Confirm cannot become taxi driver la

If there's 2 things I learnt today, it is that

1. I am so not a morning person.
2. I cannot deny it any longer. Reality has reared its ugly head and I have to accept that I have inherited my dad's super-not-good sense of direction.

*Stop sniggering Wen Hao!!* Ok la I admit I knew both facts already. I guess I was just kinda hoping that with the new year both would, oh i don't know, just disappear and I would magically be bestowed with the ability to navigate the roads of KL even though the road signs are so misleading I almost drove to Johor through Balakong today.

I have become a full fledged couch potato and I blame Desperate Housewives. I spent the WHOLE DAY WATCHING DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES OK.THE WHOLE DAY. I HAVEN'T EVEN TAKEN MY SHOWER YET. Ok maybe I shouldn't have added that last part. The defining moment for me was when I decided not to go shopping with my best friend just to watch it. It was then that reality struck me in the nose. I have become a Desperate Housewives addict.

Wish I could spew more crap but alas, I need my Desperate Housewives fix now. My eyes are starting to twitch and my muscles are starting to go into spasms. So till next time, toodles!

Resolutions??? Hmmm....

Hey Peeps!!

All d best to all d IMUians for your exams... a little late... =p....sorry....there's still 2 days more rite?? Yess....just 2 days more to your freedom!! hehehe.... Good luck to June and Caroline too...exams should be pretty near yeah?/ Dun get too stressed..

Yes yes...I want photos!! gracephang@gmail.com Forgetful me...always forgetting to bring my camera...i think my brain's starting to deteriorate already...bumming day in day out....hehe... should look for a job....haha...been saying that ever since A-levels ended...hmm....Well, gonna be working my arse off d next part of my life so I reckon another 2 more years of bummin would do me good... =D

Resolutions....hmm....never really crossed my mind. Never made any resolutions before...probably back in primary school when we had to write an esaay about it. Probably should start this year... First up on my list... Play harder and get better grades? Okay maybe that's not really possible... hmm... find a job? I'll just wait till my intership at the end of the year... Haih....I think with my indecisiveness (did I spell that right??) it'll take forever for me to come down with a list... haha.... Well, I guess it'll be best to just enjoy life for a while before uni starts.

Neway...I guess that's enough of my crapping for a while now...time for Desperate Housewives which I started 6 months ago and I'm only half way through of Season 1!! Haha....

P/s Bangkok trip 2006 is just round the corner!! Yippee!!

NY resolutions that are hard to keep

i was just reading my new year resolutions i wrote in 2000. reflecting back, life was so simple back then. my new year resolutions were like:
1. no smoking no drugs no getting drunk on alcohol ( which i still adhere to)
2. never go beyond 52kg ( haha, yeah rite..i overshot that benchmark by a huge margin)
3. stop talking in class while teacher is teaching( i once got told off for jaw exercising, in front of the whole class, but still carried on)
4. exercise more( not jaws, but the thighs and tummy)

oh well, that was life 5 years ago.

now>

1. survive med school and restrain myself from hating the microbiology and pharm books with a passion.i actually felt like throwing them off the plane and see them vanish into the clouds.
2. discipline to: do quiet time, to do revision at least during weekends ( doubt this will happen though),
3. stop snacking ie: stop falling into the evil trap of the chocolates and cookies that adorn the shelves of tesco.
4. cook more often instead of eating leftovers.
5. stop being hypocritical, as wh says, i feel like a hypocrite a lot of the time, telling ppl one thing, and not practicing it myself. IE: i share the same sentiments as wh, the trusting God issue. its a constant uphill struggle, to REALLY put every thing into His hands. sometimes i think i am a control freak, still trying to control some part of my life, and doubting that He will carry me through it all. Honestly, i find it very difficult to leave everything to Him and trust that it will turn out the good way, and i don't know where to draw the line between dependency and laziness. perhaps its the kiasuness still simmering away....not in terms of studies, but in terms of the course of my life.
6. i need to stop swearing under my breath, even if its inaudible.
7. practice my french and spanish at least 3 times a wk, otherwise i am gonna fail my module.
8. EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE!!! i'm turning into a huge jacket potato that is growing by the seconds. sideways, not upwards.
9. i need to be bolder for God. really. sometimes i feel afraid to tell ppl about Jesus. its something i want to overcome.....and i need the courage.
10. climb kinabalu!!! and go diving!!!!

er, im just putting down 10, i wonder if i can even acheive half of it. prob the most unlikely one will be the exercise one. u guys will be the judge lah.

okieedokiee.e....a toast to 2006! may it be a memorable year for all of us. memorable in a nice way, not with horrible memories!

In A Nutshell - My Resolutions

Happy New Year!!! Looks like WenHao is the only obediant one... Sigh... Where are the rest? I've blogged about my resolutions in my blog... Here's the link!

http://jay133.blogspot.com/2006/01/in-nutshell.html

Enjoy!

kicking off with thoughts!

hey ppl.. really enjoyed the session in midvalley.. the whole idea of just sitting together, eating and talking "smart" conversations & catching ups are just awesome.. it really did put away my neurotic mind (due to exam stress overload) away for a moment..

but anyhow, this is not what is this blog all about.. gonna start the first blog of 2006 with my thoughts.. thoughts that start flowing into my already saturated mind as i was driving home, trying to see if i could make it for the fireworks (i couldnt make it coz i end up in my dad's friend's house talking to the aunties about medicine)....

recently, as you guys know, i've been busy preparing for my exams.. trying to squeeze all the medical facts with every possible way into my mind, in hoping that i would be able to recall and remember what i've read... but unfortunately, i failed to do so.. really, although i keep telling myself that "rely on His strength.. trust in Him..." but somehow, i failed to up-live those promises.. i felt ashamed as i myself keep telling my friends that, assuring them of God's unfailing grace, & how He turn the IMPOSSIBLE to POSSIBLE... somehow i felt like a hypocrite... & the drop of sinful desire running in my blood just make me worse.. felt that i nullify the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross..

as things seem to be out of control, i began to cry out to God... everytime this matter crosses my mind.. seeking for His forgiveness.. asking Him to renew my living well with His water of life, to quench my thrist & refresh my strength daily.. i seek for His help, asking Him to help me to stay in His presence always, helping me to trust in Him wholeheartedly.. i began to pray that every Word that i meditate will adhere in me... i asked Him to equip me with His armor that i knew, but failed to put on.. soon, i began to feel the peace that has long gone.. buried my the abundant stress... thank you God!

today, in church as one of the leaders said, "to leave behind sins, actions, whatever that are in us in 2005, & not bring forward into this year".. immediately, i felt that God is saying this to me... and i commit it quickly unto Him... really looking forward for this year, even with the exam load, i am asking God to increase my effectiveness & fruitfulness, to increase my sensitivity towards the oppportunities that He has laid before me... i just wanna expand & live life for Him, for it is through Him, i first have life.. He is asking, "I've place it at your front door... Do you wanna claim it?"... "God, i really want to... help me claim it!!!!!" this is my answer.

well, this is my new year's resolution.. to resolve to continue to do more God's work.. for it has the best fulfilment in life once His work is done... it is "the one" satisfaction that you will nvr encounter whenever you do other stuff... Lord, in you i will follow, & in you i will gain peace..

ok now.. wanna go watch my O.C. now.. & house.. lol.. see you guys.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
