Welcome Back Darren!

It has been some time that I’ve last posted up a new post on my poor little blog here. And now, it’s time to make this blog to go back to it’s original pathway. Well, life in Moscow is great actually but there is nothing perfect isn’t? I’m not going to touch anything about the cons anymore as it’s so sensitive so those people over here. Things go from mouth to mouth with the speed of light over here. Scary isn’t? It’s freaking scary. Anyway, I just don’t want to waste my time thinking about that anymore. My cell group has thought me to CHANGE and NOT TO LOOK BACK! AMEN! Yeah, that’s freaking true. Praise the Lord. He is the one who sent me to this track and I know, there is something that he wants me to learn over here.

I’ve got no idea on whether any of you watched a video on Facebook where the pastor said, ‘ The new F word in this church is FORGIVE’. So, FORGIVE everyone. And, sorry to all those who I’ve hurt them since I was born into this tiny complicated world. Forgive me please. The two main chapters which really woke me up was CHANGE and NOT TO LOOK BACK.

Spring is here in Moscow but the weather is kind of weird over here as it has been snowing on and off for the pass few days. This made me feel that it’s not spring yet and maybe, I wouldn’t get a chance to enjoy spring too. I saw grasses growing by the road while walking to my university a week ago and now, it’s covered with snow again. On the other hand, I still prefer this weather as when the temperature changed to 4 degrees the other day, I felt like I’m back in Malaysia. I could even sweat at 4 degrees now! Am I going to sweat like waterfall when I’m back in Malaysia? Hopefully not.

I’ll be back in Malaysia this coming July and I managed to go to the airline office to confirm my ticket alone! I’m glad that I never get lost or didn’t manage to send the message that I wanted which is to confirm my flight ticket to the person in-charged at the office. Besides, I get to have a free sight seeing of a new place in Moscow. It’s Fruzenskaya. It’s had evening market over there and a Orthodox church too!

While I was walking, I saw lots and lots of strawberries. So I just get myself 500 grams of it. It’s sweet!

This was the Orthodox Church that I am talking about. As usual, I went in the church and I saw the ladies putting on their ‘tudung’s’ and I was shocked as I thought I‘ve entered a mosque but in the end, when I uploaded this picture on Facebook, my senior told me that it was an Orthodox Church. Lucky me.

After confirming my flight and the sight seeing part, I went for a short metro-hopping session. Metro hopping is when you stop at a metro station, get out from the station and have a look at a new surrounding. So, I stopped at Okhotny Ryad. I found a street with a few high class restaurants to dine in at. Not only that, as one of the restaurant was a Chinese Restaurant! I’m so going to dine in there some day! It’s going to be great. And here is a picture of it.

After that I went back to my hostel.

Verdict? I’m happy that I can study here. I’ll just do my very best to obtain enough knowledge to be informative enough in the future. There were some arguments last time over here but I did not look back into it anymore. I’ll just grow to be a better person as time passes by.

See you soon people! Love you guys.

Жизнь!

Hello again! It has been a while since I posted a new post on my blog. Sorry about that as I am going through lots of ups and down every single day. Nothing is as simple as we think. Winter break is over two weeks ago and YEAH, I did the right decision which is to go back to Malaysia during that period of time. It was really worth it. Being with my family for a month and I also get to meet my Pre-U and my secondary school friends really made my day.

These pictures was taken back at The Curve with Aron,Samuel and Vincent. Sorry that I didn’t take a photo with you Shang Yie. Shall take more photos when I’m back for my summer break. Dishearteningly, I have to go through a real tough journey before summer break would come. Ahh, why here? Why coming to Russia? Why being is this sick room? and Why am I stuck with this sick people here? All kind of questions.

I would start my day at 3am every single day if possible and I will start it with a cup of hot Nescafe. Coffee is a must to drink for me every single day and I think I am addicted to it already. No worries as I am trying to control my coffee intake right now. Coffee is not good for our health anyway. Being up at 3am is just so peaceful where the whole atmosphere is quiet. It will just be me with some soft musics, my coffee and my breakfast. It became my routine since I came back to Moscow as this is the only time where I can have my own privacy. Not only that, I could also have a real calm and peaceful atmosphere to study. People from the next unit can just come into my room to SLEEP or to watch movie till midnight is just so stupid. As though as there is no bed at their own room. So sad.

I’ll just admit this. I hate being here right now in Moscow. Moscow is treating me well and not forgetting those awesome Russian people here. They are just so nice if you get to know them. But, everything has it’s on cons. So there will be some cold Russians here too. The verdict for me is that Russians are just so cool to be with. Back to the main point, some of our own people are just so F-up-ed right here. We are here to study and not to enjoy life so much. Just because of them skipping class to do their own business back in hostel, the class just got canceled. What am I suppose to do? Just don’t go for the class because of you? Not going for lectures but attendance are taken for those who did that is just so common here. This is what Malaysian government should look at right now. This is also a concrete reason on why Malaysian government pinpointed at graduates who are from Russia. ‘Спасибо большоe’ to all of you.

I’m still thinking of another way to get out of this F-uped life here in Moscow and YES I have a few ideas already and it will be done soon. To all the parents out there, you can send your children for medical studies here in Russia just that you should know what are they doing here every single day. The lectures and lecturers here are good! Besides, medical studies is not all about attending lectures and sit for exams but you must also do some research on the Internet.

Two days ago was Men’s Day! I got this from my cell group and thanks to all C2 girls who did this for the men. Thanks a lot and the muffin just tasted so delicious.

Till then. <3
