Enough
I'm looking forward to the 22nd of February. Why? Because it is the first and last day of my exams, which also means I'll be graduating in afew weeks time. Of Course I do have some memories to hold on to, but for studies wise, I want to take a break. I'm not going to study anymore until I regain my interest in studying.
Chinese New Year this year was a so-so for me. I enjoyed the foods served at different homes. And the basketball and badminton sessions with my cousins were so fun.
I'm so proud of my lecturers. They kept postponing the ND quiz. This is the 2nd time in the entire poly life that they treated us well. Maybe because we are in our last year, so they feel the need to give in to us. We even wrote a petition to postpone the major project deadline. =)

Liberty
My mind was not in a whirlpool of pandemonium or something like that, but somehow, I felt the need to go to church for a time of solitude. Headed down together with Ruth and to set aside a day with God and for God. Tired- strickened, having to wake up early was a real challenge at the start of the day. In addition, I did not plan beforehand the things which I wanted God to reveal to me during the time with Him. So there was I, a person without expectation, going into the 'quarantine' room alone. Before I started session 1, I feared that I would not be able to sustain for more than an hour, givng credit to the fact that I'm the type of person who gets bored easily. Well, what comforted me so much during the introductory part was the phrase that illustrates about how God chose that particular day to come and minister to me. Yes me. I felt so lifted, so love by Him. In the past, I would just believe that God loves me, and I'll try to kind of psycho myself to believe in this fact that was to me, impossible. But as I was doing session 1 on God's love, all I could feel was God's presence that was so close to me. This next sentence strucked me terribly hard. "Rejoice that you are what you are; for our Lord loves you very dearly. He loves the whole of you, just as you are." I was also thankful that I was able to relate one of my bitter friendship experience with Aunty Muifong. And what amazed me was that both of us were in the same boat before. I have learnt that peace does not merely come from frienship, studies or even career, but our peace ought to be centered and grounded on God. All I could say is that it was really God's timing.
Studied together with Jean for awhile after church, but ended up talking. I'm thankful for this sister that God has provided. I'm thankful for the certain level of trust God has placed in the both of us. Then there was I, together with people like ting, will, evan, edwin, yingci, joel, amy and ryan at the NUS concert. A well- writtened script, embedded with lots of joy, laughter and humour.

Set free
I like the rain. How I wish the rain will not stop but continue to at least flood to my knee level. It would be quite an experience and am waiting for that day to come. I have difficulties understanding medical nutrition therapy for renal disorder and I'm hoping that an angel would just come down from somewhere, perhaps outerspace, to help me with my work. Before heading down to the NKF centre for my the fieldtrip today, I had brunch with Sharon, lizheng, junhui and fengchai. We made lots of noise as usual and took lots of photos at Mac. We just love to pose and pose and pose. And someone just commented that I look nice when I take photos standing at the right side. Well, I'm set to stand on the right side all my life now when it comes to taking of photos :) I felt quite enthusiastic when I stepped into the NKF centre but after standing still and listening to the doctor talk for an hour plus, I felt uneasy. The place was not well ventilated to the point where I felt like fainting. Was supposed to go to Mustafa to change something for my lab lesson, but headed home otherwise as I was not in the mood to go anywhere. The rain just makes me lazy.
I'm glad that we still keep in contact even after my Student Internship Programme. I'm glad that you were able to tolerate with all my nonsence despite the fact that I did those things on purpose and you so gracefully accept all those abuse. I'm sorry and thank you once again:)
I can't stop to marvel at this beatiful analogy. Last sunday's speaker talked about how bad it would be if sunshine is to be experience everyday. The land would one day be a desert. So, sometimes, God would supply the land with rain so that plants don't get withered, and the lands dried up. And he related this analogy to our lives. In life, it is not always smooth going. Let's accept the fact that we will not always get to experience 'sunshine' days. God allows storms in our lives for one particular reason, and that is to make us blossom, so that our lives would not be dried up, stormy, but rather well- nourished.
Jean and I are planning to go to Canada in December to visit Ruth. Hoping that Aunty Muifong and Ting will come along too. And there will be, in Canada doing street evangelising, shopping, food, and have a well spent white christmas over there. Am thinking too far, but I'm so excited and energised.

This will be my theme verse
Psalms 37:4
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will grant you the desires of your heart."
I would summed up year 2005 as a year of great testings. If I were to view it at a different angle, these so- called testings has turned out to be a journey of character moulding, and I thank God for that. Reflecting back, I still believe in one true thing...That God has been faithful and will still be. I got back most of my term test papers afew days back, and I'm glad. Thanks to the one up there.
