A week full of controvesy

Sound weird kan? but really that the truth of what I'm going through in this whole week..
 
Kisah bermula dengan....
 
Hari pertama(Monday 13 Mei): kami ada briefing dengan senior kami yang dah pun study dekat russia, diorang cuti summer so on the way back to the Malaysia, they come to intec to talk to us..every single bit of what happens in Russia. Erm cannot say much but really have a lot of information from them. Waktu tu baru tahu yang keadaan asrama diorang 'buruk' yer macam mana, baru tahu kalau masuk moscow medical academy kena ulang alik naik metro lebih kurg 1 jam lebih ke kuliah, then baru tahu yang diorg kena masak sendiri dekat common kitchen, also baru tahu yang macam mana diorg kadang2 tak sembahyang jumaat sebab ada kelas, jamak sebab tak sempat, tak ada bilik. Also baru tahu yang polis russia memang tak boleh dipercayai that everytime we show our passport jgn kasi dekat polis tuh or dier akan rampas dan kena bribe dier and all his friends just to get the passpot (polis ker tuh). After all it's all ok, memang nampak macam ada susah nyer tapi apart from that banyak jugak cerita bestnyer especially yang diorg tunjuk gambar yg grand2 kat russia, diorg cerita bender best kat russia...WE ALL LEAVE WITH A BROAD SMILE ON OUR FACE
 
Hari Kedua(Khamis 17 Julai): We have another briefing and this time with the ambassador himself that comes all the way from Russia. Hahh...this is where it is all started. His story is very harsh. He tell us us that russia is very ploha(so bad), it is just like a hell. The hall is just like 'woosh' as if all the colour in our faces being drained out. He told us that there's a lot of pick pocket that seems to always pick on us. Then he told us that there's a case of the skinhead murdered the african student. He also told us that we are being a target as the russian really don't like the strangers. He also told us that the wall in russia do have ear that it is still a communism nation that we simply can talk anything. The word that I always remember even until now is:
 
" I don't know why the gov send you to russia? besides I think you should think; what are the sins that you commited that God send you to russia"
 
Sins? how dare him..What? we all are that bad? I mean are we that bad that it is just like a punishment for us to go to russia?
shock as it is: WE ALL THEN LEAVE THE HALL WITH PALE FACE WITH SOME OF OUR HEART SAID; "GEEZ I AM AFRAID TO GO TO RUSSIA"
 
Hari ketiga( Jumaat 18 Julai): Actually apa yang  ambassador tu cakap really don't have effect on me..Well it's is my choice, then it is then shouldy from my point view. Tengah2 kelas lebih kurang pukul 10 suddenly our core person. I can see angry face from her appearance.
 
" You know what, I was very angry yesterday. Last night I was thinking if only today all 165 student will leave the russian programme, I will not blame you; I mean who can take that harsh news. Instead I will bash him after that. What he said?: what are the sin that you've been doing that you've been send to russia. I don't know what's wrong with him,I mean only you know how hard it is to get straight A in your spm and it is not because you're bad but bcoz you're excellent, my office is so busy receiving phone call. I told your senior and they were all shocked; they said-it's not like that we are there and we survive!!- All your senior all here back again to explain. Now you ask them the truth and judge who is the one that speak the truth.   
 
Lepas tu, kami jumpa balik beramai2 dengan senior- That time baru kami pucuk pangkal. Kes yang diberitahu memang ada tapi tak lah kerap sangat sampai russia jadi lembah maut. Waktu diorg byk buat perbandingan " Ala kat Malaysia pun ader jugak bender tuh kan..?!". At that moment buat kan saya berfikir, bahaya tu ada dimana-mana. Kita tak perlu pun nak keluar negara sebab di Malaysia sendiri kita boleh saksikan semua tu. Even our core person sendiri cakap yang our russian teacher sendiri takut nak ke Malaysia sebab kes2 Kenny Ong, skandal2 so on and so forth. Jadi ia adil sebenarnya. Lagipun kita bukannya boleh mengharap hidup ni berjalan lancar tanpa ada halangan sebab halangan ini yang kita kena hadapi untuk kita jadi lebih matang. Alhamdullilah nampak selepas tu- MENTARI MUNCUL LAGI.
 
Saya tertarik dengan satu ayat yang keluar dari mulut our senior " Russia is not a heaven, heaven is only in Malaysia but it is also not hell besides there's no place where it is call the bed of roses"-Betullah kater orang tua2 kan? "Hujan Batu di negeri sendiri, Hujan Emas di negeri orang, lebih baik di negeri sendiri."
