Papa's and Son's trip

Last week I went Genting with my dad, yes. Last week, I am slow to update, haha…..It was indeed a fun and enjoyable Papa and Son trip. During our 2days 1 night stay there, everything was practically free, haha….Thanks to Genting’s World Card. We enjoyed a deluxe room (Rm286), 2 adult buffet lunch (Rm50++ for me and Rm40++ for my dad), 2 ticket to watch the show Dreamz (Rm130 each), and also shopping for goodies (Rm30 sth) all free, best leh??? Haha……for the very first time I feel that points redeem card are so useful. But actually a few things we given free is because there were vouchers given to my dad in conjunction with his birthday. Going to genting was relaxing, at least I could avoid the heat for 2days. Till now, Take Care everybody. Evan is coming back tomorrow. Yeepy!!!



*I just noticed that I haven’t update the pictures in my Friendster for about a year d, hehe….sorry guys ;)

"Reporting in"

Well, I have been in penang for almost a week d. And there are some things that I had found out over the 2years I got back -------- sometimes I get very sien. Every time I come back I see things and people around me changing, warm relationships being frozen by Russia’s winter, and yes I do get frustrated, it’s like trying to build all over a new relationship, but thanks be to God, this is not the case with every friend, abo I can die loh. So, just please keep me in prayers, that I wouldn’t become so frustrated until one year I don’t wanna come back M’sia at all, hehe….
Besides that, I feel like I’m a nomad, in the constant moving from one place to the other, can’t really settle down in a certain place. After 4more years of my studies in Russia, I still got another 5more years with the government, that got to see where I’m being posted pulak, haha….May God be with me la, as He is always

Back HoMe ;)

Hi everybody,
It has been 3 days since I got back to Penang. How am I??? Well…there are encouragements and disappointmentSsS as well. I’m and still always very glad full for how my parents have been to me, they are the best that can’t never be replace or even ask for more. Besides being very busy with life and work, they still spent their precious sleeping time to bring me around and especially to EAT, yum..yum….

Friends wise, well….I specially want to thank Jin, he has been the best and most supportive to me and my siblings as well. We are actually 5 years different in age, but some how we still get very close to each other and of course get along very well. To share with you all, when I first knew him in the Boys Brigade, I didn’t kinda like him, I don’t know whether he had any grudge at me at that time, but I certainly do have. But thanks be to God, as time goes by we built up a good relationship and understanding among each other. He is the one that would always take the initiative to do some group activities or always encourage us to be together, maintaining the bond of love between us as friends.

Sad news that I received after coming back is about a friend of mine, he had left church, not attending any church at the moment and had been like this for a certain of time. Oh men…..the cut that went through my heart was so ache, I ask myself ---- What happen??? Was it my mistake in the beginning, how I lead the youth fellowship 5years back. Had stressed too much on fellowship that the foundation and trust in God wasn’t firm and it now all turned to sand by the shore. As I was telling my parents, tears just quietly fill up my eyes. I thank God that the love and friendship between us is still there, they all still remember me and came to have supper with me on the day I got back. But now, we are actually in 3 groups. 1 still in the same church, the other in a different church and the other that don’t go church at all, where is the group that used to go church together on Sat and Sun, go BB after that and football in the evening??? Where??? Can anybody please tell me, pls !!!!!

I miss those days, were we had a common place that we can meet each other. May God Bless Me, U and Beyond fellowship. The fellowship that I grew up in and was given the chance to learn and to prepare for who I am today. I love this fellowship and of course the people that were once in it. Help me Lord Jesus, help US and the fellowship you once called into, fill up our empty cups and spirit once again that we can be revived and know that you are OUR God and OUR one…one….and only HOPE. Amen

Harlo…..Well, recently I’m doing very well and of course I’m looking forward at my return back to M’sia. Do you know how long more until I get back?? Less then a month only leh, it’s only 3weeks that I get my butt back to Penang and start to stuff my stomach with food…food and food….Weepy!!!! This thought is just so refreshing and regenerating to me, hahaha…..

I am having my final semester exam on the 14th and 21st of this month then will be taking a 16 hr bus journey to Moscow on the 23th, a flight on the 24th and I’ll arrive Penang on the 25th 0930, isn’t that great??? I plan to go to jelutong market on that morning to have branch with my parents and meet up with friends at CDK’s famous ‘dai lok mee’ at 9pm for supper, and of course to get back Rm5 from Jin,haha…..Jin owed me Rm25 before I left for my studies and he promised to return me Rm5 every year I come back. So last year he was very punctual, he came to my house in the middle of the night last year at the day I returned just to say hi and give me back my Rm5 without me reminding him, haha….He actually remembered.

This week I wore 2 news shirts. One given to me by Cecilia during Christmas and one by Shaun during CNY but I only wore it recently as the weather not so cool already so can start to wear a bit lighter. So as I wore them, WOW the smell of the new shirts just reminded me about CNY, a long lost feeling that I always love and enjoyed, so much more then my own B’day leh.

Have I plans for the summer??? Of course I have lah, a lot of them involving The GideonKnights, my parents, my family and my wonderful wonderful friends. To all my friends, just try to be good to me har….And accompany me in doing funny funny stupid things lah, things like these are just annually nia, not always de leh, so give me face,k??? If malu, we malu together lah, haha…..God Bless and Take care ;)




*and yes eelui, you get to order, but that is provided that i c you for supper.Haha...cya GBU ;) *

It's spring time, the river back there is Volga River, we crossed over for picnic, it was really fun ;)



Thank God…..I’m just very happy and thankful to God cause this year I can go back around 3-4 weeks earlier compared to last year, hahaha……This year my exam finishes on the 21st of June compared to last year on the 10th of July, so certainly I will be going back asap, for what I want to stay in Russia longer, haha….So my flight will be leaving from Moscow Airport at 11am in the morning and should arrive Penang the next day, but I don’t know the time, haven’t check out yet, haha…..I wouldn’t be stopping by in Singapore as expected because if I do so my air-ticket will be forfeited. Never mind, I will stay make a trip down to Singapore to visit my sis and Sing Hiding Place. I just can’t believe how time flies, I’ll be back in Penang in less than 2months. Wow…..this is really fast and near. So, till now just continue to keep each other in prayers and updates. Will be seeing you, you and you soon. Take care and God Bless, with much love, Ivan ;)

wrote this 2 days ago, now all history the and im back on my feet AGAIN ;)

“Can’t believe that I’m a fool again” know this song???? Well….the only different in my case is that this has nothing to do with love, but just me always been a stupid fool for no reason, stupid….stupid…stupid….Hahaha…..imagining someone I know that always talk in this way. I wrote a reminder in my hand phone, just want to remind myself of not being a stupid fool again.

I ask myself, am I so stupid that I always find myself in the losing side and jeopardizing myself and stirring up my whole body chemistry upside down, in and out. Why???? Why?? Why??? I just pray that God will send me angels to lift up the burden on me now, I don’t want this feeling. I also ask myself, am I quenching the Holy Spirit in me??? Causing myself to be in this situation. Oh….Help me Lord Holy Spirit, to face whatever withstand in front of me that I can be the man God wants me to be, this is my prayer for myself. I had enough, I don’t want to be a clown anymore, I want to be filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so overwhelming that I will have sweet dreams every night and even laugh to myself when I am waiting for the bus or even smiling at the birds that are flying over the sky singing melodies to me early in the morning as I start my day with a good walk down to the bus stop(that’s if I’m not rushing, hehehe….).

Looking at my hand phone I really don’t know who to call or sms. At this time, someone came into my mind – Kelvin. I remember that he said he will always be there and will always answer my call, he even gave me Rm50 and said that this money is for me to buy call card to talk with him, should I call him now??/ (Malaysian time 6.18am).Hmmm…..Yes, I think I’ll call him later after I do my devotion.

Pray for me that I can stand and act strong in the will of God – not looking to left and right but just focusing on God as I ran this race. Suddenly, I thought of my purpose in Russia. The calling that I had in my 1st year, that is to be a missionary in disguise. I am here to experience the guidance of God but not to live my life according to my own will.

I guess this experience reminded me to stay in the light and path of the Holy Spirit. To trust in Him and live a life that Glorifies God and I mean really Glorifying Him. Bless me with determination, perseverance and strength Lord, in the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
