Freezing cold
Damn the stupid water…. so freaking freaking cold…there is no longer any hot water running through the pipes in my bathroom…in fact the whole hostel
Due to my own laziness of boiling water to bath, I showered with the freezing cold water for 2 days already… When I say freezing cold water, I mean FREEZING COLD WATER…. You know the kind when it is so cold that it hurts…the kind that even if you let it run in the bath tub and the only part of the body it is touching is your feet and you can feel the pain rise up to your head…the only way you can understand this is if you fill your bath tub with cold water and then add like a lot of ice cubes then soak your body in…yeah that is what it feels like..
and I wash my hair with that water and every few minutes I have to like shut the water to let my body cool down…sometimes really really cannot tolerate…really so cold until my tears already flow down…damn and they say this is like up till June 22nd…I am freaking dead…
Will I get hypothermia if I continue doing this? Maybe I should start boiling water…but then wouldn’t it be quicker to just run in and get frozen for that few minutes rather than boiling water 3-4 times for a 10 mins shower…
my roomies think I am crazy to bath like that…. I know…I am lazy hahaha~
Sigh…Why must they be so mean to us??

giant Ice cubes in my bath room….if you want to try polar dipping…just come shower in my bathroom…its really good enough already:D

Ramblings… :)
Yeah…..I wanted to post yesterday on how I was about to face my death today…i typed and retype..type about blue roses…type about the feelings in me but I simply could not describe the numbness I felt …
Yeah It happened~my death sentence but it came as I ask for it i mean like no point waiting to die on Friday when I am prepared to die today…hehe and I prayed so hard…I was so worried I prayed again and again because like I know i was going to die but I was praying that I would not die tht terrbly and that horribly and I would not cry
and guess what………….
I did not…instead of the expected M-16 machine gun…I probably had one of those soundless laser gun which shot me once and for all and the pain on one spot only…
but I am not going to let it bother me….I am going to nap(honestly freaking tired…)and wake up with a new hype to work harder for my test on weds and thurs and finals next week..but definately study up to avoid a SOO ANN’S DEATH PART II on friday..hehe
My classmates were so afraid that I would start bursting out in tears because even before class I was shaking…Literally shaking..but I didn’t (Im a strong strong strong girl…haha~) instead they are like WOW..Ann you are good…haha
but yes
answered prayer
Thank you for not letting me die so horribly today …I am going to work harder…
GAMBATTE!!!… AJA AJA HWAITING

Cause you don’t see me…
This is the place where I sit
This is the part where I love you too much
This is as hard as it gets
Cause I’m getting tired of pretending I’m tough
I’m here if you want me
I’m yours, you can hold me
I’m empty and achin’
And tumblin’ and breakin’
Cause you don’t see me
And you don’t need me
And you don’t love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could
I dream a world where you understand
That I dream a million sleepless nights
Well I dream a fire when you’re touching my hand
But it twists into smoke when I turn on the lights
I’m speechless and faded
It’s too complicated
Is this how the book ends,
Nothing but good friends?
Cause you don’t see me
And you don’t need me
And you don’t love me
The way I wish you would
The way I wish you would
This is the place in my heart
This is the place where I’m falling apart
Isn’t this just where we met
And is this the last chance that I’ll ever get
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see-through
And not enough to you
Cause you don’t see me
And you don’t need me
And you don’t love me
The way I wish you would
Cause you don’t see me
And you don’t need me
And you don’t love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could

UEFA: The game
Some people I know attended the live UEFA match itself and I managed to get a hold on those amazing pictures courtesy of a wonderful photographer and her simply amazing camera...thank you DIANA
so..scoot over to…
by the way….Ann is currently disappearing from planet earth until exams are over…
I have 2 ZACHUT EXAM on Monday and 1 ZACHUT exam on Tuesday…
now what the hell is a ZACHUT EXAM?
it is a test you write after you complete all the other weekly test..
and this test is like a passport to do your final exams( weird Russian system)
and then
my finals is the following week…which like what the hell right..bought my ticket so late to go home …
ai…just hang out in Moscow till then :p get to help out with graduation too.
so oh well….DON’T MISS MY PRESENCE EH:d

UEFA
What happened in Moscow the past few days and everyone knows about it?
UEFA…MAN UTD vs Chelsea right here in Moscow…and YAY!!! MAN UTD won…am I a soccer fan?? not really but I will not die if you put me in front of the tv watching the game…
I obviously did not go to the game but I went to the exhibition despite the fact that I have test the next day and the day after that and the day after that…:p haha
As soon as we stepped out of the Metro burning under the scorching heat and drizzles of rain started touching our noses, we can clearly see every part of the historical ..very cultural red square came down with the soccer fever…
The amount of people was crazy and the queue to enter the trophy room and for the MAN UTD veteran players’ autographs were tremendously long. I heard it takes 4 hours just to enter the trophy room for a 5 second snapshot picture with the trophy protected under a glass box…so obviously the very patient me did not wait but immediately grabbed my friend’s camera and snapped an outsside the room picture.
Even the stand to buy souvenirs was a tough attempt to get and yes I bought something:D
There was a mastercard booth where you can take “Priceless” photo….meaning they superimpossed the trophy into your hand as you stand there grinning with an imaginary trophy and they placed that photo on what seemed to be a credit card which you cannot cannot cannot use…
I realised though that speaking russian in this place will take you nowhere…Speak English and act like a tourist and then you find people extremely friendly and you get free stuff too…Like I was given a museum guide for ROME>>>Im going to ROME someday
It was cool…really though not a soccer fan but you see the enthusiastic fans around you and believe it or not…In Moscow, in this overly crowded exhibition you can see more malaysians than you can keep count of…Seems like home isn’t that far off..
Photos…haha..now that is the quesiton..

Birthday Party…
It was Wei Soon’s turn to turn 21 years old:) however it was weeks ago and only now I can finally upload the photos into my blog…no idea why…hehe …ANYWAY..hopefully this is a memorable birthday for him…it is THE 21ST…A group of us waited at the corridor at 3rd floor with 2 CAKES
…WHY 2 cakes…no idea..haha anyway
We then paraded to his room with Eric strumming the guitar and us singing to the very familiar HAPPY BIRTHDAY tune…and you should see that surprise look on his face…and his roommate scrambling around under his comforter awaken by our squeaks..Wei Soon was busy studying for his exam the next day therefore a little on the blur edge

Birthday guy and the girls

the Dudes and the birthday dude

See the 2 birthday cakes…the chocolate one is nice…haha
Kim Swee~Ann~Wei Soon~Peter~Yin shen
* sorry Ann looks crappy because it was close to 1 am extremely tired and deck out in PJs*

Supposed to be a shot withe very one wearing glasses and the birthday dude
~Billy~Eric~Yin Shen~Kim Swee~Isaac~Ann~Peter(behind me)~Wei Soon~Suet Yin
notice the pink shirt Wei soon is wearing…its a present from our bible study group..we are jazzing up his dull wardrobe:p

Toss to you…may you grow older faster…haha
it was actually great…like really really nice that this little surprise was given because we are like far away from home and birthdays are times you want to spend with your family and close friends.Being here in Moscow and with our family far across the ocean, we are each other’s family.
During difficult times we have each other to rely on and when we want to cry we have so many shoulders coming forward to let us lean on.
In times of sadness,many would accept the invitation to eat ice cream and gobbled up those tears as we go. In times of happiness, we would all jump up and down together celebrating good news together.
We can spend the whole night talking away, we can share our beds together, we can do anything because we have each other’s support.
When sick, so many would come to see you,care about you,cook for you and even boiling herbal teas which gives you the exact warmth of motherly and family comfort.
We are stuck together for the many years to come, even though most of them are my seniors and I am only in Pre-med and they will all leave Moscow before me but i will simply treasure those times we share now cause times like this are priceless and it is not everyday you will walk pass or meet people as sincere. It is not everyday you will meet friends who will be there for you regardless of anything.It is not everyday you meet friends like this.
I cannot do anything in return for all their care and how nice they are to me but just trade my friendship with them. My friendship with a sincere heart:D
so yeah…alil too late to say it again but
Hopefully it was a memorable and great 21st birthday…and May whatever wish you made that night come true
anyway….I DOUBT WEI SOON READS MY BLOG!!!
:p

Random thoughts…
White pollen floated by like little spring snowflakes. My hair brushed across my face as the breeze slowly gently carressed my soft red cheeks. My tears welled up lining the corner of my eyes. I straighten my leg acrosss the bench as I sat there underneath the rays of the 6pm sun.
I wandered long and far on the street, no where to go and with no one in my mind. Where do you go during times like this? Whom should I turn to during times like this?In my mind, I seeked a quiet place where i’ll be anonymous beneath the leafy green roof, warm kisses from the summer sun and soft spring breeze to tame the rapidness of my beating heart.I can still taste the saltiness of my tears at the tips of my tongue.
I sat up watching this little beauties tip-tapping across the wooden ground. Their everlasting laughter filled my heart with sweetness and those innocent eyes….those innocent eyes i wonder at what age whould they start to lose them. Can the innocence not remained? or are they doomed to submit to the cruelty of the society?
I have so many words to say,so many things in my mind but to write them all down seems almost impossible but I scribbled it all down letting the words slowly seeped out from the blue ink pen smeared in tears. I let it out randomly not worrying about continuation from the sentence before because the words randomly place on the piece of paper is just like how mess-up my mind is right now.
I looked over my left shoulder and I long to be close to the waters. Maybe, just maybe the calmness of the lake will influence my emotions to remain calm. Maybe the water will dissolve thie tears lingering down and bring out the sun in me once again. I popped a piece of chocolate into my mouth. The hazelnut cream kisses my lips but it seems plainly tasteless. All I feel is bitterness choking me and I can hardly breathe. My tears continue to seep out of the corner of my eyes even drizzling down the tip of my nose, as i continue scribbling across the page. The sun reflects off my shades but I still feel the chill leftover by the harsh winter. Goosebumps are forming on my leg and little white flowers tickle me as if telling me to smile once more.
I don’t want to be sad or to ever cry. I don’t want to be hurt or dissapointed. Can those emotions remained hidden or buried away? Can I not be protected or shield from any of them? Can people around me stop going through difficulties because of me? Can I not stop troubling people around me? I want to share this feelings I am going through, I want to talk it all out but it is so difficult. For years, I fight my own wars. I go through so many things alone and for me to speak out now seems so difficult. How do you share when all this years you walk through the wilderness alone? How can you ask for help when you climb the volcano alone for all this years?
I guess I am still in flesh… i guess I am only human and there are all essential to be part of a mortal’s heart. I have to just simply learn to grow with it, simply learn to adapt to them and just walk the feelings all off during times in which I cannot withstand…

IF IN LOVE LIKE THEM…
Very sweet korean drama staring the very beautiful, highest paid actress/singer LEE HYO RI and LEE DONG GUN
Its about this two very sick people falling in love…and its just cute:-) through this drama, I learn how fame and riches cannot match up with the sincerity of one’s heart. You can be happy with just living in a quiet village with nothing other than simplicity when you are with people who care about you,who are like your family and the one who loves you more than anything in the world. and because he loves her, he tried his best and he fight through it all…he did his very best to fulfill her one and only dream….I guess life can be really simple if you have the courage to pursue what truly matters instead of the materialistic things we chase in our daily life…
Not too bad…really not too bad….if you have time…yeah watch it:)
the song is entitled SCOLDED by LEE HYO RI…with english sub…the ending of the drama…
