College and God :)

Aunty Leok Soo posted a link to a Christianity Malaysia article on our church Facebook page earlier today, and she tagged my name in her post, saying to find me in the picture.

So of course, I clicked the link and read at the article, curious as to what it was about. The first two words of the article gave me my answer - Paul Kong, the previous UCSI CF president.

Seeing as the article is a good read, an encouraging testimony, I just thought I'd share it here (click me!), and no, I'm not linking it just so everyone can see my face there. Hahaha in fact, having my pictures there is making me a bit shy xD

mwahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Buh-bye, people!!!

Of Flowers and Rain

 

After having the Les Miserables song "A Little Fall of Rain" stuck in my head for longer than it should be stuck there, I decided to make it even more stuck by Googling the song. Smart right? I know.

Anyway, putting "flowers" and "rain" together in the search bar, I found this quote that is really more like a poem, that was written by an unknown author.

Sometimes it takes rain
To make the flowers grow
Sometimes it takes real pain
Before real joy one knows
Sometimes it takes tomorrows
To understand days gone by
Sometimes before the laughter
There comes heavy sigh
Sometimes it takes the midnight hour
To value morning light
Sometimes it takes the longest mile
Before things come insight
Sometimes you often wonder
Why your heart can get so sore
But its the rocky paths in life
That makes you cherish the smooth roads more!

Well, I guess the poem is quite true, isn't it? We tend to take things for granted or just choose to be ignorant about certain things, until something or someone comes and knock us on our heads. Then we go all "ouch!" and hold our lebam-ed head while thinking "oh ya hor, why didn't I realise this earlier?"

That being said, I don't really get why the author associated rain with pain other than the fact that they rhyme  xD I mean, flowers and joy I can understand. Flowers make people happy and all smiley-faced :D But rain and pain? I actually like rain and so I genuinely don't get what rain has got to do with pain. Again, other than the fact that they rhyme xD

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Happy birthday, daddy!!!

Daddy, handsome as usual ;)

Thanks for being the most wonderful,

the best father in the whole, wide world!

Thank you for being my rock, for always having my back, for always being there for me. Thank you for always accepting me for who I am, though never letting me be happy with being less than my best. Thanks for never letting me forget that whatever I do, you are there for me, standing in my corner, cheering me on.

Thank you for teaching me discipline, as well as the difference between right and wrong; between good and bad; between God's word and ajaran sesat xD Without you, I'd be lost in this world. Thank you for always sharing your wisdom with me, and for always teaching me whenever I do not understand anything. I have always admired you for your wisdom and for your knowledge on what seems to be everything.

Thanks for your wonderful sense of humour, which never fails to brighten up everyone's days. Thank you for teaching me not to take everything too seriously, but to remember that there is always a time to laugh. Thank you for teaching me to laugh not only at others, but to sometimes also laugh about myself.

1-O-1!

Thanks for always being so supportive and for never putting down any of my weird dreams or ideas. Thanks for always encouraging me to do the things I want to do, to grab the chances I am given before it is too late. Thanks for always pushing me to be the best I can be, to be all that I can be.

Thank you for being you, thank you for being the best daddy in the world. I love you so much, and I pray that God will continue to bless you with the riches blessings.

May you live to be 120, dad! ;)

You ain't got no best dad in the world, he's mine!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!

I LOVE YOU!!! :)

Christianity Malaysia

Hey guys!

So our first CF in 2013 was last Friday, and we were visited by someone from the Christian Malaysia website.

Well, lo and behold, UCSI CF appeared on the website! Yay!!! Hahaha I think our CF probably feels a bit famous now ;P

The post on UCSI's first CF in 2013 is hereeeeee (click it click it! :D)

mwahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!

Jom Holiday!

This conversation just happened -
Daddy: I keep getting e-mails from Travelodge.
Me: It's a sign!

Me: I keep getting e-mails from Little Chef!
Mummy and I: It's a sign!

Mummy: I keep getting e-mails from MAS and Air Asia!
Mummy and I: It's a sign!

Daddy: Haiya, it's not a sign, it's a sigh! *sighs*

Hahahaha I was just saying how I felt like flying off to somewhere spontaneously earlier today, and all the talk about travelling happens. It's a sign? XD

White Christmas... Sikit Bawah ;)

I was singing along to the song "White Christmas" when I looked out my window and saw... Snowww!!! Well, as snowy as the weather here in Malaysia can get xD

No snow, no white Christmas in Malaysia. At least no natural ones (Artificial ones in shopping centres, different story lah xD)

Well, it's okay. We may not have snow, but we have rain. It may not be white, but it can be a bit greyish, which, you know, has a bit of white in it, right? X)

It's alright that we don't really get the environment and the weather we hear about in all the Christmas songs, because we all celebrate the same thing all over the world - the birth of Jesus Christ :)

So Christmas, with or without snow, is my favourite time of the year. Even though we get "sikit bawah" Christmas weather here!

mwahahahaha...


Buh-bye, people!!!

A reminder :)

Hey guys!

I had a wonderful day today, despite the fact that I couldn't go back home. Myself and 3 other friends from CF went to visit the street ministry at PJ Old Town Fellowship. More of us were supposed to go, but most people had to work or had something else on.

First, we went to see the building where the PJ Old Town Fellowship was based. There, we were brought to look around thenbuilding, and we were told of the work they do. After that, we were brought to this back lane where every Saturday, they give out free food to the homeless and such. I had always wanted to help out at a "soup kitchen", and today, I finally had the chance to! :D

The people who came were surprisingly quite jolly, and many even sang along happily to whatever song was being played. The four of us who went were taught how to serve food the "sushi belt" way, which I'm actually quite sad I didn't take a picture of (never mind, next time! :D). It's actually a really good idea where we all stand in one row, facing opposite directions alternately. For example, if I was standing facing the left side of the lane, the two people beside me, on my left and on my right, would be standing facing the right side of the lane, and the people on the other sides of them would be facing the same direction as me, and so on. That way, we can pass two plates at a time from side to side. Genius! :D

There was also a place where the people could come to get free medical check-ups and medications and so on. There was only one doctor there, and I was really impressed by him! He just kept seeing one patient after another, doing this and doing that for the people who came to see him, treating each and every one of them with respect and sincerity.

Really, it felt great being there and trying to help out in whatever way I could, even though I'm pretty sure I did more kacau-ing then actually helping xD The doctor and all the aunties helping out the were so nice, though! They kept letting me do things, letting me feel useful. They were so nice! The doctor was also so nice, he taught me how to take the patients' blood pressure!

In a particularly embarrassing moment, though, I couldn't for the life of me hear anything on the stethoscope, and then I realised I was wearing the stethoscope the wrong way! Haha I wore the left earpiece on my right ear and the right earpiece on my left. Oops! Fail lah, this medical student! Hahahaha I went, "errr, I think im wearing the stethoscope the wrong way" and the doctor looked over and said, "yeah, you are", and everyone there started laughing while I went "Oopsss!"

Everybody was so nice, though, and I kept feeling and thinking to myself that I would really love to serve there whenever I can, alongside all these people, serving together and showing God's love to so many people looking for love and for someone to just treat them like normal people.

I am really glad I went for the exposure outing just now. Earlier on in the week, I was deciding whether to stay back for this or to go back home for a wedding. I'm so glad God helped me decide to stay back for it! I was greatly blessed!

Also, I think I really needed to go there, and God knew it. He reminded me of the reason I chose to study medicine in the first place, that is so that one day, I can go out into the mission field and be useful and welcomed, helping the people who need medical attention and showing them that I have a God who loves, who loves them too. I needed the reminder that this is what He gave me a desire for, that this is His will for me, that medicine is the course He put me in.

People will come to a doctor, while people in other fields will usually have to go to the people. Medicine itself becomes a powerful tool for evangelism! :) 

I think mummy is just a little jealous that I could help out at a soup kitchen today while she was at home! XP The soup kitchen is actually an idea mummy is very keen on :D Mummy says maybe one Saturday, when mummy and daddy come up to KL, we could all go and help out there! Yay! Sounds good :D

Oh oh oh and after everything was packed up there, the four of us had to walk pass Petaling street to get to the LRT station. There, I saw a guy with a monkey happily sitting behind him on a motorbike that was covered (decorated?) with leopard print! None of the three people I was with saw it, though, so they think maybe I was hallucinating. I don't think I was, though! XD

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buy-bye, people!!!
