Back again! part 1

sedikit dikit lama lama menjadi bukit.

lets have a small update of my life in sequence since the last post!

-i’ve passed my final exam in Moscow Medical Academy
-i’ve oraganised an after exam party.
-i’ve done many interesting things after that ( will explain later)
-i’ve attended my Convocation
-But NO i am still not having my sacred Diplom (degree transcript) in hand ye.
-and oh yes, i finally went to St petersburg- the must-visit city of Russia

Wow ! it has been over a month since i last blogged! Now to get back on the track, it seems like i have so So many interesting points of my life to pen down.

1. The Final Exam

I have been pretty busy, firstly due to the Final Exam of my Medical course here in MMA Moscow. Not because it’s an exam to pass, It is something that i need accomplish to prove myself. At this moment, an exam is not just paperwork results anymore, it is to let me prove it to myself, to convince my own confidence. Am I good enough for the tittle DR, for the MD behind my name?

Before this i seriously was having doubts-almost depressive!, maybe it was due to the many not-too-pleasant comments in Malaysian Hospitals about Russian graduates.I have been through many exams over the pass 6 years here in MMA, I am not the best student nor the most talented. But i am glad that i know that i deserve to graduate after sitting for the exam. PHEW~

Here in Russia, the exam system is not like in Malaysia, or US or UK etc. OK let me explain in detail ( since i am free now).

Russian Exam Style

In every subject we take, we will have to fulfilled some requirements before we are allowed to take an exam. These requirements usually include attendance % and also series of small test through out the semester.The test usually include a few written questions and finally an oral session with the teacher to elaborate on what we wrote, or maybe some extra questions (depending on the teacher’s mood). The oral part is also an opportunity for us to prove ourselves in case we did badly in the written part.

At the end of the semester, if we fulfilled the subject’s requirement, the teacher will sign our “Zacut Book” ( report card etc). Only with a Zacut Signature of that subject will we be allowed to sit for exams.

The test and exam questions are not like those in Malaysia where there will be a set of secret guarded paper kept in a safe. Russians have many variants of exam questions. Every student will get a different set depending on LUCK. yea so, its like Lucky Draw everytime. fun leh~ woo hoo~

ok lets not bore everyone with words! here are some pictures after our final exam! I have made some collages of it (for the slide shows during our graduation ceremony)

* the background picture are general scenes of our exam hall, and in the 2nd pic, the old guy’s statue, is the statue of Sechenov- the founder of my uni Moscow Medical Academy I.M Sechenov, also known as M1 in russia (1) ranked 1st in Russia.

Here is a video a fellow mate of mine took after the exam.

me? racist?

If you see a snake and a chinaman who will you kill first?
of course the indian man singing this song la!

A year ago, i wrote the original saying of this phrase causing a lot of hu hahs among the damn malaysians in moscow. Many said the saying never exist and was created by me due to my accused racism.

so should i sue comedy court for copyright ar? LOL

Blogger’s dillema.

I am getting really pissed off with my own blog, THIS BLOG here, has totally lost its essence, the reason for having a blog is to be able to voice what u think, share your views n thoughts rite?
But nowadays, it seems like what ever u do, what ever u say, there is always something to be picked on about.

I can’t write my thoughts my views or anything at all. The only thing i can do is still 忍。and write bout what i ate n what i watched.

KennySia decided to just be a public entertainer. But i just cant do it like him, because this is not my profession, i dun have to try so hard to please everyone.

When i write bout happy things, none of the people i know who reads my post cares to drop a comment ,only the real public anonymous people comments- those are REAL comments .
Just look at kenny’s post about his visit to sandakan. He just made his trip sounded funny and people are getting so defensive over it, When people get defensive, its because they are insecure. Just like when an African gets pissed when a white guy says ” i dun like this shirt, because its black” and u can be almost sure to see the African shop assistant making an ugly face. getting all sensitive unrelevantly.

When i blog bout not so nice things, the not so nice things transformed so bad with the comments, sometimes the comments gets so bad that its as if i’ve done criminal acts. And there is just no point ,NO POINT at all to try to explain to these ppl, those commentators who knows me are not going to listen, or get the bloggers point, Their POINT is just to trash the blogger , release their vented frustration in a big go, on the blogger, YES ON US bloggers.

Its human psychology that its naturally more difficult to accept n celebrate others victory joy n happiness, BUT is always easier or more satisfying to pin point others mistakes n imperfections. Its an embedded way to make oneself feels higher/greater than the others.

For example, girl A secretly feels that a classmate’s “B” shoes are so cool n stylish, but she decided to keep it to herself, because by complimenting B it would mean that B is greater (in shoe sense).

BUT, but its totally okay for the A to compliments Angelina Jolie if the wears that same shoes as B, because of course , it shows that A has equivalent taste as Angelina.

It will also be satisfying for A to gossip when one day B turns up wearing ALL BRIGHT PINK.

This real identity blogger status is gonna be turned off soon, Not because i am afraid to let people know what i think, not because i dare not appear with my real skin. Its because there is just too many unnessesary fuss to be taken on, too many ridiculous people pin pointing .. and its so tiring to explain, not because they will never get it, its because they DONT WANT TO. thats when the saying comes, Patience is virtue and Silence is golden.

A week filled with photos…

phew finally the long week is over! let me recall what happened , what did i do .. hmm?

Tuesday 19/may/2009

Then on Wednesday, I went for Infectious Diseases Class, the lecture was so… boring that i fell asleep… then i got some sarcasm from a very beardy teacher.. but nvm.. whatever kan? Then i went for lunch at «Шоколадница»with my groupmates.

a pair of cute Hush Puppies near Infectious Diseases Hospital

Set lunch for 220 rubble, with 3 choices of salad, i ordered healthy and refreshing caesar salad, very yummy creamy mushroom soup/soup of the day, and vanilla frappe (v v sucky x order that) just choose coffee/ tea.

Oh yea i watched the season finale for Desperate housewives, House and greys anatomy. All very exciting, can’t wait to watch the next season. But i think by the time the next season comes out, i will be working adi… hope i ll still have time to watch them.. I think finally george became presentable, which is ironicaly after he crushed his face into a unrecognizable state, During a heaven-like scene. Ok i shall not blurt more as some of u might not have watch it yet..finally george is handsome, but too bad its also the final time…

Thursday 21/May/2009
Thursday was a TIRING day.. Nostrification of SPM certs etc to be done. My nostrification letter was suppose to be ready on 27th May, but i went earlier to make sure they get it ready on time. True enough they did not process it at all due to some mistakes of the notarization. RWEER so i collected my documents back and went to the Public Notary office (which previously made some mistakes twice), with my broken russian and facial expression i manage to make them notarize my doccuments all over again for free. i spent 5 hours dealing with all these..

The “tiring” Nostrification Department

a very cute “ball-y” violet flower outside the “tiring” building

oh yea in between i had lunch at a parisian cafe right outside M park kultury (alone).. i ordered the small portion salad but was charge full price bcos apparently the menu i ordered from ( which was on the table) is for catering only. Can you believe it? That was the most expensive salad i bought in my entire life. But it was good .. but i wouldnt order it again T.T its almost Rm50 leh.. &$^@&#!

yummy Parisian croissant -70rubs

My expensive mediteranean salad (taken with iphone, no macro mode)

I also accidentally left a bag of groceries in the cafe….=_= i know i damn cacat .. haha luckily they saved it for me when i returned to the cafe after the Nostrification stuff…

At night, i was too tired.. so i watched a movie which was hidden for a very long time in my hard drive. It was a Damn good movie “the children of huang shi”. Its about an american reporter (world war 2 days) in china, who pretended to be the red cross ppl to go into Nanjing (during the japanese occupation).

Super nice sunflowers in Huang Shi and one of the children

Today i went to the Notary office to collect my documents, then haha i went shopping! wee WEE huhu~

Budget emo in the fitting room (tak cukup wang) T.TLove this, but hate the price

Expensive jeans, only bought the cheap tops.. huhu~ love the violet singlet

Purple- the colour of…… a plum?

Purple nails, was what one of the guys here called me when i first boarded the plane to this Moscow world. ( he didnt know my name back then)

I dunno whats with this purple thingy, but i have only painted my nails dark purple once in my lifetime, and currently own only one purple top. Nothing else that belongs to me are much of purples.

Anyway, i spied on some purple ppl today, it started by 2 of my classmates n i coincidentally wore purple this morning, and ever since then i have been seeing purple the whole day, everywhere, all metro stations i went, in the wagons, on the streets.. mind you, these are taken only at one station itself, in front of 2 wagons. The purplelians have saturated Moscow today.

Are you wearing purple too?

* p/s :i dun like it that the blogger doesn’t allow bigger pics upload .. how can i make my pictures bigger?

Too many things

For the past week, I was really bz, unfortunately not with studies which should be my one n only priority at this moment. With the GOS exam in just about 3 weeks time.

For the 6th year students, please visit www.mma2009.blogspot.com for the latest updates on graduation. Great news for all, we dont have to worry about the legalization of our diplom because now, by paying 800 rubbles, the deans office will have it done for you, so no extra worries.

Well, upon this upcoming graduation, a random acquantaince and I came up with an idea to cater MMA students with our own uni t-shirt, just like any other unis. We designed it, searched moscow for the best quality shirts we could find, got the embroiderer that embroids stuff for famous companies such as Heneiken, etc.. the plan was perfect. This is what we came up with.

Back of shirt: ( russian name of our uni)
sleeve : ( MMA 250 years anniversary logo)
Front: official MMA logo with tinges of gold

But due to some student political issues, the plan was terminated by higher power. So all our efforts went down the drain. And the higher power intercepted our project succesfully with this. *Dont even have the OFFICIAL MMA LOGO. and i heard the quality of the shirt will be like the sucky volgo-games red shirt before this, no wonder its cheap.

They didnt really intercept it, they “asked me for my consideration”, you know just like how when USA/Russia ask considerations from korea, iraq, etc..

Well, i guess i just have to swallow it down, digest it , defecate it and flush it down the toilet. I, at least managed to absorb some nutrient(lessons/training) on the way ,i guess.. i didnt want to risk my medical license or my naked pictures.

A “friend” of mine told me : ” so, the morale of the story is, dun ever be bothered to even have a suggestion”-so sad hor?

another friend said ” haiya, next time when u work in the government hospital, all your probs will be like this la, train ur self to swallow it lo…” True True True!

To me the primary morale of the story is, with power, everything is RIGHT.

In the midst of these events, i managed to bake another brownie, this time with ALL fresh ingredients , I have no pics of it because it was a great success, the whole cake disappeared within an hour

I also celebrated Victory day for the first time in my 6 years in Moscow.. huhu what a shame!
Here are some pics from Park Pabedi (Victory Park), Moscow. The park was built to uphold the Russian victory over Napoleon.

The victory day (MAY 9) marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union in World War 2.

bimbo bimbo lalalla~ like the song huhu

THE S FACTOR

How do u play naughty?

em maybe close it to cut off Singapore’s electricity so that we wouldn’t have to be electrified???

Doktor cuma ‘berdiam’ bila rakyat kritik khidmat mereka

Doktor cuma ‘berdiam’ bila rakyat kritik khidmat mereka

PENDEDAHAN berhubung isu penemuan dua doktor di Jabatan Kecemasan Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) ‘mencuri tulang’ oleh Timbalan Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan, Datuk M. Saravanan sedangkan lebih 20 orang pesakit masih menunggu dalam kesakitan – memang menghangat.

Susulannya, pelbagai pihak lain turut mendedahkan versi pengalaman dengan doktor di hospital kerajaan. Semua doktor hospital kerajaan telah dicemuh oleh masyarakat.

Tetapi akhirnya lain pula cerita sebenarnya. Dua doktor yang dituduh curi tulang itu sebenarnya doktor pelatih yang baru habis bertugas sejak hari sebelumnya. Bilangan pesakit yang menunggu hanya lapan orang (selebihnya ahli keluarga yang menunggu).

Inilah bahana apabila membuat tuduhan tanpa usul periksa. Tidak rasa sedih dan terhinakah doktor dituduh sedemikian. Sedangkan kita tahu mereka bertugas dengan dedikasi, merawat pesakit berbilang kaum tanpa jemu, bekerja siang mahupun malam tanpa hirau penat dan lesu – tiba-tiba dituduh secara melulu sedemikian!

Jika ada pun doktor yang bersikap ‘curi tulang’ jangan dibuat andaian semua doktor begitu. Tempias nama buruk terpalit kepada institusi hospital kerajaan.

Pada hakikatnya ramai doktor masih bertanggungjawab dalam menjalankan tugas.

Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, mungkin kita pernah menjadi pesakit di hospital mahupun di klinik-klinik kerajaan.

Soal menunggu lama adalah lumrah kerana kita maklum jumlah pesakit yang ramai. Cuma sikap sewaktu memeriksa pesakit perlu dilakukan dengan penuh dedikasi – bukan menunjukkan reaksi kurang selesa dan kurang berminat untuk merawat pesakit.

Pun begitu, kita percaya masih ramai doktor yang komited dengan tugas mereka. Mungkin hanya satu dua orang sahaja yang tidak beretika dan sanggup mencalitkan lumpur kepada nama baik hospital.

Doktor dan pembantunya, jururawat telah diberi kursus dalam membentuk etika yang baik sewaktu bertugas. Mereka tahu cara untuk berhadapan dengan jumlah pesakit yang terlalu ramai termasuk melayan pelbagai kerenah pesakit.

Petugas di hospital kerajaan harus memberi layanan terbaik kepada setiap orang tanpa mengira status dan kedudukan. Jangan kerana pesakit terdiri dari golongan kurang mampu dan ditempatkan di kelas kedua atau ketiga, mereka dilayan bagai orang yang tiada perasaan – diherdik dan ditengking sesuka hati.

Profesion doktor cukup mulia. Tetapi naluri manusia sentiasa mahu dilayan dengan cepat dan tidak sabar jika terpaksa menunggu lama.

Perkara ini dilalui oleh para doktor. Bilangan doktor tidak pernah bertambah. Seorang rakan yang memilih bidang ini pernah meluahkan ‘tidak ada masa yang cukup’ untuk mereka.

Ada masa mereka terlepas waktu makan tengah hari. Kalau mahu ke tandas pun perlu bergilir-gilir. Perkara-perkara seumpama itu adalah biasa bagi seseorang doktor.

Namun, kita belum lagi mendengar doktor menjerit marah kerana kepenatan. Belum pernah kita lihat mereka memberontak dan mogok tidak mahu merawat pesakit.

Kita pun tidak pernah melihat para doktor berpiket menuntut hak mereka. Tak dengar oun mereka meminta dihargai. Sebaliknya mereka terus bekerja penuh dedikasi siang dan malam tanpa jemu merawat pesakit.

Sebenarnya tidak ramai antara kita sedar bahawa waktu bila doktor bekerja. Mereka memulakan tugas sebelum pukul 8 pagi, dan jika on call kena bertugas hingga 36 jam.

Banyak masa mereka korbankan untuk pesakit daripada bersama di sisi ahli keluarga, ibu bapa dan anak-anak.

Mereka tidak pernah merungut tentang gaji. Tidak ada siapa antara kita yang serius memikirkan soal menjaga kebajikan doktor.

Sekarang, amat jarang pesakit atau waris pesakit yang mengucapkan ‘terima kasih’ kepada doktor. Sebaliknya ada pesakit yang berani menghentak fail ke atas kepala doktor semata-mata kerana tidak diberi cuti sakit.

Tetapi doktor hanya diam, senyum dan meneruskan kerja. Bukanlah bermakna mereka tiada perasaan. Sebaliknya mereka dididik dan dipesan untuk bersabar dengan semua kerenah pesakit.

Jangan kerana desakan sesetengah pihak berkepentingan tertentu, mereka ini dijadikan mangsa dan bekerja dalam tekanan. Kelak ia hanya mendatangkan masalah kepada diri doktor, keluarga dan pesakitnya.

Mulai hari ini dan mengambil semangat baru sempena Hari Pekerja semalam, eloklah kita ringankan mulut untuk mengucapkan terima kasih kepada setiap doktor yang merawat kita

Its so easy to point fingers, but One finger pointing to the accused, 4 fingers are pointed to nowhere but yourself.

Penguin on Bioterrorism

First i would like to post a happy picture, before getting to the bitter truth.

Group3 class of 2009, MMA with our Gynaecology Teacher who is one of the best teachers I’ve ever came across. Thank you sir.

With the end of our gynecology cycle , here comes the new Infectious Diseases cycle, I must say, i have started feeling the risky-ness of my life by just being in the infectious disease hospital, with swine flu infecting the globe, if it ever infect Russia, i will probably be breathing in the first hand Russian swine flu virus.. huhu

i usually dun laugh HUHU-ly . But macam the HUHU-ness is as infectious as the swine flu, i hope i will stop huhu-ing.. =_=”

On the first lesson of our Tropical Diseases cycle, Our teacher showed us some interesting videos, even though it wasnt very academically satisfying, but it was quite interesting. It was a CDC documentary on BIOTERORISM.

CDC is the center for disease control of the USA,

In these videos i learned that all the major nations have apparently came up with an agreement to stop researching on BioTerrorism, but all countries accept USA (according the the CDC video) seem to have been researching in SECRET…
=_= USA is so innocent kononnya.. do they have prove? er.. i dunno but apparently in these videos, there was a guy (a spy) who saw some countries secretly still researching…. =_=”

NVM everybody lies.. whatever la kan? i dun think USA is so innocent to see others researching but remain a goodie goodie by themself. who in the world would believe? i think only esther will…

Appart from learning that all the major countries are pretending that they have no relation with bioterrorism research,

i also learnt a bit on the history of bioterrorism and the BIGGEST TERRORIST is the Japanese RWEER.. i hate him EXTRA because he used chinese MY RACE as experimental subjects
RWEER

Apparently there was an army unit called UNIT 731, its a unit that develops weapon of mass destruction during the world war 2 era leaded by the notorios General SHIRO ISHII.

Some activites of the troops are Infecting humans with deadly diseases (chinese mainly and other prisoners eg: political prisoners. These includes infants as well) and then studying them by cuting them open without anaesthsia! (vivisection)

They didnt use anaesthesia because they didnt want it to affect the experiments. Many well known surgeons in japan were once forced to do these vivisections.

About 10,000 people were used in these experiments. Later the result of these experiments were use as weapon of mass destruction. Such as infected fleas bomb.

Plague fleas, infected clothing, and infected supplies encased in bombs were dropped on various targets. The resulting cholera, anthrax, and plague were estimated to have killed around 400,000 Chinese civilian

so EVIL kan? so much more evil than me who baked the racun cake kan?

The idea of starting these researches was due to of the ban of bioterrosism warfare by the united nations, that leads to the “briliant” japanese to realising that bioterrorism is the best insurance to WIN.

America also turut menyambut the results of the EVIL RESEARCH. America granted immunity to some of the skeleton crews in exchange of their bioterrorism research results. ( HOW COME THIS PART WASN’T MENTIONED IN THE CDC VIDEO?)

Partly because the Americans helped cover up the biological warfare program in exchange for its data, Gen. Shiro Ishii, the head of Unit 731, was allowed to live peacefully until his death from throat cancer in 1959. Those around him in Unit 731 saw their careers flourish in the postwar period, rising to positions that included Governor of Tokyo, president of the Japan Medical Association and head of the Japan Olympic Committee. ……

Who knows how did the swine flu appeared? maybe it was an accidental leak from one of the bioterrorism researches in America? , or just an innocent mysterious antigenic shift of the influenza A virus?

new viruses izzit an innocent nature’s mysterious antigenic shift? H5N1?, new H1N1? is someone researching on the influenza A?

Do u think this could happen again?

i think it might.. because in a war, u have to win.. =_= so many ppl are willing to do anything to win.. competitions.. even in school, uni, work, its just that right now, the consequences are smaller..but after all its the same mentality, its just a different situation.

penguin’s first choc brownies baking

one fine day, leo, valera and i decided to bake some choc brownies

it turned out looking exactly like the picture on the box BUT it tasted like .. medicine, i wondered why? I took a clearer look at the box again to see if i missed anything.
True enough, i missed something. Something very Important. DAMN

so there was I sitting in the middle of the room mourning over my medicated brownies..

seriously it was the worse desert I’ve ever tasted.

Yu Hui consoled me by suggesting me to cut a love- shaped brownie,

and so i did..

She decorated it with strawbery jam and added “H love H” = yu Hui Love Huey shin

after that we decided that it would be “wasted” if we threw away the beautifully decorated love brownie.

so I suggested to present it to our beloved friend WCY. who will definitely scold us after taking a bite.

I felt a tinge of guilt when he accepted our love with such happy n touched big wet eyes
just look at how happy he looked! T____T

yu hui and i looked at each other. and thought that he would definitely give us a big screwing after tasting the “love”

but instead he nodded and said its really good, i could see his hidden yucky expression…but he continued playing dota -_-”

by this my guilt meter exploded and i confessed everything T.T

but still.. he sed its the thoughts that counts….
I am so EVIL… T.T

i will bake a real fresh choc brownies this weekend!!!! to wash away my sins =_=”
