Oppa Azzam style.

Yesterday was my time to be the pengapit (best man) for my friend Azzam again. This time at his house in Proton City, Tanjung Malim. Last week was his wife's at Bangi Golf Resort. Azzam is one of my good friends in Moscow, plus he's been my roomate for 3 years I think. He sleeps a lot, plays futsal, shops at Topman, travels, you know, what any scholarship student would do, enjoying the fruits of life. Somewhat of a skema dude, he almost never skips class and always does his exams on time. A nice guy, but an absolute beast when he plays futsal haha...As a defender, always tackles hard, makan daging, and relish any physical challenge. But sometimes I nutmeg him from time to time because he has such long legs haha..

Anyway, I have no business whatsoever in this wedding business, and all I ever did was only coming to eat and chat and go back home. It was really lonely for me during his wife's occasion because I think I was his only friend who came, well to be fair it was Iylia's place. Anyway for his occasion, I drove the dudes with my trusty old Toyota Corolla, fetching Botak from Serdang, Dol from Bangsar and Shazli from Ampang. I was afraid of arriving there late so I pushed my dear old Tommy around 120 to 130kmh. Bergegar-gegar kereta aku hahahah plus it wasnt used to have full capacity of passengers. Arrived there safely around 11.30am with about 50minutes to 1 hour journey from Ampang, I guess? Screw the speed trapz. I'm not getting late for my best friend's wedding.

Aishah was the pengapit again this time. Looks like the same dress from last week..no? Haha anyway she's a nice person. It was so bloody hot and me and Aishah have to hold umbrellas over the pengantin's head. Azzam dah la tinggi gila weii. I really hope they dont show my sweaty armpits in the photos haha. Then it was the bersanding time. Big deal. Just have to kipas Azzam with this fancy little fan. Then his auntie gave me a tissue paper. I was like what the heck what am I to do about this. Oh kena lap peluh Azzam rupanya. So I did la a bit the I gave him the tissue suruh dia lap sendiri lol I aint touching a bro's face.

Interesting bit before the Azzam and Iylia was allowed to pass through. There was a water giving ceremony which they presented a glass of water to Azzam's grandma. I think its maybe a chinese custom. If I'm not mistaken she's a chinese muslim. A bit weird, but its alright.

Drove back home with the boys. They all slept in my car while I was driving..

Congratulations to your wedding Azzam and Iylia!

..An Angry Man..

The snow just would not stop coming down. Then again, this is Moscow. After the rewiring of my room a couple of weeks ago, the room seems more spacious, all the junks have been thrown away. We sort of rearranged the furniture a bit, so it became bearable. Frankly, I like it. We still have our personal space though, and now we have a proper pantry thingy space, where we can put out periuk, kuali, belanga and all sorts. So far so good. 

The hostel still sucks though. We paid a fortune, then they make such a fuss about repairing our lifts, pipes and all. They think we live here for free? The stereotype must be true. Russians are lazy. Very lazy. There. I said it. They work from 11 to 5pm. Like what the heck. They take endless breaks in between that. Drinking tea, eating biscuits, smoking and whatnot. And then they act high and mighty as if they are the greatest civilization in the world. Hello. Look at the europeans, the japanese, the germans. I never heard stories of them being rude to people from other countries. Even getting visas to enter Russia is a hassle. You think we really wanna stay here forever. I cant believe I lived here for 7 years.

My awesome jamban.

..Elevator..

Most people think winter is awesome. Most people are not me. The first few days would be awesome. Then it would be downright tiring and annoying. With all these snow getting into your shoes, in your nose, at the back of your neck, you know the drill. Every morning we all have to wait for the bus in front of the hostel in darkness, although its only about 8am. Its not helping when we have to wait for around 15 minutes or so for the bus to come, and then it would be like a tin can of sardines trying to fit into 1 bus. 

You know, I'm not claustrophobic. I just dont like being with too many people in a small place. It gets on my nerves. Plus I sweat a lot when its too cramped, and I hate sweating when I put on my good clothes for class. Lucky for me, I only get stuck once in the hostel lift, which wasnt much of a big deal, since I was stuck for maybe around 10 minutes and I was with 2 other people. Talking about lifts, russian lifts are so goddamn scary. Even my parents came here 2 years ago, they thought the lift went rosak when there was a loud clanking noise,while actually it was just normal stuffs here. And then at the hospitals where we go to class, there's even a lift attendant, who actually lives in the lift? I mean, I can see a table there, a chair, perhaps maybe a water kettle? Most of them working are makcik or nenek and I tell you, they can have the ultimate mood swing ever, more than an average hormone-driven teenage girl who wants to rebel all the time. Everything you do is wrong. 

 lol come here you.

 Which button is which?

 Only 2 floors.

 I used this kinda lift once. It was not a pleasant experience.

 An average day using a lift.

1. Dont talk loudly.

2. What are you speaking? Speak Russki!

3. Dont get in with too many people.

4. Stop laughing so much.

5. Dont you where the stairs is? You pricks are still young. (while our class is actually 7 floors away...)

And what really gets on my nerves is, they are wearing white labcoats. Seriously?
