"So Young" by The Corrs
27/2 marks an important day for many people. Nope. Its not just the eve of the day for the O Level results. But its the day that my cell group for 5 years have multiplied..... 5 years...meaning I am a member of City Harvest Church for almost 5 1/2 years now.
The day when I entered church, I was with a really close knit group of n20....everyone could feel the love everywhere....love for God love for fellow cell group members. That was why it was so hard when n20 underwent a multiplication. Even though I was only a few months old to the cell group, I felt like I was in a family. And the day when we multiplied, I cried buckets.......I looked around.....people were weeping, sobbing, tearing incessantly........
There arised a new n20 held under the wings of Brother Samuel alongside Diana, Vanessa, Xue'er, Mark, Ern Ern. Meiting and myself. Given the cell was multiplied in 3 ways with another cell group. That was why we only got a handful of people. Thus I was thrust with greater responsibility doing follow ups, visitations etc. Under Brother Samuel, I grew tremendously cos I was literally stretched to the limits.......with parental objections, my A Levels and church, it was a tough act to juggle but to God be the glory I managed to finish the act.
n20 was growing steadily at that time but something really big happened - Brother Samuel left us and Pastor Aries (used to be Brother Aries) came and took us under his care. I should be in the army at this time cos I remembered I did not do any follow ups for Pastor Aries..........During the helm of Pastor Aries, there had been at least 3 times of speculations of multiplying. I did see that n20 was really in the merge of multiplying but we just didn't have the 1 or 2 members needed. And things went downhill from then on. Many people left the cell group and I was left with Ern Ern, Xue'er and Mark. At that time I felt what was happening and I was so tempted to just bail out. But thank God I stayed and then come Sister Gillian with E115 and the group started growing up again till today.
I am really proud to be in n20. Though we took 5 years to multiply, we still did and we can give all the glory to God
Sister Gillian - thank you for being such a giving leader.
Andrea - stay strong in your faith
Kaka - I have seen you grown so much. Continue doing what you are doing

Faith - you are one of the strongest sisters I have seen
John - will miss your house.....
Lilian - see eugene...haha
Xueer - I have been in the same cell with you since forever...haha
Mark - Come back soon dude...miss ya

Cheng How - How?
Qiwei - my always on the ball chauffeur........thanks bro
Chang Chin - will miss you lots too.....
Guisheng - funny guy.......but I can see your heart for God

"One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey featuring Boyz II Men
Indeed this is a sweet day. Thank you God for answering my prayers. I managed to pass my obturation today!!! YipEE! So long obturation....lol.... But more importantly, today is the day that marked my first day in clinics and Ivan was the honored guest to be my first patient. Heh heh..... He got a pretty easy case - a PRR, some fissure sealants, maybe an extraction plus moderate gingivitis! Thank you. This entry is to honor you...Heh HEh. Well for those who are willing to avail their time for cheap and good dental services, please feel free to call me ya. I will assure a good job. Haha...The experience was though slightly intimidating but it was fun. Though I don't have the fun stuff yet like Gengfeng and Shenhua, I am happy with a simple case first......Heh....
Cheerios!
Cheerios!

"Home" by Michael Buble
I bought Michael Buble's 2nd CD and I am growing to love his voice day by day......hmmm I thought it was not as good as his first album when I did a first listening. But the CD just grew on me and his voice is just so soulful and soothing..........And he pen a little love note to his girlfriend I think at the thanks section and I thought it was really sweet........and I am not into sweet stuff like that.........The CD is not with me now. Will pen that in later days.
Oh well yesterday was Valentine's Day which is the day that I don't really love. Maybe because its too overrated and it just reminds me how bad I am when dealing with relationships.........
Study study study. Reading yonghe's blog reminded again of how much of a failure I am this year. But that is not going to deter me cos I walk by faith, knowing that this recent escapades are just turning me into a stronger person. Optimism is never a trait of mine but at least I am trying to be.
PS: I just love that we are singing more of the old songs in church again......

"The Prayer" by Andrea Bocelli
CNY is over.....well the holidays to be exact. We still have 13 days of the new year but sigh while everyone is contemplating of their fun plans tomorrow, I will be in school...sob.... But I thank God for this well needed rest and preparing me for the days ahead..........
The upcoming professional exam is going to be tough. About 4 more weeks to go and looking at the trend of my results (B- C+ C+ B- D F D F) - roughly there lol (I am laughing at my own misery.......what's new), I truly have a mountain to climb. I am saying a prayer and I believe that God will pull me through this tough period of time. And in the words of Prof Varawan Sae Lim........Keep a lookout for me cos I am the DARK HORSE!

"Remember Me This Way" by Jordan Hill
I just realised that my first post was written the year before before my reunion dinner.............Hmmmm....I just had my reunion dinner this year and as it was a sumptuous meal...........I had a bowl of hardcore bad ass concentrated shark's fin soup once again and this year we had gargantuan size prawns. This thing is really huge. It is the biggest prawn I had ever seen in my entire life. Huge! Its unimaginable!
Anyway before my way back home after school, worD haD gotten arounD that our pharmaco test results were out and of course I DiD have some anxiety set back in. This is the test that I pitted myself against if you can remember the time I went crazy. I feel like I have been playeD like a fool. You know like by telling a kiD you can have this canDy bar after he finishes his work but take that away from him in the enD.
PS: I got a D for my test if you have not realised it yet......lol......
You know what it's part and parcel of life.. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It is definitely a pity. I pitied myself. My ego is now bruised. But I will recover (Hmmm....I thought I said that the other time).
To all you people who has written me off from getting into the dean's list this year, I will be back! Haha.....
PS: Gengfeng, if you are Newcastle, I think I am Fulham or something. Haha.......But seriously speaking, we need to at least qualify for some European Cup this year.

"It's My Life" by Bon Jovi
Right.......Over the past one month I have thinking about what do I actually want to do after I graduate from dental school in 2007....Hmmm..... A lot of options weighed in......
1) Take up a post graduate course in Singapore and be a teaching staff in the faculty
Teaching has always been my childhood ambition. Actually this would be the ideal case for me. Cheaper post grad course and I will be able to teach. But the apprehension of setting myself up to another 3 years worth of crap is enough to put my childhood ambition off.
2) Take up a post graduate course in elsewhere (US preferably) and be a teaching staff in the faculty
Good stuff too...just that it is going to be way too expensive and I still got my school loan to pay up.....unless I can find a sugar mommy......
3) Settle with my BDS and teach (if it is possible)
Also an ideal situation but I think I need to specialise before I teach.....Hmmm.....Oh well
4) Settle with my BDS and be a GP
5) Settle with my BDS and be the next Peter Tay or Wilson Goh
For all you people who have no idea who Peter Tay and Wilson Goh is. They are like the dental version of Sim Wong Hoo, Elim Chew etc. I really want to be successful in life. Both layman successful and christianity defined successful. I don't want money to be the driving force for me being successful yet I must admit that I am a materialistic person. To err is human.... I am just growing as a person..... I want to drive a Lamborghini, donned myself with Hugo Boss, Armani suits, live in a bungalow, live a life of riches yet I don't know what I want.
God please provide me the path and I will follow you.

Finding Neverland
This show deserves every 5 star ratings and nominations it has gotten. I personally felt that this movie could topple my all time favourite movie. The casting was spectacular. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet did an awesome job especially Winslet. I am not embarrass to say that I teared a lot in the movie. It has full of meaning towards life and family. When Depp was telling the kids to not have any doubts when Michael was attempting to fly the kite, it struck me to recall how many times in this 2 years I have said stuff like....."I can't do it", "It's not possible", "I feel like giving up". And I do feel disgusted by myself for having doubts cos' I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And the movie scene just struck me so near and dear. The movie is awesome. Go watch it and get a new revelation in life.
There is a shuffle in Kenneth's all time favourite movies.
1. American Beauty - Basically the movie touched so much issues about religion, family values, homophobia, self esteem, virginity etc and it still went on track plus Annette Benning and Kevin Spacey blew the whole show away.
2. Finding Neverland - Teaches you about life and not to give up in times of adversities. It is the second show that made me tear till my sleeves got wet.....lol......plus Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet were phenomenal.
3. American Psycho - The only RA show on my list and the wow factor is Christian Bale and it touches so much on perfectionism, self esteem and what a person can do in his/her mind.
4. Moulin Rouge - Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. LOVE LOVE LOVE All you need is LOVE
5. Changing Lanes - The most decent Ben Affleck movie. Teaches us about the difference in society level and the effects of abusing that and not forgetting all lawyers are liars.
6. The Others - Nikki again.....plus the acting in the show......powerful
7. Lord Of The Rings Trilogy - This is pretty self explanatory.......lol...
8. Phone Booth - Tricky one....as much as people would think this is just a simple thriller movie, I feel that it teaches one the consequences of lying(of course it was slightly exaggerated) plus Colin Farrell did a great job acting as a low life, lying, arrogant, wife cheating, mistress keeping, profanities spewing scumbag.
9. The Incredibles - I really enjoyed this movie. Every character just cracks me up....Edna Mode, Dash, Bomb Voyage, Syndrome aka IncrediBoy
10. I Know What You Did Last Summer - This movie produced Ryan Phillippe (husband of Reese Witherspoon), Freddie Prinze Jr, Sarah Michelle Gellar and most importantly Jennifer Love Hewitt. I know I am biased here but you can't blame me..

"Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand
This song is courtesy of Charles. Haha......never heard of it before though. Songs are running out for me and it can only mean one thing. I am completely losing touch to the outside world. I don't even know who are hot on the music charts. Ashanti? Ashlee Simpson?? Lindsay Lohan??? Thank God I haven't lost touch in the movie world except that I have been watching more DVDs at home rather than movies in the cinemas.
Chinese New Year. What gives. The first time in my 22 years to not feel a thing at this stage of the festive holidays. I feel sucked, emotionless and devoid of all happiness but I always stand on God's Word and to have the faith to keep on pressing on.
Yesterday I attended Rev. John Bevere's first service in the church and I tell you what. It was the best service I had attended for the many years of being a christian. The feeling of God in the sermon was so strong. I always thought God can only be felt through worship and prayer. No. Yesterday marked the day I first teared in His presence during a sermon. Pastor John is a very very charismatic person. At some point of time, I felt how great is it to be him, to be able to preach the Word and to have the presence of God everywhere he goes and not to mention he is good looking for his age (don't read between the lines cos there isn't any! lol)
And wow I went home feeling so refreshed, taking the church shuttle bus and was contemplating on cleaning and shaping my stupid premolar that Dr Chng made me REDO.....but I have forgiven her...But something happened that pisses me off so bad............And I don't want to wash my dirty linen in public.......All I have to say is that having 1 vagina and 2 breasts doesn't give you the whole world! (Well I was civil though throughout the whole scenario but trust me I was this close to kicking a ruckus on the bus. This CLose.....)
To all my girl friends out there I still love you all.......and to the church people reading me blog......please don't send me for counselling.......they are just biological terms haha....... Happy chinese new year to everyone including the people in the endodontics department.............

Just saw Brandy getting Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher on TV though......
Sorry for not updating my blog..... Hmmmmm........ I am speechless..... The whole week have been really wrecked and insane for me and its not yet over and I truly understand the meaning of Redo finally.... Well I am not going to wallow myself in self pity like what I did for the pass few days. I just thank God for everyday and even though it might suck that day, everything happens for a reason........Thank you Cheryl for being my listening ear throughout the choir practice........you have been my constant ear every week.....lol.....
To the people who made me Redo this week, I forgive you.........
To the people I have neglected over the 2 years, I am sorry. School is sucking all lifeform from me and its just gonna worse. I pray to God for strength and wisdom......To my dental schoolmates.....thanks for being there for me in one way or another..........We need each other to fight the forces of evil doctors and malicious lab technicians who enjoy seeing us squirm in our pants.........well of course there will always be some exceptions
