Dark Knight was highly entertaining, they should really make movies as long as this...haha, at least the ringgit was well spent ;) The late heath ledger was brilliant in his role. Sadly he will not be gracing the silver screens no more.

Secondly, sorry thum n musle because i wont be able to join u guys in d KL marathon on the 24th. Am already summoned for my induction course beginning next thursday in JB. It will last till the 31st , yes Merdeka Day and a couple of days after that I am expected to report in for duty at the appointed hospital. SO yes, i'm going off to work pretty soon.

I actually wanted more time to hang around, spend more time with my family, friends n to just sit back n relax. The government seems to have other ideas, what to do?? they are my employers... i employee-NO SAY

At the same time i'm leaving home, my sis is also leaving home for her stint with Starcruises... how cool is that? wished i could swap places but i doubt she wanna swap places with me to see blood and all the patients in the wards... not that im complaining, i am very eager to begin my work as a doctor. My ambition achieved and being put to good use at last!

I have still a long list of things to do and people to meet before i begin work. No time to lose.

2 weeks later

2 weeks later and ;

got myself a job with the government, went for the interview and now awaiting the posting letter from KKM.(Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia)

visited Tamarind Springs Restaurant which in my opinion has wonderful ambience and indo-chinese cuisine. Pretty romantic setting, a must visit for the couples looking to celebrate Valentines, Birthdays, Anninversaries etc.

Still haven't watched "the Dark Knight"

Got in touch with futsal once again, msian kaki's are waking up!

Negaraku?

16th July- * Touched down at KLIA.
*Operation 'simba' = 100% success
* Had my first msian meal (curry mee & satay) in 2 years- yummo!
* Saw my pet shitzu which has grown to be an obedient and people friendly but smells a lil"doggie"
* slept soundly knowing i don't have to wake up and go to the 'renak'(market in russian) or anywhere else in Ukraine just to waste time waiting for the days to pass me by.

p/s: my number is 012-2402836. thank you anandini, hung yee, wern may and Thum for the wishes;) same to you to Dr. Anandini.

Graduated!

So finally i put on the robe and set foot on stage to receive my scroll last Friday. It certainly happened too fast but I guess I'm officially a Doctor now. Thanks for all the congratulatory wishes from you people.

meanwhile, I'm just counting the days for my flight back home.

Phew! at long last my journey here in Ukraine is coming to an end. I sure am glad that it is and there are too many memories to pinpoint as my most memorable. I cannot forget my very first day here. I arrived here back in August 27th 2002 together with some familiar faces back from school which certainly made things easier. The send-off 17 hours earlier in KLIA certainly wasn't easy but here I was, in Ukraine about to embark on a brand new chapter in my life. I didn't know what to expect but I was prepared for the worst. The first sentence uttered by one particular 2nd year senior seated in front of me as soon as we landed certainly didn't help with the nerves. It went like pilot : welcome to Simferopol ïnternational"airport (in some broken english) 2nd year senior: daym, welcome back to sh**-hole. myself : whhat did he just say?? no no...

Since it's out first time in this country, the immigration registration took ages. I think it lasted well over midnight. One thing i discovered quickly after a visit to the loo was that Ukrainian cockroaches was 1/10th its flying, filthy counterparts which was a point for Ukraine (Ukr 1 - 0 Mas). Many hours later, we finally boarded a specially arranged bus by my agent to bring us back to the hostel. I just remembered seeing endless darkness until the familiar "golden arches"appeared which was a good sign of civilization or so i thought.

Upon reaching the hostel, the temperature took a dip and it was around 17 degrees celcius ( genting highland temp.) so being the msian who just arrived, it was certainly uncomfy and shocking. I just remembered the arrival being very low_keyed and we were quickly brought into a room. 3 of us, Suresh, Puvanesh and myself. Water, HOT water was a luxury here. Russia and Ukraine switches off HOT water supply during the Summer months and August is still considered summer. Cold water that runs from it's pipe is 15 degrees so I struggled a bit, ok.. a LOT because i didn't enjoy cold baths even back in Msia. Food was what maggee and anything that we knew how to order and back in those days, it was Cola Abalon and Chicken Chilli. Mind you it was the most popular set meal.

These are all still very clear in my head. It will certainly replay once more as I walk up that stage to receive my scroll this coming Friday. :)
