Hoodies





I have always been wanting to wear and buy a jacket than has a hood with it (hoodie). Everytime I see my friends wearing it, I will always look at it very enviously. But since these hoodies which I see in my native country is very expensive and are normally things that I would never wear back in my homeland cause of the hot weather, hence I never buy any of these.
Ever since I came here to Russia which is a 4 seasoned country, I have always wanted to buy it, though price is always something that I would consider first.
Today, when eating in the mall while waiting for the time to pass for the next class, me and my friends went to one of the shops at the lower levels that is well known for its cheapness (New Yorkers) and had a look at the sales that they were having at the moment.
Then, I saw hoodies on sales. Then I went drooling all over the hoodies that were on sale. Eventually I gave into the temptation and bought the cheapest hoodie for an amount of rub 699.
What that was most absurd was, I lost my ATM card a few weeks ago and have not received my replacement card. Currently I am living off borrowed money from my friend that was kind enough to allow me to borrow some money till I get my card.
I only borrowed 1000rub yesterday night and today I have used almost all of it. I feel so bad to borrow more money from her again.
Another thing I have to say is sorry mum and dad for spending money on stuff that is not really necessary. Really sorry
But ... I really like and will treasure this new jacket of mine!

Post Games






It has been quite some time since I last posted a new blog and that was because I was busy with studies before and had the intervarsity games after my exams. As of now, the games has passed, the fun time is over. It is high time I find back my rhythm to get back into the mood and idea of study.
As for the results of the games, my university- Kursk State Medical University as the host, having an advantage of home ground won the overall champion. As for the sports I was playing, the volleyball, we emerged as the 1st place and bagged the gold medal after competing with 4 other universities.
I personally had a lot of fun during the 3 days during which the intervarsity games were held. Mixing around with students and friends from other places and universities. Being able to play against other volleyball teams. All in all, I really enjoyed the duration of those 3 spectacular days.
I will be uploading only a few picture which I think looks better here and if those of you who wants to see more can just log into Facebook and find pictures of me there.
Since the games are over now and all the hardwork we have been doing in order to bag the victory has now been taken off our shoulders, most of my groupmates are currently either sick or on the verge of getting sick. I sincerely hope and wish all those out there who are sick that they will get well soon and recover from their sick state.
Oh yeah, the university is now selling curry puffs for rub 13 for each and I love them. Will try to take picture of one and upload it the next time. Thanks to the Malaysian Ambassador who manage to ask the university cafeteria to sell it and to those who taught the cafeteria members how to prepare this wonderful dish ^^

Pregames

Today is the day before the games. The intervarsity games that is held once in a year and it so happens that this year's games is being held in my town. I had to go for classes today and I had some major exams today and I just heard this morning that we are going to have some light training during the evening in front of the hostel.
I hope everything will turn out alright, despite that I feel underprepared and that the comittee hasn't really being preparing for the event (i am guessing this as I still do not feel any pre games atmosphere or maybe it is because that I am not paying much attention to what is happening around me)
Anyway, I am looking forward to these 3 days where I can give my full attention on playing my sports and forget about studies just like those times I had when I was competing in the national competitions. How I miss those days.
Though, at the end of this week and the competition is not something I will want to look forward to as we are having quite a lot of studying to do and the material that we need to prepare is like A LOT.
So, I will just cross my fingers and hope that everything will go smoothly and hopefully we will emerge as the champion both in my event (volleyball) and the grand champion.

Feelings and thoughts


Have you ever watch a movie and see the main characters not being able to be together? Have you ever felt the heartache? The feeling of pity that somehow they just missed one another by one single step?
Sometimes, when somethings are missed while not paying attention to it, no matter how hard you try to find and remake the same situation. It will never be the same, as there are no two objects in the world that are the same. The water flowing at the same part of the river may look alike, but they are never found to be the same, like all the snow flakes that falls gently down, they, are too, never ever the same
Pay attention to everything around us as sometimes when we do not pay attention, someone or something interesting might be happening and if we miss that special moment, it can never ever be captured again.
