Getting Married???????
Can't believe this. This day has finally arrived... (no no, i'm not getting married...)A friend of mine is getting married. (I know her sister much better though)Anyway, it was a 1st love from year 8 till now!!!What a rarity nowadays!She's now what 22? or 23? Guess it shouldn't be a surprise to mecoz it HAS been a very stable relationship.They're both working now - in HK.ANyway, What a wonderful news!! Super Happy For Them!!
Cat's Surprise 21st!!!!
WERE YOU SURPRISED, CAT?? (she said she was...)
Yip. A surprise party organised by Kim and Rene. How sweet~~~
We all made an effort to drop down our books and came all the way down for a mini-excursion to Brighton East. I admire Cat's effort of coming all the way to wantirna every week - TWICE a week. She deserves much more than what we've done for her. She is one of the most caring, encouraging person I know. Definitely someone of integrity. She sacrifices herself for friends. She always SMILES - a contagious kinda smile that brightens up your day! A fantastic leader - someone who has a great heart for God. God has His hand on you, Cat! You're chosen and let's live a barbaric christian life - as was preached by Erwin today.
HAPPY 21st~ Here are some photos taken

Last Uni Day on Campus...
So that was it! I had the last tutorial in the medical building FOREVER... The tutor shouted us drinks at an irish pub. * HOW NICE * and we didn't even bother getting him a card!! feel so bad...
So after tutorial, all the meds kinda hanged out in medical building foyer. WE got a bit emotional. well some people ( I won't name WHO!!) dropped a few tears. We gave hugs to people. We took random photos. Some people gave away food.
How sad... As I look across, so many faces that I know yet I don't know. Like, I'd love to know each of them better... The class of 200+ students is about to split apart. I might never see the grad students every again coz they skip the research year. And those who are going to rural, RMH, St Vincent - I might hardly see them again --- until our graduation day... This is all so sad to think about...
Yet I was happy. I've had enough of routines: going to lectures, tutorials, library... It's time for me to move on to something else. I was promised that the best is yet to come. Clinical years should be terrific~ Can't wait to see you all at Austin NEXT YEAR!!
Our train ride on the last day of uni:
Rare guests: Yi-Ning and Fei Fei (+ the regular GW riders: me, dora, Jia Jia)
Last Lecture On Campus - EVER!
How did it happen?
My uni life on campus is coming to an end...
Today I had the last lecture EVER with the whole class of med.
how sweet ~ 8am Lecture ~ @_@
A few people didn't turn up though. >_<
Kinda too early in the morning to get emotional
We took a photo.
Steph probably took 40 photos this morning in the lecture? (hehehe)
Then i got home. yeh went all the way to the city for one hour lecture...
but it was worth it. I wanted to be there at the LAST LECTURE ever...
Here are some photos we took on the train - in memory of the good'ol days when we chatted for the whole 40 mins ride...(Imagine the embarrassment of taking pictures on an EARLY morning, fully-packed train.)
Siblings are great....
(hey this is not a poem!! I'm just too lazy to construct nice paragraphs!)
I have an elder sister. I thank God for her ~
True, she annoys me A LOT.
But she gives me the kinda comfort that noone can give.
I spend most of the night studying in the room.
while She watches TV with mum.
When it's close to bed time (or when she runs out of tapes to watch),
She'd come in and give me a shoulder massage.
Not once a month
not once a week
couple of times a week - she'd do that.
When I'm thirsty, she'd deliver drink
(if she's happy and there's no TV to watch).
She'd ask me if I'm free to talk.
Sometimes I'd cruelly refuse coz i AM busy...
And when she's scared at night,
she'd sleep in my room.
I thank God for my sis...
her blessings in my life are beyond words.
Just can't imagine life without her.
Siblings are great. Someone might argue otherwise....
Glenny got robbed...
I visited my high school today ( to collect some debt for Catalyst Education) and Ms Buley told me that the computers in Sci-Tech were stolen. They stole all the expensive stuff and the money in the staff office. I bet they were after those Flatscreen TVs we have...
How depressing. Apparently it's their THIRD time! My goodness... How could people do it to a school?
And I saw some familiar-looking teachers... I doubt if they remember me... Oh and I saw Mr Popoff~ the garbo guy~ He's cool. Doing a fine job to keep our schoolyard nice and neat.
e-bay...
ARGH... can u believe it? I registered on e-bay... I better not get addicted to this. a) it's bad b) it's wrong timing (exams!) c) it's addictive...
But this is so cute... my friend from cell bought one on e-bay... roughly $30 - express post to your door!!!!! how cool.. but it's from HK. knowing it probably cost like $5 in HK - should i really buy it?
Which one do
YOU like? cast your vote...
The head actually moves - using solar power!!!
From Paris...
That's my grandma at the Eiffel tower~ So cute - the pose! Love my grandma~ My dad was there too but Grandma's cuter~ deserves to go on the blog!!
This is a castle, and inside the castle, there are
a few books... books are nice to look at. not to study...
I'm Stressed... are you?
I've come to notice that people seem to be quite stressed due to Work, Exams, friends.... etc... must be this time of the year...
WEll, may I remind you that He carries you through?
Question for you...
:+: Would you rather be deaf or blind? :+:...Open for discussion...
In our med christian group today, we had a discussion on this question. I'm surprised that there's such a blance of responses. Initially, I thought
who would prefer Ears over Eyes?
Anyway, here's what I think.
I'd rather be deaf coz I'm a visual person. I learn better by reading BOOKS than listening to the lecturer. There are so many God-created, beautiful things to see. Some places that I've been to - just take my breath away. Also you can still communicate by reading lips. How inconvenient it would be to get by places without sight? I'd constantly bump into things. *ouch*
Where my Dad is... (Italy)... that is why I want my sight!!!
Actually, the main reason is I can still blog, go on internet, and CHAT ON MSN... hhaahaha kkekee... (just joking.. thats not the main reason)
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??
(btw, so i didn't really fail my test... Thank God.)
^_^ a good day
Things are becoming better~ Yay. ^_^ Today was a good day. a normally 2 hour lecture was shrunk to 45mins.. haha.. Had a birthday celebration for Sally. And the sermon yesterday was SO GOOD. but hard to do... Living everyday - focusing on God's objective is a very tough thing to do. Let us not forget God wants to use us to bless others. He gives us seed not for us to consume but for us to bless others. May His power, authority be known on Earth - through what we do, how we treat people, how we use God's power (eg to heal the sick).. ~Believe in God's supernatural power~
Law Ball
So yeh I went to law ball last night. It was held at Crown Palladium. Very nice venue~ Food was good but not enough. Alcohol - no spirit. Apparently the wine and champagne were crap. Well, i couldn't tell. Didn't know too many people. Many nice-looking chicks~ lots of great outfits~ Music was good, I thought. Dancing was good.
Can you believe? I had around 35 minutes to dress up beforehand? Should've skipped class, huh? nah... i am very efficient! Unlike Dora - who took AGES. Thanks JJ for doing my hair! nice~
I guess it was a bit of a bad luck friday for me. I borrowed my uncle's camera - and it broke down in the middle of the night. WADA! Someone (or could be me) must've broken the lens or something. All photos turned out black. How should I tell my uncle? err... guess might have to buy him a new camera... *what an expensive ball*. dress + shoes + ball ticket + camera...
..SIGH.. just not my MONTH at all. 2005 May. thank goodness it's nearly over. exams are coming.

Jia Jia's 21st Bday
What a nice evening @ Grand Hyatt~ Had a terrific time just taking photos. Talking. Music. The med group did a play for Jia Jia. so funny. Bei acted as Jia Jia. a very typical love story. so corny. ANYWAY, had some drinks. Played some games. Majority of the people stayed overnight. didn't sleep at all. Well I managed to sleep for about 2 hours. and then waking up at 7am to head to 8am lecture.
Jia jia is an adorable person. She deserves everything that she has. She's someone who is VERY caring to her friends. Very honest - never afraid to speak what she thinks. Someone who skips a lot of classes but still knows her stuff. ^_^ Thanks for your friendship, JJ!!!
Nice big bed at the hotel room

Looking out of the big window. a bit like matrix, huh?

ALl the Med Pplz
wasn't a bad day...
Yeh yesterday wasn't a bad day. I guess you learn to appreciate the "good" days when you've had a couple of lousy ones. So yeh Praise God. Today should be better - I hope! Will soon post up photos of JJ's bday and Law Ball... As for now, I need to study - for PBL tut...
WHY WHY WHY...
..............................................
Not in the best mood again.
What's going on?
Things are going against me, even family.
had a total of 7 hours sleep for the past 2 nights. great.... *not*.... @_@
Why? well yesterday was Jia jia's birthday party. Slept over at the hotel and turned up to 8am lecture the next day. Wada? - knowing the lecturer is BAD - I still went. coz didn't wanna feel guilty. BUT the lecturer showed us a magic at the end. Pulled out a cloth that says "Good Luck With Your Exam". *every one goes "awwww..."* and then she pulled out a dove (fake one). *awww...* Guess that was worth going to ...
By the way, the party was FANTASTIC... really good. except couldn't sleep... Majority of people just stayed up the whole night ... How on earth do they do that?
I slept at the Glen Foodcourt today - waiting for mum to pick me up. An elderly came up to ask if I was okay. *awww...* So I told her I was just tired. She gave me a pat. Why do you think I work for the elderly? Most gorgeous people...
anyway........ Yeh things are not going my way. but I'll take Sam's one-liner and josh's poem to heart. PRESS ON...
I hate TESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGH!!!!! Can't cope anymore.... stupid test.... It was quite stupid. Like they don't ask anything regarding the CONCEPTS. They just ask RANDOM trivial things that pop up once in the lecture or something. apparently - they do it to discriminate the "VERY smart" med students and the "smart" students. !!~$#$#$@!#!#!!!!??? That's Med. It's not EVER going to change. Actually serves me right. I don't even understand all the concepts yet. Even if they DID ask me concepts, I'd fail. ANYWAY -------- that's it. Gotta study Hard for the BIG exams!!! and to be a competent doctor in general...
I wonder what I'd be doing if I didn't choose Med........ and would i not complain about Tests/assignments?
@_@ Did I really fail that test? @_@
whats happening in my life?
Mother's Day today. Gave mum a card and something. Gave her a hug and a kiss. No flowers this year. Haha.. In the past, I've always given her flowers in a surprising way. 1) I put it in the boot of her car 2) i was interstate, so i ordered some flowers to be delivered to my house.
Anyway, no flowers this year.

gonna be a HUGE week - TEST ON MONDAY, jiajia's birthday, law ball...
- -- - - - - - - -
Dad and grandma are on the plane as I type. 6 weeks holiday to europe and HK. so i'll have to do a lot of driving these days...
- - - - - - - - - -
God answered my prayer!!!!!!!!! well, not about the *catastrophe* that i mentioned before. but something better!!!!!!!!! He's a God that loves to HEAL~ I encourage you all to pray ~~~ And Thank Him in Advance!! I shouldn't be surprised when He answers Yes to my prayer, should I?
- - - - - - - - - -
...when things dun go ur way...
I'm a bit blurred lately... haha... actually nothing to laugh about.
how did cell change from 7:45 to 7:30 without me knowing?
too many emails..... way too many.... 80% about Jia Jia's 21st..
so kinda scanned through Irene's email regarding cell...
ANYWAY, no big deal. just a little example to prove that I'm a bit .... errr (insert here)... lately.
but then things DID go my way when I asked God to help with the selling of Catalyst Education biology books at Wantirna College today. Like EVERYTHING went so smoothly. Glory To God coz seriously I just relied on Him to fit CE into my VERY BUSY schedule this week. was VERY reluctant to do CE stuff. *VERY* coz no one in the team seems motivated. kinda had to step out and set an example... ANYWAY
* firstly, prac somehow finished earlier as expected
* i caught the right train to go home, arriving at a perfect time
* got to Wantirna College. Guided to the school office by a teacher who just walked out
* the receptionist was free (which is strange, coz after i went, people started to flood the office)
* she called in the Science Co-ordinator who just arrived at school, and will have a class very shortly. but she was willing to take some time out to speak to me.
* she's very nice! agreeing that she'll promote the books for me...
* all in all took about 20 mins or so? when i was expecting to waste a lot of time on it...
something trivial like this just challenges me how much more God will do for me for the BIG THINGS if only i ask and trust!! ~ T.R.U.S.T. ~ F.A.I.T.H ~
Cell was fantastic tonight~ Such a great discussion. Some deep and not so-deep thoughts. haha... Cat is just awesome~ I love how she's so humble about it all. Anyway if you're reading this, Cat, you're my role model! (but then we're not supposed to compare each other's talents, according to Lyn)
Was really challenged by what it means to hear God, to act on His Words, to spread the gospel. I admire how Paul could be so hopeful and faithful despite the pain and suffering he went through. kinda feel guilty for feeling "stressed" and "upset" when little things don't go my way. calling it a *catastrophe* LOOK AT PAUL!! He glorified God in the midst of pain. His character is one of humility and faithfulness. Look unto God in all situations. turning the -ve to +ve.
Really challenges my heart. How is my character? What is my attitude towards Church? What's my life all about? How's my faith level? What's my calling?
Anyway so cell was over and we discussed about fund raising ideas. Which went
way over time. Got home "late" - in kwok's family standard. First thing my sis said: mum's annoyed that ur late... ARGH ... GR8... anyway she was asleep. ...
if only she knew... if only...
~Catastrophe~
Not the best day. not at all... Guess I have to trust in God that whatever happens will serve God's purpose. Whatever the circumstance, I can trust that I'll gain something from it. But still, I pray for a resolution. A good resolution... >_< But if it ain't gonna happen, I just have to press on. Not the end of the world. Learn from the mistakes and lay down my worries at His feet. *SIGH*
PRAISE GOD, I SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
