1st report from Moscow (by Tony Sin)

Greetings friends in Malaysia & all round the world!!!
I'm back with an update on how life in Moscow is.

Firstly, let me introduce you all to 'Shaumar'. It contains roasted marinated meat wrapped in a piece of 'Lawash'. Its a popular Russian snack (but for me I consider it a full meal, due to its large size. LOL) which cost around 140+rubbles, or RM20+ each

It tasted like 'Siew Yuk' which is found in Malaysia, however the meat here is more tender and juicy.

The picture above shows the meat being wrapped in a piece of Lawash. Lawash is thin like our Malaysian roti tissue, but less oily, however more salty and contains spices. The texture is rough like a paper bag, maybe due to the flour used. So I just called it roti tisu tandas. Haha, I don't know much, but I know it is tasty and filling.

Here is a picture of my messy room. The bed on the left is mine, and right, my 33 years old room mate which is a orthopedic surgeon serving in a hospital nearby. By the way, he's a Syrian and has 3 different girlfriends.

The 2nd floor corridor. You can see the doors for different blocks.


The entrance to my hostel with the guard post on the right.


The walk way in front of my hostel.

Children's playground which is covered in snow.

If you all have wondered, what is the meaning of a block, actually my hostel (which is called Spartivnaya) consist of many blocks=rooms on each floor. In each block, there are 3 rooms, a kitchen, a meeting place and a toilet. So my block number is 210, while my room number is 210/2. Not so hostel like, but cant consider it to be apartment like to.

The time difference is we are 5 hours behind Malaysia(daylight saving) and the exchange rate is RM1 is 7.7rubbles, which you cant buy anything here except donating to the beggars.

So this is the end of my post. Take care and all the best to you all. Will post more pictures soon. Bye from Moscow...

G12 Gathering!

Ok, so here here's a recap of our last week's g12 class gathering. After 6 long months, I've finally managed to get half of the class together for a little gathering. Those who were present on that day were:

Hardeep, Hui Hua, Cheryl, Winnie, Preeya, Lisa, Pei Chern, Ashwini C, Sook Cheng, Weison, Tony, & Seng Chuin.

The venue:

Nandos Mid Valley

Mrs Kalpana was also present last Saturday, it was real nice of her to drop by, as she actually had something on later on the very same night.

So by around 5.30pm, almost all of them were present, minus Tony, Weison, Sook Cheng, & Seng Chuin. We sat down at a small corner, which was...

RESERVED specially for us

...and did a lil catching up. It was real nice to meet everyone, especially after not seeing each other for such a long time. Here's the 1st class pic we took:

Oh, and in case you were wondering who the on the right was, its Lisa's bf. Here's a larger pic of the happy couple, sorry Lisa, hahaha

At around 5.50pm, these 2 guys finally showed up...
Where they both went, I have no idea, haha. Weison droved, a spanking brand new sexy black Suzuki Swift! Apparently they had to park at the Gardens as parking in Mid Valley was already full.

Once everyone was there, we managed to all gather around to take a class pic:

Take 1

Take 2
Winnie's head's behind mine in both pics, I'm truly sorry, haha

Here are the other photos:

Everyone was delighted to see Mrs Kalpana, I certainly was too!

You know what...?

It somehow seems like...

... Cheryl's face just keeps appearing on every photo...

RIGHT??! hahaha

Mrs Kalpana, Hardeep, Hui Hua, & Winnie left soon after, at around 6. Not long after that we decided to finally order our meals, peri-peri chicken!

Pei Chern decided to take the risk and order the special set of the day...

Before the food arrived i decided to pull out my birthday surprise plan of the day for Sook Cheng. I've managed to get this Mud Chocolate Cake from Zen before we went to Nandos, and with Cheryl's help, I've managed to smuggle it into Nandos without Sook Cheng's knowledge.

Initially, my plan was to get Sook Cheng to order the so called special desert of the day from the waiter, which would be a signal for the cake, & when the cake arrived, we would all sing a birthday song for her. But alas, the plan did not work...as usual. The manager of the place told me that the refrigerators were all full with stuff, and that the remaining ones were out of service.

So Cheryl and I had to go to one corner, manually light the candle and bring it to Sook Cheng. Well, nevertheless, it wasn't too bad. Sook Cheng did not expect it, as least that's what i hoped. But well, it was better than nothing. She seemed happy with the cake and that's worth every single bit of the effort for me. Thanks so much to Cheryl for all the help you gave, haha, doing surprises is just not my kind of thing.

Happy Brithday Sook Cheng!A present from Pei Chern to Sook Cheng

We managed to get some cake on her face too

After waiting for quite a while, the waiter finally arrived with our food. Here's what i had:

Mild peri-peri chicken with 2 side dishes and a glass of bottomless iced lemon tea

But guess what Pei Chern had?! Her special set of the day turned out to be...some...hangman stick with a plate on the base and a long nail-like stick hanging from the top, scary-looking i must say, haha, i dunno how to describe it, have a look for yourself...

We sat down and continued cahtting as we ate, and how does time fly, before we know it, it was already 7.30. We decided to make a move...but there was just 1 problem...settling the bill. Apparently the person at the cashier did not want to separate the bill, so we stood around a table and started applying our superb mathematical skills. It was funny i tell you...it took us around 10 minutes to finally settle the bill, and the discussion was so intense that it just felt like one of those PBL sessions we nave in uni, haha.

Too many RM50 notes...too little change...

So with that, we bid our farewells and went back home. It was a great gathering, being able to meet up with everyone after so many months in uni. Thanks so much to all of you guys for popping by. Hopefully in time to come, i shall be able to organise another one and have all our g12s there. Do keep in touch alright? Take care and see all of you g12s in the not too distant future!

G!2!!!

O yea, before i end this entry, check this out, ...i saw this not long before i arrived at Nandos, around 4pm at the lower ground level, in front of Carrefour:

These are actually REAL LIVE people, i thought they were dummies! I saw these before in Venice, Italy, but it certainly was shocking to see Maxis using this to promote their Activ10, haha, i really wonder how much they were paid by the hour...that's if they could last there for an hour! There were actually aunties posing with these poor people. Now we have a candidate for the worst job in Malaysia. Haha, ok, take care g12!

Let's all meet up this sat!

Here's d confirmed stuff after weeks of waiting:

Venue: Nandos Mid Valley (its on the LOWER GROUND, south court if i've not mistaken)
Date : 5 July, Sat
Time : 5-7pm (couldn't get lunch time, cause its peak period)

Some of our g12 lecturers might be there this saturday too, i'll confirm with them soon. Alright, see all of you guys there!

July 5, Sat (confirmed date)

Alright, so sorry for the delay. Let me confirm a few things for the gathering:

Date: July 5, Sat
Time: around NOON (latest being tea time, though we can chill around til dinner time)
Venue: Most probably Mid Valley

The date has been confirmed, that's for sure. Same goes for the time, it'll be around noon, and i thought of having it at Mid Valley, though the only problem now is, getting a place that can accommodate 20+ people during lunch hour on a Saturday afternoon. Most restaurants there won't allow pre-booking during the weekend, as it is usually packed with people then, so i'm afraid we might not be able to get a place to fit all of us there.

Anyhow, i'll be working on it, and will inform all of you as soon as possible. If any of you know of a place that might be suitable for our gathering and is also convenient in terms of accessibility, do tell me ok? Thanks

July 12, Saturday (wee kiat)

Ok, let's hv our class gathering on the 12th of July, Saturday, venue not confirmed, most probably in Mid Valley. So, what do u all say?

Booya!

Haha. Never in my life would I have ever imagined myself doing something like this. Hmm.
It feels kinda weird too, I mean, my first ever public published blog post :O On G12's page.

Anyways, since the whole page seemed pretty dead and all that. Here comes Kelly reporting from Monash~! Haha. Whoosh. You know, it's already May and all that. Everyone has definitely moved on from G12 one way or another. It's strange. I know I never really was close to many of us/you/G12-ians. Somehow, we didn't really seem all that together, huh?

That was only after the first few months, though. But I NEVER was in the whole together thing so what the heck.

I mean, I remember being super pissed. Haha. Like SUPER, *insert the word here* kinda pissed, when my photo just HAD to turn up in the Winangali. Or how my email was actually wrong. Lol. I thought I should just throw a bomb and blow up the place. Uh-huh. Well, if anyone actually gives a shit, my CORRECT contact could be obtained from my Facebook :D Go fix your mag. Hahah.

Well, it's my 11th or 12th week in Monash and I've met a few other people from SAM. People I've seen before, people I've never, people I'd never thought I'd meet, people I've been DYING to meet (lol) and the such. It's sorta strange how some people would have probably noticed you before. How you would have recognized others but they would have not, you.

It's funny. I could have picked up something you dropped.
Or just passed by you speaking really loud.

A brush on the shoulder, and never again.

It's funny. How we walk in and out of people's life. Slipping in, like water through tiny cracks. And leaving in exactly the same way. Sometimes even, unnoticed.

I do kinda regret a little, that I'm almost always never there. In any of the functions we ever had. Always off, somewhere else, with other people. That I never really got to know certain people better and all that.

But I don't think that it could have turned out any other way, then how it already did.

Welllll, it's been Kelly DoinkerSs.

G!2 Gathering.....in progress(wee kiat)
