You can never believe Yahoo! weather for its predicament on Volgo's weather..

Having said that, it is possible to enjoy BBQ in the middle of Volgograd rare heavy rain. Plus the fact that few minutes before we did play "Water Balloon war", so when we walk in the middle of the city with wet clothes, we dont look like "a bunch of wet idiots on hot summer day".

Thanks to juniors that organize this. You guys deserve a place in Hell Kitchen for that scrumptuous food. Thanks for Afham who in spite of having to rush back, did manage to make a space. And thanks for the memorable Futsal game

Unlike the Atkin's , or the Dr. Shepherd's , or the endless HealthFood diet listed by Reader's Digest, my new, improved, non-pocket-ripping diet program had proved its effectiveness. Less than 4 months, I had lose a "significant" amount of number on my weight scale...note however, I did mention numbers, not anything physically visible with naked eyes..

So, to start this program u actually dont need to pay a fee that reach almost USD 200 per month, what you will need are :

1. A visa to enter Russia
2. Free time spanning mid-Nov till February
3. A one-way ticket to Russia (dont buy 2 -way, so less chance you can run away)
4. A room with bad microclimate condition
5. An unthinkable little amount of money so that u need to rethink again n again whether to call that cab to bring you out from here and to buy food
6. Lazyness even to get out from your bed

oh, and to get an extra kick from it , add please :
7. no electric heater
8. dysfunctional communal heater
9. unsealed windows
10. empty food cupboard.

So, when you add all this up, what you will get is :
" You will stuck in a cold room during windy Russian winter with no heater and the air seeping through the windows. Then your stomach started to grumble and you open up your cupboard and find you left with nothing except a bottle of soy sauce and dried chillis. And then you think its time for you to get out and buy some foods at the NEAREST supermarket, but you ended up opening your wallet and find that your scholarship is achingly small that the only way you can afford to go shopping is by walking all the way through the snow blizzard with -16 degree outside. This is the time when you really think you need to go back home to Malaysia, but , oh dear God, you dont have the return ticket !!! and you only have entry visa but not leaving visa (Russia is so cynical they thought people will need a visa to get out from their hell motherland).."

after 10 - 12 repeated scenarios mentioned above, u can embrace yourself and step onto the weight scale..

yes, i can see you smiling, thank you :)
