“The only way to comprehend what mathematicians mean by Infinity is to contemplate
the extent of human stupidity.” – Voltaire

Came across this phrase yesterday… couldn’t agree more! But it has nothing to do with these post! =)

Nizhny Games 08 went alrite…..the committee did a great job indeed!
As an outsider of the organizing committee…. I see mostly perfection…
Been to the 1st ever Intervarsity Games in Moscow..it was something like ours this time… so that means these group of ppl really deserve a loud applause.
Volgames which I took part was fun except for the food part….
Nizhny proved that with so little manpower….we could do something big!

I wasn’t in charge of anything…..I wish I was….but that was because nobody approached me. I was still there during the first day…… lending tiny bit of help…
Badminton match fixing?? That was hilarious! One by one team asked for preferences except Kursk…maybe since they already know they are the winners =)
MAI wanted to get away from the court asap back to Kstovo as they are losing everything and so they walk-over. Later Volgo walk-over due to lack of players.
So in the end it was only all matches between Nizhny and Kursk…..
I was sad though as my favorite player end up didn’t play singles…. That would have been a great game to watch.

From my observation, this games has turn sour…..not more of a friends get together but enemies in the making….. The 1st two I’ve been(moscow and Volgo) was fun…..many made new friends….. and it wasn’t a rough game at all!

Here there was a fractured nose, broken eye glasses, swollen lips…and latest a fractured tibia!
This is not the way it suppose to be…
I hope Volgo will bring back the true spirit of the games!

Joke for the day…

An about 80 y.o male patient was taking a walk along the corridor when me and 2 guys of my group went to 6th floor of 5th hospital. We were literally hunting patient for our video demo in order to get Russian avtomat…. Suddenly this dear patient came up to me..

Pat: Skolko liet dedushki? (how old is the grandpa)
Me: kto? (who?)
Pat : repeat ques
Me: Ya ne panimayu (I do not get ur ques)
Pat : Skolko liet dedushki kotori s vami prishli suda? (how old is the grandpa whot came here with you)
Me: *confused* Izvinitye pazaluishta….ya ne ponimayu (I’m sorry but I still don’t get ur ques)
Pat: repeat same ques with his hand demonstrating a person with beard
After few seconds,I saw my dear classmate with his ‘kambing’ janggut…
Then I got the joke….
He was referring to this classmate of mine - grandpa with long beard….

ROTFL

ps: I’ve no russian keyboard..sorry for the English version of Russian…

After many failed attempts to get patient to talk to us for 5-10 mins for the video demo….. we nearly gave up…until we met a kind 67 year old who willingly talked to us…
He is a Prof of Genetics in Agricultural University of Gorkovo….and he knows English….
a good patient indeed….

too sad after getting the not so good news from a fren….
why this shud happen? Could i have done anything to help prevent it?
Not feeling guilty coz i know i tried my level best to help……..just not feeling quite right …..
When many are living with masks…….surviving the ordeals with imitations…..
How could you let yourself to be fooled????

Can just hope that you made the right decision….
See you soon
