Brunch-ing

Today is Saturday! Meaning it's weekdays. I wakes up late. Supposedly, I'm assigned to be the cooker for today but end up waking up late so we all had brunch! Nasi Lemak! By that everyone is satisfied since it's been awhile they had Nasi Lemak ever since we arrived here in Egypt. (Yay, for Malaysian food! XD) Gratz for my cousin for being a mother today! Hope I can see the child soon. It's going to be Eid Adha soon~ and sadly unlike the year before and before and before...I won't be able to celebrate it with my family, huhu. Though, I'll get to tour around Alexandria this year Eid Adha! (Hopefully)

Hypocrity

Sometimes, people can't avoid being a hypocrite. Don't deny it, no matter how good of a person you are, there's a time when you'll be one. However, there's a limit as to how hypocrite you can get. I personally hates overly hypocrite peoples. Like...when we ask to borrow something they act like they didn't care however we want to use it and in fact offered it themselves and when we do borrow it they talks behind our backs. Really, if you hated us so much don't bother to act all nice and sweet towards us then! What? "Judge a book by it's cover?" where the heck did you get that idea? Just because you wears something that makes you look like a really nice person that you wouldn't even talk behind people back you think people won't know what lies underneath that clothing? How close minded can you be? No matter how good or how modest your clothing may be, but if that heart of yours bear such bad thoughts...then it's useless. It just makes you worst than an already-look-like-a-bad-person person. That attitude is definitely despicable and you are expecting people to respect you?

Trip

I've gone on a trip to Cairo last Saturday sponsored by the university. The trip was only for Malaysian students though of course there are gonna be few Arabians (few lecturers, couple of students and few staff) following as well. We were told to gather at the main entrance of the university before 7:30 am...and being so un-punctual person I am...I wake up late! Even the other house mate of mine wakes up late! We were rushing early in the morning only to find out that we were the earliest one arriving at the university (pft!!). Well, it's not such a bad thing though arriving early since we end up taking photos around the university which we haven't had the opportunity before (I might post it in here...depends...) ...and did I mention how the temperature here have been getting colder? I actually end up not bringing my jacket (it was so damn cold that morning! and I was always feeling like pee-ing...haha) As everyone were coming around as usual we who were known as 'budak baitulmal' as usual gather around and our mood were horribly spoiled. Apparently, a senior wasn't satisfied with what we're wearing. She suddenly snap at us! I was like...seriously! It's not like we didn't 'tutup aurat' just because we wears pants (and may I add...the pant is not tight! It's loose!) and a blause (which only slightly above the knee) I mean...it's above the K-N-E-E! not above our butt!! (our butt were completely covered...so just what is wrong with her?) ...and to make things worst she only attack us the 'bb' (I'm shortening the 'budak baitulmal' to 'bb') they're even other people who wears just like us (there were even worst ones...but not in really really worst! just worst if compared to us) Though, we just brushed it off and think happy thoughts ignoring that senior. She doesn't have any rights to tell us what we're supposed and not supposed to do! Let's not talk about that unpleasant thing anymore...and so we were told that we're going to visit the pharaoh village and I (I don't know about other people) was hugely disappointed when we end up in Pharaonic Village instead. (notice the capital letters people!) Yes, it's only an exhibition and we only get to see the replicas only not the real thing! What a big fat lie! After wasting for some-people-may-know-but-not-me hours there we went to City Star. It's a mall located at City of Star, Cairo...and gosh! Isn't the clothing there stylish? and gosh! Isn't the price even more stylish!? haha! The price there were kinda like 'KLCC style' (100 and above) so, if you don't have 1k in hand...don't even think of shopping there. So, my plan on buying a trench coat were completely crushed upon seeing how bloody the price were. I only end up buying a shawl and cellphone casing (I still haven't bought a new cellphone...XD) we reached home around twelve a.m and everyone end up getting up late for the day after lecture...haha.

Mommy~

So, It's been quiet a busy day for me!

I've been unable to reply to my mother messages in IM. Though, I immediately 'nudge' her first thing I saw her message.

...and I found out that my mother haven't been doing well. I actually shed tears when I heard about her sickness. I was really sad considering that how my mother had to take care of the house without anyone to help her...without me by her side.

I hope my brothers would take a really good care of her and I hope you get well soon mom.

P/s: To all my friends...well not really all...but to Nadia and Izy, I'm sorry that I am unable to reply to your messages be it through IM or sms. Coz, I've been busy today discussing about the house well-being with my housemate and about our trip to Cairo tomorrow. I was really sad when I saw it! (the messages) well, I do reply to Izy's message and Nadia I left you a comment in ms and I left an online message in IM. Sorry guys
!

What cross in my mind...

As of now...

So, maybe I should tell a little bit details about Egypt, where I currently am studying.

and as most of my friends already knows, I took medicine here in Egypt and was hoping that I would passed every year though I will be feeling really fortunate if I can reach 'mumtaz' the highest level for grades in here. Insya'Allah...

So, as I first reached here, the first thing ever crossed my mind is..."This is Egypt? I mean...seriously, Egypt?" Hah! That's right, it's definitely very different from how I expect it would be...very.

First, you can definitely tell it's not Malaysia, haha. (the cleanliness is a bit...)

Anyway, apart from that Egypt is very hurm...how should I say it...? Sandy...? Well, I'm sure you can imagine it...you know desert and all. But I didn't mean there's no tar of road at all, sure there is! I mean it's filled with it (how do you supposed cars gonna drive through here then?) But, some of it kinda like get covered with sand and all. Ah! and did I mention they even got Proton in here? (hmm...so Malaysia do export cars then. XD)

Ah! and houses here mostly are apartments. Well, it's not like there's not even one house that's like bungalows or some sort of that at all, but it is only present in some area what we call 'filled with rich peoples area' or whatever it is. Also, one apartment belongs to a family and they kinda leave the upper part of the apartment looks like it haven't finished yet (you know, it looks like a construction site and all) but people are already living in it. It's because Arabic will only built house when there is demands for it. So, if there's a demand they'll just add up from where it was left off. (selekeh...I know)

The food...hmmm what should I say about it? Right! There's a really popular bread here called 'ish' or that's how it should sound I supposed... But, well it's not quite my cup of tea or should I say my plate of bread...haha. Why? Mainly cause how they...erm I don't know...but they kinda like just put it anywhere and sell it off (you know...like on the road, floor...and you should see the state of the floor) and then eat it. (Gross! I know) and I shall not advanced more than that... -_-'

So, I guess that would do for now! Heh...

Random-ing

Yay! I screw up during Anatomy quiz today~

Hahahahaha

hahaha

haha

ha

ha...

Anyway, the past is past right lets not cry over a sucking paper.

Someone gets on my nerve today... it's my Biochem's Lecturer... Seriously she talks so damn fast that I can't even catch what the heck she's saying and she kept on saying "this is important. You need to know. The..." that's it! what the heck did she running from that she had to talk damn fast? It's not like she wanna get out of the class any soon anyway concerning how she keep us in there being impatient even though the period had ended centuries ago! (Okay, that's exaggerating...)

I laugh a lot today

really a lot...

...and it was during lunch too...

really it's not good laughing in front of a sacred food...

I might get chocked!

Well, laughing drives sane away...lol

I miss my books...

...and I don't mean text book

or notebooks...

or any books related to schooling...

I mean novels...

It's been awhile since I last read a novel...

Just another day

It's morning of a new day!

and I'm still sick!

It's been like a week already and I still got a light fever and a REALLY bad flu...

I think my fever gonna start up again! (I haven't even recovered!)

and the flu is becoming worse!

I hope I won't have a major headache like yesterday... It's hurt like hell! and making me can't concentrate during lectures...

Anyway, gotta go now, Histology lecture starts at 10...and it's already 9 am here (though there aren't supposed to be any Histology lecture today...I wonder if he's gonna be away when there is)

My...

01 My name means bright mind (teehee)
02 My house in Egypt is an apartment
03 My room is the biggest one in the apartment (Yatta!)
04 My cousin tick me off today (but we reconcile haha)
05 My room is in a mess
06 My stomach is full (though I only eat rice porridge these days...sad I know)
07 My purse is almost empty!! (NOOOO!!)
08 My mind is full of nothing (HAHA! =_=')

What a DAY!

Hey, hey hey!

It's been awhile... (though I just post one two days ago...is it?)

So, today...though it's sunday but it's not weekends here so have to go to the university and it's starts at 8 o'clock in the morning!

...and as usual I can't quiet understand the subtopic for Physiology, Respiration...seriously! It's like the doctor is story tale...to himself I might add. And to top to that, I got a major headache since the first class! I dunno why! and it got better as the last lecture ends (hmm...wonder why)

Apparently, my cousin is in a really bad mood today! Which I dunno what triggers it since I saw her chatting happily just a minute ago! She actually dared to take her stress out on me! (talk about mood swings!) and being a short tempered self I am, I tell her straight to herself just what the heck is wrong with her! Though she end up apologizing to me which I accept.

Well, we do live in the same house...

and so, after arriving here for almost a month now, I think I have become accustomed to this country (though I wonder if I can EVER be accustomed to how 'clean' this country is) I also manage to learn some Egyptian words which I use often for shopping! Here in Egypt, they didn't use the Al-Quran Arabic, instead they use a language known as Amir Arabic or better known as 'bahasa Arab pasar'

Though I really am not satisfied with the rules our association had stated that the girls are forbidden to wear pants when going out whether to the university or shopping or going outdoors for whatever purpose. (though I once do wear a pants when going out shopping XD)

The best part is! Here in Egypt they didn't call the students as students but Doctors instead! Haha. But, I'm not sure whether it's only applied to the medical student since I read it in a book that says the term Doctor is for educated man or woman. The lecturers of course were called Doctors also.

It's Winter!

Currently it's winter in Egypt

However, no snow! Which is sucks though is actually quite a good thing considering the fact that I can't stand the cold anymore when it haven't even reached the peak of the season. During the peak of the season the temperature is said to be around 9 degree celcius!

Anyway, study been quite well and I manage to answer the quizes well enough. Though certain doctors(lecturers) been stressing me out lately.

Missing home as of now! But I have friends here (though not the same as my friends back in Malaysia!) who are supporting each other! Gambarimassu!
Yay again! I got a hold of the internet!

So here r the pictures
