My Labour Day







Well,today is public holiday in russia , we’re all celebrating this big events-Labour day on the Red square of Kursk, which is capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people in the open space. I was too lazy to get up early in the morning and trying to sleep back when the dean hostel came to wake me and the others. We all gathered at the lobby of our hostel and it took about 20 mins to walk to our university. Many different flags representing their own country in the entrance of our university, but geography wasn’t my best subject, I couldn’t recognise them! Haha! After waiting for 20 mins, we started moving to the street into the team. The weather was superb nice^^ I thought this labour day would be very boring one but it’s not at all! We could see people from all over the world participated in the marching for this great event! There were marching band, soldiers, students etc in the marching team. We marched around 25mins to reach the Red square.. Then, it was 1st the opening ceremony followed by marching band performance, releasing thousands of balloons and russian performance.. Besides there was street performance by Russian.. it was fun XD..

after that we went to the food stall nearby . There was a park and funfair. I ate the lavash pork with tomato sauce and cotton candy… it’s so nice !! and because of the spring season here, I was able to see the red and yellow tulips near the park.. they have a short blooming period..

  After visiting the Red square, we went for shopping at puskinski and I bought a new adidas bag in the adidas shop.. it costs about rm 190.. but I like the bag very much because it was my 1st adidas bag.

After shopping, we organised a small BBQ party with our seniors at their house, which is 3-4mins drive from our hostel. We BBQ outside the apartment and unfortunately we were unable to finish all the things we
bought because the sky was so dark that we couldn’t see anything.. so we moved all the things back to the apartment and cooked them under the stove.. haha! But it’s indeed my wonderful day here in kursk..


Squeeze out some time for yourself to relax your mind during the exam week.. sometime it would be good to let go of yourself for awhile … it help in refreshing mind ^^

A beautiful Spring





Hii everyone, how has life been treating you? I guess you guys are very busy with the final exam and so am I.. I’ve been busy preparing for the never-ending class-test of all subjects since the starting of the 2nd sem . The 2nd sem schedule is too compact!! Every day we shall study many different topics for different subjects and sometimes, you’d be able to finish them on time, but most of the time you can’t ! Owing to the lack of time for preparation, some of them skip the class. Sometimes you couldn’t get up early and missed the class. But, the saddest thing is, you need to come up to the lecturer and repeat the missed class because the attendance is compulsory and none of us can make excuse from attending class. Everyday our class finished quite late and it would be 9-10pm by the time I finished my cooking and showering..So sometimes I skip my dinner and maggie could be my best friend in that situation.. ^^

Now my final exam is coming up very soon!! I’m so nervous that I can’t do well in the exam because it covers all chapters we have studied before and it would have oral test for some subjects like latin.. omg!! I hate Latin (latinophobia) hahha!! Probably because of that latin teacher, without which I’ll be so relieved…. But anyway, I still have to sit for the latin final .. :( today my class finished quite early and I’m having 1 day holiday for the labour day so I have time to write on the blog... it’s a quite boring life here in kursk and every day I repeat doing the same thing. Usually I sleep quite late and I always feel sleepy during the lecture… sometimes go to the market or supermarket to buy some stuff for cooking .. it reminds me of the Russian class that all of us have to write Russian essay about my free time etc.. Russian is very confusing especially when it comes to cases of changing the ending..

Tomorrow we be going out for shopping and I wanna to buy a new bag for myself because my old bag is terribly damaged… lolz. Gonna spend lots of money again.. here the stuff are quite expensive.. 2 days ago I went for a prayer walk with my cell-group friends.. we prayed for the unity of all the churches, for the hormony among the Russian, for the church leaders and everything could be run smoothly and successfully.. Thanks to the mighty Lord of his great creation from which I found that kursk was indeed a beautiful city.. I like the spring season very much which is not so cold like winter time. It took about 20mins for us to walk to the Kursk gates, I could see people were chatting around, playing kite, cycling, playing games with the children so on .. Home sweet home – was appeared in my mind at that moment.

Anyway, it left 2 months before going back to Malaysia.. wow! I think I will bring lots of stuff along .. Wishing you guys who are busy with exams, all the best, and take better care.. remember to pray before exam, pray for everything that goes well as we are facing new challenges in every second of our life, pray to get stronger and to become a better you!
