for me and dear ^-^

God loved us so much
He gave us each other
Cherish each moment
as a special gift from Him

every good gift and perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father...James 1:17

Ushering year 2009…

Today, we were supposed to sit for our Russian credit test. But, since today is New Year Eve…teacher said, is ok…we were exempted to sit for the test. Well, I missed called dear, and we met at SHUM, as how we had planned. Today is our 4th Annv. I bought a watch for my dear, and dear bought me a mp3 player. I felt so blessed. We had our lunch at the pushkinskii food court. Tonight ame not joining us for dinner, so, left me and dear dear only. We bought pizza and some rolled thingy with cheese. We also had ice cream, pine apple with coke. Wow…very happy.
I really thank God for His blessings upon our relationships. I knew it is because of His love that we can love. May God continue to guide us and teach us to be a couple that is pleasing to Him.

so early in the morning...

Today me and dear went to hyper linear for groceries. Guess what time we departed from the hostel? It was about 8 plus in the morning. Well, this is not the first time tho, I remembered few semesters, we went out much earlier than today. Some even think that we are crazy, walking in the cold on Sunday morning instead of lying on your warm and comfort bed; but, who cares…the most important thing is that both of us had fun!
We took the mashrute; in the mashrute, there were only both of us. Then, we started to shop for groceries and some Christmas gifts. After that, we took a mashrute back to the uni. I brought dear dear to a place for lunch. I’ve been telling him about this place for the past several weeks, but we both were too busy with studies.
Today finally we could go to the place. I ordered pancake, dear ordered omelet with mushrooms, and we both shared a plate of Cesar’s salad and a glass of fresh orange. Even though it was just a simple meal, I believed we both enjoyed it. After that, we went to the market, and shop for some vegetables. Then, we took the trolley bus back to our hostel. Before walking back to the hostel, I asked dear to accompany me to a shop that sells cups, plates and others decorative ornaments. I thought of getting some ornaments to decorate my room for Christmas. I found a big Santa sock. After that we walked back to the hostel. By 12 noon, we reach our rooms.
Indeed an enjoyable day!

Eliza has grown up...

Today, I asked my youngest sister to send me her pictures. Mummy told me that she attended the Dental Dinner last week, and was very well dressed. I was very excited, and asked her to send her pictures to me immediately. She looked so awesome, so gorgeous, and so adorable. My goodness, I just want to praise God and thank God for bringing her up thus far, and I believe He will do more great things in her life as she continues to grow in the Lord. My youngest sister now is doing dentistry in AIMST, Malaysia.

my oldest friend

Yesterday, I met up with Dalween. I knew Dal since kindergarten. Imagine, 20 years of friendship.
I believe it was God’s timing for us to meet up. Actually, I ordered a box of Christmas muffin for her, not knowing that she has already shifted to the apartment…thus Lynn Wei can’t help me to deliver to Dal.
I tried all ways to get her contact, and finally Pris suggested to look for Rene. I asked Pauline for his contact… and straight after that, I text him and ask for Dal’s number. I text Dal, telling her that I’ve something for her. So, we decided to meet up in the uni the next day.
I brought the muffin along to class. (Having Tuberculosis cycle, in quite a distance hospital)…after class, Pauline wanted to go Радуга to have a look. Ok then, since there were still time…. I was looking around the stuffs there. Very attractive! Suddenly there was a prompt in my heart to get something for Dal. So, I started to look around, searching something nice for her. Aha, found one. It’s a candle set. I then bought a present paper bag and put the candle set inside.
After that we all left the shop and I took a bus back to the uni. On the way, I took out the muffins that I wanted to present to her. Oh no! The muffins were damaged, except for one- the banana flavor. I thank God that He prompted me to get a gift for her from Радуга. We then meet up and had the gift exchange. I explained to her about the muffins, and I could manage to give her one out of three muffins. She was very happy, and we even shared the muffins.
Even though the meeting was just for a few minutes, it just brought us back to the time where we spend together in Jelebu. She was the 1st friend i knew during my childhood life; no wonder at the top of the present paper bag that she gave me, she wrote “from your oldest friend”. I was really touched by those words.

i wonder for a moment

There is one situation running in my head. Today, someone complaint, not actually complaining tho, perhaps, it’s just a sharing. Well, after hanging up the phone, I wonder for a moment. If I was in the situation, I would have just bought another extra ticket; what is that after all to treat someone so dear to you, and had took the effort to take care of you during your younger days… I can’t understand why someone rather speaks words which are kind of unwise and unpleasant than just getting a ticket for that person.
For me, I will not hesitate to buy the extra ticket for the person even though the ticket cost so much.

why is it so?

Sometimes I’ve been wondering, why I have to be the one to bear all these… someone once told me that not to care too much about other people’s business…yet, I just can’t learn it. Why do people need to manifest the effect of mood swing? Why can’t people control their temper or even the facial expression? Must they show it out? Is it to attract attention from the surrounding people?

how lifestyle influence on students' performances in studies

For the past few days, I was very busy completing my OZZ (public health) research work. The research work is on “how lifestyle influence on students’ studies.” Here is the abstract of my writings upon the survey done. Really thank God for His power to complete this task. Praise the Lord.
This study examined the relationship between a healthy lifestyle and students’ performances in studies. A healthy lifestyle was measured by diet, exercise, sleep, alcohol use, and tobacco use. The participants included 300 undergraduate students from Kursk State Medical University, who represented a range of ages, gender and nationality. It was hypothesized that a healthy lifestyle would be positively related to students’ performances in studies. More specifically, that diet and exercise would have a positive relationship to students’ studies, and alcohol and tobacco use would have a negative relationship to students’ studies.
This survey is very important in order to find out factors in a students’ lifestyle that can make them healthy or unhealthy. Basic diet and nutrition aids a student in many different ways. Eating the correct amount of nutrients provided in the food groups is essential for the body’s proper functioning and may affects overall performance, which we would assume that the performance could also include cognitive performance of students. Exercise is another aspect that is important to a students’ health. Exercise activities have been known to boost energy levels, release tension, prevent illnesses, reduce the risk of heart disease, and help a student to manage stress. It is found that students who did not engage in physical activity also had an array of other unhealthy habits, such as poor diet, smoking, and low academic performance. On the contrary, students who engage in physical activity had higher grade point averages and have better relationships with their parents. Exercise not only promotes good physical health but it also aids a student’s psychological health. Excessive alcohol use and use of tobacco products are harmful to one’s body because it can cause illnesses and turn into an addiction. This is very unhealthy, because addictions severely hinder a student’s present and potential capabilities because the body becomes dependent on the substance. Excessive use of alcohol also can cause students to use bad judgment and can also lead to more serious health problems such as cirrhosis of the liver, inflammation of the pancreas, brain and heart damage, and malnutrition. Tobacco use can also cause a variety of serious health problems among students. Smoking may cause lung cancer, stroke, heart disease, infertility, and bronchitis. Finally, the studies also examined how a stressful lifestyle may influence on students’ studies. It is very important for the students to have a balance lifestyle in order for their bodies and minds to function properly.
Thus, if a healthy lifestyle is not achieved, the students will encounter problems not only physically but mentally as well. Ultimately, if student’s health is not up to par then that student will not perform to their potential in their studies.

being surrounded by the garden of God's grace

It has been a while again...
hmm, kinda busy with the tight schedule for the past weeks...had ENT cycle and followed by Therapy. Well, just want to praise the Lord, because of His love, He sustained me. As it is writen in 1st Peter 5:7 - cast all your cares unto Him, for he cares for you.
God is good. In time of difficulties, God will just lift you up. He is faithful, He will never leave you nor forsake you. Along the ENT cycle, i can experienced myself being surrounded by the garden of God's grace. His favor and blessings is indescribable.
Praise the Lord.
