A day to summarize what the heck happened to me during 2009.

From January onwards until June, practically it was all about getting out of med school lah. Winter holiday also didn’t go travel. Stayed at home back in Volgograd, Russia.

I don’t really like winter, but nobody could resist those white snow. Especially when you have smaller size housemates where you can throw them around in to the snow, or just hit their face with some. Other than that I do like it when it snows and at the same time there is sun shine. It feels like in fairy tale (I’m not a girl). It is refreshing I would say.

Waking up for school wasn’t easy. But 7 years of staying in Russia made it pretty possible. Especially when the house do not have proper heating system mid winter, I would practically wear 1 t-shirts and a sweater to bed, and practically did not move my head even for an inch because the other part of the pillow under my head is so cold. We find coffee in the morning super refreshing. And even more refreshing if there is breakfast waiting and it doesn’t need to be prepared by myself *hint hint*.

The whole 7 years boils down to this moment.

The day of me landing in Moscow Sheremetevo is still damn fresh in my memory. The stupid Aeroflot plane would land with lotsa sound on the runway, and in my mind, all I think was ‘Shit, I’m all alone now’. Little that I know that dark fella with 2 piercings on his ears would become my buddy (Sarchit) who is sitting just right in the front row. And that I would be seeing his dark face for 7 freaking years.

Anyway, graduating is good, as it marks the start of an even bigger nightmare. LOL.

But no matter what, 7 years abroad (since I was 17), I think it is time to go back to my homeland. It is my tanah tumpahnya darahku anyway.

So, gone are the days I chill out with my housemates and my house’s parasite (which is most welcomed from time to time when she doesn’t come in emo). We would spend hours in front of the table stuffing in something we called steamboat, which would last from 6pm till midnight or even worse, god knows until when.

Gone are the days I wear casually, and walk like ah pek up and down of that Russian city. And gone are the days I still manage to be somebody interesting try to be as interesting as possible. Gone are the days I stupidly put my feet into that Volga river.

And I kenot be that bad ass now because I got MOs to scold me. I got seniors who will kena me kau kau. I got Boss who would fire me at sights with lots and lots of medical questions. And I’m just right at the bottom of this food chain, and the best part is, I’m not even the food, just some discarded not needed HO. Wakaka.

Gone are the days I play guitar, play harmonica, play card tricks, play flying cards, recording stupid mtv and video. The only thing I’m still doing now is taking pictures. And other than that I’m a pathetic workaholic who works from 6am till 7pm and still go oncalls from time to time.

Every HOs life is like this la, I got no complain. That’s why I like to show off when I can finish my thing early and cabut home early early.

So after July, it was 3 months of intense holidaying which now I think back, no big deal also la. Just traveling around Malaysia. And on 16th of September I started my HO life in Melaka GH. And now still stuck here, hoping that my first posting will be over soon enuf without much problem.

What I got to say about this past year?

Hmm. Lotsa ups and downs. U-turns and red lights. Minimal green lights. LOL. Lotsa rocks and winding roads and it wasn’t all that easy after all.

And I found myself getting more and more miserable, and more and more irritable.

Because of my job? I don’t know. I am memang not an optimistic.

Anyway, hope that next year would be better. And hopefully life doesn’t ends at 2012. And hopefully more interesting things could happen and I would wanna jump from macau tower if possible this coming year.

Any wish for 2010?

Hmm.. Superbike? Okay laaaa… Motor license first.
