at the finishing line...

Its 3:36 am here in Krakow, Poland... educational and cultural hub of poland. This place has the age-old feel to it, every street and building seems to have a story of its own to tell, in a way similar to Prague, Czech Republic.
Its my final night of my euro trip before i begin the long journey back to Simferopol, Ukraine and "phew" , has it been one helluva a ride... so much memories in a space of 3 weeks, can't believe that i'm almost done with my long termed planned euro trip.

So much to blog and will do so when i have the capacity to do it, i'm, actually on a toilet break halfway through my sleep!!!

goodnight and sleep tight krakow...ZzzzzZZzz

So long , farewell...

9th July 2007 will always be remembered as a special day for me... the day my beloved grandpa departed for the heavens... received a sms from my mum yesterday afternoon...informing me about the sudden news.. didn't know that his condition was already deteriorating

Dear grandpa, i will never forget the memories we had and all those lil' chats we've had eversince i knew you... love you grandpa...

strawberries

Strawberries, i cannot speak more highly of them... full of flavour and full of vitamin C...
The S-season comes once a year... from the month of June to end of July over in Europe.. more specifically Ukraine... where i am in. Up till date i've eaten a meagre amount of about 10 kgs of strawberries... but my average amount would be somewhere near double... but this time of the year of course... it's like 6 ringgit per KG here people..=P

however, TRAGEDY has struck SIMFEROPOL,UKRAINE... due to the unexpected heat wave that hit this part of the world too soon in this season, my beloved S-season has come to a pre-mature end... how could this ever happen? don't they have any back-up plans, shouldn't they have predicted this since global warming is on the rise? what are people like me going to do when we have that unsatiable desire for the S-fruit..? oh well....

sincerely,

strawberry addict turned watermelon addict ...

Hooray!

yes people, one more year to go. For those who know me, that's 365 more days before i can return to "tanahairku" for good. Then again, it depends on whether i'll be practising back there. I can't really say at this point. Got a call from my dear old friend yesterday, thanks man... good to hear a familiar voice from back home =) As how the quote goes, time does indeed flashes by u. Was talking to my housemate last night, and we were just sipping down a cold can of *juice* and just reminiscing the good times and bad times we've had over the years... everything that happens during our final year will probably be the last ones we're ever gonna experience as students... yes, i'm finally going to STOP being a student. Took me a long while but i hope it'll be worth it.

For those who would be saying,"ur coming out as a doctor..."... you know people. it's not as glamour as you think it is and it's not even financially rewarding as you really think it is. Our malaysian medical system is somewhat far far away from achieving the developed nation's standards...

Well, all in all i'm glad that my exams are over... now to just kick back and relax....

Distractions

I can't concentrate enough ~argh. =(
My concentration span is worse than a 3 year old's =(
It's my last paper in a few days time =)
Then i'll be officially in my final year as a med student =/
i'll be having a good trip before that =)
but i know there's no turning back this time next year... =/

Exam fever...

Argh... the summer exams are killing me...it's been so draggy. 5 exams all in all with 3 days of break in between. What's even worse is seeing my friends leave this dreaded country one by one while i'll be staying put here throughout summer. then again, it's a personal choice. I've decided to use this final summer break to go see some parts of europe. More on that after my exams.

Internet connection is not as convenient as it used to be, i'm actually blogging from the Cyber cafe... not very comfortable but i just needed to write something... just felt inspired to update after such a long while.

My small sis is over in the states... working n travelling... the last i heard she was stranded somewhere but i hope she's arrived safely in the states and already embarking on a brand new adventure in her life. Also, a belated Congratulations to you upon your graduation. I should be joining you soon in the next phase of life... how embarassing...=P

That's all for now.

no wonder

i seldom browse through my blog and see how it actually looks like , till today that is. And something struck me hard, real hard... something was amiss...and i scrolled further down and found the reason. My blog lacks pictures, just bla bla bla and no pictures. I'm sure you'll know which famous sentence i'll be using next.

I'm suppose to be getting ready for lecture which begins in another hour but somehow i felt this urge to write/ type something. Can't believe it's March already... another year and 3 more months before i complete my degree. Most of the time, when i chat with long lost friends on MSN/yahoo or messages on Friendster... everybody's almost asking the same question all over again.. no no, don't get me wrong,i'm not a lil bit irritated but just for the record.. its June 2008. why does it seem like i'm studying forever? well, the course is 6 years to begin with... and i started in 2002.. so do the math. It's just the system here in comparison with Malaysia or India for example. That's why Dr. Ben will be graduating by the end of this year.. lucky him=)

Just in case i don't post in the next few weeks... i want to wish all my lady friends.. a Happy Women's Day.. it's next thursday by the way. Its a REAL BIG DEAL here in Ukraine.. public holiday somemore!! So guys, do make some effort to celebrate this day ...
