Russian class....

I never expected this in my life at all! Learning a new language, and is was Russian. As in my previous post, now I have to learn how to read, write and speak Russian language in 90 hours.

WOW!

But I really managed to at least get some of the words right by the first week already. I really have to thank my lecturer, Miss.Victoria, who really pushed to learn the language. My classmates were also very supporting to me and we helped each other very much. Here is the whole gang.....

Same passion, new destination......

I have been posting a few post about my future plans which was to complete my degree in Indonesia and hence fulfill my ambition. But, there was something else that God has already preplanned for me ahead. After completing my entrance exam for University Sumatera Utara (USU), I was eagerly waiting for my results as I know that I had performed well. Then one Friday, I received a call (July 3rd) from Indonesia telling that my seat is not confirmed. My agent have been telling me since December after my SAM results that my seat is confirmed as my results were pleasing and I already got my Non-Objection Certificate (NOC- A letter from Ministry of Higher Education). His justification was that because of the recent Indonesian maid issue, the Indon government was reducing the seats for all Malaysian students, and one of it affected was me.

I really couldnt accept the fact at that moment as I was preparing myself almost in all situations about going to USU. Immediately on that day itself my father begin to search more information on Russian Universities as the next most best option. I was really discouraged at that moment. My father really made fast decision. Immediately the next day, my father contacted some of my fathers friends children who are in Russia and then went to their house and collect some information about studying in Russia. One of my cousin sister, is also studying in Russia. She really convinced us on going to Russia. I was still not in a good mood and was still puzzled.

But then , on the next Monday my father planned to meet the agent who is stationed in Penang. Monday morning at 11.30 am we took the bus to Penang and then met Mr. Ng the program coordinator for Russian Resources (the agent) gave more explanation and we decided to go to Volgograd. This is where my cousin sister is studying too. I was told that there is a compulsory Russian language class that just begin ed that Monday. I was really lucky enough to get into the class and fit in as I missed that first day of class. The university that now I am going to is to Volgograd State Medical University (VSMU). After going to classes and talking to many other, now I realize that God gives us the best and he will never let us down. Now I feel more confident and happy of to where that I am going to go. THANK YOU JESUS!
