Clueless

My Russian is very rusty because I don't even understand half of the things that I wrote in my notebook. How now? :'( 

My Extreme War Medicine notebook. :P

My notes. 

On a happier note, SPAGHETTI FIGHTTTT!

Ever feel like you have nothing say? That's how I feel for the past few days and that's one of the reason why I haven't been posting much lately. Anyway, last Saturday I met Tun Dr. Mahathir and his wife at the embassy. The last time I met him (at the airport, no less!) was when we went for a holiday in Langkawi and he was there for Le Tour de Langkawi. They're here in Moscow after getting an invitation from President of Russia, Dmitri Medvedev and Presiden of Republik Tatarstan, Mr. Rustam Minnikhanov. He was also invited to give a speech “Street Demonstrations and Protests – Tools for Regime Change” at Moscow State University of International Relations (MGIMO). Before he left to Malaysia, he met and gave a talk for almost 350 students (including me!) studying in Moscow. 

I need to start wearing heels again. =.='

The picture above was taken after I crashed the whole photoshoot session because I was determined to get their signatures. People were pissed at me. Duhhhh! Oh well, whatever because at the end, I got their signatures. :P

Tun's wife asked me where I got this picture. Clearly she thought that I'm a stalker.

Oh, and remember my previous post about Women's Day? So we had a day of eating, shopping, talking and gifting, it was the ultimate ladies day out I've ever done in Moscow. 

Il Patio :)

Gelato. Yummy! :D

That's all for now. Off to study Physiology!

O hai, sir! ;)

Гори, гори ясно, чтобы не погаслo!

Anyway, today we had Russian class (as usual!) and celebrated Butter Week (Ма́сленица). The most significant food of Maslenitsa is blini (Russian pancakes) that symbolize the sun. In Russia, Maslenitsa is to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring. So, we cooked blini together and played some games. And we had to throw the first pancake while saying "Гори, гори ясно, чтобы не погасло!"

After Russian class, we went to Starbucks to celebrate Women's Day. Since we don't have anyone buying flowers or presents for us (because our classmates are bunch of immature boys HA!) so we had to take the initiative ourselves. Sad, eh?

"International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day is marked on the 8th of March every year. It is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements." Wikipedia

To be honest, I didn't even know these kind of things exist until I came to Moscow. I'm not really into flowers (hey, don't blame me just because I'm more into chocolates) but when you see almost every woman holding flowers, it makes you a little bit sad. Do we ever have this kind of celebration in Malaysia? I guess the answer will be no. Why can't we celebrate Women's Day instead of Mother's Day? Oh, come on.. you know I'm right. Look, what if you're not a mother, or you're not somebody's mother or if you're an orphan, how do you celebrate Mother's Day? Let me know what you think. ;)

Buy 1 Free 1. That's how we celebrated our Women's Day. What a bunch of cheapskates =.='

Want some? ;)

P/S: I love my mom. Now, Always and Forever. :)
