Matthew 15
1Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2"Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands before they eat!"
We always think we're better than someone. It's inevitable. The proud side of us never fail to express itself. At the the foot at my Saviour's cross, i was challenged to lay my pride down again and crucify it to the cross. I was asked to finally give myself up and say, "It's all You." I have been faced with disappointments in my life again and am challenged to see it from a different perspective now. Of not being always so gloomy about circumstances but to give Him praise in ALL THINGS.
I find myself so easily finding faults in people but i fail to see the 'huge plank' in my life.
God is indeed 'mighty to save.'

What a day
I cracked an egg while grocery shopping today.
And the butcher gave us an extra 'chicken wing' when i bought all chicken leg fillet. It's funny coz Deb G always had free chicken wings when she gets a food from some stall in the food court and i would ask her how she get's it.
On a more serious note, I was so close going for my first ever job interview. Attended a careers expo at the Adelaide Convention Centre yesterday and stumbled upon officials from the National Health Dept of Singapore. They were recruiting people from Allied Health disciplines and well, one thing led to another and next thing you know, i signed up for an interview with the chief pharmacist of National University Hospital of Singapore. They said they were going to call to arrange the time and all. There i was eagerly waiting for that precious phone call. It didn't come.
When i checked my inbox in the evening, there was an email from them saying that my interview was at 2.45 pm. It was 3.45 pm already.
haha.
God speaks?
Oh well. back to podcasting. hehe

Connected. . . finally
After what seems like ages, i finally have internet at home. What an achievement. Haha.
But then again, it couldn't come at a better time.
Assessments coming up. How exciting. LOL. Medication management test tomorrow. Pharmacy practise test on Wednesday. Ethics paper on 14 April and Applied Pharmacotherapeutics 400 on 16 April.
The past few weeks seems to have just past by just like that. crrrraaazzzzzyyyyy.
On a lighter note, i have allowed myself to indulge in some Podcasting. Haha. It's been radical. You know you're living in the 21st century when you're listening to sermons and Bible audios through podcasting and lectures through lecture audios.
How amazing it is to know that God is moving and working.
Wow.

Heatwave
We've been having the high 30's for the past few days, already hit 40's at some areas of Adelaide.
Yes, it's celcius and it's supposed to be autumn now. How interesting.
Busy busy busy. Workload piling up. New sem, new year, new opportunities, new beginnings.
Wait, it's already March. Haha. Well, better late than never. Finals coming up. Mark down April 14 and 16.

Missing items
I'm holding on to hope.
I've realised that i'm missing certain items and i do hope they find their way back to me.
Item #1 Multi socket adaptor
Item#2 Magical slow cooker-My mum bought it for me.
Item#3 A navy greyish collar t-shirt that my aunt got me-it has like a small lil birdy logo on
the left side of the chest.
So please, if anyone knows where is it. Pls let me know. I really really want them back.
Thank you.
Funny thing is, i wake up everyday remembering things that i'm missing. I won't be surprised if i've got a box of things somewhere out there. Sobs sobs.
Temperature's rising. . . .literally. My feet and hands have never been so sweaty. Yucks.
Haha.

Thoughts
Just watched 'Remember the titans' again with the boys. Got me thinking. I have been blessed with the opportunity to watch some good movies recently. 'A Beautiful Mind' gave so many insights to what true love is and the importance of finding the right one. 'Facing the Giants' reminded us of how we should never ever NOT trust Him. And now, 'Titans' brought home another lesson.
It's a movie that i will never ever get sick of watching. I've watched it a couple of times already.
One of the characters Gerry Bertier(i googled his name) was involved in a car accident and was paralyzed from the waist down. He went on to become a Paralympic champion. I saw some similarities there.
What hit me was how he was thinking about paralympics from his hospital bed already. He moved on from his injury and didn't dwell on what had happened.
I won't lie. I still ask God today why.
I wish i could turned back time and well avoid that injury.
Football now seems to be an illusive dream. Not only football, competitive plays or just running it out and jumping around.
Should i still cling on to a Hope or learn to move on?
I wonder. .

Denial?
I am a final year pharmacy student? Wow. I just realised that today.
How interesting.
I am totally not prepared yet but then again, when are we really prepared? hmm. . .i think i'm too young to enter the workforce. I reckon my maturity haven't caught up with all them working people yet.
I know some people are going to tell me, 'But, hey, look, there are ppl who are younger than you are already into all this adult-y stuffs.' But hey, that's them and i'm me.
I dream a lot. Mum says i like to build castles in the air. I like to sometimes imagine myself 5 years down the road. Mind you, it dosen't mean that i have high ambitions. My dream is 2-fold, to play football again, hopefully soon (before this, it was to play for Man Utd) and to marry a rich wife and be a house husband.
Yea, ppl make fun of me sometimes. Haha, who dosent? Medical people say that the first one can be striked off already. I just tell them, 'Well, my God is bigger than that.' He can heal me, the question is whether its His will or not.
All this talk about PR and where to work and stuffs. Sighs, why cant live be much easier than this? haha. Then again, do i really want to do this druggie stuff all my live? Live's gotta be more than that. Oh wait, there is. *grins*
I'm calling Sir Alex Ferguson now.
LOL.
What i really would like to see is a the realization among people that our lives are not our own, we belong to Someone greater. Now, that, my friend, that is something worth fighting for and looking forward to.
