Some things to look forward to...

Daydreaming commences...

What should I do after the exam?

- MJ with family
- time with albert ^_^
- a possible med trip - that is totally unprepared... (doubting if it will happen)
- tidy up my notes and burn them to ashes (wa ha ha.. nah i won't)
- bring my dog to the vet
- QT QT QT with God
- lots of movies
- piano
- k
- badminton - back in action on Sat!!
- learn to cook
- take my cousins out
- SHOPPING
- buy tickets for end of year trip!
- HAIR CUT!!

Talking about hair cut, I want to get it done ASAP!

Who would advocate a short-hair Tiff look?

this photo was taken in 2004 - at I- ball!
the day i cut it @ good morning. ha ha...
n of course with make-up & everything...
That was about as short as my hair got during uni...













so far, no one thinks short-hair would look good on me... ha ha...

perhaps i should just trim a bit... rather than a radical change... me no guts.. ha ha

^_^ SWOTVAC

I enjoy swotvac! (is that even how you spell it?)

no need to get up early to fight the traffic
no need to rush for class, running up and downstairs
no need to see anybody
just having some quiet time to MYself

cramming cramming everything i can..........................

sometimes i feel like my brain is only able to store X amt of information
if i learn anything new this moment, something old ought to come out.

bah....

2 more days till my MCQ exam!!! ADD OIL!!!

reasonable

dragging my legs to encounter last night - feeling like i haf made an incredible sacrifice. (whilst everyone else was studying hardcore - *I* made myself go to church...) just as i was praying for God to bless me with a good message, a good encounter with God... I stopped myself in time and thanked God instead. for allowing me to have the freedom to go to church, to come in empty-handed and soak up all the good work that volunteers staff have done before I come into the building, to allow me to de-stress...

then dan said:

... to make a sacrifice in your life for Jesus is a reasonable act of worship...

It is only logical that we lay down our life for Him coz He died for us.
It is MERELY the right thing to do.
Who am i to have even a slight feeling of pride?

***********************************************
Beside the point

I came to listen to a "famous" speaker - whom didnt turn up at all! how hilarious. "what? i came all the way, sacrificing my night of studies for no-speakers?" ha ha... dan pulled out a good msg nonetheless...

i can only imagine

LISTEN



I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you

Prison Break

the sermon was on 'prison break' - how God is able to give us freedom, and release us from situation that binds us down. Eg. alcohol addiction (internet addiction?), depression, illness that won't go away...

to me, exam is a 'fixed' sentence of a fixed length. for i know that i'll get out on 28th June (if i don't fail).

i guess a 'fixed' sentence is quite easily dealt with. you know for sure that you'll get out. there's no way that i can have a shorter sentence. just accept it!

whats most debilitating and discouraging is when you don't see the end of it. its a life sentence that you don't deserve, perhaps? how would YOU stay faithful during that?

there's no immediate release. it's character building as you persevere... with God along ur side, believe in a miracle.

everyone has a life sentence of some sort. break free, guys... don't be comfortable where you are. a better world is out there...

just when i'm used to it...

I think I finally got used to this lifestyle

never would I imagine that I could sustain a 7am to 6pm - 5 times a week...
for the sake of station parking.. for the sake of less walking (exercise)
for the sake of less traffic.. for the sake of not being kidnapped or raped on Mount street..
for the sake of study time..

I've pulled myself out of bed 6:20am daily - fearing of no parking space - resorting to Mount Street parking...
i see familiar intern faces parking at the station
the same cleaning ladies would be sitting at the couches of *our* common room..
the computer room would be all dark coz i would be the first person to activate the movement-sensing lighting
I'd say " good morning " to an empty room
comfortably settling at *my* computer and have my gmail account open
the same cleaning lady would come into the computer room approximately 7:25
I would study.. hm..

then, going home as soon as I can, which usually ended up being 6?

getting about 2 hrs of study per night
Sleeping at 11pm-ish

getting 7 hrs of sleep - if i'm being disciplined.

.............................never would've thought I could do this. Sadly, just when I'm used to it - it's nearly over...

5 more days to go - COUNTING DOWN...........................

broca's atrophy?

maybe i have that too... like yn said on her blog...
seriously, why is it when i get asked qn's, i just get stuck?
often, its because i seriously don't know the answer.
more often than not, i actually DO know the ans, just that my brain doesn't process fast enough for words to come out of my mouth.

STRUCTURE

yeh u've gotta have a structure and REFLEX mechanism to answer questions.
so that even when you're adrenalised, you're able to say the appropriate things.
exam is kinda unfair coz it doesn't fully assess how much you know.
it assesses your exam performance.
but there's no better alternative, is there?

23 days to go...

Tiffany has 17 variant forms: Theophanie, Tifara, Tifennie, Tiffaney, Tiffani, Tiffanie, Tiffeny, Tiffenie, Tiffie, Tiffney, Tiffy, Tiphanie, Tiphara, Tiphenie, Tipheny, Tyffany and Tyffenie.

Manz the comforter

was frustrated and bored with studies...

and seeing that I have a lot of credit on my phone, I called Manz.

She just finished her exams and all very happy.

in the middle of her holiday before she commences full-time work.


she comforted me and empathised with me.

med students are not the only ones suffering...

what am i worried abt?

true- i shld do my best

but - if i dun get a gd mark, then so be it...

the Lord turns all things for GOOD.


so, momentarily I'm at peace. ^_^


here's a photo from phoebe's 21st...

Purpose

... let me give you a bit of history about this blog. It started a few yrs ago. coz :+: sky :+: created a Cell Group Blog so I was "made" to sign up for blogspot. then i started posting. and then i abandoned it for a year or so. And then intermittently I would write a blog when I was bored. Then one day out of .. frustration or what not, I needed to rant on about my life - hoping no one would ever read it. Sort of like my diary but subtly placed on line. Then ppl like yn and sky started to read it also... thats fine... and then slowly more and more ppl are finding out...

the purpose *was* for me to vent my frustration or to whinge about life... My other blog on msn is the real blog that i want everyone to read and look at my photos. Perhaps my life is a bit two-faced so I kinda need 2 blogs.

anyway hmm... the purpose remains... this will continue to be the blog that I am a bit more open about my problems & Joy in life. ^_^

and yes, feel free to leave comments~
