis and Replication Inhibitors..

2009-05-25T13:46:00.006+04:00

I'm confused with Lincosamides and Macrolides. Same target of action. 23s rRNA on 50s ribosome, but.. why do they inhibit different things. Macrolides inhibit translocation of 50 ribosome, but the Lincosamides inhibit peptidyl transferase reaction. Yes yes. I got it right.

Tetracyclines work on A site of 30s ribosome, preventing tRNA binding on it, while aminoglycosides work on 30s ribosomes too, binding to it to prevent normal transcription. and lastly, we have chloramphenicol, which binds to 50s ribosome, also inhibiting the peptidyl transferase reaction.

Did you understand what I just wrote? :P if you do, then good for you, you would've done 1 part of Pharmacology well. :)

CONGRATULATIONS.

3rd year med school is tough. It's almost the end though, and i'm glad. I've heard that 4th year isn't so difficult. My brain is still stuck at SPM standard. Why do I feel like i'm still like a form 5 student? reliving the hayday of my prime?! (what a nerd)

Moving on to fluoroquinolones and rifampin. :) I want to eat food.. but yestday's briyani which i didn't keep in the fridge thinking that it would last, well it didn't. It's gone bad now. How did I know? I saw it was stretchy like hot cheese on a pizza, and then proceeded to put it in my mouth. IDIOT move I know. Sobs. What am I going to eat today?!! gotta go and cook now. Crap. I guess I'll just have a few crabsticks. Which reminds me, one of my friends confused chopsticks and chapsticks. HAHAHA. There was this tag thingy on Facebook.

35. Do you use chapstick?
Yes of course.
...

42. Do you use chopsticks?
Yes!

Then I proceeded to comment saying that they weren't the same thing, because I kinda knew that she wouldn't know what chapsticks were. I was right. *as always..LOL* Too cute.

It's rainy outside. RAIN RAIN RAIN. Been raining all of last week. Seems like it's gonna be like that this week too! What's more, BGT semifinals are on this week. What's more, it's almost time to go home for summer break. THE HORROR.

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CONCENTRATE FOR
the dreaded, looming, horrifying, insanely close with not enuff time to study
FINALS?

I'm Arabian.

2009-05-24T16:40:00.007+04:00

Arabian nights.

Obviously exam stress is getting to me. :) This morning I woke up and webcammed with Lynn while i was showing her how I put on my make-up. She said I had hot legs, and that she liked girls with big boobs. LYNN are you coming on to me? eww.

I went and got corn plasters today. Because I realised the corn has now grown to the size of half a 5 sen coin and it hurts like CRAZY! So i was stubborn and didn't wanna get the plasters earlier so it's my fault that I shout everytime I step on a sharp edge or an elevated surface on the floor.
BOO HOO.

I am done studying the Inhibitors of Cell Wall Synthesis.
Now moving on to Inhibitors of Cell Protein Synthesis.

Hurrah. Only a gazillion topics to go.

Toodles!

Random Question: Why is it that we were in school they made us wear white shoes and white socks?

I got cosmetics for 99 rubles today. And the good kind too. YAY. Hurrah for discounts. :)

Ooh my food is a-cooking. Smells yummy too.

I'll be coming home on the 24th June. Make an appointment with me alright?
*except Kwan, Lynn, Stef and Jun, and family needn't make appointments.*

I miss dolly. *woof, COOKIEPOO*

Better get back to studying. :)

I love Taylor. :)

FOREVER AND ALWAYS, TAYLOR SWIFT Cover

Because I'm worth it.

Say you're sorry

That face of an angel comes out

Just when you need it to

As I pace back and forth all this time

'Cause I honestly believed in you

Holding on,

The days drag on

Stupid girl

I should have known, I should have known

That I'm not a princess

This ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood,

This is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now its too late for you and your White Horse,

To come around.

Baby I was naíve,

Got lost in your eyes

I never really had a chance.

My mistake I didn't know to be in love you had to fight to have the upper hand.

I had so many dreams about you and me.

Happy endings

Now I know

I'm not a princess

This ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood,

This is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now its too late for you and your White Horse,

To come around.

And there you are on your knees

Begging for forgiveness,

Begging for me

Just like I always wanted,

But I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not your princess

This ain't our fairytale

I'm gonna find someone, someday

Who might actually treat me well.

This is a big world,

That was a small town

There in my rear view mirror,

Disappearing now.

And it's too late for you and your White Horse

Now its too late for you and your White Horse

To catch me now.

Oh whoa whoa whoa-oh

Try and catch me now

It's too late

To catch me now.

~ Taylor Swift's WHITE HORSE

I love that song.. It's so beautiful.

Awesome stuff is happening here. It's still snowing in middle of spring. There should be a proverb, like from that How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria , there is a line that goes 'unpredictable as weather..' I would like to change that to 'unpredictable as MOSCOW weather.'

I miss mom, dad, Ju and AhMa!

I have some health issues. I may be lactose intolerant, because I suffer from tummy aches especially after intake of dairy food products, eg. milo, McDs Sundaes... The thing is that, I was having a conversation with Charis about this, and I think that I shouldn't be having this problem since I have a constant DAILY intake of chocolate. So how can my receptors be underexpressed when they are being utilized so often? Secondly, my molars are erupting and are causing the rest of the teeth to be displaced. Annoying much!

Went to Spartive again today. Esther wasn't feeling well, so AK and Yan cooked for her, and I joined. Poor girl, overworked and underpaid. :P GET WELL SOON fake mom!

Gonna be co-leading praise and worship with Yan on Easter. I am very excited about this, and have been waiting for this for a long time. I guess it's one of my dreams that I want to accomplish in my life. Amongst the other dreams that I distinctly remember accomplishing are - Acting in Form 5 drama contest, and winning BEST ACTRESS!

- Acting in 'Merdeka' the Musical Form 4

- Getting 11A1s for SPM

- Getting to med-school.

- Leading PnW! ( soon)

And what I would like to do in the future:

- Get a bf and get married, have kids (DUH)

- Go skydiving

- WIN A Nobel Prize ( I have a little poster I bought from Stockholm, from the Nobel Prize Center, stating on how the selection process is done, and all the different committees they have.. It is stuck on the inner part of my closet.)

- Go to outer space. Experience weightlessness.

- Meet Oprah Winfrey. Talk.

- write a song ( 50% complete. It has no lyrics yet)

- Reach the top of mount Everest ( either by climbing, or helicopter or something.I was wondering, is there a way to reach the top of high peak by helicopters or some sort of vehicle?)

-Learn how to play violin, guitar and piano till I am competent.

They're all not like about getting rich, or being famous. Things like that don't matter to me. Obviously. I guess for me, it's about the accomplishments.

Life is always good. I feel like i'm getting closer to who I wanna be when I grow up.

- A good person.

But I guess that goal needs to be more defined.

PRAY for my dreams okay?

Because I know FOR SURE(fo shizzle ma nizzle) that He can make them come true. :)

I am doing my 6th Major!~ I should've done psychology homg!

Trait Explanations
In order to interpret your raw trait scores, they were compared to the first 350,000 people to complete the full MyPersonality Big Five questionnaire. This allows the way that you described yourself to be put in the context of how other people respond to the questionnaire. You should remember that there are no fundamentally good or bad personalities, as each trait description has potential advantages and disadvantages. To help you reflect on these, you have also been given some questions which ask you to consider the implications of your trait descriptions. Other people viewing your personality profile will not be able to see these.
Openness
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 78.8% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is intellectually curious and appreciative of what you consider beautiful, no matter what others think. You might say that your imagination is vivid and makes you more creative than many others.
Reflective question: How important are your emotions in determining how you behave?
Conscientiousness
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer an organised, or a flexible, approach in life. Approximately 69.2% of respondents have a lower conscientiousness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who avoids foreseeable trouble through purposefully planning, and achieves success through persistence. From your responses it appears that you are reliable and prepared for life's challenges.
Reflective question: How do you feel when you are working with someone who is disorganised?
Extraversion
This trait refers to the extent to which you enjoy company, and seek excitement and stimulation. Approximately 65.5% of respondents have a lower extraversion raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is energetic and active. Your answers describe you as someone who enjoys and actively seeks out social occasions, and that you especially enjoy talking with a big group of people.
Reflective question: Do you prefer to be busy all the time? Why?
Agreeableness
This trait refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. Approximately 46% of respondents have a lower agreeableness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who gets along with people well, especially once they have proved themselves trustworthy to you. Your responses suggest that you do have a healthy scepticism about others' motives, but that doesn't stop you from considering others to be basically honest and decent.
Reflective question: In what situations are you co-operative? When do you enjoy competition?
Neuroticism (Emotional stability)
This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 16% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is calm and emotionally stable. Based on your responses, you come across as someone who is rarely bothered by things, and when they do get you down the feeling does not persist for very long.
Reflective question: When do your emotions (or lack of emotions) get in the way of good decision making?
Jungian Typology Estimate

Research has found that the Big Five personality traits are significantly related to Jungian Typology (e.g. the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). This is a popular alternative personality framework regularly used for personal development, in which Types are used rather than Traits. Based on your Big Five trait scores, your estimated Type is shown below (if you have already taken a Jungian Typology test and got a different result, this can be changed from the More Options section).
ENTJ
Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging
ENTJs often excel in business. They are assertive, outspoken, confident, outgoing, energetic, charismatic, fair-minded, and unaffected by conflict or criticism. However, other traits may lessen the impact of their strengths. They may appear argumentative, confrontational, insensitive, intimidating, and controlling. They can overwhelm others with their energy, intelligence, and desire to order the world around them. ENTJs tend to cultivate their personal power, and often end up taking charge of a situation that seems (to their mind, at least) to be out of control. Also, ENTJs seek knowledge, striving to learn new things, which helps them become good problem-solvers. They may be viewed by others as aloof and cold-hearted, since ENTJs appear to take a tough approach to emotional or personal issues. In situations requiring feeling and value judgments, ENTJs are well served to seek the advice of a trusted Feeling type.

What college major does your personality match?

Be aware that although personality is related to choice of major, there are many other factors that can influence whether you should choose a particular major or not! Obviously your interests, your strengths, your previous experience, and your future plans will all influence whether you should choose a specific major. Also, note that these predictions are based on information that MyPersonality has collected about what majors people with various personalities choose, and there is no guarantee that the particular personality styles that actually choose a major will be the ones who will be good at it!

Based solely on your personality trait scores, the closest college majors for your personality (out of 60 majors and "undecided"), ranked from closest to least close, are:

Today i met the...

2009-03-19T23:31:00.002+03:00

So today, after sleeping for less than 2 hours, I then proceeded with panda eyes for Pharmacology class. ( EXAM NEXT WEEK!!).

That was rather boring..

Then after that, 1 hour of 'train' lecture from the teacher who was NOSE DEEP in reading the Lecture on 'Peritonitis'. I did not manage to copy anything. And I usually pride myself in copying rather quickly ( and in so-so handwriting). Funnily, during the lecture, Chin was having a good talk in mandarin with Benjamin, not realizing that he was talking very loudly. The lecturer, extremely pretty but has the "I'm a hot shot serious surgeon, so I take myself too seriously to put makeup" look, even paused midway during the lecture and stared at him from the corner of her intense eyes.

After lecture was Gen. Surgery class. The teacher was late ( as usual) and then this really cute replacement teacher came in. He seriously reminded me of one of those 60's-70's Saturday Night Fever people, with the half zipped top revealing the vast lawn of chest hair underneath. Plus, the hair seemed to frame his bling-bling golden Russian Orthodox Cross around his neck. That aside, he was rather cute with his greenish-blue eyes and dimpled chin. :P We learned CPR and also about suppurative inflammation. Bla bla.

Then, headed over to Spartive for a long talk with the Bosses. :) Was fun, but midway had to go to the loo really bad ( hadn't gone the whole day) and thus couldn't concentrate on the last parts. The coca-cola did not help either. Hahaha. Diuretics.

Anyhoo, decided to go Ashan City with AK and Siva to go and buy some stuff that I needed. I really needed some of that waterproof boot spray for my shoes so I got them, as well as snacks, chicken, chocolate... Spent about 900 rubles. Not bad. (RM 90) While I was waiting around the frozen food section, I met the most religious food product ever. HAHAHA So I whipped out my camera to take a piccy.

World's Most Religious PRAWNS.

Wurve you!

I'm Not Dead.

2009-03-16T00:32:00.002+03:00

As you can see.. I am still alive and kicking, as people would know. :D I would like to revive this thing again. :)

And I would like to start with the fact that I've been active on Facebook and so you should go check that out instead! May Shi Leong. :)

[ Already 1 minute in and i'm diverting you AWAY from this page.]

CAMWHORE!

Stay tuned.

Life isn't always that hard.

2008-10-14T00:06:00.001+04:00

Last Sunday was pretty interesting. I gave 2 sermons and listened to 3 sermons. All in one day.

Hahaha.

The first was at 10am in McDs, sermon given by Dalvin.
Second sermon was at 11am in Church, given by Ps. Rick Lang (interesting testimony)
Third sermon at 3pm in Moomoo Frunzenskaya, given by Me to Ann
Fourth Sermon at 9pm in Hostel, given by me to Tze Yang
Fifth sermon at 10pm in Hostel, given by Tze Yang.

GREAT DAY!! Couldn't be more pleased.

Well, in response to a friend's predicament, something just struck me. So i've decided to write a little bit. :)

-~-

Someone once told me that if you can find out your God given gift and use it, you will become the best in the whole world, and be able to glorify God, as God glorifies you.

Whatever my talent is, I hope to find out soon, because I would like to be the best in the whole world. But I just realized that with my attitude right now, I probably don't deserve to find out my gift, because I would use it to glorify myself instead of Him.

Anyhoo, the thing is that many times we find people suffering at what they do, hating their jobs, and dreading the next day that they have to drag their feet out of bed to sit behind a desk all day, while they dream of what COULD be. And some others, keep on heading in one direction while doing so badly at it, when they don't realize that if they headed in the opposite way they would probably do so much better, and at the same time be happier.

Billy was a school drop out and if you made him sit in a class and do Calculus all day he'd probably go bonkers. Instead he found his gift ( obviously not Calculus) and voila! Bill Gates made Microsoft. Okay so probably some of you reading may hate Microsoft, but we cannot deny all the good that it has brought to this world, and lets face it, many people are willing to pay big bucks for it. So we see Billy rolling in the Benjamins. Billions of Benjamins.

Yes, and like Ingvar Kamprad, Ikea founder, another big name with big bucks, made solutions for people and people were willing to pay for it. Especially for students in Moscow who love to decorate their rooms, us students probably contribute to a large portion of his income.

Anyway, maybe in your life you feel like you are heading in direction opposite of where you should be going, why not make a change? Why not find something you love doing? Because I think that God has given us clues on what our gifts are... It's something that we love doing. Now don't give me some excuse like " I love watching TV", "I love sleeping". Okay probably you would like to work as some dude at the TV Censorship Department, but I feel that that would be rather boring when you have to watch things over and over again, probably takes the fun out of watching tv.

I feel that this mystical something that you love doing is probably going to be something productive, and life changing. I believe that God gift would probably be something way better than 'The gift of watching TV". He wants something bigger for you and me!!

The Bible says this-
Romans 12:6 - We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him ogvern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Some people will say " oh but I am forced to do this, oh but I need fo feed my family, oh my parents are making me do this. I believe where there's a will there's a way. Pray about it. Life doesn't have to be that difficult. It shouldn't be. Because He can open doors that no one can close. :)

A _______ in time saves nine.

2008-10-12T07:22:00.003+04:00

HAHAHA I'm here again.

I've decided to use ebuddy to sign into MSN from now on. Skype works excellently but there is no point in using it because no one else does, so then what's the point of a chat application :)

Spent the whole of Saturday evening in the hostel. Actually there was an open house in Spartive but I needed to prepare for MF so that's why I didn't go. The juniors did though, and so they came back too late for praise and worship, which means Julian kinda neglected his responsibilities. It's the first time, so I won't get so mad, but if this continues, he's in for a lecture. Being a leader also means being on time!!

What is it with people these days about punctuality and responsibility? I find myself coming on time, and then waiting for people. GARGH it is very annoying!! I'll understand if you've had a prior appointment, and you call to let me know earlier, but these people just have bad time management, like sleeping late and waking up late, I mean if you know yourself and you know you can't wake up on time in the morning, then please do go to sleep earlier.

Gotta get ready for church soon. it's now 726 am and I am awake early because we need to leave at 815am.. those people better be there on time or else it'll ruin my whole day. Hehe definitely we'll make it for McZaftrak ( Breakfast Menu) because we're supposed to be meeting Dalvin at McDs at 930am.

A ______ in time saves nine.

What goes in the blank? I forgot, but I just wanted to have a little saying in my article, just that I forgot the words. LOL

A click.. a nick.. STITCH! (googled that)

Well to my late friends, if you ever read this, please know that if you come and wait downstairs a little earlier, then we leave on time, you don't have to rush all the way to church like a mad person needing to go to the toilet.

The quick brown cat jumps over the sleeping girl.

-maySH

MEOW!

2008-10-11T07:41:00.003+04:00

There is a cat in my room.

There is a cat on my bed.

There is a cat on my lap.

The cat woke me up today.

The cat walked on my face as I was sleeping.

The cat proceeded to trample all over me.

The cat took a dump on my bed.

The cat reminded me that internet is good in the mornings and that I should wake up.

HEHE. And no, it didn't take a dump on my bed. YET.

Was practising for tonight's MF with Julian yesterday. MAN I feel so happy that I have a partner to play with.. And he's so crazy, keeps on singing weirdly. :) And he knows many new songs, and he taught me a few yesterday. Thank God!

Went out with Ann last night.. met her at McD's but I didn't eat there! ( I know, I so dodged that temptations LOL - like seriously, I have never walked into McDs without eating something in it. :) perhaps I was abit full after eating that whole can of tuna earlier. Gee I feel more cat-like now.

MSN won't sign in and it's driving me bonkers!

I am such an internet addict to wake up at 730 am to use it.

That's all. Pharmacology is killing me too. Too many things to know.

love love you you all all MWAH

-ms

The days are much brighter on the DARK side!

2008-10-09T01:31:00.003+04:00

It's rather interesting, that they days just seem to get better and better. And the bad days don't actually seems so bad.

COOLNESS.

Yeah, today we got the guitar for the Malaysian Fellowship! Yay! Now Julian can play while we have prayer meeting. When you are responsible with little, He gives you more!

Kahov internet is really bugging me. The worse thing about having no internet is having BAD internet. I'll say man.. You waste time clicking on the refresh button over and over again, but an hour later you end up getting nowhere except annoyed that you wasted an hour. Then you end up feeling guilty. Yeah, God is trying to discipline us because the only webpage that works fast is WIKIPEDIA (extremely useful for studying ANYTHING under the sun). I kid you not. Even stuff like Blogger is kinda crappy. So I had better copy and save this post, because it might not publish at all.

Having slow internet is also a good way to make you wake up earlier, to beat the traffic, especially since the medical students here go by the 'sleep late -wake up late' routine, we can get good internet in the wee hours of the morning. Good also that Malaysia is ahead of Moscow by 4 hours, so at least I will be able to catch daddy at the office, or whoever is online at that time. =)

I think I am rather optimistic considering I think majority of people would have just splurted out a string of flowery negative words at the sucky-ness of the internet. ;)

Ladeeda. But one thing has been really bugging me la, and I kinda need to straighten hings out with the person, who also reads this blog. ( it may be YOU! )

Also, Happy belated birthday to my dearest STEFFIE! mwah mwah mwah mwah! I miss you lots, and I hope you're having a great time there in Glasgow. I hope you got my SMS, and if you didn't, don't be angry that I didn't wish you, I did NOT forget. I even put a message on Facebook just in case the SMS didn't get through ( yes, I have exhausted all methods of getting in contact with you, especially considering the condition of my internet).

And in the mood of birthdays, happy be-early birthday to DOINKY! my psychopsychicpsychadelic friend who has now gotten a year older, but also a year wiser.
So hopefully that means you will be able to do better in your exams that are coming up soon!
Don't be sad that Miss Scarlett J is now married. ;)

Speaking of music right, I kinda made up this tune. But it has no words. Because I have no inspiration yet. I don't know what to make my first song about.

Indonesia Trip

2008-08-26T18:22:00.001+04:00

An article I wrote about my Mission Trip to Indonesia.

Indonesia, in my mind was a place rather similar to Malaysia, a place filled with Malays with their headscarves, professing Islam as their religion. When I reached Medan, I was proven wrong. Driving along the streets from the airport to Bukit Doa, I saw that there were so many churches around, and to my surprise, the pastor said that Christianity is the religion of about 50 percent of the population in Medan. I remember thinking about Malaysia, and how few Christians there are, and wonder how the missionaries did such an amazing job in Medan. How can I change my own country?

Upon arriving to Bukit Doa, I saw the ‘church’. A rundown building with peeling paint the size of a badminton court, it looked like if the wind blew even slightly, their church hall would fall down like a house of cards. Next to it, Sunshine Kindergarten, an even smaller building with orange brick walls covered with a zinc roof and two more buildings for the family running the church. Behind this compound, the rehabilitation centre, which frankly looked like a prison, sent chills down my spine. We were definitely far away from the comforts of home.

That Sunday, God taught me an important lesson, you don’t have to dress in flashy clothes, you don’t need to have a nice church hall - all you need is a sincere heart to worship God. They came in their best - best clothes, although to us it might seem torn and tattered; best smiles, leaving their problems behind; best attitude, to worship their one and only God. About 30 children arrived travelling in the back of a pick up truck under the scorching Sunday sun. The rest came by trishaw or they just walked. But when they started to worship God, one word came to my mind – wow. I was helping out in the Children’s Church in City Harvest Medan, and the children, aged from 3 to 12 just kneeled, closed their eyes, some with their hands on their hearts, others hands raised just started worshiping the Lord. They sang so loudly and beautifully as they kneeled and their honesty in their worship just brought tears to my eyes.

The next challenge for me was quite a tough one, just learning to trust God. For many people, most of the time God lives in theology, in theory, and we think that when the situation arises we will be able to overcome it in a Christ like way, but yet we never really know until we have to face it ourselves. I was assigned to preach a message in a crusade that was held in Pasar IV village. Well the first obstacle for me was stage fright, and I wasn’t confident in myself to stand in front of a crowd for more than half an hour, let alone be able to deliver a proper message, especially for many of these people who have probably never heard about Jesus or God before. The idea of me giving them their first glimpse of God was horrifying. What if I misrepresented God? I’m not a pastor, not even an outstanding Christian. On top of that, just a few hours before I needed to go and preach, I burnt my leg on the motorcycle exhaust. I didn’t admit it at the time, but it hurt badly. Before we started the crusade, the team prayed, and with everything I had, I prayed for confidence, and I remember just surrendering everything, I mean, everything to God. I asked for Him to talk through me, and let His words come from my mouth. And then it was show time.

I stood in front of a crowd of about 60 people and started with a prayer. As I was praying I just felt Him taking all my worries away. I started preaching, and the longer I talked, the more confident I felt. The words just flowed out of mouth. For about 35 minutes I stood in front preaching and it was time for alter call. I just thank God for using me to save souls that day. After that I felt liberated, the feeling of being able to do anything great with God by your side.

Besides that, Medical aid was also another challenge for us. None of the team members were doctors, and as a result we were feeling a rather anxious about treating patients. What more I, being a second year student having to diagnose and treat patients? When we saw the queue of patients waiting for treatment, we were so afraid but just started praying and then started work. Once again, God never fails to help us; he guided our hands and gave us wisdom to treat the patients. I really thank Him also for the opportunity that he gave us to be able to treat these villagers, because they would not be able to afford any medical treatment. The money that was spend buying drugs, although very little, was a big blessing to them, and certainly their health and wellbeing is worth much more than the money spent. I have also gained so much medical experience from the Medical Aid.

As a team, I see that God has put us all together for a reason. Before this mission trip, we wouldn’t even talk for more than 5 minutes, although we attend the same church, serve in the same ministries, and are members of the Malaysian Fellowship. We all took the people around us for granted, and just stuck to our own cliques. But God puts people in our lives to teach us new and different things, and I believe that each and every single member of the team has brought something new to the table, and when we worked together we functioned as a cohesive unit. We learnt to appreciate everything that God has given us, yet not to let the material possessions stand in the way of our relationship with God. Above all, our faith in the Lord has grown so much, and we can really see how God does great things in our lives.

HEYY

2008-06-09T01:04:00.002+04:00

Hey ya'll.. i know that it's been a long time since I posted. Yes, I have many stuff to blog about actually, about a MONTH AGO ( wow it's been a long time) I went for this camp where we cleaned up garbage from a river in Moscow!

Yes at least we do something good for the environment here too :) It was really fun, we built a raft, and we FLOATED along a river for a few hours. And after passing throught some interesting obstacles, we finally made it to the point in the river where stuff was getting stuck. Somehow or rather, there was like a piece of solid ground blocking the river flow.. Maybe someone threw a big piece of wood there, and slowly the mud and dirt collected around it, eventually there was like a big tanjung in the middle of the river, HAHA and everything was just getting stuck there. It was like a giant water filter, just that no one went to change the filter inside :P Awfully dirty ( will show you) and there was even a dead DOG floating.

Guess what, guys, i'll be on my way back on the 21st of June. I'll be arriving like on the 22nd or something, so anyone who wants to find me please gimmie a call @home or HP. Same number la. The 019-**3 ***3 number. :) Yeah. What else... MY GIRLS- Steffie, Lynn, Kwan, Jun, Jo, CJ..if anyone of you are in Malaysia from 21st June to 28th Aug, then please please find me! :) I dunno what ur plans are, I think Stef, Lynn, Kwan and Jun will be around right? Jo and CJ i'm not too sure.

Yayyyy, so happy to go home and see mommy, daddy, juju, dolly, panda, ahMa, bessha! Whoopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Every year it's just so fun to look forward to coming home and enjoyinh FAMILY time. :)

From the 1-10 August, i will be going on a Mission trip to Indonesia. I will be doing Medical Aid ( I so need to learn up some skills too! )

Hey i'm really sleepy now.. GOODNIGHT!

May's Bday SURPRISES!

2008-05-16T22:21:00.006+04:00

So my 8th of May was just normal at first.. for lunch though I was suppose to meet Rema at McDs. So I went to Lubyanka Metro to the Detski Mir ( Children's World) because I needed to buy some coloured paper... on my way back at about 2.00pm, I got to the metro and needed to take one station backward and I realized that there was something wrong with the line! So after waiting for like 10 mins I decided to take a longer way back... Had to change lines like 3 times.. What was like a 3 minute journey took 2o minutes.

When I reached Okhotni Ryad metro, I realized why the line was not working. Somehow or rather, the line was backlogged due to the preparations for Victory Day Parade ( 9th May) @ Okhotni Ryad ( where the Red Square and Kremlin is).

Not only were the trains not working, the shopping mall was CLOSED. So I had to go to the McD's a little further away. Earlier that day I thought that since it was my bday I would wear something a little nicer, so I wore my boots. Haha.. my feet hurt after all that walking while changing trains and walking to McDs.

I got there and.. saw Wak, Hadri, Hannan, Lah, Girish, Rema etc were there. After about 20 minutes, Jijah came! HAha.. she came with my cake(1). So cute of her, she said that she had to carry the cake in the metro with all the congestion ( especially with the line being held back) and she also carried a KNIFE in the train. She said this to me " mayshi, because of you i'm a pengganas dalam metro today!" awww.. so sweet! She also said that in the bus a person asked her : " You like Russian cakes?".

The embarassing thing is that.. we sang a birthday song so LOUDLY in the very crowded McD. ( you must know that McD's in Russia is like a hawker centre, always always packed) BUT.. thanks group 7 and 8! Also thanks to Sally, Yan, Ira, Dya, Ika..

I brought the cake to class and then let some people finish the remainder of the cake. :)

In the evening I had dance practice, so Kenix, Vashni, Ann, and Shoba came over to Kahov. In the middle of dance practice, these people (and more) came...

left clockwise: Syafiq, Jason, Kishan, Abi, Quan, Christopher,
Hannan, Xin Yun, Din, Hadri, Sotet, Shamene

with these cakes..

Chocolate cake
(#2 with lots of cream, happens to be the exact same cake I had for lunch with Rema)

Bread pudding cake, (#3) with custard @ centre, chosen by Yun Ying (block mate)

me cutting the cake.. Cake being held by Xin Yun with Alyssa looking on..

Kishan, Sotet, Chris

OOh.. AHH.. it's cake..

And then I did this...
Actually no I didn't do that.. why would I waste a cake on Christopher's face..

Thanks guys!

Dear Mayshi...

Happy Birthday girl! So now you're 19? Old already. And just last year you thought you were 18 and the time passed so quickly. :) Oh well, that's life isn't it.. as you grow older the time seems to move faster and faster. Time waits for no man! Seems like time is being like the 21st century. FAST. How ironic, the faster you do things, the faster time passes.

Anyway, my dear, since you're older now, it means more responsibilities. I hope that you take up the challenge, because once the time passes, it's gone forever. Also, don't be so afraid of new things, don't shoot new ideas down just because you think it's impossible. Be positive and have faith that God will help you through. Remember what you told me? God already has all your successes accomplished, you just need to go out there and grab it.

Just make sure you get your priorities right and plan your time properly. I know you always procrastinate so I hope that you change that too. :) And remember to be good! Don't say bad things about other people, don't take things for granted. Don't expect things to stay the same forever. Be discplined and don't slack. :) Hold on to what you believe in, don't change just because people have different opinions than you, but if you're wrong, take it graciously! Don't be a sore loser.

I hope you take my advice! Take care and talk to you soon. :)

Love you!

CARROTS vs. CABBAGES

2008-04-27T20:08:00.005+04:00

Hey people.. I thought that it was just a couple of days that passed since i last updated. Well, now it's already been a few weeks!

Been busy examing. In the past few days I took my microbe, physio, biochem tests. All good. Oh you should know for my biochem I stayed up the whole night studying, but praise God, when the mcq tests came back i got 92! It just shows that you can do something totally wrong, but God can change anything to his will. In the same way, you could do something exactly the right way, but when he wants, he can make it fail totally.

Yesterday was M nite.. Moscow Rangoli Night. Well, it was a collection of 20 dances. BORING. :P Waste of time and money. I've got some constructive critism so if you wanna know please ask me. :) If not then I shan't even waste my words.

Patho exam tomorrow. :)

-~-

Stuff just keeps on coming up lately. Sometimes I wonder, looking at busy people.. do they spend their life just going along doing things.. being pushed by the flow, going along with the current, or are they doing what they WANT to do? Making waves, making a difference. It seems sometimes we are so bogged up with 'life' that we forget that we should be living..

So sometimes when you feel that you're in over your head.... just STOP, and think about life and whether that is what you wanna do. I always thought that now that I'm studying that my life should just come to a screeching halt.

But looking at my seniors and they've given me inspiration to think that... living should not end just because you are studying, or working... work is something that we need to put food on the table, for our physical bodies, but we still need to feed our soul to be living.

This past week I was just thinking that is it worth sacrificing sleep for studying? Well, don't take this as the only example, many times we sacrifice things that are important to us in order to do things that URGENT at the moment. For example, in some families, where parents spend time working, and not with their families. I guess what i'm trying to say is we have to learn to prioritize. When we leave this earth, we will leave ALL of that money, all of the fame, all the glory, all the things we own, we leave the Earth in the same conditions we came when we came out from our mother's womb. Instead what we would bring is God, and all the experiences we gained on Earth.

To me it seems like when we work to hard for things of the Earth, it's like the scene when we hang a stick with a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. And the donkey tries to grab the carrot, the donkey runs, runs, in all directions.. spins around, runs faster, but in the end, he will never get the carrot. He wastes his time, his energy, his life for something that he will never actually own.

On the other hand, we could say - why should the donkey chase the carrot, when if he looks to the things NOT immediately ahead of him ( looks further behind the carrot) he sees something more permanent. Something fixed, something not moving relative to him, say a field of cabbages, planted in the soil. When he runs to the cabbages, the cabbages don't run away from him, the cabbage is the ABSOLUTE. If he runs, in time he will reach the cabbages and have his fill. So now, which are you chasing? The temporary CARROTS or the absolute CABBAGES?

So.. now, maybe we think we maybe looking to the future when we work hard to get money, but try looking EVEN further ahead. WAY WAY down the road, after this life has ended... Maybe we should start preparing now? In my opinion, Earth is just like a prep-school, or schooling years, where you learn and gain all the knowledge possible, to equip you for what comes after.
HEAVEN.

May you make the right decisions in life. :)

To my dearest friend CJ!

Which is worse? To leave of to get left behind?

This week has just been CRAP for me.

Last Sunday I went to church like normal, and then shifted stuff to the new Church building. Spent the whole day out and got back at about 8pm. It was a pretty satisfying day.. I mean.. moving a church.

Until I got back and signed on to MSN. And then.. I saw it...

"RIP Andrew."

I was like.. no... .

That VERY SUNDAY Pastor Kevin asked the church:
"Who wants to go to heaven?"
And the whole church raised their hands.

then he asked...
" Who wants to go to heaven, TODAY?"
Some hands dropped.

Looks like Andrew moved on today.

Damn.

20 years is too soon. TOO SOON.

He never got married. He never got kids. He never got that dream car he wanted. He never travelled around the world.

I know that I am not in a position to write about this, or even feel sad, but I am. I cried in the shower, and then cried myself to sleep.
I don't think I've ever spoken to him.
And i've known him since Standard 5.
I guess we've crossed paths, but just never hit into each other.

But is death the end of life?
Nope. He still lives on in us.

Please don't let him die in vain.

I can see with my own eyes.. the kind of unity we DJians have, it's just so sad that it took a tragedy like this to discover it.

10 000

2008-04-05T02:08:00.006+04:00

Listening to: Just A Little While- Janet Jackson.
Yay! it's taken sooo long. like about 3 years. So now, I have 10000 views. No biggie actually.

So.. sorry I haven't been updating. Kinda bogged down with studies, esp. biochemistry, which seems to have pending MCQ tests. The best part is today, when I went for Russian class, now I will even need to do a test every class. EVERY CLASS.

Thank God that I finished my surgery class last Thursday.

In 2 weeks though I will have ALL exams together. Biochem, Microbe, Physio. I hope patho will be later at least.

Just now went to Spartive for choir practice. MF will be leading praise and worship in Sunday service and for Love factor on the 12th. hehehe.. the songs are cool. Check out Hillsong's Break Free, from their album Savior King! It's like the kind of song that you can bang your head to. :)

Oh and SADLY, International Christian Assembly (ICA) Moscow will be moving to some place at the far end of the Red Line. You see, in Moscow, property is expensive and the church cannot afford to purchase a building of its own, so they rent hotel halls, or multipurpose buildings to conduct church services. It's kinda difficult because every couple of years or so we move to another place. But it certainly makes for a different experience. So now, the far end of the Red Line is way way way farther than where it usually was.

Hehe. Okay, so I defamed the metro map a little. So let me just show you what i'm talking about.
I live at X. Metro Sevastopolskaya. To travel to Metro Spartivnaya :( where church used to be would take about 40 minutes? Now I have to travel all the way up to CHERKIZOVSKAYA METRO which would take an hour. And just for reference, the red square at the center is.. well.. where the Red Square is. And the Kremlin's there too.

There's this really cute story about how the metro map we see there came about. You see, during Stalin's time there was that metro map there, without the Brown (Ring) Line. And what happened was Stalin was in his room with a cup of coffee, when someone proposed a change to the metro system. So Stalin said he would think about it, and placed his coffee cup on the metro map. So the coffee stain resulted in the Ring Line!! It's not a true story by the way.

OKAY, and finally.. let me introduce to you.. my new FAVOURITE SINGER.
'Sara Beth Bareilles is a singer-songwriter and pianist. She has been compared to Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, and Joni Mitchell despite her lack of formal training in either voice or piano.' (basically meaning she self-taught herself the piano?! is it?)

Goes to show that the most educated doesn't always mean most successful. :) I LOVE HER!

She's so pretty! Her latest album is Little Voice. I so want this album.

She became famous on iTunes, when they put her song "Love Song" as a free download. Can't wait to hear more from her in the future! Love the song Vegas, especially the live one.
Fairytale is so cute too. Her voice is just amazing!

Go check her out!

The power of prayer

2008-04-01T15:32:00.001+04:00

Got this in my email today.

Pray for him please.

I believe in the power of prayer.

"Dear Brothers & Sisters in christ

please join me in prayer as you read this:

Andrew Yap, SMKDJ, Graduation Year 2005

"Andrew Yap from DJ is in ICU. He fell and hit his head and his brain shifted. He's still unconscious even after the surgery. Docs say he's not recovering, please pray for him."

- Ee Fei

In the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit

Dear Lord,

Omnipotent and eternal God, the everlasting Salvation of those who believe, hear us on behalf of Thy sick servant, Andrew Yap, for whom we beg the aid of Thy pitying mercy, that, with his bodily health restored, May he be healed by the Holy Spirit and May You Shower Him with your utmost love and mercy. May he wake up from his surgery as he has not waken up since then.

Jesus, Your array of miracles, A true manifestation of Your Divinity, Draws the admiration of searching souls. Never let it be said, "Miracles do not exist!". You are the living example of such actions. Bless us with the faith to always believe, To affirm the Supreme Power of Your miracles, Be they of a physical or spiritual nature. We believe that our friend Andrew will wake up and be healed by your healing hand.

In your most precious name, Christ Our Lord

Amen.

* Pls forward to anyone you know and thank you for taking time in praying for him"

i'm PRETTY DAMN SURE Mr XXX's not a virgin.

The funniest statement in years.

And I came up with it. Genius right?

DON'T ASK.

Mommy, Happy Birthday

2008-03-27T00:37:00.002+03:00

Hey ma.. happy birthday!
You're one year older now. Actually I feel sad because every year you get older.

Sometimes I think it would be nicer to just grow to a certain age and stay that way.

Like in Heaven it is said that you get eternal youth and you can do what you wish to accomplish forever and ever. If I went then maybe I would go to Cambridge, learn to play the violin, trabel to outerspace because I'd have all the time in the world. How nice would that be?

Yesterday night I was just thinking about you, and then I started crying. I cried because I couldn't be with you on your birthday, and for the past 6 months since I was away, this is the first time that I felt like I really wanted to go back. I think that for the next 4 years it will be the same. Especially now as I grow older and really appreciate what you've done for me all your life.

Ma, thanks so much for everything. Right now for your birthday I guess there is nothing much that I can buy with money that would really help you in your life. If I could buy good health or happiness then maybe. But since I can't so I suppose that the best that I can do is just pray for you, and hope for the best in your life.

I know that you've given up so much for us, I know that you life is practically dedicated to us, everyday you work, everything you say, everything you do is for us, and I don't know how you do it day after day after day, but I thank you so much and I love you so so much.

Sometimes I wish that Juju could know about how I feel right now, and then maybe he would listen to you more. But I know that he's a good kid.. he does think about stuff like this, and he does care about his studies and stuff like that, just that sometimes he's stubborn and wants to do his own stuff. I just hope that he'll realize sooner. But I can tell that he's growing up, and he does think about life, and he does check on himself too, that's the most important thing, to know that you are wrong and then try to fix it.

But sometimes I wish that you could be happier.. you go to work and come back from work so late, I get really worried because you come back so late, and maybe you feel sleepy and then you drive so fast some more. Mum, you should really take care of yourself. Don't go and work so late. Don't get yourself into accidents or stuff, don't get sick..and don't be so stressed up all the time.

One day when I earn money then you don't have to work anymore la. You should just retire and relax, don't have to be so stressed out all the time, and work like a crazy person. I know you have to do the work of 2 parents, and I know that its really hard, and i'm really sorry that I've made you angry in the past when it comes to this, I guess I was inconsiderate and then never thought that it was so hard to do what you do.

But I hope that you understand that daddy's my parent too and I can't bring myself to ask from daddy for money.. I know that you still don't agree with me because maybe you're angry with him, but I guess I don't feel that way about it, although I know that he hurt you.. Argh I don't know how to figure this out. It's something that I know troubles me everytime.. and I know that Juju feels the same also.. Anyway, i'm sorry if I hurt you, i know you always were angry about this when I tried to talk about it with you, but I still don't know I guess it's just my problem and I need to be more brave about it.

So right now mom, i'm just really sorry for all the times that I've hurt you, but I hope you know that I love you, and you are really the greatest mom a person could ever have. All the time I tell people that my mom is the greatest mom ever.

Happy birthday, ma.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

This is what I did over Easter weekend.

nice right?!!

It's the backdrop for church.

The pictures are a lil dark.. Left : Melvyn, Joanna, Me, Flora, Alyssa and the oh-so-tall Angeline.

"Where is the sexiest stone?!?"-Alyssa

Last Friday I did my biochemistry exam. Actually was supposed to do it the week before but then we would've had 3 exams in that week, and usually by the last day of the week you're already burnt out. So we decided to boycott it. What happened was the teacher still wanted to take the exam and she made us do the computer MCQs. For your information, I can honestly say, those MCQs are just meant to kill you. :) So since she made us do it,and i didn't study by the way, so I just went in and did it. I got a 55. :P:P Anyway, whatever. So once you do it, you cannot redo it again. And it'll affect the mark of your written test. You won't score as high as you actually did with a failed MCQ. So I went into class and told her my marks. This was 2 Fridays ago by the way.

So last week, I studied and then went for the exam on Friday. And I did my written exam, and I think i did pretty well.. And then, I was thinking, maybe I could just go into the computer room and just try the MCQ again to see what I will get, and just to learn from my mistakes. And I had to do another kind of drag and drop, where we had to fill in the pictures of the structure of chemical molecules into metabolic pathways.

And so I did the metabolic pathway questions first, and I got 100 for that. And then I redid the MCQ for fun, and got 90. So I went in to the teacher and told her the marks for metabolic pathway questions, little did I know she forgot, or 'choose to forget' to write down the marks for my MCQ the week before. SO, I think I should be able to get a 5 for my exam this time!! YAY. Praise God.

And today, I did my pathology exam. And I didn't really have much time to study, since only I had Saturday, and Sunday, and was quite busy with banner painting etc etc.. BUT!, I still got a 5. :)

Just shows that you don't have to study hard, but study smart and just have faith. :)

So right now,I'm going to sleep. I've got the flu because of the weather change recently. It seems to be getting warmer. It snowed again on Easter. Just like last year, except last year was CRAZY heavy.. like this...

Just after church ended.. from inside a restaurant.. It was actually totally not white.. just green grass, you can see the snow starting to become more..

And THEN.. 1 hr later..

signing out. Happy Easter!

Hey people.. it’s the end of the week again! YAY! This weekend I’m really happy because I finished 2 exams this week, and got 5 for both of them. Whoopee. Okay, so right now I just wanna post something because it’s really funny.

In Russia, the phone lines aren’t that good, every 5 minutes or so you talk and then the line just cuts off. Or maybe it’s just the problem with the people’s phones. Imagine this scenario, where there are 2 people who are fighting over the phone… And so what happens is that Girl is mad at Boy. So, the conversation goes something like this:-

Girl: “ I’ve got nothing to say to you already, I don’t wanna talk to you anymore..
Boy: “ No but I wanna talk some more…”
Girl: “ But I’m lazy to talk to you already. I don’t wanna continue this conversation …”
Boy: “ We should discuss…”
**beep beep, Phone cuts…**
Then Girl calls back.
Girl: “ I don’t wanna talk to you anymore.”
Boy: “ Please lah, talk to me…”
Girl: “ Don’t want la!”

So.. Does anyone get what’s so funny?
( Hint: Then the Girl calls back.)

Just an interesting observation is all.

Is there a science which studies the behavior of people and their interactions with other people? Is that psychology or sociology? What is sociology anyway?

Oh, by the way, my internet isn’t working again. Stupid. But we don’t have any other option for internet lines so.. I guess we’re stuck, isolated from the world, destitute and deprived... *right…;)*

Hungry now.. I’ve been eating a lot of fried foods lately. BAD BAD.

Bitch and Rant post.

2008-03-10T21:44:00.002+03:00

I may be PMS-ing today.

I am sooo angry with 'you', whoever you are out there, who in your hands right now have a whole stack of my Physio lecture notes.

PLEASE GIVE THEM BACK TO ME.

I will cry soon. You can't take them because I've taken so long to write them and you take it away from me.

I just feel like shouting at you right now. I want it BACK!!!

I'm crying right now as I write this, and you should know that when my hp got stolen I didn't shead a tear.

GIVE ME MY FREAKING LECTURE NOTES BACK. You're not the only one who needs to use them. If you don't go for freaking lectures does that give you the right to take mine?

It would be really easy for me to NOT LEND THEM OUT ANYMORE right?

But I can't bring myself to turn down all the people who ask it from me. Every time people ask me for my notes i am reminded of the fact that SOMEONE HAS TAKEN IT.

WAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!H@!@$%^&*&^%$#@!

GIVE

IT

BACK

NOW!!!!

Happy Women's Day!

2008-03-07T17:37:00.003+03:00

Happy Women's Day!

8th of March is Women's Day all around the world ( Just in case you didn't know). And in Russia they take it very seriously. Today I was travelling to and from class and I see many many many women holding flowers. I myself did my share of holding flowers.. to be delivered to a woman.. Alas, I did not receive any! But!... the day has not ended yet. ;) Lol.

Well the reason why they take Women's Day so seriously in Russia is because back in those days, the men would be out fighting wars but the women would be at home running the house...and soon they became independent of the men ( you go, girl!).

HAHA and I noticed today I got very nice treatment, which is rare around these parts.. People were smiling at me, and I was wondering.. "was I dressed weirdly?" " Is there something in my hair?"... and everyone was laughing out loud and... happy. Which is weird. And freaky.

So, to end the week and celebrate Женский День, I decided to go shopping and spend some money on myself. DUH.

I've been wanting to get some shoes, and I found these on sale.

So I took 'em. I mean.. bought 'em.

С праздником восьмой марта!

Updates!

2008-03-07T00:24:00.003+03:00

Wassup?

The weather's been really crazy this year. I mean check the date now, it's the 6th of March, but it's still freaking WINTER.

Yes, and I never took my mom's advice when I went out yesterday "dress warm or you'll get sick".
So we all know what happened to me yesterday.

I got sick.

As the Chinese people say, I got the 'winds'. Seriously, the wind was like damn DAMN strong yesterday, like you-can-lean-forward-but-not-fall kind of strong. So I had a fever yesterday. Slept most of the day, and popped a paracetamol, then slept some more. Had a general weakness in my body, with elevated temperature, and body aches throughout, but i'm better now.

So I didn't go for surgery class today. But I guess it's not that bad, they just sucked about 2 litres of fluid from the pleural cavity. And they repeated this procedure on 4 people. I guess I didn't miss much.

I wonder what they do with all that pleural fluid.

Next week got many many exams! Wednesday - Physio, Thursday-microb, and Fri - Biochem.

DIEEEEE! die die die die die die die...

But.. -"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

I can't agree more.

This is interesting. Who would you vote for this Saturday?

TRIBUTE

2008-02-28T00:50:00.019+03:00

Dear Bessha...

This place brings me good memories..
Those were the good days when we hung out together and played around..

....Seriously.. look at Juju.. he's so cute!

and look what happened to him now...

(Hahaha! he's so gonna hate me for this...)

And this reminds me...

... of the time I played monopoly with 8 REAL people. And I won. ( or I think I almost did)

- Now I just play with the computer.

...the time my mom showed me the GIANT CICADA..( yes Bessha, the bugs were huge and DISGUSTING!)

-The bugs have become smaller because we've all grown bigger...

Ah Ma has grown older too!

and even PANDA..

(he's to the left, so cute right?!!)

...and Cameron Highlands reminds me of the time someone told me that you sleepwalk, cousin..do you?!

It's a good thing you didn't wander off to those bushes while sleeping.. remember there were like anthills there, are they still there?

I remember that I would go over to Nai-Nai's house for Christmas...

but Juju and I wouldn't get many presents and I would be sad because I didn't feel very welcomed..(little kids ma...).. and there were many strangers there...

We never really did spend Christmas with you anymore after that...

But at least we were together at Uncle Martin's wedding!

still no presents though... and still many strangers around.

But I guess it's alright.. because you were there...

ahaha.. you dunno how much I love you hang out with you, you crazy girl!

And remember the time we painted our nails the same?! :P
PLUS...
We're both in medical school too! :P
Great minds think alike.

MMA and IMU
me and you.
(it rhymes! and my logo PWNS your logo!)

Love,
Mayshi

Italy in pictures , part 3

Perseus With the Head of Medusa (property of the Uffizi Gallery)
The head of Medusa...
is the logo of Versace!

The fantabulous DAVID - by Michaelangelo

The Fountain of Neptune by Bartolomeo Ammannati

Piazza Del Signoria, Florence, Italy! Behind me is the Uffizi Gallery and Perseus statue.

My mom is everywhere..

Day 4-Pisa

Classic pictures! The leaning tower of Pisa is actually a bell tower for the city of Pisa. The city was once a port town, like Malacca.
When they built the bell tower, at the 3rd floor they realized that the tower was leaning to one side, so they tried to correct the tilt, if you can actually see it. :) The leaning tower is going to fall soon.

Inside one of the cathedrals in Pisa.

Day 4- again in Florence/Firenze

Ponte( bridge) Vecchio! with shops piggybacking off it.

one of the statues on the bridge with shops hanging off it..

Day 5 - Rome/Roma

some of the many ruins..

you should go and see for yourself.. very old stuff.

Requires no explanation.

WOW! ( I took this picture by the way)

What a beautiful day. :)

sleepy face!

We wandered out very far from Rome city, we reached this Museum of Modern Arts or something...

This funny spindly building from across the river in Rome. Taken with my hp, zoomed. So the picture isn't so nice.

Spanish steps from above!

More spanish steps...
Trevi fountain! Throw a coin and you'll definitely come back to rome!
Beautiful right?!

Day 6- Vatican City

The FAMOUS VATICAN MUSEUM.* and I've been there.. dream come true! *

he Laocoon Group from the Hellenistic period (1st century BC). Check out his beard!

This was on the floor of one of the hallways..

Check out the ceilings, and long long corridors, and beautiful statues! leading me to...

THE SISTINE CHAPEL

overview...

Look up and you see this. Then strain your eyes to see the center picture... you see this....

What I came all the way to see.
God painted as a man. This is what Michaelangelo thought God would look like. :)

Look front.. also by Michaelangelo.

Door of St Peter's Basillica.

St. Peter's seat. I don't know if he really sat on it..because the seat is huge!

Look at how the carved marble looks like a piece of cloth.

The middle of the basillica has this...

This is a manhole or something. Even this looks pretty.

This is NOT a painting. It's a glass mosaic. How did they find all the right coloured glass?

Admiring the general splendour.

Must not forget to always look up!

Little metal holy people with funny hats on the doors!

The great outdoors.

See the funnily dressed Vatican guards? too bad it was a cold day, they wore overcoats. Or not they'd look like jugglers.

a fountain.

An obelisk. With egyptian heiroglyphics on it.

Close-up of the fountain!

St. Peter's Basillica.
The obelisk again.

Day 7: The Republic of San Marino

The republic on a hill.

COUNTRY map. LOL.

atop the roofs. Feel like yodelling.

Toy guns! But I bet they still hurt if you shoot 'em at someone.

cute car!

Finally.. I am done with ITALY. it took ages just to put up all those pictures.. :)

Italy in pictures. Part 2.

2008-02-20T01:17:00.005+03:00

Day 3: Florence/Firenze (don't you just love the name.. say it.. fiRENZE!.. grrrrr..)

A segway! Those things are cool. :)

Andrew?! I didn't know you had a tie shop in Florence.
(this refers to all the Andrews I know..;))

And I never knew my mom was a supplier of fruits in Italy. No wonder she loves eating fruits so much..

Check out the weird looking veggies.. Especially those veggies to the right of the brocolli.. They're like drills or something..

Gia..na...ni...na...ni...whaa..??

Check out this pulpit.. it's built on the pillar, and the way to enter is through a hole on the backside of this pillar. Interesting.

Tomb of Galileo Galilei. Remember he had problems with the Church? It took them about 90+ years AFTER he was dead to built this thing, and place his body inside. Before that, they kept his body in a little chapel beside this church.

Tomb of Charlotte Napoleon Bonaparte.

Giant music books!

I love this painting. The babies and the lady looks so chubby, and check out the babies' butts! Robust.

*something wrong with the internet now. Will continue later!

Italy in pictures.

2008-02-15T20:04:00.012+03:00

Have given up waiting for Shan to pass me them pictures. So here it is... ITALY! Beautiful place, beautiful people, and yummy food. :)

Day 1 : Verona
For all you Shakespearians.. you should know that Verona, Italy is the setting for Romeo and Juliet, yes it's a true story that happened way before Shakespeare's time, and somehow he got to know about it.

Juliet's statue. In Italian it's spelt as "Giulietta".Check out her boobs.

The balcony! "Romeo, Romeo.. where for art thou Romeo?"

And the people that come seriously wrote on the walls.. saying who they love etc.. I wrote too! Maybe if you wanna know what I wrote, you should go to Verona. :)

Funny 'flyaway' man in the square = Piazza. And it isn't the wind blowing him, it's just that his tie, and hat are fixed like that, and his umbrelly has been blown inside out!

This is cute, he stood infront of a car in which the driver wanted to get something from the boot, so what he did, the flyaway man stood still in front of the car for a good 5 mins in that position. And when the driver came back, he saw the flyaway man standing in front of the car and started laughing!
One of the many architectural ( is that right?) wonders of Italy.. but I don't know what it signifies. :P I think it's like some town council, or court or something.. whatever.

This picture is for Stefanie!

And what would Italy be without some of that good 'ol Golden Arches?! HAHA we didn't eat there though.. like every burger costs 5euro.. That's like RM25.

Day 2 Venice / Venezia

Le CanaleGrande! The Grand Canal. A dream come true for me.

The main piazza, Piazza San Marco in Venice. Juju, do you know that this reminds me exactly of Super Mario Sunshine? It seriously looks like that.

The kids are rowing gondola's across the canal.. Background is the Piazza San Marco.

The main street =Via. Packed with people because it's the first day of the mask festival!

One of the many many stalls selling masks.. Cheap ones go for about 10 euros. and expensive ones up to 35euro.

A sign on the main Via. I don't know what is says. It's in Italian.

One of the many canals that go through Venice. It's like a whole network of waterways behind people's houses.

Gondola port.

On the Gondola facing the Basilica San Marco.

ME and my Gondola partner, Shareen G. In the background is gondola man, Andreo! he didn't sing, he wistled. He also suddenly rocked the boat making us scream.

Some furnishings on the gondola.

Back part of people's houses.

Rusty gate.

Architecture.

Got our faces painted after that : this is me...

Shareen's face.. i like the colours..

A whole lotta people..

Piazza San Marco by night...

Day 3: Florence / Firenze

David and Goliath

Moses Recieves the Law

The Walls of Jericho

King Solomon and Queen of Sheba

Abraham sacrifices his son.
bibilical stories.. on gold doors.. :)
... will continue this post later! :)

Internet!

2008-02-09T02:01:00.000+03:00

Yay.. finally after waiting SO long for internet in my room, we have finally come full circle. No more will I need to go to other people's room to use internet!

Hey, Italy was amazing. I'll post up pictures when i've collected them all from other people. The thing was that I brought a 1GB card that wasn't enough, so I kinda asked many different people to take pictures of me with their camera. So now I need their pictures too! So when I get them all I'll definitely blog, post a whole lotta pictures to make up for all that time that I didn't blog.

Also, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to you all!
This was what I ate..

homemade noodles...

Homemade dumplings and soup...

4 of us eating together..! Hsiao Tien, Ji Ho, Kok Boon and mua!

Funnily, I ate that bowl of soup and dumpings and I was FULL. Like wanna explode. It's either my stomach shrunk or it was all that flour. It was almost 2kg of flour divided among the 4 of us. 500g/person. Haha!

happy belated new year.

2008-01-14T13:35:00.001+03:00

Happy new year to everybody!

Been studying for exams for some time now.. although i've gotten internet connection, I can't stay and talk much. Histology finals in 2 days time! and anat a week after that. Some crazy time right now, and after that i'll be going to Italy! Yay.

The internet connection is weird, I can't use mozilla to get into Hotmail OR blogger.. so i've decided to download Opera instead. That's why i'm here now. :) Apart from that everything's peachy. Must let you all know about our ChristmasBash Concert which came out in the NST though ( note the author of the article!) and also check out our Malaysian Fellowship blog!.. it's really cool..

mayshi and Jac! ( wow she's so damn good at singing! )

For the new year, I went with my friends to Moscow State University, apparently there would be a laser show there. So we left at about 10pm, and Sukhdev armed with Devil horn hairband tried to flag down a cab. (and we wonder why the cabbie didn't wanna offer lower prices...)

I was kinda hungry cause I hadn't had dinner so I decided to buy an ice cream and thinking, " Hey it wouldn't melt in the -6 deg outside..".

So we waited for the cab in the cold, and i think what kept me warm, was the ice cream.. HAHA.

Cab reached Universitet and there was this...

Moscow State Uni with laser show!

Giant Hummer Limo.. there were around 20 that day..

Abang Usop with Yem's uber cool video cam, in front of a big xmas tree!

Also many ppl playing with fireworks.. there was someone shooting it into the tree, I was so afraid tht the whole tree would explode and we would get electrocuted.
( the tree isn't really a tree, more like metal frame with lights hanging on it.. the lights change and can form words..)

After that we had to walk back to the metro, because the cabbies cost too much. So we walked like an hr plus in the cold.. we left at 12.30am, reached back home at 3. LAME. freaking cold too.

Anyway.. will post again soon.

And happy bday to Juju ( 1oth Jan) and Lynn (13 Jan)!

To the one I love the most...

2007-10-30T01:57:00.001+03:00

You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Hi!

2007-10-29T23:09:00.000+03:00

Hey dongs i'm so sorry that i've not been around for so long!

Well, erm.. it's going to snow tomorrow, in the middle of November!

What?!!!

Yeah. Means my shoes will be dirty again, but by the way I washed them already, currently they're pretty clean and white.

Anyway, right, just a shoutout to them STPMers.. GOOD LUCK, and I can feel your pain. Now i'm reminiscing about the time before SPM when we were going psycho!

So good luck to Junny, Calvin and Doinky. I wish you all the best, and happy MUGGING!

Also a quick hello to Steffie who's all the way in Glasgow, well technically, she's closer to me now than if she were in Malaysia.

Downloading music now, and Alyssa's driving me crazy, she wants this one sonG! So funny.

AMAZING GRACE

2007-09-22T14:30:00.000+04:00

The human brain (Encephalon)

Statistics :

A mass inside your skull weighing in about 1.5 kilograms.

Consisting of white matter and gray matter, arranged in a series of complicated layers.

Tissue composition : Neural and glial cells.

Consists of the telencephalon ( cerebrum), diencephalon (intermediate brain), mesensephalon, metencephalon and the medulla oblongata.

Amazing brain.

So many section of the brain, each with its own list of complicated functions, ranging from the way you can 'see with the back of your head’ and the way you feel those lovey-dovey emotions.

I’m studying about the brain right now, in anatomy, and I think, that this is the hardest organ to study. Why is it so hard? Because to me, it just seems like a big mass of tissue, and I am having trouble differenciating one part of it from another.

I’m trying to think of a metaphor right now to explain.. maybe like looking into a bowl of porridge and your teacher is saying “ the anterolateral part of the bowl contains the temporal lobe with a speech center.” YEAH. What the heck.

the brain has no physical borders to show the separation of the cortical centers for speech, sight, smell, taste, movement, sensation etc. So how can you say that the part of porridge where you see the piece of chicken floating is the part which controls smell? Why does the piece of salted egg help your eyes to see? After all it’s just salted egg, hard to differenciate from the rest of the rice bits in your porridge.

Not to mention, each brain is anatomically different. Thanks Darwin for variation and natural selection.. NOT!

But after all of that, you realize how amazing the brain is.

The mass of porridge in your brain controls YOU. Every single movement, emotion and process in your body.

It’s your iPod with never ending batteries,

your sim card in your N95 with infinite memory size,

your high end red Ferrari with NASA space shuttle engines,

your laptop with the terabyte RAM, 1000 series NVIDIA graphic card, Quadruple Core Processor, 100 GHz of speed...

whatever invention you can think of.

After all, it was all conceived from the mind of man, the porridge in your brain.

Look at Einstein's brain, does it differ from yours?So what are we doing with it?

(*if you wanna know why we see with the back our heads, just ask)

Settling Down again.

2007-08-31T17:02:00.000+04:00

Date.. 29^th August.

Hey hey everyone! Back in Moscow again. Right now I’m just typing an offline message, later I’ll upload this.

Anyway.. I arrived on a Friday evening, then paid for a taxi about .. RM400 to get me to the Deans office and then my hostel. The thing was that I didn’t manage to get on the 8.25am flight because the plane leaving KL was late an hour, which pretty much ruined my chances of getting back to the deans office before 5pm.

I reached the deans office at about 6 but duh, too late… so I went to Pushkin to stay. Luckily they let me stay there or else I wouldn’t have anywhere to stay for the next three days. Lucky me. But I didn’t have enough money after paying for the taxi, so I had to go change money at the money changer.. At that time I was quite tired already, and still had to go down the street to change money, so I was a little pissed off and found myself crying while walking down the street.

Got back, finally.. I think I got into my room about 8pm and then decided to go out again to get some water, and I also didn’t toiletries. So had to go and buy. Got fruits also. J Good thing that Pushkin had a fridge so I kept my stuff in there cold. Speaking about temperature, the temp in Moscow that day was about 33 degrees, it was frigging hot I tell you!!

The next day, Saturday, there was this Korean girl that moved in. So at first I didn’t speak to her because my Russian, as you all know, it really bad. Later I found out that her name is Lee Cho Yong. She’s actually quite a nice girl.. 23 years old and she’s studying Russian in the institute. She will be working here in some company doing translation work. She even wrote her name for me in Korean and we were talking and all that jazz. Very cool.

Fast forward Monday, I went to Deans office, and you know the procedures in Russia are extremely slow, it’s crazy! You know I was waiting in the Deans office since the morning at about 11 and even 5 pm I didn’t manage to get my hostel done, so I had to stay in Pushkin for another night, so it cost me another 650roubles (RM100) apart from the fact that I had already paid about 1950roubles for 3 nights already

So on Tuesday I had to go back again to the deans office. Luckily got everything settled, finally move into the new place! Unpacking and all that jazz..

Then on Wednesday we had to go get the stuff that was stored in Pushkin. There’s actually a lot of stuff there, and there was a lot of pulling and heaving to get all the stuff out of the store, into the cab, out of the cab and then into my room. That was super tiring.

Thursday, we went out to the library in the morning, and in the afternoon we went out with Pastor Kenneth Chin and his wife Sandra from Malaysia! It’s quite cool that they came all the way to visit us. Being all touristy, we went around MOCKBA, seeing the sights.

TODAY IS A FRIDAY.

I got my internet today! And I went to Ashan to buy some stuff for my new room.. I think it’s quite cool lorr.. Still a leetle bit messy but I think it should be okay.. Got some cool stuff from Ikea too, like this metal bar which holds magnets for notes and stuff.

By the way right, HAPPY MERDEKA MALAYSIA!!

The last bits ...

2007-08-23T07:10:00.001+04:00

Another challenge today.

Getting back to Moscow before Friday, 5.30pm.

Do you think I can make it? In order for that to happen, I need to get on the 8.25am flight out of Frankfurt, in order for me to reach Moscow at 1.25pm. But if it's full I will not be able to get on it.

We'll see if that happens aye? :P

Summary of this holiday:
The last bits of it were fun.

Just like the other parts of life: The last bits are always the best.

The last bits of secondary school : LEO SMKDJ 2005

The last bits of my practically non-existent acting career. I love you both AH LIAN and MARIAM (that's you CJ and Naz- what was my character's name? Is it Swee Lin?) Thank you Josh!

The last bits of form 5 spent with CJ and the best water rocket in school that flew way way above the 3 stories of the school block and in front of the Headmistress!
Also the last bit of school where I was drenched head to toe, in front of the Headmistress. :P
The last bits of the afternoon spent throwing parachutes down from 3rd floor with teachers looking on weirdly. LOL!

The last bits of ... sudoku crazed monkeys (L-R Mayshi, CJ and Junny) fooling around in school.

The last bits of ..us, all together.

Cheers to us. May we live our dreams.. :)

Busybody!

The task of the "tagged" is to write a pseudo-poem using a similar format as above.

Only the first line of each stanza is standardized (e.g. "when i was five").

Each stanza has syllables equal to the "diagram" below:

(4-5-6-7-8-9-4-3)

(5-6-7-8-9-10-5-4)

As you can see, it goes up slowly

then drops down suddenly in the last two lines.

Got it from Sha-Lene's blog. Since i've not written poetry in a long time... i thought I'd give it a try too! ( like her, not tagged but too free perhaps?)

four stages of life ( by mayshi)

i. Holiday!

At five I was
taken away to
Lumut where dad worked a
year no school with typewriters
coloured paper men and freeing
birds stuck in badminton nets my old
memories like
browned paper

i. Willow tree, maggi mee and pee.

At ten i was
Standard Five without
my old friends still had fun
songs of a boy named Wilson
sitting under a willow tree
composed with Siti who hated him
friends like Lynn will
remember

iii. Tale of Two Musicals

At fifteen i was
in 4 Angsana where
'Merdeka The Musical'
next year dancing on stage acting
as mother-in-law the best actress
never thought she could conquer stage fright was
my proudest moment
ever in school.

iv. LEGAL!

At eighteen i am
living in Moscow how
unexpected need to leave
so young to chase a life long dream
so big spanning my whole life work hard
to be a better person a doctor
though tough I will try
to change the world

KL Adventure

2007-08-18T13:45:00.001+04:00

So ANOTHER outing with Josh, CH, Xiang and Nicky. Met CH and Josh at the KJ Lrt at about 9.30am.. and those ppl were carrying badminton rackets, I was wondering why. They were going to play somewhere in Subang at about 3, where apparently, Taylors rents the badminton court for their students. Took LRT to Sentral, and there was mr Xiang reading his daily news ( I must add on how deeply patriotic he is. :) ) And he handed us KTM tickets. YAY first time!

In the KTM station. In Russia it should say " Beware of Gypsies."

First time!

Way better than Moscow Metro doors. At least they keep open longer.

So Xiang was our designated TOURGUIDE OF THE DAY. It seemed as if he knew KL like the back of his hand. Took two stops to exit at the station called 'Bank Negara' (duh) and when we got out of the station.. we saw this...

Bukit Aman Police Station! And all this time I thought it was on a bukit?

Walked into the back entrance of the Bank Negara Complex, when Xiang said " If anyone asks where you're going, just say HR ( Human Resources)." So I said " What if they asked who we are?"

Anyway, we made our way to the main building and then we entered. With many glaring eyes, we noticed we were a little inaptly dressed. ( CH donning three-quarter cargo pants, holding badminton racket) The guard was staring at us, and he told me, Josh and CH to wait outside while Xiang went upstairs.

Bank Negara! Ready for the nation's 50th Bday!

When Xiang came back down, he met us as the cafeteria where me and Josh were eating roti canai, and still attracting may stares. Then left for Berjaya Times Square where we were supposed to meet Nicky.

Just outside Bank Negara, big polluted river!

Took the Rapid KL train! (First time also) and exited at Hang Tuah station to walk about 10 minutes to Times Square. On our way, we walked pass Pudu Jail, where I saw this rather interesting painting on the wall.

Left : Death! That's the mandatory sentence to any Dadah drug trafficker in Malaysia. So be forewarned.
Right: Kamu akan mati di tali gantung. Satu kecelakaan bagi keluarga kamu kerana itulah sahaja hukuman bagi sesiapa yang mengedar dadah di Malaysia.
( You will die by hanging. A tragedy for your family because that's the only punishment for those who deal drugs in Malaysia.)

Malaysia Brand Jail ( Penjara cap Malaysia), Since 1895.

So we J-walked across the road, and finally made it into Times Square all sweaty and icky. After some loitering, decided to go watch IMAX movie. Bought the tickets for the 45 minute show and Xiang insisted that we go eat lunch. It was only 11am! Anyway, we went to McDs, we came here last time when there was a scrabble competition. :) Good memories.

The IMAX movie It was titled 'Sharks'. More like a documentary.

Josh and Xiang wearing 3d glasses in the cinema. Notice something different?

We were there quite early so the rides werent operational yet.

The little boys look so happy!

After IMAX, we went to meet Nicky, with, what we thought was 2 ppl, turn up with about about 5 ppl ( including Wei Hehn)! Then we decided to go to Low Yat. One of the guys wanted to return the fan cooler for his laptop. After hanging around in Low Yat, and standing in the middle of the mall obstructing traffic, decided to go to Sungei Wang!

Josh and CH had to leave to go for badminton. That was around 2. After walking around in Sungei Wang, and then walking somemore in Lot 10, finally went to eat something, the guys were hungry.

Finally, when we were about to leave the place, we took a monorail back, but realised that Nick was not with us! We thought that he was gonna panic, or cry, because he had no money on him, neither did he have phone credit. Apparently, his TouchNGo card didn't work, so he got left behind, and we went ahead of him without knowing that he was behind. We waited for him at the Sentral Monorail.

Nicky's relieved face after arriving at Sentral and seeing us there waiting.

So in the end, we took LRT back.

AHHH and finally the last picture of the day, while my daddy was driving me and Juju home, I saw this.

Nice big moist chocolate cake from the ass of a buffalo. :)

Signing out.

OU-ting

2007-08-11T20:10:00.000+04:00

So thanks to Mr lXl, we managed to have an outing with the brainiacs of my class and majority of my Angsana ducks ( I miss ya'll alots.). Yes, secondary school was the best years of my life.

Also, while driving to OU, I kinda crashed my momma's car into a railing while entering the carpark.

OOPS!

Met We Rin, CH, Winson, XL at MPH, and ended up talking and making alot of noise. OOPS! Was waiting for Josh but then he was a lil late so we decided to find a place to talk.

Headed to McD's but it was full, so went next door to KFC. Was waiting for more ppl to come ( though I didn't know who) and Kwan showed up ( I called her).. And after that, like the whole entourage came, consisting of Chee Hau, Derek, Adrian, Sara and Syafiq. Then Johan. Wuhoo.. So too many ppl now, we decided to head to Kenny Rogers. Took a seat outside.

(L-R) We Rin, Winson, CH, Sara, Syafiq, Chee, Adrian, Derek and Johan.

Me and Kwan at the other end of the camera!

Sometime later, Nicky came.. still skinny at usual. He came after IELTS so he was a little tardy, it's okay, the fellow got into Cambridge!! Chem Engineering. Wicked innit? My life dream.

AT about 4, Joshua came, he was tardy too but with a good reason, he also hit a Kancil, had to go to the workshop. OOPS!

Nice catching up with all of you. (:

Big kids in small pool = wavepool!

2007-08-08T11:42:00.000+04:00

ME, went to sunway lagoon with THEM todayy. Them being:

Sylas and Wawa.

Dharma, Liyana and Suba

Okay Group picture - Sylas, Wawa, Suba, Kaema, Liyana, Arvind and me.. And Dharma.

It was alright, except I thought it was abit of a couple fest since 4 ppl (= 2 couples) in the group were togethergeder. ( I think it's obvious who..)

Some interesting happenings though:

1. Around the river/moat going around the wavepool, there was this little arabic boy.
The boy (imo Psychokid) wanted Arvind's BEACHBALL, which Arvind brought along and painstakingly blew till he was all puffed out. :P Psychokid was chasing us all around the frigging moat, he was pushing us, biting Kaema even..SCARY. We ran away from him , out of the moat into all the other pools, finally into the wavepool, when we thought we had lost him.

Guess who turned up there 15 mins later. We gave him those big ring floats. He left. (finally)

Thank God.

2. Dharma has got some serious connections in Sunway Lagoon.
So we can't blame him for being about an hour and a half LATE, but he managed to get cheaper tickets and free ring and number 8 floats, which you gotta rent. Which is why it was free, we could give it to the psychokid. Also it seemed like he knew almost every operator either at store or giftstore. We asked him " Is that your friend ah?!''. He replied "I know I got friends but I don't know EVERYONE here." Hehe.

3. I didn't get sun tanned!! (wicked)
I usually do get sunburned... Thank goodness for good weather. Not too hot, not too cold. God is GOOD!

4. Them Arabians (middle Easterners) love Sunway Pyramid/Lagoon.
And you think they would've gotten enuff of that Egyptian, sandy, deserty hot kind of atmosphere back where they came from, but NO!!!, they want more. So they come in the thousands ( not an exaggeration) to The PYRAMID's(of Egypt)/LAGOON(Oasis of the Sahara) lol.. I think it's just fascinating. My bro said if you showed your elbow at them it's like rude..

Wanna try? Call me, I'll meet you at Sunway Pyramid.

5. If you are a man and wanna go shirtless, shave your back.
Nuff said..

Penang trip 24-26th July

2007-08-01T12:16:00.000+04:00

Was thinking whether to go anot.. But after Andrew kept on saying "This isn't Russia, there're many ways to get around.. " which is true, so I decided to be adventurous for once in my life... So the question was..

Train vs bus. Well I chose train actually. I mean, I'm sorry to say that I'm a Malaysian who as never taken the KTM before. OOPS! So I was pretty psyched to take a train to Penang, and it only costs like RM17 yeah, which compared to a train ride in Russia I presume is a gazillion times more expensive, RM 17 is like wet wet water. ( if ya know what I mean.. )

So I went to the KTM website and found the train that I would take, on a Monday night at about 9.00 pm and I will arrive at Butterworth at 5.50 am Tuesday. Andrew was saying, why take the train, we take the train all the time in russia, but I've not taken KTM before so I stuck with it. But then Charlie (Bossley knows what I'm talking about) called and said that we should take the bus instead because it's a shorter ride. And I was thinking (diva-ish) "WEll duh like I didn't know that. But I wanna take the train".

AHaha. okay Long story short. Charlie won. We took the bus. Hey I'm surprised, Malaysia's busses have like business-class seats okay, no joke! Like only 3 seats in a row window-1seat-aisle-2seats-window. The only thing that was missing were flight attendants. :P Anyhoo, left at 8.30am malaysian time ( That means 9.00am normal time) and we arrived at about 1.30pm. Picked up by Kathy.

Question though.. about the name Kathy. They pronounce her name 'Katie', shouldn't it be 'cat-thee'. Anyway, we went for lunch at the Sister's Char Koay Teow. I tell you, you have not eaten it until you go to Penang okie. I think it's more of the freshness of the ingredients used.. Just goes to show that quality matters, not quantity. And they also added what I thought was salted fish, but it's actually crab meat. Creative.

Bla bla bla, finally got to the Eden Fairway apartments. The apartment rented by us for 2 days cost about RM400, and about 10 ppl inhabited it, so yeah, RM40 per head for 2 days. Cheap. They had washing machines, TV, dvd player, aircond in every room and also a refrigerator! Good deal Kathy!

And the dinner was steamboat. Very yummy. Thumbs up to Kathy's grandmother. Kum sia. We had devotion and worship that time.. until quite late, I think about 1. Then we ate roti canai bought by Geng Yan and Andrew.. Slept at 4!

So we got up the next day, at about 9 ( surprised that I could even get up, but I think it'd be embarassing if you woke up the last yeah? Dalvin did.) Dalvin was still snuggled under the blankets that we wanted to put toothpaste on his luscious eyebrows, but ALAS, he woke. :P

Morning devotion. AIDS and Russia. Synonyms. Poor thing. Makes me kinda afraid to treat patients there. Anyway, FFW, after that went to Gurney Plaza. That place is like the size of OU old wing, but with more floors. After lunch I went a-shopping. I realized that shopping alone is way fun (to me) and while walking, I actually stumbled about some Russians! IN PENANG, MALAYSIA! I was half happy, half wanting to mistreat them. :P Had some coffee-bean there. CB cheaper than Starbucks. So boycotting starbucks now.

MAde it back to the apartment. ( thanks Geng Yan for driving us around... I know for me it's hard to drive around, I suck! ) Preparation for BBQ @beach! Yup.. we found a nice spot. At first it was a tad too close to the sewage water (eww) so we moved away from it. Guys wanted to start a fire. Boys and fire. :) haha.. I bet they had a blast.

Wee Kee started the fire for the bbq.. The first 2 batches of chicken wings and sausages were like very burnt so we ate it ourselves. After when the bbq fire settled down we managed to cook some superb chicken wings!! We learn. Hey, the food was good ( props to Alyssa's momma for the good marinating! ) that the doggies came. Francis had to shoo the pooches away.

So finally, after most of the cooking was done, it was already dark. And so we started singing praise, and the guitar was attached to the mini amp running on batteries (YES! I didn't know there was such a thing, so i'm flabbergasted) and I think maybe we bugged the hostel guests by the side of the beach. AFter that we sat down on the sand and started telling stories.

By the time we were finished, it was already about 11pm so we made a beeline back. After that night's devotion we watched Evan Almighty but I was already too tired so I went to sleep. The thing is that the DVD was mine so I could watch it any time I wanted. :)

Next morning, worship and devotion. Might I also thank God again for the good weather the night before, because it looked like it was going to pour but nope, it didn't! Anyway, after having KFC for lunch ( Dalvin says Kuantan Fried Chicken) we parted and took a bus back. :) Then took LRT with Francis .. I didn't know how to do that, but yeah, now I do! Thanks Francis. :)

Harry Potter and the ugly price war

By M. KRISHNAMOORTHY and MANJIT KAUR ( THE STAR NEWSPAPER)

KUALA LUMPUR: As avid fans of Harry Potter await the highly-anticipated finale scheduled to be released for sale at 7.01am today, a price war has brought about an unexpected twist – four major bookstore chains have decided to not sell the book.

MPH, Popular, Times and Harris bookstores have decided to withdraw the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novel from their shelves in protest against Tesco and Carrefour's move in selling the novel at a much cheaper price of RM69.90. The retail price of the book is RM109.90.

However, those who had pre-ordered their books will be able to collect them from today.

According to a source, the hypermarkets have limited copies, and they would “most probably” be sold out by noon.

Representatives of the four bookstores yesterday issued a statement to not sell the book in protest against the “indiscriminate price discount.”

MPH chief operating officer Patricia Chen said the decision was also to show the solidarity of the bookstore chains in maintaining their integrity.

“This means the book will no longer be available at these stores nationwide from tomorrow following the worldwide release and all events related to Harry Potter (from today) will be cancelled,” she said at a press conference yesterday.

Asked if their decision was to pressure the book's distributor, Penguin Books, to remove the books from the hypermarkets, she said: “It's not fair to allow hypermarkets to sell such a popular book when they are not in the book business.

“We will not short-change our customers. We will honour the sale to our customers who have pre-booked. The book can be collected from our shops from tomorrow onwards.”

On whether they had contacted Penguin, Chen said Penguin had responded by saying that it was not aware of the hypermarkets' pricing.

Carrefour Malaysia corporate communications and public relations manager Yuswanis Yusof said it wanted to provide the best for its customers.

Besides selling groceries and other essential products, the hypermarket wanted to provide a chance for customers to buy the book at a lower price, she said.

She added: “It all depends on how one markets and promotes one's products.”

Tesco Malaysia division manager Janice Chan said it wanted to make sure its customers could read the book at a cheaper price.

“We are popular for selling products at a lower price and books are no exception. The other retailers have their own marketing strategies by providing freebies and other promotions ... this is our way of pleasing our customers,'' she added.

Penguin Singapore and Malaysia managing director Eddy Teo said the hypermarkets would incur losses by selling the novel at a cheaper price, pointing out that their purchase price was actually higher.

He said there would be no replenishment on top of the opening order due to unavailability of stocks and the British publisher of the novel, Bloomsbury, had no plans for reprints now.

Teo expressed confidence that readers would still choose to buy their book from the retailers.

“Avid fans are looking for a magical atmosphere rather than just cheap price,” he said in Singapore yesterday.

Well, I've gotten my copy so i'm happy. Didn't wanna pre-order from the bookstore myself because I would've had to pay like RM109.90 for it... ridiculous for a book yes?! Anyway.. my mom heard on Hitz.fm that the Potter book will be sold at Carrefour and the newspaper said Tesco for RM69.90. And I was like sceptical at first, I mean, why were they so cheap, where they defective? Or do they only have like 10 books or something.

So okay, I didn't wanna go, I thought I bet that i'll need to line up really early for it. Well, anyway, my mom was bugging me to go and buy it. So okay, I went and did anyway. :) AHaha.. and when i got there at about 6.50, there was already a line yes, but not as long as I thought. Say about 100 metres line.

Line at 6.50 am, the queue in front of me runs into the distance

At about 7.10 am.. the queue behind me extends till the junction and even goes to the left of the picture!

After 1 long hour.. finally my book is with me!! :)

So, good thing that I went afterall, or I wouldn't have had a copy of the book.

Guess who's back!

2007-06-27T11:12:00.001+04:00

But before I got here...

There was the MCR Concert. Down here, Sarah and I. I'm in my 'Vodka, Connecting People' shirt.

My lil bro told me that they don't perform well live, Chris said the same thing too... But I was like ' yeah okay, but it's still MCR right? ' .. Well all you MCR fans there, they were AMAZING, SUPERDUPER ROCKING OUT CONCERT! Yeah.. if you actually look properly then you can see the sweat beads and the white coloured make-up on their lead singer, Mr Gerrard something.

Smashing!

And in Amsterdam.. a ride on the Sneltrain ( it's actually rather fast), a double deckered train which takes 15 minutes to get to from the airport Schipol to the town of Leiden.
The church of Leiden from the top of a citadel in the middle of the cute town.

one of the many many channels in the little town of leiden.. and you can see the cute channel houses too!

in the plane, sleeping. look at the windows? they're so white covered with snow!!!
(NOT!) it's actually a model plane in the MAS training center.

So now i'm back. Yay. Everyone is back now. calling all my russian friends if you ever stumble upon my blog please contact me by sending me an email to mayshi_gurl@hotmail.com. Love to meet up with you people.
So rock on everyone.. Like Chris and Kishan at the MCR concert. Look at Chris man.. so gay. CHRIS IS GAYY!! haha.

Signing out.

I'm back, again

2007-06-17T18:43:00.000+04:00

Hey everyone i'm back!
I will be back from now until the 23rd of August. Yup yup. Right for now, I really do not know what to do now. Perhaps I will find a temporary job or something, maybe earn some money or something. :)

Anyway.. that's all for now.. I'm actually lazy to type anymore. But I recently went for a My Chemical Romance concert in Moscow and it was AMAZING..

so.. in the words of My Chemical Romance.. " so long and goodnight.."

chris says:
hehee
how?
måұ§hϊ killer next week says:
imagine that the photostat machine works by light
chris says:
ya
owh
got it
måұ§hϊ killer next week says:
so if you make the words absorb the light
and then emmit a light with similar wavelength back
chris says:
or deflect it
aahh
måұ§hϊ killer next week says:
then it'll not be able to recognise any words
thus it not being able to photostat
so now ppl just need to make the ink special
or better yet, just print books in yellow ink. the photostat machine can't see it
chris says:
hehehe
måұ§hϊ killer next week says:
hhaha.. but that's bad for people like me who are too cheap to buy ori books
chris says:

So THAT was what I wanted to blog about.

29 days to go home!

2007-05-18T21:42:00.000+04:00

It’s the end of the week!
Now I understand why the named the restaurant TGIF.

What a crazy week it has been for me. Not to mention the many many exams ( namely Chemistry, Physics, Latin and Anatomy).. I did well for them, so I don’t need to sit for LATIN AND PHYSICS FINALS! And automatically get a 5.

Yeaaa..

Instead of sitting for Physics finals, I just need to prepare a large scrapbook about what we’ve learnt over the few months, just choose one topic and then write about 30 pages of it. :) Should be no problem, we’ve learnt how to write a lot of crap here anyway, the textbooks are full of word that have no relevant meaning to what the topic’s all about.

I’m on my way to get that red diploma and I’m just hoping that my luck will stay that way for the next 6 years. First class honours in medical school.
WOW. I SO want that right now.

And out of the many subjects that I will learn for the next 6 years, I can only afford 7 4’s. Everything else MUST be a 5. So I’m 3 5’s closer to that Red Diploma. Red Diploma. First Class Honours. Job offers from universities and companies. That’s the plan. Musn’t get my hopes up though. It’s a long road from here. I’ll get back to this topic in 4 years time. :)

An observation: The more I study the more I get fat. So the fatter I am only means I’m studying more, and hence I hope to get better results. HA. Anyway, it had better be that way, I don’t want to get fat in vain, okay?

A tiny mountain to climb next week, opposed to the large hill last week, I will be having 1 chemistry test, 1 chemistry control, 1 bio control and 1 histology control.
I think I can, I think I can. The little Mayshi that could do it with the help of a BIG BIG BIG God. Woot!

Oooh, and to all My Chemical Romance fans, and those who don’t have TICKETS TO THEIR BLACK PARADE CONCERT IN MOSCOW, you can go sob, because I HAVE IT! Wicked right?!! I just hope that Fall Out Boy will come here one day, I will play for the most expensive tickets. :P

2007-05-12T15:26:00.000+04:00

Did I mention that God is great?
I mean, I lost my Gen Chem book two weeks ago, and then yesterday night Prakash brings it to the room, gives it to Punitha, saying that it’s some Chinese boy’s book that was good to copy from. She didn’t even ask for the book. So I got my book back.

Yesterday night also, after church choir practice, I went to Alyssa’s room and was practicing harmonizing and stuff, then Andrew comes in, sees Alyssa’s Prison Break CD’s, then says “ I have someone’s Prison Break CD”. Lucky yes, because Andrew just chose that time to say it ( under normal circumstances he doesn’t talk to me). Bessha just to let you know, I did misplace that CD in Andrew’s pile of DVDs, but I have it back now!
Also, I get to sing on stage on Sunday for the church choir. :) Yay.

Now I know what I’m Moscow for. Sends me to a place so far from home with a scholarship, then after that gets me to know God more, and have a bomb at the same time. HAHAHA.

My leg has pins and needles right now so, see ya! :)

Wasted Week! (@ Happy Birthday, ADOLF HITLER!)

2007-04-21T17:31:00.000+04:00

I tell you, these Russian and their love for beating people up. Okay, so I don’t mean ALL Russian, but those NEO-NAZI’s or skinheads like to beat people up, especially when Hitler’s birthday comes around every year. 20th April marks the day that the German Charlie Chaplin look-alike who burnt books was born. Still, how many years has he been dead now, those skinheads still love to kill people. I mean, I wouldn’t like people celebrate my birthday by killing innocent foreigners and Russians alike. IDIOTS.

Lucky, the 8th of May in Russia will always be a HOLIDAY, due to the fact that it’s VICTORY DAY here!! ;) WOOOOOOOHOOOO! Someone will be turning 18 soon, finally! ( I know I’ll regret using the word FINALLY some 20 years from now, assuming I live that long.) It seems as if I’m left behind, because all my uni mates are like in their 20’s already, and I’ve not even hit the big two-zero. No problem, now that I’m partially ‘of age’ (of age = 21 right?), I can… hmm…..think of absolutely NOTHING that I would do differently now.

Can someone please tell me, according to Malaysian Law, what am I legally allowed to do now? And if I break any laws, am I fully liable for myself? :P Haha. No flopping up now, people, because last time it would fall under ‘Mahkamah Juvana’ ( Juvenile Court). What’s the max age for a juvenile, 18 or 21? What so special about the numbers 18 and 21, that they would choose those numbers to determine whether you would be a grown up or not? It is because by 18, we’ve fully matured biologically?! :P

AH yes, let me return to the title here, kinda got carried away. This past week has been pretty interesting since I didn’t do ANYTHING productive. Yay to me. ‘Twas the hols because it would be dangerous to go walking outside, since ze congretation of ze skin’eads would be ‘eld in ze city of Moscow! ( Harry Potter book coming out soon, anyone? ) And I dunno if I have personally seen a skinhead, but apparently they’re the kind of people who have skinheads (duh), and piercings all over, also they are a big fan of leather, in which their jackets, pants and high boots are made of. The Indian community won’t be pleased, the cow is a sacred animal.

My blockmate did mention some news about us Sechenovites being contained inside our hostels appearing on CNN, if so, I think my daddy would’ve known about it, but please do verify it for me, go to http://www.cnn.com/ and search for something under ‘I.M Sechenov’s MMA’, ‘Moscow universities’, or ‘Hitler’s birthday Moscow’ or something like that la. I mean, wouldn’t it be cool to appear on CNN? My anatomy teacher with her very weird vocab usage said, ‘you be defended inside your hostel’... As if like there was a whole troop of security guards with guns or something, ready to shoot down the mob of skinheads purposely targeting Pushkin Hostel.

So since my iPod nano’s hold button is officially screwed up, and the battery life has already been reduced to a quarter of original capacity, I think it would be a good time to buy an iPod! Treating myself to a birthday present. ;) But then I’ll wait till I go back to Malaysia, since it’s a lot cheaper there. It’s about RM 200 more expensive over here! And there isn’t enough money inside my account to pay for it. Maybe I’ll get mum to use her credit card, so she can accumulate more of those credit card points, and then I’ll pay her back. OOOH, but have you seen the new Red coloured iPod nano? It’s like wicked right? And you know I love red!!! WAHHH.. but I think after a while you’ll just get sick of the red colour. Erm, but one thing, does anyone know if there will be any kind of new iPod’s coming out soon? I mean, I remember Victor was telling me that he got an iPod, and then a few months later the 5th Generation iPod’s came out. I mean, that sucks right, he could’ve just waited for a few months more and then gotten the newer version. But by the way, I really wanted to get the iPhone ( out in June), but the thing is that the sim card is inside the phone, and it only works with Cingular mobile in America, and by the time it probably works in Malaysia, it would be so many years from now, and I can’t wait that LONG!!

Last but not least, a reminder to start mailing your presents now! :) Thanks.

OHHH>. i found it.. http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/04/19/moscow.hitler.ap/index.html
