To Serve
S-E-R-V-E
this word came to my mind this morning. it made me think about time when i first started serving in the worship minsitry. i loved every part of serving in d worship ministry.
i vividly rmb when i was in std 6..when all i wanted was to be part of the worship team. this desire really drove me to learn playing chords with such determination that i stayed back to ask pianists to show me how they did certain stunts/tricks whic 'coloured' the song and made it so lovely.
there were times dat i'd sit for hours at the piano figuring out chords for the songs i liked. sometimes it was for the whole afternoon after school. with the cd player set on *REPEAT mode, i'd let it *STOP til i get the right chord, then i'd move on to the next chord with the *PLAY button.
then when i finally got into the worship team, yes..you can imagine the overwhelming joy.:) i still kept my first ever WORSHIP TEAM SCHEDULE with me! and every subsequent one..cos it meant so much to me. I'd highlight my name and paste it on my wall to remind me that i was on duty...though i'd have memorised the schedule by the first time i see it.
whenever i know i couldn't make it for the practice or i would be away for that weekend, i'd find replacement for it....WEEKS ahead of time...jus so i still got to serve and not miss my turn.
Those were the days..and i never stopped serving in worship ministry since then.. and i guess i never will..and never want to. :) God is merciful and gracious. i know it when i havent been practising but during the service, it always turn out alright.. jus the way God guides my hand. i may not be the greatest pianist nor keyboardist on earth or in my church, but i know my skills did not come from me.
i'm glad i still can play now. but i believe there is more to conquer when God place me in a ministry. all for Him.
i love it when i can play for God.. cos i know He's listening. :)

He knows my name..
I have a Maker
He Formed My Heart
Before even time began
My life was in hands
Chorus
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
I have a father
He calls me his own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
(chorus)
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
He Formed My Heart
Before even time began
My life was in hands
Chorus
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
I have a father
He calls me his own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
(chorus)
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call

OSCE
What happens when OSCE for Medicine and Surgery in on 21st of May and today is 16th May?
A. You try to study everything at once
B. You try to focus on what you think is important
C. You try to remember why no one informed your batch there will be OSCE since the beginning of the year - since your seniors never had one.
D. You try to guess what is in store for you in Surgery
F. You don't try anything
:P

More of You..
Has it ever crossed your mind if you've never learnt english??
weird question..
honestly, for me..i hav never given it a thought.
last saturday was my first day teaching tuition to a small group of kids in a church in Semeling.. i bet u havent heard of Semeling. :P it's an extremely small town in d outskirts of Sungai Petani. i bet u havent heard of Sungai Petani. HAHA!
it's where im currently studying in..anyway, d church here has a tuition ministry to cater to kids in primary school. the purpose was to reach out to the community thru this ministry and to be a church which sees the need of the ppl.
Boy: Lao Shiii.. shen me shi pla-ling (playing) - teacher, wat does playing mean?
Me: Playing means 'wan'.. play games, play toys, play football..
Boy: oh..pla-ling means 'wan'..
Me: pla..-ying..
Boy: pla..-ling..
Me: pla..
Boy: pla..
Me: ying...
Boy: ying...
Me: pla-ying..
Boy: pla-ling..
surprisingly, he was able to answer correctly when it comes to filling the blanks with "those" and "that".
eg. Those girls were playing under the tree.
he could hardly read the words dat followed d blanks..and yet he cud fill them in correctly. then i realised he actually looked for certain 's' alphabets in the sentence to tell whether it's plural or singular. so english was something like maths or physics..it follows formulas.
's' = many = those
no 's' = one = that
this lil boy's ignorance really moved me..how Lord? how is it like to never be able to speak english? mayb cos im a english-ed, i know no other written language other than BM and Eng. but ya..i cant imagine.
sometimes i feel i am so fortunate dat i am ignorant to the plight of others who are much less fortunate. as d sharing goes for last nite's cg, more often we have just been living for ourselves. we shut out other ppl.. we become more aware of ourselves...and it continues on as selfishness.
while ppl here are thinking where to go for a vacation; where to spend our money.. hundreds of others all over the world are starving and could only DREAM of a day where they get to eat a decent meal.
Matthew 25:35 (ff).
less of me...for more of You.

Patients.
woohoo... i jus had my 2nd patient today!
God is gracious indeed.. for every session i prayed earnestly that my patients will turn up so at least i can learn something from d session and both encounters were testimonies:
a) my first ever pt whom i have been praying for by name, (a week before i even met her) did not turn up BUT...she did call d day b4 and d receptionist arranged another patient who turned up!!
so far..he has been a very compliant pt..and im absolutely grateful for that.:)
b) my 2nd patient did not turn up today...BUT another walk-in patient was available at that moment itself..and his case was fascinating indeed.
God is a God of Providence amen.
haha...the experience of being in clinics is exhilarating; it's all you've been studying since the day u stepped into a dental course. now that i'm able to put it all into practise. no more simulators (ah sim) to fiddle with.
currently i have just managed to do oral prophylaxis - scaling with HAND instruments. *ultrasonic scalers will come later.:P
im jus thankful that amidst the 'fragrance' of oral cavities, the multitudes of debris/plaque/calculus in any given person's mouth and the moist-ness of wet saliva in the mouth, i find joy in what i do!
perhaps i have yet to face the stress which my seniors face nowadays while dealing with patients.. so i shall continue to pray dat God will grant me strength for each day; dat He wil only give me what i can handle each day.
a gllimpse of me in my scrubs..:D yes...BATA shoes all over again...!!
