Brief Introduction of the Blog

Welcome to another TajARiff Blog Series

(Добро пожаловать в другой TajAriff Blog Series)

This blog is being developed to share with readers my first experience being in this great city. The main intention is to visit "T"who has been in the city since Oct 2011 to pursue her study in one of medical universities in Moscow. Even though we have been to major cities in the world ( refer to TajAriff blog series namely "Tajariff-World Tours Series"), visiting Moscow has been a unique experience for myself and the family. Moscow is unique and different in many ways to other cities in the world. It could be easily observed and reflected in respect of its people, cultures, customs, language, food and religion. Our short stay in the city was a fantastic, exciting and memorable one .

Among others, I am really thrilled with Russian nesting dolls (matrioshka, matryoshka, babushka doll, stacking dolls) which is the most popular Russian national souvenir. The wide fame was won by Russian matryoshka nesting doll far abroad. At all large exhibitions, fairs, the festivals held in different counties of the world, amusing cheerful nesting dolls are most fascinating exhibits. Also it seems, that matroyshka nesting doll has come to us from a gray-haired antiquity, from the world of legends and fairy tales.

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest appreciation to those who have been assisting me in one way or another to make my stay an exciting one. Thanks to all T 's collegues ,seniors in Dom 35 and 39 ,(Tan Sri,Chan,Rama, Nadhirah,Ogie, Nad, Zyrith, Shaz, Shakir, Hod, Azim and others) and of course to Prof whom I have a pleasure to meet and have a brief chat with him while I was there. He is a great humble Russian. I wish I would be able to interact with more T 's lecturers in my future visit...

Have you ever being invited for a gathering or a party ? and surprisingly you are requested to bring your own spoons ? he he ..... Pse read on

11 Sept 2011-Off she went back for Moscow again !!!!

11 th Sept 2011 was the day when T left us again to chase her dream. It was not an easy moment for her to leave us again after spending a fantastic and enjoyable moments ( almost 3 months) with her families , friends and relatives. We left for KLIA after isya' and drove through a cold ,wet and rainy night . As usual, we never have been a light traveler so do. She has 2 luggage ( medium sizes)weighed almost 35 kg.... exceeding by 5kg . Besides, she has a laptop backpack, a cabin bag and of course lady handbag...... I guessed it was probably too much for her to take on her own....

Would U like to guess what she was taking with her in the bags? he he he . I believe you will know what are inside the heavy bags if U have ever been a student studying overseas before.....

But deep in my heart, I knew she will be able to manage them safely .

We went to have our light dinner together as a family in McD... chatting while trying to explore our feelings together as families

Soon after that we went for baggage check in . After completing all the normal procedures in the airport , she and her friends were ready to depart for Moscow via Dubai at about 2 am. As expected, parents ,relatives were there to send them off ......hugging with tears on their eyes were usual scene between the loved ones . Similarly, we did the same . It was a very touching moments indeed even though not as bad as the first trip last years

All the best to U my dear.... Have a pleasant 14 hours flight (KLIA- Dubai - Moscow) and stay in Moscow...... See U soon either in Moskva or KL insyaAllah...

Good bye my beloved "T"...Take Good Care of Yourself... May Allah Guide and bless u always

See all of you again in the next series " Welcome to Moscow Series 2 (2011-2112)

15 June 2011, Welcome Home!!!!!!!!

Here at last 15 of June 2011; We are extremely delighted to see our T back home...As usual I am an early riser and I am already at the lawn by (after solat subuh) watering my garden. At 8.00 am Ma is already in the kitchen preparing all the favourite for T ... (such as shhhhhhhh tempoyak... sambal macang, ikan bilis goreng etc etc ......ha ha typical Perakian kampong family ) alone. I went to wet market to buy other things that required by ma. By 12.00 pm all the food is ready.... ha ha

By 1:00 pm we are ready to shoot off for KLIA. Adik, Ma and myself are very excited .......Here we go.... I drove my W.31 leisurely through MRR2 highway across Sepang highways to KLIA. It took us about just under 45 minutes . We reached airport at about 2:15 pm. We wondered around the arrival terminal and have some light refreshment while waiting for T's arrival......
The flight from Dubai has landed safely at last at 3.15pm .............. We are excited and relieved .

After waiting for about an hour , at last we saw our beloved T appeared with her new malay friend ( an engineering student from UK) ...... Here again our daughter is back into our arms.... Alhamdullillah . After going through usual brief moments of hugging and crying in happiness ,
we went straight to the parking area where I have parked my 31... Off we go to TDJ ..... T is very eager to see her new home where she has never been before ....... TDJ
We talked and talked endlessly throughout the journey home.....
I will share all the happy moments and the air of excitements surrounded our families in the next post

14th June : Demododevo to Dubai to KLIA

My fanilies are very excited when the day has come at last .14 & 15 June 2011, the date when T will be back home for her summer holiday.... Even though I am a bit upset what her friends did to her ... but I guess thats something we have to go through in life... But I believe , "Setiap yang berlaku ada hikmahnya".. I keep passing this message over to T .....

On 14th of June, she and her friend went to airport DME with the assistance of a fourth year student (Tan Sri) whom I have met during my last visit to Moscow last year. Thanks Tan Sri,( a very kind, helpful and handsome Malaysian guy) for all the assistance for their flight logistics and seeing them departing from DME airport. I was in constant communication with T while she was in DME and Tan Sri was so kind to inform me that T and her friend have safely pass the immigration checks prior departure. Thanks..

I was really thrilled and a bit nervous as she will be travelling with her roommate who will be stopping at Dubai and T will travelling alone from Dubai to KL for the first time. I knew she was very nervous and unsure about what to be expected. I kept communicating with her via mobile and YM throughout the journey and provide her as much guidance and confidence as possible .I even track her flight via net and knew exactly where she was throughout the journey. I even woke up at 4am on 15 June when I got an alarm from my laptop indicating that particular flight whe she was in has landed in Dubai airport......
An hour later and we talked through phone for a while and later chat through YM as she has problem receiving calls from her handphone

I felt relieved when she told me she met a Malaysian while on transit in Dubai airport. She was an engineering student from UK on the same flight back to KL too. Alhamdullillah .. see u in KLIA soon
