today have been a rather emo day... have been feeling up and down past few days... more down den up cos of this blasted cold and sore i got on my lip... was being miserable about life and looking at all my shortcomings as a person... wallowing in self pity like a hippo wallowing in mud on a hot day... that's me... then, i got out of that phase... was feeling mildly better, still kinda out wif God... caused i can't justify myself being so 'watever' and don't care... and don't know what to say to God... i know i am in the wrong... sounds kinda lame right? as if i didn't know i was wrong before i behaved badly... this is a few days ago...

went to church this morning, had a very fitful sleep... felt bit off during worship but decided i shall put my heart into it, and it was a great time of worship, it really amde the diffference... i was a watering pot... and God's good timing ,worship was longer today and being in God's presence and feeling crappy bout myself, everything just broke my flood gates.... not that i really cried like until like someone died liddat, but well... i'd make quite a good watering pot... and after that i felt a lot better... life felt a lot easier to bear, it's was alrite being sick, i will get better, all my shortcomings, God is working on them... i am not perfecct but i am not a loser as well... i m determined God wants me to live a victorious life so i m not gonna behave like some loser... or as if i've already lost... letting circumstances get the better of me... I REFUSE TO BE A LOSER!!!!

prev called and asked if i wanted to go to the beach... went back, pondered a bit, everyone else at hostel not going ,should i go? decided.... why the heck not? just cause others not going...it's a bright, sunny day! there's no point cooping myself inside to grow mould.... go out there and get some sun... so put on my beach shorts... bright orange wid white flowers... red nike cap, spaghetti tank top, some sunscreen and off i went to the beach, hehe... i even got a few honks when i was standing on the roadside and one my korean hostel mates looked at me twice.... o well, maybe i siok sendiri, don't care either way... i looked good, felt good, i m going out...to the beach!!! la la la...

the beach was awesome! 28 degrees... sun up in the sky, having a picnic... eating "onde-onde''... happiness... it's very hard to find "onde-onde" in Adelaide, mind you... and Koghini's are pretty good... played football, monkey(haha... didn't become the monkey at all altho SOME ppl tried to kenakan me), galah panjang which was dem funny, cos i always kena touched... but i always touch people as well...so same same la... and the sea water was so nice, it was really cold though, too bad i didn't bring a change of clothes or i would have gone swimming.... just didn't fancy the idea of having to go back with wet undies and sand... you get the idea, the water is ice cold by the way... but in warm weather...cold water is really inviting...and it's clear....and aparently jelly-fish-less... so what else could be better? posing with priya like we are pantene girls with my hair blown by the wind.... super siok sendiri but what the heck... it was fun! eating kettle chips... lying on my back n enjoying the sun.... life was near perfect. and we had very good chocolate cake too... and i had ice cream!!! mua ha ha ha...

was happy... came back... okie, my lip hurt cos i wasn't suppose to expose it to sun... well, i was happy altho i didn't get that much of a tan... my skin just don't absorbed the sun like it used to... my face turned a bit darker but not obvious as well...

then i checked my mail box, got a very surprising email and it's something BIG...something that would require me to take a BIG step of faith... and i have yet to decide whether i am up for it... please pray for me... general idea, to make the correct decision and follow God whichever way He wants me to go...

and just now... had another watering pot session... man, this sprinkler system is just working too well... anyway, was stressed out bout certain issues with someone dear to my heart... sorta worked it out... not entirely... but trusting God will deal with it somehow...

now my throat is itchy... how wonderful...hehe, i am alrite... bacteria!!! you not gonna get me down....ggggggGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

a little bit of humour...

Tiger Woods For A Day ...

There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he could get, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was an obsession. One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just right.

The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do, and shortly, the urge to play golf overcame him. He called an assistant to tell him that he was sick and could not do church, packed the car up, and drove three hours to a golf course where no one would recognize him. Happily, he began to play the course.

An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to God and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing."

God nodded in agreement. The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at the ball, and it sailed effortlessly through the air and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty yards away. A picture perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited.

The angel was a little shocked. He turned to God and said, "Begging Your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish him?"

God smiled. "Think about it -- who can he tell?"

thanks to those who called and msged and made and effort to sayang me... thanks for caring even though i probably didn't feel like talking much.... sniff sniff... i m touched you guys bothered... i was being such a gwamps... something along the lines of... everybadi hates me, i hate myself, i shall go eat worms... not tat i m really going to do dat... jus too gross.... those "ngiao ngiao-ey" creatures.... yukkiness... cockroach invasion cleared i hope... killed another 2 yesterday....

feelin a mite better... =)

p.s: my phone no credit so can't reply msg es...

someone who is feeling sick, miserable, gwampie... wallowing in self pity... feeling rather negatively bout life cause of some stupid bacteria and virus infection... :...(

tewwible me...

actually i felt like blogging bout an hour ago... but when i am finally looking at this page... i don't particularly feel like it... man, i m fickle, this is tewwible.... as usual, lack of perseverance... and the "want to blog" feeling has passed... and it will return again... esp when the net is not working... which is jus annoying...

when i was napping just now... was just thinking bout a few things... last night i had a very scary dream... i dreamt i witnessed a murder, this lady just shot her father in the back somewhere near a swimming pool and somehow it had something to do with a piece of butter and that's the evidence that she did it... so she was thinking where to hide the butter and somehow in my mind, i came up with the idea of melting it... sigh... what am i doing "helping" a murderer hide evidence and of all things a piece of butter? but the dream was quite scary...it was very real.. and i could remember details... the lady had long hair, she's quite tanned, and her father was quite fat... very actually...can see the layers of fat.... waaaaaaaa..... man, i should use my brain space more constructively...

anyways this isn't what i wanted to blog about... i was just thinking of agoraphobia... that's social phobia although the definition is way more complicated than that... and i was analyzing myself... i know i do have some of it to some extend... although i think it's pretty normal to have it now and then as long as it's not causing my life to be dysfunctional... sometimes i just really feel like "mengabaikan diri" cos i don't feel like facing the world... or more like the demands of the world on me... like smiling or talking to people when i totally don't feel like it and having to force myself cause i don't wanna be rude or mean.... this doesn't happen all the time. generally, i m quite sociable....depending on my mood... some times, i just don't feel like talking to people up to the extend, i don't feel like lugging myself up from bed at 7 am in the morning, catch bus to go hospital or see patients who don't wish to be bugged by med students anyway... and it goes in a cycle.... but lately i haven't been feeling like that at all.... hehe, and a lot of it i think has to do with the environment i am in as well...

well, call me easily influenced by circumstances... but i am enjoying my spinal rotation, it's quite slack although there's 8 clock ward rounds every morning... the docs bring us students for coffee, they are quite jolly, they tell funny jokes, one of the fellows is frm UK, he practises his glares (learnt that frm my 5th yr) on us, my 5th year is lovely... dat's an aussie term... wonderful, brilliant, wicked... really inspired by her, she's such a nice person... really... i mean she's not perfect... but she makes an effort to be helpful... to be nice to people, small lil things... more than the big things... that makes a difference... she stopped to help this old couple find the their way, they didn't even asked, she figured they looked lost and stopped and asked them... she puts up the X rays before the doc even ask her to, offers to see patients... we practised OSCE stuff together... and being with her jus inspire me to be make more of an effort, to be more helpful... somehow...

a few conclusions... it is important to place/position myself in a inspiring enviroment... people who will inspire me and help me grow... and hopefully one day i shall be an inspiring person as well... well, need to be inspired before i can go out there to inspire others...

enviromental factors can do a lot to kill off the "spirit" in me... the people, the way they behave... time, hospital, friends... can all influence me in a very bad way if i m not careful...

one person can make all the difference in the lives of people around them... i shall aspire to be an inspiring person... and a person can change the environment he/she is in but choosing to be positive and helpful....

anyways, George (that's my 5th yr...her name's actually Georgina-famous five, people?) thanks for being an inspiration... really enjoyed doing this MSA with you... you made all the difference
( it might have been totally boring otherwise)... Continue to shine brightly~! Thanks for everything...*hugs*

       Squirrels in Church!

      A small town had only three Churches in it but they all
  suffered with the same problem.  You see, all three had a
  serious problem with squirrels getting into the Church.

      Now each Church, in its own fashion, had a meeting to
  deal with the problem.

      The first Church congregation decided that it was
  predestined that the squirrels be in the Church, and that
  they would just have to live with them.

      The Second Church decided they should deal with the
  squirrels lovingly . So they humanely trapped them and
  released them in a park at the edge of town.  However within
  3 days, they had all returned and were all back in the church.

      The Third Church came up with the best solution. They
  voted the squirrels in as members.  Now they only see them
  at Christmas and Easter.

      The moral of the story is: Don't be a squirrel, attend your
  Church regularly!
