omg gluttony.

i am a pp now.. =(
had lunch at the white rabbit with sinni! the mac & cheese was so sinful and overflowing in fats but mmm.. =) $9 only! cause it was sans truffles. And i didn't even finish it. hurhur. also ate baked alaska there for the 1st time in my life.. yums.

after some post-prandial drowsiness at home and haematemesis at home over renal patho, i went to joo chiat for my dessert dinner but ughh.. they ran out of cakes.. so this was all we got.

i will return one day to kill all their desserts! fighting!

thunder tea rice stall located near obolo that carol insisted on going to! and in her words.. you must add the 'vile pungent green soup to the rice.. i love it!'. this comment was followed by many weird stares...

say hello to jihoo!
jihoo will be with me every single moment of every single day. <3 woohoo! my own personal firefighter!

i've had questions without answers
i've known sorrow, i have known pain
but there's one thing, that i'll cling to
You are faithful, Jesus You're true

when hope is lost, I'll call You Saviour
when pain surrounds, I'll call You Healer
When silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

In the lone hour of my sorrow
through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me, and sustain me
My defender forevermore

when the laughter fails to comfort
when my heart aches Lord are you there?
when confusion is all around me
and the darkness is my closest friend

still i'll praise You
Jesus, praise You.

such a hard song to sing. but this will be my song one day.

on days like these..

today was proof of how 1 single bad decision in the morning can lead to a lifetime of immense angst and regret...

nomnomnom.

can't help but feel overwhelmed these days.
but i think it's quite amazing that my recent devotionals seem to speak straight into my heart.

Jesus invites all burdened individuals to come to Him for rest, yet so often we misunderstand what He is offering. When stresses and problems weigh us down, the most natural response is to ask God for relief: "Lord, I can't carry this anymore. I'm going to leave it here with you." Having dumped the burden like a bag of garbage, we walk away but remained unchanged inside.

God doesn't operate that way. Christ's invitation is to join Him in the yoke so you can walk and work together. He doesn't want just your burden; He wants you! The yoke of Christ is a symbol of discipleship, characterized by submission and obedience to Him. God's goal isn't simply to give relief by removing a weighty trial or affliction; He longs to draw you to Himself in a close and trusting relationship. Those who take Him up on His offer will be transformed and won't ever return to their old ways.

The process of lightening the load begins with learning to know and understand the Lord. The burden is not necessarily removed, but our thoughts and responses are changed as we begin to love Him, trust Him, believe His promises, and rely on His power. Then, as the weight of the affliction shifts from our shoulders to His, we will discover relief, although the situation may remain unchanged.

Being yoked with Christ results in rest for your soul. Life's pressures may not lessen, but if you are intimately linked with Jesus, your soul is free from churning anxiety, and His peace is ruling in your heart. Jump into His yoke. You have nothing to lose--except your weariness--and much to gain.

PS
i love you lots buin!

so pretty

^22-24God's loyal love couldn't have run out,
   his merciful love couldn't have dried up.
They're created new every morning.
   How great your faithfulness!
I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over).
   He's all I've got left.

^25-27God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits,
   to the woman who diligently seeks.
It's a good thing to quietly hope,
   quietly hope for help from God.
It's a good thing when you're young
   to stick it out through the hard times.

^28-30When life is heavy and hard to take,
   go off by yourself. Enter the silence.
Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions:
   Wait for hope to appear.
Don't run from trouble. Take it full-face.
   The "worst" is never the worst.

^31-33Why? Because the Master won't ever
   walk out and fail to return.
If he works severely, he also works tenderly.
   His stockpiles of loyal love are immense.
He takes no pleasure in making life hard,
   in throwing roadblocks in the way:

i wish i could stop thinking of why and move on to what.

fishbone

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:34:39 GMT

while trying to cough out an errant fishbone from my oropharynx...

i had terrifying visions of the fishbone tracking down my oesophagus, leaving its unkind mark on opposing ends, and eventually piercing my left atrium and breaking my heart.

always imagined i would die quicker with much less pain.
ouch.

taken from abi's blog

"God’s redemption plan is already in effect. It’s not for ‘someday when,’ it’s for right now, in this moment. Even when the worst is happening, the seeds of its undoing are already sown. In fact, they were sown the day the body of Jesus, like a seed himself, was laid in the ground. What took root on Easter is the undoing of the curse, and it is flowering all around us if we have eyes to see it.” --Jason Gray

God, give me the eyes to see.

tragedy?

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 00:25:05 GMT

A couple took early retirement from their jobs in the Northeast 5 years ago when he was 59 and she was 51. Now they live in Punta Gorda, Florida, where they cruise on their 30-foot trawler, play softball and collect shells.

time to do some thinking patty.

seriously... everyone should just be as cute as *******

one last one.

this swine flu 'holiday' really just gets better & better.. until it stops.. which is today.
while practically everyone i know has been complaining and cursing MOH for barring us from the wards, i on the other hand, think it’s the best break ever - a sentiment that is definitely not shared outside of smurfland. I feel almost terrified of revealing my delight in fear of becoming a pariah..

i have grown far too accustomed this alternate lifestyle... way too accustomed to
- waking up late & sleeping late without my eyes bulging out of their sockets nor my brain crying out in agony...
- realising that the only reason why i'm tired is from walking down the orchard stretch one too many a time...
- being able to hang out with friends without feeling a twinge of guilt
oh happy days... i will miss you. but i will be back in 3 weeks time.

but nothing can mar my happiness today! efficient efficient efficient!

session with mr harvey to learn all about his heart sounds

queensway to engrave my steth

& my pretty new shelf from ikea! whee!
i have decided that men are absolutely essential in building things. and that while i really love ikea, and buying furniture from them is an absolutely joy & i could spend the entire day there, i would NOT enjoy the whole month i would require in order to build everything.

the realities of life lurk around the corner and now i realise i have been naive in many ways in the past.
they seem like they are causes for worry but somehow, instead of diving into a whirlpool of worry, i find myself peaceful and hopeful. trusting.

certainly we are not meant to live life on our own.

i feel like i ate an entire cow this afternoon.

oh june... won't you hasten your footsteps?
