Spending The last Day of 2006 ;)

Spending the last day of year 2006, as usual today I went to church, after the service everyone starts to bid their goodbyes and wishes for the New Year, at that instance I can just feel the love in each and every one of us, and obviously I was glad. The whole gang of us went to Ramstore together and bought some stuff, then came back to the hostel.

Initially the plan for today is that me and Chong (5th yr senior) will have our dinner together, mana tau change of plan the whole gang of us ate together, and I was indeed very glad and happy to spend that wonderful moment with all of them, all of us are Christians. I just pray to God that our friendship would continue to grow and all of us can enjoy each others company. Thanks to the Blessings of God, most of the time, me and Fung where given the opportunity to join them and enjoy the fellowship together.

At 10pm, all of us met in Jeremy’s room, we had a game, and some time of testimonial sharing and fruits with herbal tea, all prepared by Chua Ling. After a time of prayer, we did count down and wished each other.

Reflecting back for the pass 2yrs. I remember in yr 2005, it was one of the best yr in my life, being able to enjoy a yr of college life and met many many new friends, with wonderful experiences, I really thank God for that yr and much of His Blessings. Last yr, 2006 was one of the yr where I experience a lot in life, being in the state of life where there are a lot of ups and downs, preparing me for this yr and everything in it. Although it was a difficult yr for me but at the same time, I really thank God for all His Blessings and promises, through these experiences it enables me to appreciate my family and some of my friends even more. 2006 had scrubbed me a lot but I believe with all these scrubbing I’ll be a better man, the man that God wants me to be.

Since 10pm something Malaysian time, I tried calling back to my mum, dad and brothers. I’m sure all of them will be at the seaside, and I wanted to wish all of them A Blessed New Year, mana tau the call just can’t get through. I remember last yr, half way through the testimonial sharing, Abraham called from Seville, Spain. And at that time, I was thinking after a yr I’ll call back from Russia and do the same thing. Who knows, the line just can’t get through, and I can’t sent my wishes. I really miss those days where we use to celebrate Christmas and New Year together. Take care everyone and May God continue to Shower His Blessings over each and everyone of U all in this New Year, with love

Christms Day ------ My best Present of the Year

I when to class as usual and then when to get some daily products and also stuffs for my roommates B’day celebration, and then went back. This day was quite a routine, I did my chemistry studies until 1am something but the next day our lecture said that there will be no independent work (routine test), but never mind, studying is my duty, so I wasn’t really bordered.

However, at Christmas Day I got my best Christmas present for the year ------- manage to hear Anthony’s voice when I call back to church to talk with my love ones. When I heard his voice through the phone, I immediately broke out into tears, those where not tears of sadness but rather the tears of joy. I talked to them for quite a long time and was then scolded by the front door lady, maybe because she can’t go through the phone as I was talking so long, I was actually given only 3 minutes to use that phone. However, the ‘mama’ in charged wasn’t angry at all, although that lady scolded me, and I could also hear her shouting at ‘mama’, I apologized and even to ‘mama’ but she said never mind with a smile on her face, she is indeed very kind.

When back to my room, then to the toilet but it was at that time I prayed out to God, shared to Him my feelings, the people that I missed so very much and thank Him because I was able to once again hear Ant’s voice. Being too emotional, I broke to tears again but reflecting in everything at that quiet moment of mine with God, I just want to thank Him for answering my prayers and His showers of Blessings over Ivan. Honestly, I enjoyed that time of emotional break out, it enables me to be joyful, strong and was seriously encouraged, and I know that I was never alone and never will be ;)

Silent Night entering into Christmas Day

This day was once in a life time day and experience for me. After the service, I was given the opportunity to do benediction, but indeed I was very nervous. At 5pm, everyone of us gathered at Joshua’s house and all of us had a wonderful dinner celebration together with laughter and joy, it was one of the best Christmas dinner I have ever been, the one that I use to have back in Penang the feeling is like being at home, everyone of us are like a family, it was some sort of a port Bless, but I actually didn’t prepare anything except my stomach and appetite, hehehe……

We did count down in my friends room back at the hostel, and I was deeply and seriously regret of my deeds, I guess I was too high, shouting and singing Merry Christmas, until the ‘mama’ here came to scold us and asked us to Shut Up !!!!! At that night I was really touched by my opposite neighbor Ren Geng and Bala Rajan. Bala leaved a New Year card in my laptop, so as soon as I opened my laptop, then the New Year card is in view. Ren Geng was really too much, he gave me a New Year card, a bar of Chocolate, like what he gave to others ( he is like the Santa Claus) but he also gave me a personal gift, which is a Christmas towel, I was seriously so touched and glad to have a friend, partner and companion like him, May God Bless us so that when we go for the Malaysian Games we will Rule….!!!!!!!

The next day I had Latin and Russian class, and I really screwed up in both of the class as I was busy celebrating and didn’t really did revision over the weekend, ended up getting 3 out of 5 in both class, but I also had physical training at that day and that was actually fine.

Christmas Celebration-23/12/06

Just got back from a Christmas party, organized by the Jesus Embassy. Let me be honest with U all, that Christmas party was actually one of the most boring and un meaningful Christmas party I have ever been, but there is one thing that I really have to give compliment, Ivan is always Ivan, the food was really very awesome and tasty. They even catered for vegetarians. So to me that was the only fun part in the party. There is actually a present exchange also, I just gave 2 small bar of chocolate, while in return I got a box of chocolate, hahaha…….. This is really very fair. Well, tomorrow after my church’s Christmas service, we will also be having a Christmas celebration in Joshua’s house, I am quite sure that it would be more interesting and meaningful.

Just out this blog from Ren Geng, one of my friend that I enjoy mixing with, its all about the place that we stay and the university that we go.

Thought of the Day (II)

When I just continue my days without thinking about things that I use to do last year around this time then I am fine, I have no problem continuing my daily activities – marketing, studying, go to university, rest and all those basic stuff. However, when I start to thing back about how my life and activities where last year, then I seriously miss those days so very very much, where no words can explain. The feeling is just like locking U in a separate room where U can’t even see yourself or even your shadow, everything is so dark. All U can hear is just laughter and joyful spirit from the room opposite.

I always thought then when I come to Russia, I’ll miss my friends like a crying baby. But I was wrong, I actually miss my parents and family the most. The times spend together and memories we had. Every week all I can do is just to webcam with them through this little screen of mine, without any physical touch or daily encouragement. However, I am still very glad (as weilup said we might be sad, but we have the spirit of God and we will always remain joyful), because I never thought that I can use webcam over here, I thought that I can just chat through the phone only.

The other thing that I am thankful about is the opportunities given to me, so far being here for less then 3 months; I am the weekly guitarist for my church, in one occasion I was also given the opportunity to play the guitar and sing a song representing the Malaysian students during International students day which came out on the daily news and also to present a song in one of the church service, best of all is that on this Sunday on Christmas Eve, I am asked to give Benediction to the congregation. One more thing is that, I am the captain of the Ping Pong team which will represent Volgograd’s Malaysian students next year in Moscow for competition.

I actually didn’t see all these things coming, thanks to God I was given the opportunity. However, my friends back in Malaysia can never be replaced, at times I really feel down and can’t find anyone to really talk about it, but I understand close friends don’t just come from the factory, that’s why I am waiting patiently for the Blessing of God, so far in my group I am closer to W. Fung and Lee, 2 occasion where me and Lee were actually studying, then halfway we just started talking and it went on non-stop until 12 something then only we go and sleep, it happened again yesterday.(18-12-06)

Ivan says: I love God, my Family, Friends and the food in Malaysia.

Thanks to my lovely Friends......

Today I just found out that the call that Chong Yi made to me the other day cost him more than Rm20. Wow…… that’s too much to ask from him leh, I fell so bad and yet felt very happy and comfort to have a friend like him. I sincerely pray that God would continue to Bless this beloved and loving friend of mine. I just hope that our friendship would continue to stay strong and close to each others heart.

Suddenly, it just brought me back to my memories. The days that we have spend 3 years ago in a NYC where we got to know Jacyntha, Melissa and Cecila. The days where we use to come together for football, the time, laughter, joke and things being shared as they come to my house or sometimes I go to his house to overnight, especially the time in Stella Maris. Where me, Chong Yi and Eng go ronda around Batu Feringgi and Eng showing off his driving skills, and also the 3 of us going to Mamak, Marry Brown in B.J, going to Gurney, Perrangin Mall and even B.J together. Going to all these places in the last 2weeks of my stay in Penang, practically going around the whole Penang together. They where really too good to me, that they make me feel so bad to be their friend because I don’t really think that I have been so good to them. But all those memories were really very wonderful, that I always miss them and love them so much deep down in my heart. I just pray that our wonderful friendship will stay strong forever and maybe we can even get married together as Tatt suggested, hehehe…….

To Jin and Tatt, remember the Chelsea t-shirt that U all gave me, now it seems a bit small to me already leh. Same thing goes to the Koo-Ka T-shirt that YK gave. These were the only 2 new t-shirts that I brought over and for some reasons now it look smaller on me. However, to YK, Seow Wen and ‘kuang liang’ the scarf that U all gave to me some how matched a jacket that my mum got from Hong Kong and my M’sia, Africa and Russian friends say that the scarf is very nice, so thank U all so very much. Take care everyone and God Bless ;)

Harlo, everyone. This is my second Video Clip. It’s very short and I guess it’ll be that interesting compared to the first one. However, hope U all will enjoy it also. I’m sure my mum will, cause she watched my previous video clip like for 14 times already. So Thank You everyone and God Bless. Love U guys. In the pictures, my whole face is actually red and its covered with ice, I don’t think they are snow. Just have a look lah and U will know ;)

Playing with snow (this was actually last week)

Nothing was lost......

Helllo, to all my friends out there, it has been some time since I last update my blog. For the past 2week I was actually quite down --- missing my family, friends, True Light, BB, Beyond Fellowship, Football Gang etc… Keep praying to God and even made a prayer request in the prayer meeting, at this time I thought about Chong Yi, because back in Penang he will always just pop out at the right moment and give encouragement to me, he is always my personal Angel. Tried calling him a couple of times but cant go through, then the other day I found out for Jun Hao that he changed number pula, he didn’t even tell me.

However, today I was so surprise and overjoyed when I received a phone call from him, sending his regards, love and all that is needed for me to move on. The encouragement that he had given me is really very touching. Not only him but also, Eng, Jin and Joanne. Now, YK is in the same situation as me, but its good cause we still keep in contact with each other.

To all my friends in Penang, in Malaysia or wherever U are. Thanks so much for all the prayers, encouragement and LOVE. I guess I had not lost anything----my friends they are still always there for me, even though far in contact but near in spirit and heart.

Thanks to Jin, C. Yi and YK for your phone calls, it meant a lot to me, that no English or Russia words can ever express. Thank You is all that I can say, take care and God Bless ;)
