"God, why did you let this happen to me"? Or," God, why won't you just..... (fill in the blank - help me succeed, get my kids to straighten out, fix my marriage - you know what you've been whining about). But to enter into a journey of initiation with God requires a new set of questions. What are you trying to teach me here? What issues in my heart are you trying to raise through this? What is it you want to see? What are you asking me to let go of? In truth, God has been trying to initiate you for a long time. What is in the way is how you've mishandled your wound and the life you've constructed as a result.

okay so the last week of the hols has officially passed, spent fruitfully!!! praise jesus! catching up with alot of beloveds, driving lessons, NUS Rag, spending time with my very awesome OG (: etc etc and oh, i played lan for the very first time last night and i really enjoyed myself! it was really cool, L4D's really fun when you play in teams with your friends! haha. played touch rug for the first time too and been enduring the terrible aches everywhere. but no doubt its been a whole, other level of relaxation for me, considering how the past 6 months of hols were spent working/earning cash hahaha (:

praise jesus!!! i can only say that time in the hols has been supernaturaly multiplied and made fruitful. (: its not just the friends-making, the fun and relaxation, the bonding, or the caught-up sleep, or the unexplainable doors of opportunities which opened miraculously, its the whole journey which palpably, upon standing between the doors of a new ending and a fresh beginning and looking back, swallows myself up with this single thought - God, you were definitely in charge of the 8 months of holidays! "He who began a good work in you will complete it." - Philippians 1:6

I still remember the turning point when I decided to make Medicine my pursuit instead of Economics/International Relations, which was what I had spent the past 3 months before A levels thinking I'd end up doing in univeristy. Writing Personal statements after essays on my supposed passion for these subjects had literally brainwashed me into thinking I'd be happy doing that - how foolish I was. "The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps." Then came the mission trip to Chiangmai, the pivotal talks with ZJ during the trip about the un-glamorous sides of scholarships and also with pretty much many many other strategically positioned people in my life which totally saw my decision taking a 360 degree, abrupt switch- the many doctors I encountered over the past few months, various seniors (Suatlay esp!!! eternally grateful), then came the ever-cruicial job at the clinic which entirely shaped my perspective and inspiration to do med, the research internship at Astar, wonderful bosses and colleagues streams of godly counsel, advice and encouragement, my Mum who had always wanted me to do med but i had flatly told her a straight No at first, my Dad who never fails to cheer me up with his lameness and idiosyncratic jokes. No doubt, it's been a journey unforgettable, one i'll always cherish deep inside.


if there's one thing, i've come to fully internalise, it's the unfailing, unconquerable presence and love of my Father. In the darkest of storms, who else can you turn to

Okay work at the paedetrician's clinic has been really interesting - playing with toddlers and young children is an entirely different sort of skill AND art to master (Thank God for rotating fishing games which are bound to captivate their attention!), blowing countless bubbles to calm the distressed child after his vaccination only to amazingly witness them transform from all-tears to all-shrieks and high-pitched laughter, initially getting confused by the variety of colourful syringes, using all sorts of weird baby coo-ing and rattling noises which miraculously and instantly stops them from crying, handling fidgety and hyper-active babies and surviving their drool, seeing how challenging it can get pacifying not only the toddlers but their mothers....

...so as homework, (getting into med school mode :O already) im looking at the child immunisations schedules now, trying to figure out the exact vaccinations needed at which months of the child's growth, so that i can duly report back to the doctor on saturday. (:

It is fascinating work mmmm

am currently super excited!!!!! about the upcoming med events! hahaha yay i can finally go for my first full med event with the rest of the med faculty(: having heard about how fun medicamp was, im sure 2 and 3 aug will be equally awesome too Hehe. OG outing, sleepover at NUS itself, and flag!(: sounds exciting!

JIAYOU CHENCHIUS for rag dance (:

looking forward to driving lesson tmr. its only my second and im really enjoying it. realised how important judgement is for steering your car, and i have to learn not to glare so much at the speedometer but use my sense of instinct when turning esp haha. its fun!(:

okay i can't believe its the last week before school week zero starts! gotta cherish it really well (:

"Sometimes we waste our words and we waste our moments, and we don’t take the time to say the things that are in our hearts when we have the chance." - Clay Evans

i love driving!!!

though i can't get the hang of turning yet D:

I'm back from Sydney and hillsong conference, and I dearly miss all my six other lovely girls and three guys (: (: HAVE FUN IN MELBOURNE!!!!

Conference was awesome, really. It's indescribable. (: Thank you God, you answered and exceeded all the expectations I laid out for the trip. Wow. Together with spirit-filled sharing and fellowship, eating our hearts out through the countless kebabs, pizzas and home-made sandwiches, the awesome Monopoly Deal game, spiritual growth and renewed energy, this trip has been so memorable and special to me. My heart yearns for the next moment I get to do snuggle up and read my Bible and do my quiet time. But hey, it occurs to me. Why not make every day a God-prioritised moment? Fill your minds with His thoughts of me. Fill your capacity with His unconditional, unconquerable love. Let yourself come under His grace from head to toe - How amazing is our God!

Thought of the Day: Supernatural Inheritance
April 20th, 2010

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. (Ephesians 1:18)

You want the inheritance of your earthly father to pass on to you. So, why should you sit there and be in need when your heavenly Father has left you everything? Your Father is rich, and He left everything to you. However, you will not get your inheritance until you ask for it. Demand what your Father left you. That degree, that promotion, that financial breakthrough has your name on it!

The power to get wealth is in your tongue. You shall have whatever you say. If you keep sitting around murmuring, groaning, and complaining, you use your tongue against yourself. Open your mouth and speak something good about yourself. Speak deliverance and power. You are not defeated.

When you start speaking correctly, God will give you what you say. Say what you want. God willed you something. Your Father left you an inheritance!

Conference was a happy spiritual feeding encounter (: I've fed myself happy!!!
