Shame on you!
As much as i want to shout, so hard that my lungs actually burst out
As much as i want to vent my anger on something, i can’t.
How unconsidered one can be? How rude can one be?? and how useless can one be?
Where do you actually learn to be a jackass. from school, from home, or did you buy the book “jackass in the making for Dummies”.
Im standing here, clapping my hands- standing ovation.. giving you a five star rating for your excellent performance.. as you succeeded in becoming the biggest jackass of the year.
You call yourself a friend, you think so highly of yourself- not knowing how many flaws you have. If you were to graduate, the first ever degree you would receive probably, most definitely be Bachelor of Narcissism. Wait, probably you’ll receive the tittle Master Of Narcissism, for no other could have beaten you in that category!
Others might just sit aside, and take it all in, so am I. But today you hit the boiling point.
Somethings can never change, some people will remain the same. My perception will never change, not till you prove other wise.
For heaven’s sake, it’s Christmas week! I don’t want to go through the days being annoyed by your constant level of stupidity, you talk he talk but can you walk the walk, you incompetent ass!
Seriously!!!
CRAZY WINTER!!!!
Kursk- today’s weather report -17. Yesterday -25, and the previous day it was -28. Yes, it’s a rough life. I Remember what it was like back home in Malaysia, 30 degrees celsius? 28, 29 if you are lucky.
Crazy CRAZY weather, with subzero temperature and strong winds blowing outside, one must be pretty much insane and brave to step foot outside.
Temperature drop drastically, from -7 to -28 celsius in just 2 days. Walking on the streets was hard, constantly gasping for air, and may i remind you, walking on snow takes up lot of energy. It’s not easy, as each step you take will sink deep into the snow bed. Shoes, socks and your jeans will then get wet.
What happens when you stand outside in that crazy cold weather:
1) You shiver. Constantly shaking as if you were having seizures or fits. Yes, it does help to generate heat, but at this subzero temperature, you actually have to shake pretty hard to generate sufficient heat! So people, come on, shake yourself, or shake your friend.. what ever you do to keep your self warm. And i quote my friend, ” we group huddle and start making synchronized shivers”..lols
2) SMOKE and SMOKE and SMOKE! Aside from white snow, all you can see laying on the road would be cigarette butts.
3) Your mucous layer of your nostrils actually freeze, seconds after you step foot outside.
4) Walk on the streets more than 15 minutes, and you can see ice forming on your eyelashes. YES it actually happened- to me and other students here.
5) And when your eyes tear, those tears actually turn into ice.
6) Walking out into the cold, from warmth of your house/ bus/ or car, will cause your spectacle lens to fog up. Stay any longer outside, and the fog eventually turns into ice. SERIOUSLY!
7) Toes go numb and your fingers feel as if some dog was chewing on it..chewing with force ok. Hurts like hell, even when you are wearing gloves.
8) It’s hard to talk when it’s that cold, you end up mumbling all the time. You’ll sound as if you’re talking under water.. argGH..
Normal- ” shit, where’s the bus?” Extreme cold weather- ” ShiiIiiiaTTt, whearr’s de busss?
9) You end up cursing even more! “Fuck it’s cold”, Fuck i can’t feel my legs, “Fuck this weather”, Fuck i cant breathe”, Fuck FUCK …
10) You drink even more, prolly go to class even when you are tipsy.
11) We start throwing snowballs at each other??Try running away from your friends when you are wrapped up like a big fat Michelin dude.
12) The sight of untouched snow on the ground is just so tempting, it kinda evokes the destructive nature in us. We tend to walk over them, making stupid footsteps and snow angels! Tall, short, fat, thin snow angels- depending on who made them.. lols
13) What do we do when we see frozen patches of ice? We run and slide, with our hands held together praying at the same time that we don’t slip and break our neck or land on our ass.
14) Ears,nose and cheeks turn red. You start laughing at your friend, only to realize you too have red ears,nose and cheeks.
14) Don’t ever leave your hostel right after your bath.. especially when your hair is still damp or wet. Once i went out, and my whole head froze. It took ONLY approx 3 minute, and i was already running back to my hostel.
This is it! -28.. can you take it?
Christmas countdown #7
Christmas another fortnight away..
Presents & gifts start filling the empty spaces under our christmas tree.
I can’t wait to open ‘em. It’s as if i’m reliving my childhood memories- big boxes wrapped with colourful christmas wrappers, candy canes, cookies and hot choco.
This is it, the best time of the year!
Christmas is so near, i can smell it!
It’s the time of the year again where shiny paper is being shredded. Ribbons are unfurled, room lighted red, yellow, blue and green by merry winking bulbs.
A mixed feeling, both happy and sad. Here i am, 8000 miles, an ocean and a continent away from home and family. I remember those days, when i woke up to the smiling faces of both my parents, hugging me and wishing me a happy merry christmas.
Weeks before Christmas, we would all gather to set up the Christmas tree, and on weekends we would occasionally head down to he mall to do some Christmas shopping.
The happiest day amongst all would be Boxing day.. That’s when i get to open all my presents!! woot.
How’d i wish i could spend this Christmas with my family and close friends back home. Imagine the amount of fun i could have… then again..if ONLY i could..
But I am getting ahead of myself. The place i am living in- Kursk, is a place of well-worn cliché, this is Kursk the drowsy, the southern, the Orthodox. It is the Kursk of Kursk Avangrad, the mediocre and average soccer club; of Vodka and pretty Russian girls; of industries whose working ranks are drawn from all ages, both from highly educated to non- educated.
The city is growing as i speak, transforming a series of interconnected 19th-century buildings into a glossy shopping complex. Yet, you hardly could find any high exclusive brands such as Gucci and Valentino and Prada. Believe it or not, they don’t even have McDonald here. What you can find abundant are traditional merchants looming along the streets of Kursk.\
What i could be really thankful for is the great friends i have here in. The friends who battle the same war with you, the ones whom would walk in the dark and thru the storm with you, the ones who REALLY care. Despite having some treacherous friends around at times, life couldn’t be better.
Let us all enjoy this festive season, no matter where we are, no matter who we are with.. a world filled with love, joy and laughter ain’t such a bad place after all.
Merry christmas everyone!!
One of my new Christmas ornaments!!
