from russia with love

it has been exactly 25 days since i left malaysia. and the truth is, i've been missing home ever since i got here. i could not even begin to say what i miss most.

ramadhan passed by without me realising it. with classes and lectures, there wasn't much time to think about eating. it will soon be the fourth aidilfitri that i'll be spending far away from home. i thought i would get used to it, but i supposed, i never will. i am not sure what the plans are for this year, although i am not in the mood for another hassle at the malaysian embassy. classes will be on as usual, so i guess raya is not much of raya as i will be spending the first of syawal in the classroom, studying pathological anatomy =.=".

my roommate and i met our new housemate today. we're not very happy to see her actually. the new housemate is an indian from india, a 6th year student. point no. 1 of being a student in russia: indian students from india are dirty. only indians from india can survive living in the same apartment with another indian from india. my roommate and i tried our best to stay positive about this - hey, who knows, maybe she's not like any other indians from india. but we grew to resent her as she came with an arrogant attitude, with no respect for my roommate and me. despite that, both, my roommate and i, wanted to welcome her to the apartment with a smile. well, they say a smile is contagious. hopefully we will get along with the new housemate.

moscow's getting colder day by day. autumn's here. the leaves are turning yellow, and falling from the trees. if there is one thing i miss about malaysia, it would the warm tropical climate with no unpredictable weather. the sun shines almost everyday, and you get to sweat everyday... haha. but moscow on the other hand, makes you want to climb into bed and hibernate all day long =).

i am missing home as i speak. with raya around the corner, i can imagine what it is like at home right now. everyone should be back home by this weekend, mama will soon start anyam-ing the ketupat, ewa will be occupied with her school work and at the same time trying her best to keep up with the tv shows and raya preps, kak dea will always lending her hand... abg zabid? let's just say that he's occupied too ;-P. as for bapak... hurm, let's see, he'll be busy cleaning around the house? hehe.. i wonder how the dodol turned out for this year... been three years since i last taste our family's dodol.

anyways, this is bahiyah from russia, with lots of love. dengan ucapan selamat hari raya. memohon ampun dan maaf, dari hujung rambut ke hujung kaki atas segala silap dan salah. makan kuih raya ingat-ingat ler orang yang jauh ni... =D

Baya... dodol tahun ni best!! Mungkin pasal Irwan dan Rusdi ada. Mama ada ambil 5 bungkus - satu Ewa ambil and satu bagi kat kak Shu untuk bawa ke Jakarta. Yg tinggal kat rumah, dah habis!! Nak pos kat Baya tapi mahal sangat postage nya!! Tahun depanlah.... bila Baya balik, kita kacau dodol dulu!!
Roommate yg baru tu.... mama dah pesan hari tu, kan! Jgn pendam dlm hati.. kalau tak suka apa2, bagi tahu! Kalau dia pengotor, bagi tahu! Get the other girl to assist you. Kena set the rules from the beginning... kalau tak nanti, dia naik kepala!! Susah Baya pulak!!!
