Winter is here...finally.

I'm dreaming of the white christmas...soon it will be christmas day...

What is it?

Ok here, we could see on the left corner- a door, then, on the right corner another door. What about the one in the center? Is it another door?? Yes..this is another door, but this door, is kinda different from the two doors, at the side. It is actually a lift. I don't know whether you have seen this before, but, here in Kursk- most of the hospitals have such big lift, and is designed in a very ancient way. Did you see a chair there inside the lift? This chair is prepared for the nurse who is on duty in the lift on that day. This lift can accommodate about 10-11 people, but, the funniest thing is, the nurse allows only 5-6 people for each trip. This rule is applied especially to the students. Anyways, we the students, has very rare chance to take the lift, as they would asked us to use the staircase instead.

Big fat cat!!

Today, as I was walking to the trolley bus stop after class, I saw this big fat cat is resting on this metal thing ( don't know what is it called), but, it seems like there is steam coming up from it. No wonder the cat can just sit still there, even the temperature outside the street is -5C. Although I'm not a cat lover, but, yeah, seeing such a cool cat in such a cold weather, is really something very cool to share, isn't it?

I bruce lee you??

Haha..as I was walking out from my patient's room,i heard pauline was saying that she wanna bruce lee brian. At first I didn't get her,but as she repeated the second time,i just knew what she meant. Then brian replied her,by saying he could bruce lee pauline better than her. I then interrupted them,saying I could bruce lee better than both of them..and brian asked me can I kick? I then told him,kick?? Of cause I do. I then told then what I learnt in sokol- in one of the aerobics class. So I tried to demonstrate to both of them,and suddenly,my shoe flew away as I kick.. Haha..i was so embarrased and quickly pick my shoe up. Sien mei was smiling..i knew it was very funny..brian trying to comfort me,saying don't worry, no one will know..and he ended with a laughter.. What a day..but I thank God for the joy He put in me. Praise the Lord.

Ame's hamburger.

Look great isn't it? This was supposed to be my dinner,prepared by my sister. But I kept it for my lunch today. I was so hungry when I got back from class today,and thank God for the prepared lunch. I heat up the burger,and made a cup of chai se malakom..[tea with milk] mmm,it was so delicious. A perfect lunch,and I thank God for that.

Only half?

Today after gym,me,pauline,sam n jason went to bulanje.Wow, this is my 3rd apple strudel in bulanje. But,today I ordered extra stuff-expresso. As you can see the picture above,my goodness,when the waiter brought me my expressso,..hmm, perhaps,i could understand expresso is served in such little tiny cup..as most people regards it as coffee shot, but never in my life I would think it is only half a cup of the little small cup. My friends then try to be funny,asking me to bring along my water bottle next time, so that I can add in my water,at least I could have a full cup of expresso. Anyways,it has been an awesome day to me. My sheep text me and ask how's my saturday? Well,all I can say,my sat is great and so much blessed and I want to thank God for this day. Praise the Lord!

Eating alot...!!! is it because of winter??

I've been eating a lot lately, especially at night. Is it because of the changed of the season- to winter, that i easily feel hungry? or simply wanted to have a bite. Anyways, those are a few of the junk that i eat, eating them for breakfast, for lunch sometimes, for snack, and now supper.
I like eating the biscuits with чай с молоком -tea with milk ( or back in Malaysia, also is name as teh tarik).
Russia has their own nice biscuits. Here in Kursk, those ( in the picture) are the biscuits i always buy in the supermarket...there are others too that i like,perhaps shall take a snap of those biscuits that i meant the next time i buy.
Back in Malaysia, there are various type of biscuits you can get in the supermarket. I know one of them, which is my youngest sister's favorite - chipsmore.



One common thing you can find among my siblings - we like to eat biscuits.

Siam/Dacha/Evropa 's Strudel.

Today after exercise,my sister,Amelia,and I went to Siam have our lunch..this strudel disappointed me so much. The consistency is so different than any other strudel I tasted before. It was so dry,so hard,and so not fresh:-S. Is okay,tho wasn't really happy with it,me and my sister decided to go to FM.Chantal next time for strudel..can't wait for the day.

FROG-Fully Rely On God.

This is the origami of a frog. I learn to fold this from a website. What's the purpose of me,learning to fold this frogy? Well,i wanna fold this frog,as a gift to all my Passion Cell members,reminding us to fully rely on God in whatever we do. Today cell group was so awesome!and I thank God for His leading. We had worship throughout the whole cg session. During worship,we were actually standing in a circle,and during worshiping God,i shared this with my cell members. The way that we are standing in a circle...just like the story of Daniel's three friends,who were thrown into the blazing furnace. They were tied up and were thrown into the heart of the blazing fire, yet there was no sign of being hurt. From this story, i believe, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego leave everything to God, even though situation may be so overwhelming...and i'm pretty sure, at that moment, they were just focusing on God alone- which i defined it as worship too. I thank God that i have this experience of restoration, refreshing during worship especially things just went upside down for me, circumstances and situations that simply too overwhelming me...is like some kind of transfusion, where a supernatural exchanged occur in me. God's peace, joy, rest will some how replaced and filled my heart, while all my distress is then eradicated by His gifts. Isn't great? ...then sings my soul...how great is my God, how great is my God. Praise the LORD.

a note from surgery teacher

Today, as usual, i woke up, washed up, took my breakfast, and the off to class in волокно. I'm having surgery cycle now. We waited for mashrut for some minutes, and then, about 40 minutes time, we reached the лесная болница ( Lesnaya Hospital). Then we put on our lab-coat and went in to the department. I saw a few of my groupmates were actually standing near the corridor, waiting for our teacher. I then hung my winter jacket in the so called changing room and then join my groupmates, waiting for our teacher. Suddenly, one of my groupmates, shouted and everyone is looking at her, while she was reading word by word the notes that our teacher wrote to us, that was pasted on her door. It says, that we are free for today, and come back on Friday, at 930 for class; topic, the colon disease and the anal disease.
Wow, everyone then started to pack their stuffs, get the jackets from the changing room and leave the hospital for hostel. What a day...~~

Our washing machine.

This is our(me and my unit and my sister,Amelia's washing machine). What is so special about this little machine that I wanna share? Well,last week,this machine 'fell ill',and simply cannot drain the water after washing or spinning. We were kinda disturbed by it,as we could not do our laundry. Clothes started to pile up like mountain. I started to wash my clothes everyday manually.. Sam,my roommate and I even tried to open the engine part of the machine, to check if we could find anything wrong there. Hmm, since we are doing medicine,i doubt we could find anything..practically no idea at all,we then close the part again. If someone were to ask us where is the gallbladder located in our body,i'm sure we could answer it,but where is the part for draining,.ops.. So we decided to call the person who is specialized in this. Cristina,my unit mate from Sochi,rang the man,and told him the problem. Today,finally,the machine is back to work. Wanna know what's the etiological factor? Is just because of the one rouble coin that block the drainage. One rouble for four hundreds rouble..wow!too much!! Anyways,we learnt our lesson,to check our pockets before dumping the clothes into the machine. Is a good ending afterall,isn't it? Give thanks in all circumstances.. Always cultivate a thankful spirit-giving thanks for the good things in life,and looking for ways in which God brings blessing out of even the most difficult experiences.
