ПРИВЕТ, Я ФЕРДИ ! HALO, SAYA FERDI #1

Assalamualaikum wr wb ))
*in Russia "))" meaning smile like ":)"

 it was 26 of October 2016 when for the first time I left my sweet home for study in Russia. Seriously Russia?!But why Russia?! yes you’re not in misreading. Here is about my daily activity in Russia as a Moeslem, student and settled foreigner for 5 years (running 2 years from right now). But firstly all of what i write its going to be my own insight  based  on my experience

Slightly long to remember my full name. My full name is Ferdiansah Yusuf Prastio wich is Prastio is my family name. FI, when i came to  Russia, they wrote became Prastio Ferdiansah Yusuf (Прастио Фердианшах Юсуф) where they put the family name in front. Unlike some eastern cultures, western cultures typically use the First name, Middle name or initial, Surname/Family name format. Other example, In Indonesia a girl has name Erisma Mega Sari, when she comes to Russia someday, its become Sari Mega Erisma. But no worries if somebody has no family name, however they may be exemption

But Russian people and international students call me Yusuf, at the first met, I would say “ Privet, my name is Yusuf” then shortly after,Yusuf as my name spreads by itself. I have some reasons why Im introduct my name as Yusuf., the important point is that is my identity as a Moeslem. This is a form of my gratitude as a moeslem, and have to remember, Moeslim in Russian still infrequently

I was born in Singosari, Malang , East Java- Indonesia 15 of March 1998. However not a lot of my childhood story I remember,I will skip it ! #peace out. I grew up in harmonious family and alhamdoulillah  so perfect to me. My Father is my hero! And  my Mom is wonder woman. They embed me values of Islam since I still baby. This is the important one where I have to transmit it to my son someday امين...

Back to story

At the beginning, my brother Wibisono Y.P has introduced his foreigner friends to me. it was in August 2015. They are Melanie kook and Jeane Brokoest. they are Dutchgirl. They  both have research in Brawijaya university in major Animal husbandry  for 3 months and by a chance Wibi still an active alumni in animal husbandry as well. Concise story, Wibi invited them to home and I would like to introduce myself but English language was distract me. Wibi knows , I have no idea with English language and delibelatery he leaving me alone to talk with them.

this is Jeane and me, we went to the beach in Malang city

and she is Melanie kook !

By the time, i had some chance hang out with them for 3 months I spoke little in English ( even today!haha). somehow, I had been ambition to study abroad where I can speak English everyday

Since that, I keen to looking for keyword “ scholarship” by google. Not only for 3 -7 times. But everyday for 5 months. While I started to reading sites in English language. I found dozen of scholarship but the requirements are suck,sometime I curse easily :D . I always felt my English already enough to abroad, but I swear its far from what I expected, I still don’t know anything about  the language and what the scholarship examer wanted
