Went to Manesh again to shop for cheap stuff, heard from Johnny that the stuff there quite cheap, but actually, only a few of them are cheap, other still very expensive….haahha….




This is the newly open supermarket in Manesh…

2nd of March, 2008, Sunday
There was no meeting today, so went to Hypermarket to shop for foods for my cooking group, didn’t shop much in Manesh yesterday cause the stuff there are still more expensive than hyper…..


My lunch after shopping, sauce with bread….


Bought a new tooth paste….cost me 56.40 roubles…

3rd of March 2008, Monday
Today went to dermato class again….it was quite cold today again….because of the cold wind….


Exit from this hostel door….Go down the stairs…


Walk on the small path there….turn right…


Walk along the small foot path ….


Walk straight ahead..along the foot path…


Cross the road to the other side…..we got to pass by the market first…


The market…


After the market, we came to another road….instead of taking bus, we walk…


Then after that, we enter this park…..to get to another end of this park…


Here we are, another end of the park, another road….walk along here…walk straight…


Came to the traffic light here…first cross the road straight ahead…then after that, cross another road to the right side….


Walk straight along the foot path…


See the greenish thing there…that’s the gate to the hospital…


The gate…enter it..


Here’s the dermato hospital..

After the dermato class, we had another lecture at around 2pm…this time lecture will not be in university but in the hall in hospital….near the dermato hospital…so we use the same way to get to the hospital..just a bit different from it…


Before the lecture, Khian lu helped me to tie up my hair like this! It feel more comfortable tying like that…Hahaha…cause now my hair too long already….if I tie a pony tail, it seems like all the weight focus on one point….and my head will feel heavier and some time, a bit painful….


The same traffic light….but this time…cross the road to right straight a way….and walk straight…


Walk straight…


Cross the road to the left side…..and enter the gate in front there…


Enter it…


Here it is…the entrance to the hospital….didnt get to take the photo inside the hospital..hahaha..






The cake I steamed tonight…want to try it out first before I steamed the real cake for lynn wei’s birthday on this Friday, 7th of March…haha..a bit ‘cacat’ ..ahhaha….wanted to borrow a love shaped tray from others, but didn’t get to borrow it, so I try to cut it in love shape….hmm…I think on the real cake, I have to make topping to cover the ugly edges of the cake…

Very easy cake, just put in 2 cubes of butter, 2 scoops of sugar, 5 eggs, and add flour until the texture is suitable and then put it into the pot to steam….hahaha…

The taste quite nice though….hohoho…

Tropical dermatology cycle

28th Feb 2008 Thursday
Today was the first day of tropical dermato…..I mentioned before that we had to walk a 15 minutes walk to reach the hospital…..here’s some of the pictures….


Here, we passed by a park here….it was so muddy cause all the snow was melting, and result of that, water mixed with sand.


We could see the water covering the ground……














Water all over the place~ hahaha….

Oops..forgot to take the photo of the hospital….will take it soon…

In the evening, I went to gym! With Teo…..hohoho..want to keep fit! Had went it once last time and it feels good when you sweat…so I decided to go around 3 times a week ….ohohoho…..the gym is just in the university compound….opposite our hostel…


Go in through the gate opposite the road there…




Walk straight …to the building in front…which is the gym…


That door there is the entrance..


Enter it, there’s a few doors in front, so enter and enter….




Passed through a group of Russian doing aerobic dance…


We had to change our jacket here….and our short too..and also during winter, we got to change our shoes too before we can use the gym…

The gym is divided into 4 parts…the first part is the place where Russian doing aerobic dance…last few pictures…..

The second part is this,


Teo doing stretching…




Me on the running machine..what is the exact term for it ah?? Argh..forgot…

Here is the third part…




Where you can play hoop, some aerobic steps, and ‘lompat tali’ (rope jumping? Hahaha)


This is the last part, for heavier exercise……

Went to gym for around 1 hour, then went back to hostel, got ready for cell group…
That’s for all for today….

29th Feb, Friday
This morning was a bit cold, that’s why all the previously lake of water had frozen. .not totally freezed, only the superficial ..haha…










Some of the pictures…..there were small amount of snows on the ground too..
After the class, we went to the so called Chemistry building, cause last time we used to have our chemistry class in that building…forgot to take the picture of the building…hahaha..but took some of the pictures inside the cafeteria….here it is…


It is situated underground there, thus we had to take the stairs down to the cafeteria….but when we reached there, the door wasn’t opened yet, so we waited for a while, after a few minutes, more and more Russian came and join us there…at around 12pm, the door opened, everyone went into and got a sit and queue up for the foods~


See the queue? Quite long queue, around 12pm to 12.30pm is the most busiest time, cause it is the lunch time…so we got to come here early, if not we had to queue up a long queue..haha..


Take our tray, spoon and fork…..First section, beverages….the drinks are very nice…it is some kind of fruit drinks….water boiled with the dry fruits….going to try to make it next time…cheap oso..around 2 roubles per glass..


See the weighing machine there? they weigh every foods….cause the prices are set according to the weigh…


Salads section…after they weigh it, they will put it here for us to take…


This section consists of breads, soups, fried rice (sometime replace by others grains food according to the daily menu), mashed potato, chicken, nuggets and etc.






They will scoop it for you and place it at the side there for you to take…


This was what I took for lunch…all of it cost me 21.40 roubles..cheap? quite cheap ho..ahahaha..that’s why this is my groupmates’ favourite cafeteria….big amount of foods with cheap price..ahhaha..


After you finish..you got to put back the tray and your empty bowl at the counter there…..and then you can leave the cafeteria…haha….

Okay..that’s it for today..sorry for the delayed post~ have a nice day~
