Biology Class

Haha.. on 24^th December, me, Valynne n Kent made it very early for our early 9.30am Biology class for the first time.. u know, it takes us more at least 1 hour 30 minutes to reach the place for our classes n we always only manage to reach on time for class.. so this time, we were early.. n we all started going hyper n started playing around with the camera.. so happen, our teacher was going to be late n that gave us even more time.. whee hee.. check us out in our labcoats.. hehe.. nothing better to do..

Здравствуйте! Как дела? Сейчас осень. Осенью в Москве очень красивая.

Сейчас я учусь в институте русского языка имени А.С. Пушкина на подготовительном факультете. Я учу русский язык. Я думаю, что русский язык очень трудный. Теперь я знаю чуть-чуть русский язык.

Сейчас я живу в общежитии. Мне нравится моя комната. Потому что моя комната удобная и не очень холодная. Мои хорошие друзья Валини и Джоанна. Они соседки. Валини и Джоанна дружные. Мы вместе учимся. Мы уже хорошо знаем и понимаем друг друга.

Pushkin International Concert & Exhibition, 16th November 2007

Wednesday, November 21, 2007

For your information, I am currently studying Russian Language at Pushkin Institute of Russian Language.. here, there are plenty of other international students, for example, Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, etc, n of course we Malaysians.. so, there was a concert and exhibition held basically to display each other’s country’s culture.. the exhibition started first followed by the concert.. started at 3pm n ended at almost 6pm.. we Malaysian pre-medical students prepared stuff for both the exhibition n concert.. for the exhibition we had a video presentation n a slide show of pictures.. the video presentation was actually the tourism Malaysia video.. haha.. smart le.. then the slide show, Valynne, me n Joanna did it with pictures from Tee, Terry, Joanna, me n Valynne.. we had really limited pictures coz we never expected to do such things but it turned out ok.. hehe.. we also had Malaysian food on display n also to try, well, other countries also did the same.. we had some cucur with sauce prepared by Liyana.. and also a poster was made.. so, here’s our exhibition table..

the laptops..

the cucur made by Liyana.. nice :)

the sauce.. super nice..
one of the ingredients is Kimball chilli sauce from Malaysia

the poster.. hand drawn n coloured..

Here are photos of the exhibition, other countries..

KOREA

CHINA

The China people were really very well equipped.. they had lotsa stuff on display.. very obvious they had planned it was before n brought them all the way from their homeland.. even their dance, the dances had similar costumes..

RUSSIA

VIETNAM

ROMANIA

..and many more..

Well, you can see the difference between what we prepared n what the other countries prepared.. they were so well equipped.. I guess they knew before hand n brought it before hand from their countries.. we knew nothing n therefore came unprepared.. haha.. but, we still manage.. haha..

Now we come to the concert..
