Break my heart for what breaks Yours

This is my first post for 2012!

I just wanna say that working at St. Luke's is really an eye-opener. It really inspires me how much passion and commitment a Physiotherapist puts into studying the human anatomy and its applications in solid detail. And then, providing the best care and treatment for the patients during therapy.

In the hospital, you see many different conditions varying from minor to major and beyond its extremity. They could be common, rare and most of the time, heartbreaking to watch. It is here where I have opened my eyes and ears and heart to accept the reality of sufferings and the feeling of hope that is so tangible, so real. It is really one thing to listen to such stories and another thing to actually witness it. Having said that, what's most important is being able to let go and manage your personal emotions along the way...

There's more to learn... GO!

Oh hello, forgot to mention that McDonald's over-charged me.

& expectedly, they have given me a free meal offer for that mistake.

Just thought that it's worth mentioning since it's absolutely r.a.r.e that that would happen... anyway, thank you McDonald's.

Got the job, got the job : )

Looking forward to move on to the next level of new discoveries and opportunities and friendships. I think it's achievable.
Putting aside the challenges that I'm more or less prepared to face, let's just say bring it on? I mean this could be it. This could be the stepping stone of what lies ahead of me...

A little stressful to think so much about it actually.

Hmm...

I guess I'm done. Wanted to write more but decided that I can't commit to those words yet.

I guess I have been very contented.

Now that Youth For Causes is over... I am relieved, in fact.
It was a meaningful social enterprise experience. & the awesome part about it was working with good friends of mine :)
Putting aside the exhausting moments, it was nonetheless gratifying.

Ok, I have this very strange feeling too.
What am I to do next.

It is hard to understand. Hmm...

Anyway, only believe.

Heading the Family Day Carnival this Sunday.
A social enterprise project. Citi-YMCA Youth For Causes 2011.
Very very experiential!

Giving tuition to little kids. Not so little. Average?
Ok, Primary.
A total of 9 different kids of different ages from different walks of life and with different English grades. Realised how much effort I had to put in for the past 4 months and thinking if I did helped them improve in any way. I hope so... At least I am a teacher who gives them sweets!
;)

Thinking if I were to just concentrate on the positive and not on the pain aching madness back, I will be fine.
Mom says chicken did this to me.
Chicken meat.
Me, chicken lover.
So she says I eat too much.
So right now I will control my diet. I became officially fruity.

My lunch today consisted of 1 banana, 1 piece of papaya, 2 pieces of honeydew, 3 pieces of guava. Ha. Wondering if I could survive on these f.o.r.e.v.e.r.
Hope I don't have to. Goodness.

Well, cheer up friends! Someday you will know, and I mean really know, that you don't have to get things you want to be happy. You are blessed to be a blessing.

Ok, so my sister's 21st is coming up!
... in a super flash of 7 days 58mins as of NOW.

Thank God for her... and I have something (good) rolling up my sleeves.

I better get going!

"This is what the Lord says,: 'Your wound is incurable, your injury is beyond healing. There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you. All your allies have forgotten you; they care nothing for you. ... But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds..."

Jeremiah 30:12-14, 17

Acupuncture is just horrible. The most painful experience I have ever gone through in my life... and hopefully the most gainful.

I really love my family alot. They have been there, and always there. Even as I reflect on the past and things that I have came to realise along the way, I really have good friends, good buddies, good pals. And I don't ever want to let that go.

God is good, He made me to be a chance-taker and also a chance-giver...

You are a blessing.

Things haven't been all good, but I still thank God for His grace through it all. If you want to have an abundance of grace, you have to go through an abundance of trials. That's what I was taught.
For when I am weak, His grace is made perfectly strong.
Even when it is an expectation turned into disappointment, I think it is really all part and parcel of life to receive things we don't want. Not that we don't want it, we think we don't deserve it. But it is not like we deserve all the blessings in the world either. We ought to be so much less self-centred.
I think it is ultimately still about making good choices. Choosing LOVE. Love produces passion. And it is the passion that brings forth motivation. And then comes action. Everyone is talking about LOVE. It doesn't go out of fashion.

I'm really glad that I'm putting good thoughts in my mind, sending good thoughts to people I love and doing those good thoughts for real. We are called to be a blessing, after all.
