H is for Happiness and Honor
In the end after some pep talk and decision making, I am still heading to Raleigh in North Carolina this coming September for a student exchange programme. I am really happy about it. This will be my first trip alone with my friends to somewhere so far and I really can't wait. Haha.
This coming Festival of Praise, I will be singing on stage in the choir alongside the biggest christian band to date - Hillsong. It is something I never imagine doing and I am glad to have the opportunity to share the stage and presence of God.

Justice and Judges
Well..this week has been a spirit filled week for me......Just came back from service pledging to the work of a new building and right before that an overnight prayer meeting and choir practice.
That was my first overnight prayer meeting ever since the time I stood in City Harvest and I truly enjoyed it. Though there were times where I went into sporadic sessions of quietness but generally I prayed like I never prayed before. Kudos to Cheng How, Cheryl and Qiwei too for sustaining till 5 am.
Prayer meeting started off with a short little pep talk by Pastor Kong on the issue of the NKF saga. And the words he said struck me so deeply. It is so easy to kick someone in the gut when he is down but it is so hard to stretch out a hand and lift that person up. Don't get me wrong, I do not condone the actions of TT Durrai (sp?). But who am I to judge him for being a bad person. Am I God? Am I more righteous than him? I am a person of sins too. I am not perfect. Through his "actions", he did aid a lot of kidney patients and what have I done besides giving up seats in the train.
This lesson has taught me to look at myself in the mirror before judging a person. Yes he did wrong but I will not condemn him as a person.
Luke 6:37-42
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

A negative
I am back from cell group and finally met up with a long lost member....not exactly long lost but I just haven't seen her for quite a while. She said my blog is full of negativity...Well.....I try to be as positive as I can.......But all of us have thresholds....haha....mine is apparently more short fused......
Been busy with church these few days. Had bible study yesterday at YMCA.....cg today, choir practice and prayer meeting tomorrow and the big building fund pledge on saturday. But at the end of the day it is all good cos, it is good to be busy for God.
Well the dental students us went for a little excursion today to Gan Eng Seng Primary and Outram Secondary to witness the school dental services provided there. Gan Eng Seng was really nostalgic....I miss the days when I go around playing Pepsi Cola, Catching etc....and it further substantiate the fact that I want children! 4 to be exact ..... haha.....We met up with Dr. Edelweis and Dr Sapphire at Outram and it is nice to see familiar faces....and to see them really showed me the light at the end of the tunnel...I really want to get out of dental school badly and I needed the motivation.
Someone keeps asking really awkward and silly questions...lol

I give my life to the Potter's hand
Week one in school is over......well as usual we are the only beings in NUS. Year 3. I am officially a year 3 dental student. I feel that I have come a long way and God has been guiding me through this whole entire time.....I would not be able to do this without Him.
When I look back, I saw myself introducing myself to a bunch of strangers during the orientation. Carrying Anqi and twirling her around, Painting myself to a Jack Nicholson lookalike in Batman, Jonathan conducting our dental anthem, Void losing every single game and challenge (What do you know? Void actually means something in dentistry....lol). Those were the days and it seems so yesterday. It seems only yesterday but the journey is an arduous and long one. I am writing as if I am graduating tomorrow huh. I wish that that would be the case. Frankly, the work in school is wearing me down and I am only relying on God for His strength and guidance.
To dennis: I know you have gotten a lot of this but I want to encourage you and praise you for your courage. I will probably not accept the news with a sound mind.

why d'ya sing hallelujah if it means nothin' to ya
School sucks.....sucks.....sucks......period!
Received a mail from one of my junior and I got a shocked of my life.....The juniors are going to reuse every single crap (down to the propsal and even the station masters...lol...) the team and I thought of for last year's orientation for this year's. We spent countless hours, nights and our precious holidays racking our already mutilated brains to make it a successful event. I mean sure go reuse the games but I just have a wierd sensation like I have been cheated or betrayed....lol...
Anyways, maybe they attached the wrong files or something....Oh well there are more things to worry than that like world peace.....

OK pardon me as I am now experiencing a wave of sudden depression. In 7 hours time, I will have to wake up and go back to the shithole that I was in 3 weeks back. I am angry, disgusted, frustrated and speechless...........
PS: I am no longer doing song titles.....
