Hi fellow swappers! It is a pleasure to meet you,and as I am a complete newbie, I am very eager to learn new stuffs on how to make full use of this social site. I REALLY hope that I can make friends - that's my most important mission here.

I come from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but am currently undergoing my undergraduate medical studies in Moscow,Russia. Being away from home in an absolutely different country with distinctively different culture and language, I am very used to mix with people of different ethnic,cultural and geographical backgrounds. I love meeting new people, having great conversations and hanging out with them,if there is any chance. Believe me, I won't ignore your message,so write to me, I will definitely answer you! and do not be shy!!

Feel free to add me on facebook, my facebook name is Ilyas Abdul Rahim. But don't expect that I use my facebook regularly, I prefer VK (www.VK.com), a Russian social site,much like facebook.

I love folk songs so much, besides pop and wide array of music genres. I can't really specify because I am a universal listener...I can listen to any song that sounds good to me,regardless of artist or composer. But here are the singers/bands that I particularly like:

Westlife - Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Siti Nurhaliza (from Malaysia) - Dewa 19 - Ratu (and some other Indonesian bands like Ungu etc) - Yulia Savicheva - Maksim (Russian singers).

I love reading best-selling novels written by famous authors like Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code,Angels & Demons,the Lost Symbol...etc...I actually read ALL of them),Sidney Sheldon, Stephenie Meyer (Twilight saga) and a gifted Malaysian writer, Faisal Tehrani.

History,medic and linguistic (more specifically,the Russian and German languages) books are also of my interest. I am currently learning German and a TeachYourselfBook German book+CD set really helps.

Keychains,fridge magnets (ESPECIALLY those made from ceramic),postcards and even T-shirts from around the world, with significant designation of the particular country, are really appreciated. Whenever I travel abroad, I always find these stuffs for myself,family and friends.

Some cool and unique souvenirs like soft toys can be nice,too.

1) Snail Mail Penfriend #3: Deadline 27.9.09 (or US style, 9.27.09) - DONE Letters sent to: - Leann Francis, IN, US -Sue Burkitt, IN, US -Tiffany Robinson OK, USA

And I am expecting 2 more letters from each of my remaining senders, I won't mention their names though, but I am really looking forward to receiving them! (as I told you, this is my first time swapping!)

Thanks to: 1) Nicole and Jason for their lovely letter from Oakland,CA!! received on 20.09.2009 (That's 09.20.2009 the American way)

I LOVE movies that are based on my favourite novels and thrillers, like Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code & Angels and demons, and Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" and the upcoming "New Moon"!!!!

Anything by Disney like Enchanted and Bedtime Stories, just to name a few.

and lots more...
