I think this is funny

Snow+spring=today s weather.

Yesterday was Valentine's day. I spent it in the room watching some movies and studied my textbooks. The movie called Blood diamonds is a great movie but i think the fantasy flick called Night at the museum is just a 2out of 5. Had long day at the gynae department. Long time waiting , long time in classroom writing and long time in the hall.

Some people are broken hearted on Valentine s day. Some just want to rest and for some it was like any other days. Those luckier ones went out for their date and be with the loved ones.

Today snow was melting and how i wish someone would carry me to cross the street so my boots wont be wet...how sad...the inbetween of winter and spring..i heard they said next month will be spring. So soon eh?

Weird day

The morning started slow as i woke up a little too early for class. I took my sweet time this morning having coffee and on the computer-Mr.GIgan. But he is getting older and lamer. Perhaps i used him a little too much to surf the net for vagina and female reproductive system materials for the cycle. So Gigan went goo gaa! Sorry i was just kidding.

As usual i traveled across the seas of people and hang on the metro and then hang myself again in the trolleybus as i was short to be holding the bars above me while standing. I sort of felt like holding some monkey bar.

I went to the Gaderob to find the old lady collecting the coats hiding behind the door! So i shouted Drastvuite! She was still behind the door, hmmm...wondering what she was doing then only i realised there was a mirror...Oooo. I thought she was hiding from me..who knows maybe my coat has some problem..

Then i went up to the 7th floor the gynae department of Hosp 55 in Shabolovskaya metro. Then some really bad mood nurse shouted at me, don't stand here u are blocking my way! So i moved. The day went like usual. To the clinics we went and see some patients. When the patients realised there were 7 of us , some got excited and made noises outside the examination/procedure room.
Came to us one young lady, like usual she ll have to take off her underwear and sit on the exam chair with her legs up. But oH UH she forgot the cloth*individual ones * to cover the seating area. Instead of wearing her underwear back and go out to take the cloth she left at the waiting area, She ran out and covered her behind with her hands!It was hilarious! Oh God! She must be embarrassed to death! I' d rather not live after that kind of moment!

I tired hard to control my laughter in order not to make her feel embarrassed but she smiled at us! We all(i mean only me) just burst into tears! Holding the laughter inside so our professor wont nag at us for laughing. So instead tears came out!

Then like usual we have lectures that never seemed to have endings-the so called never ending stories best to put you to sleep. And every time when i fell asleep with weird poses there will be the weird Russian guy who looks at me when i doze off. How embarrassing!Uhuhu....For that reason i ll try not to fall asleep but i still cant stop myself from doing that day after day!

Yeah my mind floats sometimes thinking about going skating in the weekends!hahahaha.
And Yeah, why does everyone keeps talking about Valentines. Sheeshh!totally depressing. COme on! MAn!

Skating day in park gorki -the park for gorks

Friday was the day i waited for , after witnessing abortions at the clinic s surgical room, i cant stop myself from feeling disgusted and nauseous.

But friday evening turned out to be the greatest time skating in my entire life. I never had so much fun skating with friends or anyone before.
Gorki Park is an excellent place to learn to skate and enjoy the scenery. I was lucky to find myself a friend, Stepan who loves ice hockey and of course, he can skate very well. He guided me and scared me a few times but in the end it was really really fun!
The music and the ambience was great!The lights were lit and it never looked so beautiful at night in such park before!..He was very funny and careful at the same time. Indeed i had such a great time. He bought me some kind of wine *but i forgot the name of the wine. HA-HA...=)

korean food supper

In mega we tried sushi and after that we went to korean food restaurant called Jasmine inside Hotel Salute.Pretty a hidden place. I ordered Kimbab and some soup spicy can contain taufu pieces with kimchee salat. The rest same along v rice and multiple dishes for free. We chatted untill 11.35pm and realised it was late and we were the only ones left there.
We took 281 bus and go to metro Yugo zapadnaya and from there we took bus 718.And head home.

Skating in mega.

yo!yO! hear ye hear ye!isk hehehe..i ve got new skates!gonna take up this new hobby to the next level..After trip from st pete, i found newly improved,slightly better way on the ice.The stadium in st pete was nice.Lots of space less skaters. Improved alot since the 1st time. The stadium skating (1hour) session did gave me some insight and by the 4th time in the ring i managed to learn to stabilise myself on the ice even with stupid ridicilous moves,i can still be standing on the ice!

St petersburg fever.

DAY 1(02.feb.07)= Took train by night at about 12am, luckily i have a friend to accompany me at the station as the rest took different trains on different time. Had great chat with him.
The moment i stepped into the train i noticed the very homey touch to the decor. Lucky for me the bunk was shared by nice people( and old man who slept early, A man and a woman who were partners in some business) I made friends and had great time chatting
When i visited the toilet, i cant find the flush which was below the seat. I saw a rolling knob and tried that,funny thing was i even pulled out a broom/mop as i thought it was the flush too!heehaws this was so embarrassing!Then came the time for me to wash my hands, again....i cant find the tap!so luckily i found the way to use it..Not bad huh for an Asian mice like me to be trapped in the small cubicle. I survived!!ha ha

I cant really sleep in the bunk bed. I was really tired but i cant fall into sleep like usual,i wont be sleeping at night. Sleep and wake cycle disturbed by exam routines. Or perhaps it was just the jittery feeling i felt excited over the trip.

Day 2(03 Feb 07)=Upon reaching the station, i saw the difference between Moscow and Pete. It was warm morning and was greeted with warmth by special friend who was waiting at the station. We went to the mini hotel Most near the station and rest awhile. The first place we visited was the Aquanarium which was situated inside a mall. The place wasn't so large or as huge as Singaporean one. Since Someone insisted to have BIG TASTY , we all just join in without any comments.
Gleb has other plans for me and wenli that was to visit the border of Finland and gulf of Finland but someone BIG wanted to go around the places so let the BIG boy be as we don't mind walking around the city at the time being.
We walked to Hermitage, museums,the small island, across the bridge, parks, the St.Pete s Kremlin,Almost all over the places including St Isaac's cathedral where we can see the whole city from the high building.
Decided to call it a day when our boots are all wet and tired. We went back to the hotel and rest for a while ,then went to Subway for dinner. But Gleb, me and wenli agreed for some sushi but since one of us don't want to ,we all went to Subway and have sandwiches with other 2 Russian friends. But being rude,some sat at the other table. Gleb told me that we can try the unfiltered beer here in St. Pete. I thought we will be going on foot to that place ,but by right we are going there by car owned by the other Russian friend.
So only 2 of us can go. Least did i know that the beer comes only in mugs as the bartender tapped it from the large tank. At first i thought those beers come in cans or bottles , so i cant take home some for the rest of my friends(so called).
As i reached the hotel i noticed some sarcasm from some people making remarks like*eh so soon?*Regretfully i felt for inviting them to come along.

I have great fun in the hotel playing pillow fight with wenli and had good night sleep.Though we can hear the other room clearly Mostly complaints and sarcasms. Really don't need that in such leisure trip. Spoiling my mood to the core!

Day3 05 Feb 07= The morning started late as we were all tired. The break fast was great but i heard some complaints again! This time was how other people had stomach ache from the subway sandwich, How come me and wenli didn't get it??SO what it had to do with me??It is my fault again bringing them to subway? It wasn't my idea in the first place! Are they really trying to get on my nerves??
The first place we went was the ice rink on the stadium. I had the greatest time there. My skates were very uncomfortable and after 1 hour use, the pain on the ankle made some difficulties for me to walk on the normal area, so Gleb just carried me to the changing area. Still i heard some comments from My so called friends. I didn't even complained when some of them made many embarrassing moments during the trip!STUPID People!really regretting it!
Since i ha vent tasted the sushi ,Gleb invited the Russian friends and we took car to the restaurant and had great dinner. But when it was time to leave, fount out that the friend's car was taken away by the council as he parked the car at the wrong place!
It was difficult ,my phone was low in battery and the friend panicked . Everyone was worried and when i got the hold of Gleb 's phone i called peter right away. At least to inform them i ll be late for the meeting.
Finally, we decided to take metro back to the hotel to collect our things. It was 9pm. But Wei soon was still drinking tea sipping, and the rest was resting. And i thought we were late!No one seemed to be bothered thought *someone kept saying "OH we ware late, dress up,and repeating it*but still none made move. So we all sat there until 9.30.Then we went to the train station when Gleb told me that i dint need to go to the station so soon as my ticket was 1 hour later, so we spent some time with the other 2 Russian friends and had cuppa coffee at coffee house.

So it's the end of the trip as i boarded the train. This time it was even nicer as i shared the bunk with 3 other young Russian girls and we Had great fun getting to know each other.
Day4 05 Feb 07= Finally i was back in Moscow. took metro and got myself safely home.

How i feel about this trip= stupid remarks made by others without any proper reasons to made the trip stressful. Regretted a lot inviting some people who was not suppose to be invited and those who came uninvited who made remarks!They are the same.
No more next time i learnt my lessons well. I d rather enjoy my trip with someone who loves me and can get along especially my roomie. Less company less troubles less complaints.
Trips are supposed to be enjoyable and relaxing. But anyway will be going there soon again in the weekends and this time no more other people.So we can go wherever we wanted and whenever we wanted.
Other than that, my trip was great and eye opening. I saw the difference between lifestyle between people living in 2 different city. The buildings are beautiful and i love the river which runs through the city..The architecture was superb so much more to offer than Moscow city.
I cant say i didn't enjoy my dinner at the SUSHI bar, i did enjoy it but just felt a little awkward with Russian friends. They smoke and drank beer as they have dinner...
walking in the cold in st petersburg are much more pleasant as here people are more towards strolling than rushing here and there.
