Life in brief

Life these past few weeks has been busy.

Lectures have been interesting. This is the most meaningful semester of my life - every thing I learn in my modules is very cool. I get to learn about diseases and epidemiology.. why some diseases have no cure, about dengue fever, AIDS and SARS.. and about the immune system. I have excellent biology lecturers; most of them are doctors for the large part, and they speak very good english - a welcome change from the wierd accents I'm used to hearing.

And the Japanese class - Suzuki sensei is nothing short of amazing. I feel that I'm learning a lot from every lecture. (Which is quite amazing, considering I'm already had prior knowledge of the stuff being taught). Also get to correct some of my errors in spoken Japanese, which is good.

I wish I had more semesters like this . Heck I wish every semester could be like this.

A lot of people nagging me to quit smoking. A few from inside church, a few from outside church. And to lose weight. I wonder why God chooses to send so many people to comment on my life this time - no seriously, why now? Why not before this? Is it because I've reached some new level in my life - the stage of where my resolve will be tested? I need to make tough decisions about how I choose to live my life soon.

A verse mentioned by Pastor Jeff during last week's sermon stuck me deeply

John 14:21a - Whoever hears my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me..

How much do I love God? (Not very much, I readily admit.)

Last year's birthday, I have received a lot of nice gifts. But the best one, by far, is a personal organizer by my mom. Haha, really very excited by this gift.

Why leh? Cos, it comes at an appropriate time of my life - I want to grow more organized in my life..

I'm rapidly finding it as indispensable as my handphone.. Good good.. This is a good sign..

God help me to grow to become a better person this year..

My dad sent this to me..

In times of difficulties don’t say,
“God I’ve a big problem”
Instead say, “Hey problem I've a big God”
Everything will be yours….God bless you


somemore my Dad isn't a christian. How cool is that..

A new year

Lol, haven't updated in a while.

This christmas season was one of the best ones I had.. beats bracing the winter chill in Suzhou with my family.. this year even my family came back to celebrate with me. Had two seperate parties in my house. Pretty cool.. I'll upload photos when I'm less lazy haha..

This sem's modules are pretty cool.. easily the least boring sem ever. I've always been fascinated with microbes and stuff. Initially disappointed that I couldn't take Microbiology this sem, but instead I've taken Immunology as well as Infectious diseases, which is like totally cool.

Totally cool, as in, this is the reason why I wanted to come into life science the first place. Infectious diseases covers topics like epidemiology, which is like, drool worthy.

Ellson today gave me this personality test thing to do.. The spiritual giftings one frankly I think isn't that helpful. Like what he say, to grow in the gift of hospitality isn't something very feasible. Would have to do something like make my house a min house, which is like .. errr..

My personality, dun think is something you can read off a table one lah haha.. but is quite simple oso.. I enjoy simplicity in my life. =]
