Big fat cat!!

Today, as I was walking to the trolley bus stop after class, I saw this big fat cat is resting on this metal thing ( don't know what is it called), but, it seems like there is steam coming up from it. No wonder the cat can just sit still there, even the temperature outside the street is -5C. Although I'm not a cat lover, but, yeah, seeing such a cool cat in such a cold weather, is really something very cool to share, isn't it?

Eating alot...!!! is it because of winter??

I've been eating a lot lately, especially at night. Is it because of the changed of the season- to winter, that i easily feel hungry? or simply wanted to have a bite. Anyways, those are a few of the junk that i eat, eating them for breakfast, for lunch sometimes, for snack, and now supper.
I like eating the biscuits with чай с молоком -tea with milk ( or back in Malaysia, also is name as teh tarik).
Russia has their own nice biscuits. Here in Kursk, those ( in the picture) are the biscuits i always buy in the supermarket...there are others too that i like,perhaps shall take a snap of those biscuits that i meant the next time i buy.
Back in Malaysia, there are various type of biscuits you can get in the supermarket. I know one of them, which is my youngest sister's favorite - chipsmore.



One common thing you can find among my siblings - we like to eat biscuits.

the бабушка(s)..

Today I went to the old folk’s home. This trip was organized by the social ministry in the church. This is my first visit there. When we reached there, the director of the home guided us to the grannies sitting at the living hall. We divided ourselves into 2 groups. The first group remained at the first floor. While the second group (I was in the 2nd group) we were brought up to the 2nd floor. We chat with them and ya, pretty enjoyable. The babushka gave me a present, emm, something like handcraft. She sewed the postcard together and makes it like a lantern. It’s very beautiful…I really appreciate it. We chat for about 2 hours and then is time to say goodbye. That’s not the end, we’ll be going on next Friday and this coming visit, by God’s grace, we shall make something special for them. Praise the Lord. I believe it is God’s great love that motivates us to love them as well.

amazing hostel 2009 by 4th hostel cell group

020109…today we had amazing hostel. After breakfast…me and dear went out for some groceries. Dear had group dinner tonight. He had to prepare fried rice. After that I came back and join the meeting ( all the cell group leaders who are in charged for the amazing hostel)…we finalized everything that is necessary. At 2 sharp, all of us met at the MSA room. It was really an amazing one. Thank God for everything. I was very anxious and worried to see Glory running with her big tummy( pregnant)…but, she seem to enjoy the most. Praise God for everything!

~~and here comes 2009…

010109…had a very relaxing day. I guess is the most relaxing day. I woke up, called mummy, had our brunch; and just laze around. I’m really happy. We had fried bee hoon for dinner. Fried bee hoon is such a common dish back in Malaysia, but, here it is so precious…that we could enjoy it only on big big occasions. What to do…limited edition!!!

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!

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?

was blind, but now, i see

For the past few days, I was kinda disturbed mentally and emotionally. Although by right I should be good in handling such stuffs…yet, I struggled.
I was very disappointed and felt this thing is too ridiculous, and unfair. Because of this, I was very upset and I could feel that my mind was simply jammed.
Till I went to the cell leader’s meeting; and Dr. Pascal shared something. To me, it is very obvious; GOD is using Pascal to teach me as well as to remind me my identity in Christ. He said something that really struck my heart. We have the authority.
At that moment, I felt like crying, and asking God for His mercy and grace… how foolish I was to trouble my mind with such nonsense.
For one thing I’m sure is, God will never allow us to be on the disadvantage side. God is Good and He is faithful. Praise the Lord.

knock knock...who's that?

Nowadays, each loud knock on the door…will always make me and my roommate look at each other for a moment…and quickly unplugged all the electrical appliances. We learnt from our mistake the other day.
I remembered it was on Thursday…suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was the hostel dean, and commandant and a fireman…they were here to check the electrical appliances that we are using. Something very awful happened. The fireman confiscated our electrical kettle. Actually, I guess my roomy misunderstood his question, when he asked us where do we use this kettle. She pointed the plug nearby the kettle, and obviously he concluded that we are using the kettle in the room. And that’s it…we could not prepare hot drinks for breakfast the next day.
Anyways, she managed to claim back from the hostel dean the following day by writing a petition and promise not to repeat the mistake again. I mean, the hostel dean actually allowed us to use in the room, but, whenever the fireman comes for spot-check…we should know what to tell the fellow.

time flies

Wow, time really flies.
It has been a month I did not update my blog… what was I busy with?
Well, kinda hard to answer. Perhaps, the schedule was kind of tight.
Anyways, I just want to thank GOD for bringing me through this whole month…
Today I had my discipleship in Italian café. Wow, just want to thank GOD for my sheep. I remembered Jaswine shared about being a good shepherd. Well, one of the points she shared was to be a good shepherd, is to feed your sheep. Today, my sheep fed me physically and spiritually. I am really blessed with his understanding about the story in the Bible (David). And his sharing really helps me to have deeper insights on God’s Word. God’s Word is so wonderful. If you take some time to read, you’ll find out that each sentence in the Bible is so meaningful and it does relate to your life.
Praise the Lord!

back to class ~ back to share

hi there...after such a long break...i'm back to share

I have started my 5 th year course...about 3 to 4 weeks ago...Thank GOD everything seems to be fine.
Yesterday i had my last day of psychiatry cycle...and we were given oral test. I was very tension...trying to take very very deep breath simply to cool down myself...yet, the tense is there. I claimed for God's favor and His peace.
Praise the Lord, i could managed to answer teacher's question and pass the test well.
I don't know why, but the interest to learn more about this course is so great, perhaps i'm too curious about it.
I told mummy about it, and told her, about the interest and if taking up this course as my specialization... and guess what, she didn't really like my idea... for the first time, mummy is kinda reluctant to agree with me...papa too...Papa said, that he's afraid, i would be influenced by those people in the ward...errr....anyways; in order not to worry them too much, i told them, perhaps the interest is for temporary only...

Driving to Putrajaya...

Today is the first time dear drove to putrajaya. Wow!! I really want to thank GOD for His guidance. We were lost actually, but, He prepared a way for us. Things were done by 12 30 pm, and we were able to go back and pick mummy up for lunch.
Tonight dinner- I will prepare.
Well, I plan to cook, black pepper chicken, soup, and fried some green vege.
I really want to thank dear for helping me up with this.
Thank GOD for everything – and ppl actually enjoyed the food. Praise GOD!
After dinner, I helped mummy to packed and did the final packing. At about 12 am, ayi and family arrived. They sent popo here…and after that we will be heading to the airport to send off popo , mummy and Johnny for UK.

Home Sweet Home

Home sweet home is mummy's favorite phrase, whenever she came back home from holidays...
I reached home on the 10th of July.
Mummy came and pick us up. Well, after sending mummy back to her office, dear drove back the car. After that, dear sent me to hair saloon to have a hair cut. So light now.
Then, we went out for dinner.
After dinner, me and dear and mummy had a very long chat.
However, we did not dare to go too far, coz, mummy has to wake up early to go to work, and us too. I mean me and dear we planned to go to Putrajaya to do the stamping for cert translation.

last sheperd meeting with fern

Today I went out to have lunch with Fern at the Italian restaurant. we ordered a pie of pizza and a plate of pasta. I felt so full. We talked about things that happened in our lives for the past few weeks, that we did not managed to meet up, since me and fern were having our exams... i really want to take this opportunity to thank God for arranging Fern to be my sheperd...i learnt alot from her. Learn to be patient in any circumstances be it, dealing with people and situation that seems cloudy. She is so attentive, knowing that we are leaving for Moscow tomorrow night, she prepared some tibits for me and dear and Ame...so that we can munch in the mashrut. I was actually very reluctant to leave the meeting, but...time did not allow me to stay longer...she is busy with her graduation thingy and me, have to rush back to do the packing...anyways, after the meeting with Fern, me and dear met up at dom pitta. We then went to hyperlinear to get some chocolates – dear wanted to get some of chocolates for his sister and friends. Pretty tired tho.

Thank GOD for His faithfulness. 2 Tim 2 : 13

If we are not faithful, He remains faithful, because He cannot be false to Himself~2nd Tim 2:13

God is great. We were finally been arranged to fly on the 9th and will be landing at KLIA on the 10th at 3 15 pm.
Hallelujah praise the Lord.

One quarrel, argue even fight, when she or he hasn’t the peace in him or her.

yeah, there were many arguments between me and dear or me and ame.
I realized when a person has not enough peace in him or her, this person tend to fall into an argument easily, and when, such argument is not properly dealt, then, don’t be surprised that this may turned out to be a fight.
I really thank GOD for His grace and mercy. I thank God that whenever I was in the verge of falling into an argument, He pulled me up and filled me with His peace.

thank GOD for His signal

I really want to thank God for His prompting on me to have the itinerary ( air ticket from Russia to Dubai to Malaysia). After confirming the ticket with the travel agent, we just leave it and did not take any further action.
However , today, after the prompting of the Holy Spirit, we tried to open the page, and check for the itinerary to be printed out…and guess what, we just couldn’t turn on the page. Dear then, tried to call the Moscow airport for confirmation, and truly, the flight was cancelled. I was kinda worried, but, I told myself, I really need to be ok…could not afford to mess up the condition anymore. I then started to prepare dinner, as me, dear, and ame hasn’t; eaten anything yet since morning.
I cooked sweet and sour. I was actually, very blur at that moment, I dumb the vege, meat into the same pot, and start cooking it and made some gravy and ya..
Thank GOD, it turned out to be eatable, and Ame still said that it tasted good.
I decided not to be fuss with it, and leave it to GOD to settle it, coz I knew it is only GOD that can made such things possible.

hot weather with short fan

Today after class, I went to technocila, to buy a fan. The fan is only 15 cm tall. This fan has no base, as how the usual fan had. It has a clip, where we can clip the fan at the edge of the table or bed. After paying, I asked the person in charge to test for me; to check whether is the fan is working properly or not. But, the guy just asked me to go back, and told me to go back to them anytime, if there’s a problem with the fan. Well, I wasn’t very happy with his attitude. and fine, without wasting my time, I went back, and start to on the fan. True enough, the fan isn’t working. I was kind of mad with the guy. I have to go back to the shop again. Thank GOD dear dear accompanied me there and helped me to tell the person. He then checked for me and got me the new one.
I’m really happy, coz, finally, I have my own fan. It is very necessary you know…as the weather in mid June is so hot.

summer race~ bbq.

Today the church is celebrating the 6th anniversary. So in conjunction to this celebration, they had organized a programme called “the summer race”. Everyone was required to meet up at the Padfak Hall at 10 am. Firstly, I would like to thank GOD and praise GOD for such a wonderful weather. Today’s weather was really the perfect one! Not too hot, and not too cold. Wow, very rare to have such kind of weather in summer.
So, after dividing us into the respective groups, we all then head to the Kursk Gate – that was our starting point. The first event, 2 people from each group had to run hand in hand for about a hundred meter. Then, they were asked to pick a number and passed to the person in charge, and run back to the point that they started. Next, we were asked to guess a place – the clue was something connected with the Book of Psalms in the Bible.
We were kind of struggling, thinking of the next check point. Finally, yes! The Pushkin Theater. There, the person in charge gave each of the group a task – to find the respectives references for the given bible verses. After that, we were asked to go to the Kursk Hotel, and there’s another check point. The next person in charge asked us to divide our group members equally into 3 small groups. Each of the small groups were asked to go to 3 different supermarket. 1st- shum, 2nd – grin, 3rd – perikastok, manesh.
So me and dear were asked to go to manesh. Guess what, I had a very terrible experience there. I was accused, for not paying a bottle of 0.5 L mineral water – Bon Aqua. I tried explaining to them, ok, it was my mistake number one, to bring in outside product, and I entered the wrong way, instead of the entrance, I enter through the exit way. Ok…I admit that…but, I wonder what the guard was for? I mean, were they been employed for just standing in front of the supermarket just like other models in the clothes shops? I was very angry plus I was in a rush, and couldn’t talk more. Why? Coz the cashier, the guard…both of them was so unreasonable!
I was very mad at their attitude towards the customers. Dear was with me, even though dear helped me to explain to them, they ignore all the explanations, till chee kai came and settle the fuss with money. ~ Simply pay them for no reason!! We then left the Manesh and got into the mashrute to central market, to meet up with other members. We arrived quite late. Anyways, the next event was we were asked to eat the bun - 4 hot dog buns.
And the last task was, we were supposed to go back to Padfak. Choc ky, one of our members fell down…and got scratched on his abdomen and elbow. Fern helped him to clean the wound and bought him the antiseptic cream. She then helped him to apply on the wounded area. Anyways, we were then asked to memorize psalm 91. so we divide the whole chapter equally among the group members. Not more than 5 mistakes, says the person in charge. We managed to recite them out, with 4 mistakes, and overall we got the 3rd place. Hey, not bad though…3rd out of 15 groups. The summer race was ended with barbeque, somewhere behind out hostel. Wow, the view was so fascinating.
I just want to thank GOD for His protection and guidance upon us. Thanks dear for helping me especially at some points, I just dun feel like running, even walking.
