James' masterpiece

I'm meant to post this up AGESSSSSSS ago, but it always slipped my mind! Anyway, presenting to you, James' very own Harbour Bridge of Auckland!!!!!! (See, he loves Auckland so much.. Unlike Dunedin. LOL)

I heard that his other friend (who is also from Auckland) made the Sky Tower of Auckland! LOL, so they have a miniature Auckland right by their side.. Awwwww, how sweet.. I think his Harbour Bridge is about the size of my palm!

And now, the real thing...

Harbour Bridge!
Yay! everytime I'm on it, I know I'm either going to town for shopping, or going back to James' place for YUMMY dinnerrr. I miss Auckland!!

And Sky Tower!

I went up there once, and the view is magnificant at nighttt!

So ya, that's what they do at SCHOOL! Hehe, nah, he makes other stuff too, like the necklace he made for me last year ROFLLLLLLLLL. Kidding. He's in Dental Technology, and he needs to practice using the materials, so making stuff like this is good for him! Haha!

He left his miniature Harbour Bridge in the lab cos' according to him, it's the safest place already. Hahaha. Besides, it looks better with the Sky Tower next to it! (:

Cute-ness.

OUT!

The paranoid freakkk is doing...

...GREAT! :D Like what everyone says, it's the rainbow/sun shine after the rain!

I'm so glad this week's over, even though it was a looong week break and I only needed to be at the hospital for 3 days.. And you guys know why from the crazy posts I wrote a few days back.. Man, I can get pretty stressed sometimes aye! Need to take a chill pill sometimes, haha. (:

The church had its 12th year anniversary celebration today! We had an ENORMOUS cake which I believe was from Dessert Room (YEAH, the same place James bought my birthday cake from!), and free lunch cooked by the aunties of the church. Hahaha. The founder of the church, Pastor Siew, was there to give a sermon as well, and as usual, we all get tickled by the little songs he came up with, and the jokes he makes.. It was great having him around.

The pastor is one of many others in the world who gave their life to evangelising, helping the sick and poor, starting up new churches and so much more. Their contribution to the Christian community is so precious, and very much adored by our loving Father. We may think that we aren't as great as those evangelists who risk their lives to spread the gospel, because we merely help out at church, occasionally pray for a sick friend, or just working/studying.. But as long as we know that we are all serving the Lord with the right purpose, He knows that you are still doing an awesome job!

I google-d one of Pastor Siew's songs and someone ACTUALLY blogged about it! HAHA! Okay, I'll copy and paste it here. You gotta sing this song with the tune from the "1 2 3 4 5 6 7, 我的朋友在哪里？在那里，在那里，我的朋友在那里!" song. If you want to rap it that's fine too. It's in Mandarin and it's called the zero zero song (〇〇歌) LOL.

The main idea of this song is that life is GOOD with God. Without God, we're nothing, or zero. Pastor Siew's equation for this is: GOOD - GOD = O. And when we do believe in God, we have to put him first before everything else, otherwise we're nowhere better than nothing.

0再加0还是0
不分加減或除乘
算來算去都是0
加多一點也不能
(000000000)

若在0前加個1
就有大大的差別
後邊0位越加多
數目越來越多
(1000000000)

請問前邊1是誰
原來正指主耶稣
虛空加上祂充滿
缺乏隨時變有餘

切記1字要在前
千萬莫放後邊
耶稣若非居首位
00照舊不值錢
(0000000001)

It's cute how he came up with this song, it's really helpful, and also cute! Hope you found that interesting too, hehe.

OUT!

Jess..

Jess needs to get a grip of herself.

Jess just missed a Neurology Outpatient Clinic this morning (unintentionally...), having menstrual cramps since this morning, neck ache after being thrown onto the couch by that certain strong guy (nothing dodgy happened, don't get your hopes too high. only a sore neck was what i got), still the dull ache in my leg and arm.. And now, diarrhoea for no apparent reason too.......

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. The only thing worrying me now is not even my health, but the missed OP clinic. ):

Brb. Toilet time.


Back. That was my 3rd time to the toilet since 11am. It's 12:32 now.. I'm wondering if there's an association between diarrhoea and menstruation, because I've had bouts of diarrhoea for a few times when I was having my periods, especially on the 1st few days.. This is worth researching on.. Unless I find out that this is yet another coincidental finding.. Of me eating bad food during the days leading to my 1st day of period. Hmmm..

Jess is really sick now.. She can hardly finish typing this sentence without feeling thrashy. The toilet bowl's her best friend now.. ): So sorry about the sad posts recently.. It's only during these times when just typing everything out will make me feel better..

KIASU.

Am I like what Mum say about me: Kiasu?


4am Tuesday morning: I dreamt I was cutting someone's left off (!!!!) for no apparent reason, and I woke up holding onto a leg, thinking it wasn't mine I kept shaking it off trying to get it away from me. James was awoken by my screaming and saw me kicking my right leg while I was crying. I was totally blank. My right leg really felt like it wasn't mine.. I guess I was still semi-conscious and still living my dream (HURHUR). He shook me to get me thinking straight, until I realised my leg felt sooooooo 酸 - like a dull achy feeling which was SO UNCOMFORTABLE. I didn't sleep well the whole night, so did James who woke up at 4am by a mad woman screaming her head off. (and thus was late for his morning appointment with the church people)

Tuesday morning and noon: Dull achy pain still there.. Wondered if it was the way I slept, because the only 'sport' I did the previous day was Wii Sports at Lyd's.. If you think that's enough to cause me my pain for more than 3 days, then yeah, it's Wii's fault. Had lunch with Lyds and was still bothered by it but hoped it would go away soon..

Tuesday 3+pm: Was trying to finish off my assignment on the computer when my right arm started tingling and had the same dull achy feeling. Then my lips started feeling tingly.

OMGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What was happening to me..? All the terrible possibilities started running across my mind.. I txted James who was at Gore by then, and he replied, "去看医生". Because it was Otago Anniversary, Student Health was closed and so I went to Urgent Doc. As I walked to Urgent Doc, I kept thinking I had a nerve problem.. Did Ah Ma have this? Did anyone else in my family have this? I'm only 21, do I have a stroke? Do I have some upper motor neuron lesion? Do I have a brain haemorrhage..? DO I HAVE A BRAIN TUMOUR? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm only 21 I don't wanna get my life shortened...... I started tearing as I thought of all this RUBBISH.

Txted Lyds and she rushed to the doc to accompany me. (OH MAN THE LIB ALARM JUST RANG AND IT STARTLED ME I JUMPED OFF MY SEAT.. ahem. pardon me.) After I explained to the doc what happened to me, she did a neurological exam on me. There was definitely decreased sensation and motor function on my right side (esp. hand), BUT.....

DOC SAID IT WAS JUST MUSCULAR... Coincidentally both muscles of right leg and right hand were sore at the same time! Yeah! SO COINCIDENTAL, RIGHT? Sleeping on my right side at night, and writing and clicking the mouse with my right hand.. (duh.) At first I wasn't convinced, but after that I thought about it and guessed the doc was just right.. I was totally freaked out lah. The doc found out I'm a med student, and started laughing.. And told me that every med student, at one point of their life, would just think that they have a brain tumour/stroke at age 21 (that's ME)/gonna die at age 38 of a heart attack.

So I spent 70bucks at Urgent Doc............. For consultation, and of course, emotional comfort.

Txted Mum about spending 70 bucks at the doctor, and she called back almost immediately. First thing she said: "Wah, why so kiasu?"

=="


I'm just freaked out these days. Everything that happened. SERIOUSLY. Need a breather!!!

I really need to thank Lyds this time. If it wasn't for her I think I'd be diagnosing myself with the weirdest and longest syndrome you can find in a medical textbook.

P.S. Yes James, you were mentioned up there.

P.P.S Just in case you all think you're reading a blog that belongs to someone faceless, there you go, a photo taken on Saturday.. Before playing Wii..


Yes, I know, my hair's longer now, and uglier too. Lol. Who cares, I'm going back to Singapore to cut my hair again! :D

OUT!

你是我永远的救主

Happy Easter, everyone!

今天是复活节 (Easter), the day when the Lord Jesus Christ rose again, after He was brutally beaten and then nailed on the cross, and died for all of us.

This video was shown on Good Friday at church (means I'm 2 days late haha), and it shows a few snapshots of the movie Passion of The Christ. You may want to watch it and fully understand the meaning of Good Friday and Easter.

Enjoy!

An incident I'll NEVER forget.

HI ALL!

I know I've been so bad with updating my blog, but tada! I'm here again. (:

I guess you guys must be pretty sick of listening to me talking about my med school life, but just fyo, I just started on Oncology run this morning! Hopefully I'll gain lots from this run.

Things were pretty cruisy until everyone became psyched about handing up their write ups before our run ends, and it freaked me out so much I didn't spend adequate time with my mum and brother. Yes, they came to visit me for a week!

The week went just like any other visits, until something crazy happened on the day they left (which was yesterday)! While we were preparing to leave for the airport (at about 6:15), suddenly a Kiwi guy walked out of my sister's room!!! He was filthy, and had blood stains all over his body!!!! OMG, RIGHT?!?! I TOTALLY FROZE. My first thought was: JANICE!!!!

He was stunned to see us and was trying to catch his breath while apologizing for breaking into our house. He said he was trying to RUN AWAY FROM A MONGREL MOB and has been running for the past hour! He broke in through my sister's window (OMG RITE!) and all he wanted was to use the PHONE to call the police! It was just freaking scary! I quickly rushed into my sister's room to check if she was okay, and THANKFULLY, she was still peacefully asleep, and didn't even know that a man just climbed through her window INTO HER ROOM.

And so after all the drama-mama, he quickly fled to hide from that 'mongrel mob' after making the call to the police. And we were all left stunned. 0.0 Nothing was stolen from Janice's room. What was left was his blood stains and dirty foot prints on her carpet.

James was pretty upset about the whole incident, as he kept warning us about how dangerous it'll be to leave our windows open, especially at night! And thankfully, it wasn't a robber or rapist or whatever bad person this time.. If it was... We're DEAD MEAT.

James also asked me a really serious and important question: What if the blood stain on the man wasn't his?

It was just a freaking scary incident lah. I'm so gonna leave my windows closed the whole time, at least for this week.


FREAKYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.


This world really ain't safe at all... Haha..


On a lighter note, Mum says I can go back to SIngapore in JUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYY~!! :D Will blog more soon.. Hopefully with photos. (:

Bye!

Yael Naim - New Soul

This is the song that makes me stop whatever I was doing, have that awesomest feeling whilst enjoying the melody, for the most of last week.

Familiar song? It's from Apple MacBook Air advert. (:

The song just makes my mood so much better. Imagine a tired med student coming home after a long day at the hospital, and having to cook dinner right after that..

Then the song comes on. Indescribable, man.

It so happened C4 channel was broadcasting her MV, and I saw it! I'm so glad I found the title and singer of that song.. Wee~

Hope you'll enjoy the song as much as I do. Really like the MV too. ^^

Yael Naim - New Soul

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

I'm a young soul in this very strange world
hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake.
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate.
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make.

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

This is a happy end
cause' you don't understand everything you have done
why's everything so wrong

This is a happy end
come and give me your hand
I'll take your far away.
