i could sing of your LOVE forever

so life's been good, GOD has been good, amazingly, wonderfully mercifully good to me. i am blessed beyond my wildest dreams and beyond my most earnest prayers. so i love my job. i love my colleagues. i am loving the singapore experience (well, discounting being sandwiched in the mrt everyday with pushy aunties. my ability to shoot dirty looks is now so well-honed i think it can actually, very probably kill someone one day).

also, i am loving my newfound Hokkien powers of conversation. what could have been the worst day with 3 non-english speaking patients turned out to be the BEST day. such satisfaction being liberated from the fear of being unable to communicate.

so yeah, life's good. life's a peach. life's a bag of goodies everyday, its schweeet! GOD is amazing is he not? HE turns fears and apprehensions into blessings.

so i know i sound like i'm on moonshine but it really is the happy juice born of gratefulness to GOD. I am blessed by my Father above. apologies in advance for turning into one of those irrepressibly cheerful irritants.

eight

Only 8 more days till permanent freedom from studenthood. I must say I will miss it, but then again, I won't. not the late nights, the working on placements then coming home to work on assignments. nope! soon i will be working and studying but getting PAID for it. hurrah!

8 more days to the start of pretty awesome holidays. ireland, london, scotland etc etc.

sunshine, love and pretty boys will abound!

till then....8 more days of toiling and back ache due to excessive hunching over.

irlande here i come!

vantage

the future holds exciting things. God is taking me to places I never thought I'd go! like back to SE Asia, perhaps! i'll know in 3 weeks maybe less.

just have to keep head above water for another 10weeks. less than 3 months to travels and the good life! :D yippee

summer is barely here. but already the frenetic buzzing of wings brings back mild sufferings of entomophobia.

like the song says, Yesus engkau juru selamatku

First day back in uni and already the work is piling on. Went for lunch with friends for a catch-up and they were discussing the tough upcoming semester, placements, work applications and the whole rat race. And suddenly it struck. My God, my Yahweh is so much bigger than all problems. Yeah, i've heard that before, not exactly an epiphany I had, but its was so real that I had to sit back and marvel. Yes, God is my victory dan juru selamatku! Why should I strive and worry like the others when I have a God so strong and faithful?

Life is uncertain but God is faithful. He guides me in paths of righteousness and all my days are in His hands. Enough said.

from now till june

another six weeks of 8am-5pm hours stuck in a small stuffy room. hoorah! Here's to praying that neuro will be relatively easy although it does sound it would challenge my weaknesses. 

Qualities needed: 

-patience. (Uh oh)

-observation of subtle details. (SIGH)

-upper body strength. (mmm...?)

topping it off is the possibility of being verbally and physically (slight chance) abused by brain injured people. 

But no, my optimistic and faith-filled part just bitch-slapped my pessimistic side. am now looking forward to the next six weeks. :)

robert louis stevenson's mister hyde

people annoy me.

how will I survive the clinical world? 

it is an open secret that physios possess the ability to kill via manual techniques. 

patients best stay on my pleasant side. 

the next 4 months will tell.

all lazed and SODA-ed out

the lazy bum bum has quit after 4 days of work, which to be fair, seemed like 4 weeks. i'm a lazy bum bum. why waste precious 3 months hols just standing around looking pretty and NOT being paid? instead, go shop at Sunshine and find unbelievable sales, i.e. SODA summer dress and lovely skirt sold for 10 bucks each only.

reflecting

nim 'as li of reflecting, meaning i'm fed up of reflecting! these western people, asyik reflect on experiences and force us poor asians to do the same! reflecting on placement la, reflecting on exams la, reflecting on learning la, reflecting on the toilet la.... the english love paperwork. everything on paper, paper, paper...no regard for God's green earth. i should be allowed to reflect only on the "throne". maybe then i'll have an epiphany, like that episode on Scrubs. heehee..

on another note, praise Adonai for helping me overcome the lashon hara! getting there...

and how do you like me new background and what not? =D twas done when i should be "reflecting"

all hail

i saw hail! ice hail! woohoo..! not just a few measly ones either. showering down like rain! coming home from placements in Wigan, it felt as if someone was throwing tiny pebbles at my head. mind you, the wind was well nasty today, even killed a man in Wigan. I dunno how, don't ask me, someone heard it over the radio.
Anyway, now i understand when authors say, the wind howls. it truly does. Even the poor crow tried to peck its way into the hospital window in a desperate effort to escape the cold cold wind. I would have grumbled hadn't it been for the ice hail. Now i'm happy skippy. Even saw somemore hail in Manchester.
anyhoo, day went alright. Got to see some routine stuff, some acupuncture, some megapulse work and some ultrasound being done on a man's ass. Nice. Outpatients is fun the first week but i'm betting its gonna get boring after 3 weeks. I definitely have to specialise after 3 years. I don't want to see poor old ladies with back and hip pains for the rest of my life. No way.
TGIF tomorrow. T.G.I.F.
