Internet, H1N1 & Exams

After being cut off for so long everything is still fine ... superficially... Not going to elaborate on this. I am still fine, still able to cope. I am stronger than this. Though I still want my peace and quiet life ...

Once again we are being "quarantined". Weird part is people can't come into our dorm but we are free to go where we want. Owh did I mention its due to H1N1 lolz ...

I am still in hell and to make things worst I don't even have internet to entertain myself with. Ok I do have a line but its too slow. This is too much I can't take it anymore!!! I need a faster line, it's been more than a month.

I officially hate my pathphys teacher. My pathanat teacher is officially disappointed in me. Well can't be helped at the rate I am screwing up those controls. Have to do properly the coming colloq. Ugh I just can't remember all the shit.

Also found a chestnut tree right in the hospital grounds today. Obviously being "sampat" I went to pick a couple of them. Now, I have 2 options. First would be to go to find a shop that sells these stuff roasted. Second I could go "sampat" again, get some coal and roast it myself.

While public transportation rocks in Moscow it still amazes me on how they can get traffic jams. Imagine 4 lane road totally blocked. 2 lanes occupied by the original accident of 2 lorries (with diesel leaking and all) and some impatient fella went and block the other 2 lanes by hitting the other car in the 4th lane. Plus their policy here is not to move the vehicle until police arrives.

Oooh I was quite disappointed as I didn't get to see the halo cloud hovering over Moscow last week. Or was it that I was just plain ignorant? I did get to see a double rainbow though. And there were some cuuuute icing decos in one of my frien's open house.

Russian Room Area

Regardless whether I sleep 8 hours or not a day I am still feeling tired. My guess would be the travelling up and down to hospitals everyday. Thankfully my schedule is in the way that I have the same subject for class and lecture everyday. Thus no need travel from one hospital to another like other groups. Need to increase my stamina ...

All my teachers seem nice for the moment. All studies are doing well with the exception that I failed the patan control on Friday. Just stunned there when I got the paper. Although the teacher said that she won't take controls in consideration for aftomat I still feel pretty down about it. Also have I mentioned? I got Swethana for Russian. So far I am actually learning some Russian without getting all stressed up. Hopefully can get her for 2nd sem again. Pray I am not speaking too soon.

Just got back from getting surgery uniforms with 6 leng luis. Feels nostalagic looking at them buying surgery coats. I just needed the stroll// outing to clear my head of screwing up in patan. Not to mention good company so why not. Feeling much better too now though a little tired. Hmph slept the whole night till late this morning tim. Fatigue accumulation perhaps?

Just realized something important recently. The perekrestock membership card which I got last year is actually working on point system. 1 point for every 10 rubles. At the moment I have about 1463 points which enables me to exchange for alot of food stuff. Just one slight problem, my card seems to be somewhat jammed. So should I call them to unjam it? It's a land line and they did talk russian. Or just throw the card away? Either way they are going to chop me off 479 points if I dont use any by 1st of October 2009..

Oooh and for the person who cooked for me that other day I made spaghetti meatballs as return. However I don't feel it being much as I burned it a little though. Pot too small, cannot really cook for two. This afternoon manage to fry some vege and egg with instant noodles for lunch. Kinda weird cooking on my table. Not to mention using the travel cooker was never my strong point.

As promised a picture of my area in the room as below. Now I officially do every single thing within bed range, with the exception of toilet.

Room Change Update

What is with this bad array of events? Are my stars allignment all fucked up due to some catastrosphic disaster in space?

I did not manage to get the room I wanted again. After so much time of planning and applying in the end someone just went ahead of me and got it. Can't exactly blame the person as its a she thus easier to get that room. Depressing? Obviously, it is after all the 2nd time ...

Well I guess life is unfair just got to shape things around it. Went to get some stuff to upgrade and remodel the room to something I designed in my head. No architect here, but well at least its a slot in hell where I can cool off.

Still thinking on how to create a barrier to be able to cook in the room. Steaming and boiling won't be a problem but frying would. Yes the outside stove is too fucked to use even if it's cleaned up now. Not like those idiots would even maintain it clean if I do clean it. Besides the thought of roaches looking at me while I cook is really disgusting.

Ironically I came home twice from Ashan just to break the power head (the metal thing which is screwed in) on 2 different fans. Went on Saturday, clip fan head broke, went on Sunday bought head and a stand fan, stand fan head broke. Fortunately got people going to Ashan soon. Getting them to get me 4 plug heads this time. Anything else want to break?

The first batch of newbies are in too today. Apparenlty arrived like 7.00 am with Aeroflow. For real? WTF who ever comes here in morning? Seriously pathetic just to get waken up at 9.00 am on Sunday just to find that its a new roommate. The newbies would be reshuffling rooms soon though. Just hope I get a good one.

Still have not read anything for Pathphys control nor have I done my class notes. I have not written out the Pathanat preparations. Plus I cannot even remember shit I read for Surgery so far which happens to be this Tuesday. I have to know the chapter word for word apprently. Not to mention alot people still asking favours which they dont even take any fucking initiative for it.

The new MP5 I got from PC fair last month busted recently too. I think the EM in the train screwed the thing up. Can't really tell now if the screen is the problematic one or the battery. Will try to prode it when I have the time later.

Some happy things that happened this week was the company of good friends where we can just laugh things off. Seniors who helped with the room changing and all the advices on the good stuff. Someone cooked me dinner too on Sunday. It was fried rice. I repead FRIED and not steamed. OISHI DESU HONTONI ARIGATO.

Overall definitely going to be in a foul mood for a while. Note thus far this is my longest post in my entire blogging life haha. Picture of my newly made area will be posted once I cleared my table. End of the week perhaps? Till then enjoy the pic I tooked at the hospital for Patan class.

Begining of Hell Year 3

Been back in Moscow for about a week. As though as year 3 is not tough enough my group just has luck to go get all the "notorious" teachers. Imagine first day, first subject, first thing in the morniing 90 slides to copy in approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Really don't know how I am going to waltz this through. Still having issues with the hostel management. Why can't they just let me change my room? Hopefully with the RMSA help I can get the room I want. Just can't put into words just how much of hell is my unit is at the moment. Don't even say staying in it. Just being outsiide at the corridor can give people the creeps. At the moment my policy would be FUCK ALL MIDDLE EASTERNS. Any of you not happy you can go blame my dear MIDDLE EASTERN unit mates.

Tetanus vs Pneumo 23

Took the final dose of my jabs on Monday. Love aunt's doctor, medical students FOC. Kindness still exists in this world. Anyway for the first 8 hours tetanus was causing me a freaking sore arm. Later after 8 hours pneumo 23 reacted and gave me a massive fever. Was out of the world for 1 day. Body aches and heavy migraine came along as usual. Though the body don't ache too much now I am still having migraine. What I don't understand is why am I the only one so enthusiastic to take all this jabs compare to all my other Russian friends ...

Ice Skating

Finally went for ice skating with Qing last Friday. The irony is I study in Russia but I have never ice skated before. Manage to skate after 10 minutes but probably not the right technique. Both my legs blistered badly. Lesson from teacher Qing just push people and dont avoid till you fall yourself. No comment ...

One gal fell by the sides and could not get up. Seeing that no one helped her yours trully was feeling kind hearted and wento help. I was next to her so ... Anway when she was grabbing the sides already I thought she wt as stable and ahem let go of my hands. Oops bad idea she wasn't stable and fell again. Being so embarassed had to help her up again and took a hike after that. Damn quite pretty leh.

Drink, Drunks & Medical

Have not been updating much as I was busy with Ghost X lately. Got more toys from the last PC fair.

The term curiousity kills the cat really fits. Only thing is I am not dead or in any trouble yet. Guess I have been doing too much digging lately. Its a real pain in the ass when things I want to distant from keep popping up.

Last Thursday had drinks at Faye and Qing's place. Started with a dull night and ended up with couple of them pist drunk and high.

Did my medical check up the following day. Getting the results tomorrow along with the TB test.

Reminder to self - Fast for 12 hours next time.

After recomfirming for 3 times they told me over the phone to fast for 6 hours. Ended up day dreaming in the hospital for 4 more hours just to have a 10 hours fast.

St Anne 2009

And all hell breaks loose

1. Phone cam actually quite good when taking pictures while moving. Check out the sakura tree.
2. I got demoted as the best church "sleeper". The little girl at the same bench was sleeping on the kneel rest.
3. Going all the way to St Anne and not getting to buy bubble tea on the way back to the car is not right!!!
4. I seriously, seriously hate getting lost, running around in circles and all in all just to go to some average restaurant. Motion Sickness!!!
5. I need to install photoshop ASAP
