Alright. I am here again to blog. My room is so cozy and comfortable now that I can sleep throughout the whole day after putting up my curtain! My roommates and I are all like in the hibernation mood. Anyway, few days back, I talked to a friend of mine who I flew back to Malaysia with during my summer break! We talked about how crazy we were to take the risk to change our departure date back to Malaysia to the same day we sat for our exam. FYI, if we do fail that exam, we won’t be able to fly back home. Thank God, we managed to go through the exam, not only going through the exam but went through it with an excellent mark!
21st June 2011! That was the craziest day I’ve been through in Moscow! I never slept the whole night before I sat for my exam. The tension limit hit the maximum level as all sorts of questions were going through my mind at that moment. Some of the questions was,
~ What if I didn’t get through my exam?
~What will go wrong if I miss my flight?
~What will happen to me if I don’t return my books to the library?
~What will happen if there is some other documentations to handle before going back is not done?
Imagining all these sorts of questions going through my mind while I have to prepare for my exam? My dad did told me that, I was taking a big risk but well, thankfully everything went smoothly. Not forgetting the moment where my senior who is already a Doctor now, Dr. Cham, who sent me off on that day! He really solved a lot of my problems in Moscow since the day that I came to Moscow.
Us in Amman, Jordan while waiting for the next flight back to Malaysia!
Just missed that moment a lot right now!
What did I do back in Malaysia?
Going around every places to grab awesome food was the main thing that I do during my summer break! Gained 10kg! Yeah, 10kg it is! Besides, I planned a short trip with my family to Bandung, Indonesia too! Been wanting to go to Bandung to have a look and finally I get to go there! I felt so thankful that I was born in Malaysia! As what my dad who told me when we were at Bandung, ‘It is good to come to these kind of country once a while to make you all awake’. Well, that is seriously true!

Next, it’s about the event ‘PROBASIS’ which I’ve attended under KUMOSK! One word to describe this event, AWESOME!
It was an event where we go to a school, SK Nyalas, Melaka to give them some motivational talks and to keep them preoccupied for 2 nights and at the end of the day, giving free medical check ups to all the residents of that area. We actually went to Hospital Sungai Buloh first to get some basic medical hands-on lessons before heading to Malacca on the first day. So, we left to Malacca in the morning the following day.
The first day of being in the school was just awesome! Well, most of them guessed that I am a Malay during the introduction phase. As usual, it is difficult to get close with all of the kids during the first day so it’s a little awkward during a few moments but it gets better as time passes by.
During this event, I’ve learnt a lot of things from the kids back there! Yeah, I am there to motivate them but at the same time, they, the kids, who are 10 times younger than us motivated me. My eyes were widely opened and my heart was so free to accept every single thing that I’ve experienced back then. We had breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper together for the 2 nights stay over there! During meal time, they even greet everyone to have their meals first before starting to eat.
During my last meal with them!
Not to forget the awesome food cooked by Mak Ngah back there!
Next, before they go to bed, they greet good night to you! I really miss the ‘salam-salaman’ part every night when I was back there in their school! I really do feel that specific feeling that I couldn’t get to experience else where.
Every morning, when the bell rings sharp at 5am, all of them will wake up right away! Yes, they really leave their beds within a minute! Less than a minute I could say! Can I do that everyday? I sincerely would say, NO. All of them will just jump of their bed and hit to the toilet to get ready for their morning prayers at the surau. I was shocked when I first saw them waking up that fast on the first morning. Because of this, I woke up at 5am throughout the event! I was amazed by their act. They were just so disciplined.
It’s kind off dark but try looking at the duration of time they took to leave their beds! *hats off*
I slept in their unit for 2 nights! They were the one who made my bed the first night after I woke up! I was seriously shocked and I did my own bed the next day itself.
During the last day, we did the medical check up for the residents there! And finally it’s time to say goodbye to them. I miss them a lot! Would also want to wish them all the best for their future undertakings!
My group during that event!
Till then.
