"Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you." - William Arthur Ward

Therapy~
1st and foremost- I thank God for MY PINK ANGEL PRINCESS (you know who you are!!) who has written a 6000+ letter to me and its still not done! next in line is... SUE CHA CHA, my everlasting friend who's life encourages me to HOPE, and who's prayers i know will make a difference. not forgetting, MISS JEAN SOO (and i hope ud be happy when u read this!) for being a steadfast flatmate, always ready to listen to me and offer me.... oranges?
let me tell you what you can get me if u want to make me REALLY happy:
whenever you visit town, please get me a box of 8 mini cookies from "Millies"- i like white chocolate, cherry, triple chocolate, ginger, toffee popcorn, rainbow, strawberry chocolate. I dislike: peanut with chocolate, oatmeal and raisin, cranberry and white chocolate or any other berries with it.
if you;re broke, a muffin would be nice!- NO triple chocolate or blueberry please.
-this is comfort food a girl needs-
if you've got more money, you could sponsor a trip i make to "Accesorize" or "mango" or "zara". but obviously, you dont. unless you're my daddy-who actually might not sponsor me too,sigh. mummy is still the best.
did i mention?- i really like the prawn and chicken soup with spinach noodles thing i had for dinner. its really my cup of tea.that flat is my cup of tea.
i hate PBL esp when they are on the kidneys- BUT i feel psyched up to mug hard- so i can be the independent kick ass high flyer woman that everyone is scared of. there's nothing to achieve now anyway. i dont want to kill patients- that sounds more PC.
sigh. sigh. i need the gym to get some power pack arms and tummy. but im still sick.chronic cough.
for once, i appreciate my family doc who gives me antibiotics asap.
i remember watching the movie "Left behind" when i was 16- just before i sat for my Os. and i remember it was so sad. do u know how scary, and how terribly smashing it is to have to leave someone you love behind? and i dislike it when im being forced to. unless you tell me you're catching up. ohana- no one gets left behind.
it is not in sarah's dictionary and memory to leave someone she loves behind.
also, im into rainbows recently. i want rainbow cookies, rainbow icecream, rainbow earrings, rainbow tee shirts, rainbow belts... a real rainbow. all of which i have. None.
ive never realised sleeping was so nice till this week. i suddenly feel like ive finally understand 1/2 of what my sister is all about- i hope you;re reading this!
sigh. whats the point of going somewhere when you know half of them wont be there when you're back? im not satisfied with 4/5!
daddy! stop spelling it as YAP. its YUP.
oh, actually if you really wanna be a good friend and make me happy people, u dun have to spend money. please just PRAY. that means so much more to me than anything else. because i believe prayers, and i say SSSS.. make a whole lot of a difference, wun you agree with me?:)so ask me if you bother enough.
our hearts (n im speaking to all ladies) are the most important part of our entire being, please guard it with all your might.
oh! dont think i dunno where i got that extra 20 pound from. take it back or you'll find 6 tubs of B&Js outside your door.
they always say, "you're still so young..."i hate that cliche sometimes.. maybe cause i tend to be over eager about living life- and running a step ahead of myself, my youth.. maybe thats why i get into this much trouble.but ive learnt and i really agree.
im still so young. We are still so, so young. there's so much ahead of us. so many opportunities.. there;s no rush, isnt it? BUT having said that, life is short.
and you;ve only got one, on this earth.
Live it.
i shall end with this quote from Grey's Anatomy, "Pain is there for a reason...."
- God has His eternal purpose. And it is always the BEST for us. never to harm us, nor anyone, really..when we can finally embrace this, that we start to live.
- ill tell u why pain is needed in the human body when get to my special study module in feb.
love hurts, but its worth it. love hurts, only for a while.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord.
"PLans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You wil seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
"I will be found by you," declares the Lord,
"and I will bring you back from captivity."
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord.
"PLans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You wil seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
"I will be found by you," declares the Lord,
"and I will bring you back from captivity."

*Ouch*
a brand new start, indeed.
might possibly be the most trying year ive ever had, my family and my loved ones ever had.
did i mention? ive never felt so persecuted for my faith, in my entire 20 years living?
and it really strikes me hard- its worse when it comes from people you genuinely care for. *ouch ouch ouch*
BUT, on the contrary, i feel.. tougher..
i feel i want to be stronger.
shattered and dismayed, but undefeated.
"He who is in you is greater than he who is in this world."
never will be defeated, too bad.
because my Lord has already won the victory many many years ago..
BUT i was really pondering about what people think about God, and christianity.. or simply god.
see, maybe the idea of a god to some, is that he or she or it.. grants everything the seeker asks for. and that everything that comes out of this seeking and worshipping must be good, positive, in the interest of him/her.
On the contrary, christians are not spared the misery that normal people go through. No, we dont get rich overnight, we dont ace every single exams we sit for, and definately no, we dont always get hot guys and pretty girls and our other halfs falling right unto our laps. we dont always get what we want. and we feel pain, disappointment, anger, sadness.. just like a human would.
so, whats the difference then? what use is it in worshipping and following such a God? To me, Jesus Christ is my source of hope. He doesnt take away the pain that life brings, not all of it, but He carries me when im down, he walks with me, he shares my load. seriously, we all do know that life is never perfect for people right? by that i mean, people may seem to be happy and have everything, on the outside, but it doesnt mean no one is free from difficulties? honestly... truthfully.. dont you think everybody gets hit by that sadness and emptiness and exasperration, at least once in their lifetime?
we all need hope, dont we? we all need a love that never fails, never disappoints, always lasts forever..
perhaps, to some it seems like utter foolishness believing in a man, who died on a cross. who was crucified and hung on a tree- "isnt that the utmost sign of weakness and shame?" you may ask.. isnt that so foolish that our entire faith is centred upon a man who did this???
allow me to say, that this man hung and died, for He had love so great for this world, for us. he died for us. and the best part, is this.. He rose on the 3rd day, and is ressurected in heaven now. he conquered death on the cross- and gained victory over all others. Not weak, definately not weak at all. its not foolishness, its humility and power. Power.
im beginning to become more aware of the attitudes and thoughts of people towards the church and christ. shocking and painful sometimes to hear how misunderstooded we may be. yeah, maybe we had our wrongs as well... we as a church had not been united, been the most lovng and kind people to our neighbours.. in many ways, we have not done our best to be people that honour Him- so really, its hard to say that its their fault. we all need to work harder...
maybe they just dont know yet. maybe it takes a time.. maybe this, maybe that.
But we do know it is God's will for everyone to turn to Him. and He will always be with us even as we go and reach out..
its a great comfort at this point in time, trusting He is here with us.
the more difficult things get, the more i feel challenged to trust, and i hope you will too.
God is never too early, or too late, He is always on time.
But we gotta trust.. just trust.. and do our part by abiding in Him.
hard core resistance and obstacles will definately come. *ouch ouch* , let us not be naive, they will definately come. BUT they will not last forever. The Lord will deliver us to that promised land, that day.. you and i both will die for, will come.
You told me God is faithful, He is.
The day will come when we will be glorified.
dont stop reaching for it even though it seems far.
because what seems far may actually be just round the corner.
Take heart, our God Almighty is watching over us every step of the way.

Watching the sunrise from a Hill top
-2007-
its a brand new start to things i always have been doing-sounds ironic. but what i mean is we all got a new chance, a new hope to do things we were always doing better; to live life as it should be, better.
i am currently in the midst of shifting to my new place @
Flat 1/1, 50 Carfrae Street, Yorkhill, Glasgow G3 8SS
and getting NTL broadband on the way:)- PLease God let it be soon!
school's starting next monday on the 8th of june- say hello to cardiology and respiratory medicine for Block 9. school has already begun for yr 3s and above and dentistry.
im rather excited about school. its prob gonna be quite hectic again, also considering tt i gotta walk a further distance to school now, but i do have hopes of doing better, working harder and all..
my first christmas away form home was an experience indeed- updates coming soon!
it was a myraid of emotions though- at certain points happy and really blissful, at some jealous and disappointed and bored. not having a permanent roof over my head meant having to shift places a couple of times, putting up at at friends place etc. i had wished for a more stable life in that sense, somewhere i can settle down and concentrate on other things in life. for a moment, i felt so envious of people who have their own homes here and their fellow tenants who have a permanent place to stay for the next 4/5 years.. andi wondered why i cant be as lucky as them. even people who havent bought flats and are renting seem to stay put wherever they are- but i guess, God always has betetr plans. Maybe, He wants me to be preapred for a life of a vagrant! haha.. IM serious! wells, i guess all these moving house experiences will come to good use in futuree..
lastly, ive resoluted to make fresh, beautiful changes to my lifestyle-known only to a special few:)heh i hope it works out. also waiting for an interview from NHS for a weekend part time phlebotomist job at Gartnavel hosp. pls pray for me if u could?thanks! hope everyone at home has a better year too. and i hope many more of us will either grow closer to God or come to accept Him as your personal saviour. we always need tt precious hope in our lives, dun we?
"As we start the new year, I thank you for a new begginning. A begginning where new things can happen and old things might take a change and the past not be forgotten but be remembered and help to remind us of things that have strengthen us and of things that have brought us down such that we may use these to help make us better people of your kingdom."- quoted from a humble one. God Bless You.
