think God really spoke to me in His own way today. :)
listening to some random songs online today, and suddenly chanced upon one of my fav christian songs that i've been looking forever for and never managed to find until now. :)
Won't You Lord,
Take a look at our hands,
Everything we have,
Use it for Your plans,
Won't You Lord,
Take a look at our hearts,
Mould it, Refine it,
As You set us apart.
We want to run to the altar,
And catch the fire,
To stand in the gap,
Between the living and the dead,
Give us a heart of compassion,
For a world without vision,
We will make a difference,
Bringing hope to our land.
And it really just rejuvenated me, reminding me that all the studying and all the work we're all putting in now, really is all for His plan, and so it's all worth it, no matter how tiring it sometimes can be. reminding me of my passion at the start of medicine, and renewing it. and it's also really His grace that brought me through some difficulties i was facing a short while back, when i was feeling rather low all the time, and one day, He really just opened my heart and eyes to what i had to get out of that and feel happy and fulfilled again. really very very grateful to God for answering my prayers and bringing me through that, and for loving me enough to help me through everything. and now everything has taken on a bright and rosy glow, and there's no stress and i think i'm finally learning to just try my best and put the rest in His hands. finally :)

ortho posting!
back at AH! i really love the AH environment, the fact that everybody knows everybody :) ortho posting has been better than expected, but i think that's really because the doctors have gone all out to make us feel at home and at ease with them. esp through their daily invitations to join them for breakfast at the canteen haha :) and clinics are quite fun too :) went for 4 different clinics under 4 different doctors, and all of them have been enjoyable experiences, esp the one where the MO let me do the consultation for the patient! hurhur somehow i still get a kick from playing doctor at this point in time...hope i still feel this way 2 and a half years down the road :) night call the other day was uneventful, much to winston's relief hurhur, and thanks to the on-call team, i found a new eating place just down the road with rather promising stalls (esp the bbq chicken wings yaaaay!)
and of cos back to alexandra village food! eating the chicken rice and beef hor fun the other day really brought back such wonderful memories of the erle-lings at AV almost everyday. giving away the remnants of my hor fun the other day to ivan was reminiscent of the many times i "donated" my remaining food to jeremy hurhur...along with the 3 other girls who did the same *grinses* wah miss seeing marc and jeremy devour food like there's no tomorrow :)
haha sighs i really like my current cg, but i still miss CG 17 a whole lot! really miss weixin's innocence, sheryl's sweetness, liwei's insults, ronnie's brand of humour, jeremy's spirituality and marc's optimism. and of cos prof erle himself, who really helped made our cg bond so much stronger hurhur...can't wait to start tutorials with you guys again...praying for the day to come sooner!!! :)
and missing medicine of course. sighs...there's just this strange little ache in my heart all the time when i'm in the wards trying to clerk the ortho patients. cos at the back of my mind, i'm still thinking about the medicine posting, and how much i wanna do medicine. still having some withdrawal symptoms from not doing all the medicine stuff...just the other day, a patient came in with numbness from T5 level downwards on one side of his body, and a surge of adrenaline just went through me cos it was just so reminiscent of medicine! and each time i have to do the neurological examination on a ortho patient, it just feels right all over again. still, ortho's been really quite good esp since learning new stuff is always fun :) haha just comparatively not i guess..eeeeks i think medicine has spoilt me for other postings! :S
