King's sports day ;-)

haha.. u must be wondering who's this 'king'? :P it's none other than NEUMAN..
my youngest brother. heh..

i was awaken at 645am (any earlier ah??), only had like 3 hrs of sleep. so u can
just imagine my zombie-like face, walking aimlessly trying to get dress @ the
king's hurrying & whining..

soon we (my parents & i) all trudged into the car.. half awake. neuman was the
only one all hyped up & amazingly awake! -_-" ok so as not to spoil his mood.
haha.. we went equipped with 100plus, 100plus power, livita & every other
energy drink u can think of, we have it! ha! the blessed youngest child :-D

being bck in 'school'.. brings bck memories. haha.. i had a nostalgic moment for
awhile there.. almost shed a tear. just missing the surrounding & the set-up
of it.. that didn't last very long, because the moment i stepped into the toilet,
i realize i don't miss it that much after all. haha!!

hehe.. my brother got a gold (100 m) & a silver (200 m)!! congrats to him
:-D haha.. he really took it seriously. am proud of him. hehe..

LAST but not LEAST (no assoc w the title), i wanna really really thank God!
for being sooooo faithful. recently, i "incurred" some debts, as in my accounts
just doesn't seem to tally, n i had to fork out most of my angpow money &
allowance to cover it. n it got me worried, because.. that leaves me with nothing
much to spend for my KK trip. n guess what! i was blessed with a sum of money
from my aunt as well as from the pageant. the cheque really came as a surprised!
a pleasant one of course ;-) thank you Jesus for providing! :-D

A Trip to the DENTIST

i've never really liked going to the dentist. i don't know why. haha.. but they are ppl we NEED
to see from time to time. my recent trip was quite an interesting one :-D

so off we (me & my dad) went to this dentist in s'pore (it's sorta my family dentist, since we
moved to JB, more often during my JC days) haven't been there more than a yr.. surprisingly,
dr lam still remembers me. it's nice when someone remembers u.. haha.. initially i thought he
was just being the friendly person he is, (& having my records) he gave me a hearty handshake
& said hello christine! u've finish ur a levels right. what are u doing now? medicine? ahh.. yes.
so i gave him the standard answer (u know what i mean? i'm in IMU in my second yr.. blah
blah) & yes.. the ever popular question.. so, which uni will u be partnering to? & once again,
i get wise doctorly advise.. on which uni is reputable & known for its medical degree.. haha!
(in my mind, yea, easy for u to say, u're earning big bucks & both ur children are @ concorde
already..)

ok anyway, chief complaint: wisdom tooth growing outwards, n it's quite a bother..
after a check & an x-ray (ok this x-ray machine is so super hi-tech! it's this revolving
thingy.. reminds me of star wars kinda set-up) oh well.. i was even given a lead gown to
wear. reminds me of gleneagles days. haha!

& surprise surprise! not only my wisdom is growing outwards. that's not even the main issue.
my other 2 wisdom teeth are growing front-wards! pushing all my other teeth. no wonder
my front teeth overlaps (although i've worn braces) anyway, the dr rated it 4/5 in terms
of difficulty. so poor me had to undergo surgery :-(

i was terrified, petrified by then.. but hehe.. thank God for good dentists :-D anyway,
dr lim was very nice, he explained everything to me in detail, pre, during & post operative,
what to expect & all.. the risks involved etc. n in came dr lam, psst, she's gonna be one
of us, u can talk to her in medical terms.. -_-" so the dr started speaking jargons, inferior dental
nerve la, arteries & veins, paraesthesia.. the best part, he promised to be as gentle as possible.
n true enough, and i believe by God's guidance & mercy on me. haha.. the operation was not
painful at all! i was singing songs in my head whilst the operation was going on praying
real hard that there won't be any pain. haha.. it's quite hard when the drilling sound is quite
gruelling & overwhelming. anyway.. it went smoothly. i'll take a picture of the teeth n show
em to y'all!

oh yes! hehe.. being a medical student has its benefits too ;-) the dr waived the consultation
fees, didn't charge me for the medications & even gave me a 20% discount because.. we're
all malaysians! :-D

but the local anesthetic wore off rather fast for me.. so the pain came.. n it was miserable.
i was in s'pore! shopping haven! sales everywhere.. & i didn't have the mood to shop.
immediately popped 2 ponstan n it got better.. even tried on a gown. haha.. that lightened up
my mood! it was really cool! it can havee 7 different styles! hehe.. ok bck to the main issue.

now it's day2. i ended up with a huge swelling on my right cheek. that's to be expected. but i
didn't expect it to be that big! i look like i have mumps! elephantitis! anyway.. hehe.. it's just
a manifestation of the FIVE CARDINAL SIGNS of INFLAMMATION (quiz time! quick,
tag the answers... hahaha!!!)

something the dr said really striked me. haha.. not that i didn't know it before.. but it's more
evident now. he said, to become a good dr, u have to be a patient first, at least u'll feel
more empathy towards the patient. for me, more than that! i learned to be more sensitive
to other ppl's feelings. cos today in the complex, i got a lot of weird stares. it made me a little
uneasy & conscious of how ppl looked at me. n i must admit, i'm guilty of that too. so............
nxt time, i will not stare at ppl who may not look so normal because i now know it's not a nice
feeling at all. .

my post ends here.. erm, i'm still considering whether i shld attach my ugly picture or not. haha!

my dream house.... *drool*

flowers from my darling! :-D

pardon the.. erm, temporary change

hey! someone messed with my blog.. was really pissed!!! hee, anyway, while i look for

HOHOHO!!!

anyway.. church today was.. entertaining!!! yeP!

we had Ps Nicholas Choo.. heard of him? anyway, he's ONE COOL GUY! i tell you,
ONE COOL GUY.

he talked abt the 7 UPs of LIFE today.

1. WAKE UP! The Right Start..
Ps 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made! I will REJOICE & be GLAD in it.
& of course SHOW that u're glad la. a frown doesn't say that.

2. DRESS UP! The Right Protection..
1 Sam 16:7b For man looks on the outward appearance but God looks at the heart.
Prov 4:23 Above all else, GUARD ur heart, for out of it flows the wellspring of life
(p/s: LUSTS doesn't LAST!)

3. SHUT UP! The Right Choice..
sometimes it's just better not to say anything
Prov 13:3 He who keeps his mouth, keeps his life, he who opens his lips wide, ruins
himself
** the power of LIFE & DEATH is in the TONGUE!
(remind me to tell u the story of 2 frogs)

4. STAND UP! The Right Stand..
Gal 6:9 But we should not lose heart in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap,
if we do not faint
Apostle Paul definitely stood up for his faith. Another person that i know of, who's
an appeton of boldness. Desmond! Amazing friend.

5. LOOK UP! The Right Attitude..
Phil 4:13 I can do ALL THINGS (not some, not a few, not a lot, but EVERYTHING)
through Christ who strengthens me.

6. REACH UP! The Right Challenge..
Heb 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things
unseen. (couldn't have been better said!)

7. LIFT UP! The Right Partner..
Phil 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in ANYTHING & EVERYTHING, by prayer
& supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
* obviously the Right Partner is JESUS. this partnership will not make u lose
anything, but gain EVERYTHING!

along with this sermon, he had like magic tricks, & funny stories.. He was a real
blessing! pray that u're blessed by it too!

So there you have it. 7 UPs of LIFE.. :D

deja vu?

heyheyhey.. is it a great day or is it a great day? (it's a rhetoric qn btw, which does not require u to answer :P) hahaha!! ok ok.. i'm HIGH.

let's see.. well, actually, the day (sunday) didn't start of very well.. (i shall
not go into the detail of it) but yeah.. let's just put it this way.. had a
'disagreement' with mom in the morning before going to church.. which left me
being rudolph the red nose reindeer (yes, i cried) anyway.. haha.. ppl in church
must be wondering what the heck is wrong with me? getting sentimental after not
being in fgc after a yr? haha..

anyway. yup so i was in church.. my initially lively mood was dampened. so i went to
church.. forced a smile.. greeted ppl cordially. well things got better along the
way :) met uncle albert, aunty christine, wendy, qi en, max & others yup.. n they
were really nice & warm. hehe.. miss them! i just found out today! they now have
2 svces! i went @ 930 & the door was locked :-O i thought i was toooo late. hahaha.
anyway. yep, now 2nd svc starts @ 10 for bilingual.. worship brings bck a nostalgic
wave. haha.. this is where i learn most of my mandarin!! so there i was.. the
banana, singing chinese worship songs! some of which i even know by heart! hah! :P

DEJA VU:
n then came communion.. n then they sang this song. n i started crying.. n crying
n crying.. the song talks abt how i can face tmr because HE LIVES. all fear is
GONE. i've heard this song even before i could talk. n today.. it just touched me.
n God was just comforting me & say.. it's ok. it's ok. i've got everything in my
hands. do u think i don't care abt this family? why do u worry? n it just felt like i was cuddled in his arms.. n i just uttered the words thank you. i miss u.. then i was like huh? i miss God? even when he's arnd me 24/7? but yeah.. i realized. i do miss Him. i know He's arnd. but i haven't really spend time with Him. waiting on Him, seeking Him. it was just me talking.. not waiting for a reply. after communion,
things didn't seem wrong anymore. n even when i came bck home. mom was OK. God is good!

so why do i say deja vu? haha.. abt 2 yrs ago, i was in the exact same seat, in the
same church, partaking of the communion, crying my eyes out again. over someone. whom
i was holding like a whole lot of grudge. tried to let go but couldn't.. n yes! God once again.. helped me to forgive. (was a painful rebuke) hey, now we're good friends never thought it would be possible! :) amazing.. haha..

so yeah! if u don't know this Jesus i know.. TRY HIM. ...taste & see that the Lord
is good.. because He is good indeed.. (and everyone who agrees say AMEN!)
