God says STAY and you'll be BLESSED

This's the 2nd time since l started working not going anywhere on my annual leaves holidays. The 1st time was 2 years ago, after paying up the Korean tour with my friends, was later informed by the tour agency that it was cancelled due to Korean Air pilots went on strike.. This time round, my friend and l was so close to making flight and accomodation booking over the internet, but retreated at the last step as we did not have our passport# with us.
l was at the crossroad of making decision, whether should l go ahead, or stay, when l saw the hospital's September training modules includes the course that l so wanted to join, but participation's based on assignment. After considering the pros and cons and praying to God, finally decided to put forth my request to my manager. If she rejected or the class cancelled again like what happened last month, then let it be. The outcome is my manager couldnt say 'No' as l'm using my Annual Leaves slot to join, thus not affecting the ward manpower for the week. And, wa lah, the course got enough no. of ppl this time to resume! So.. gotta apologize, sorry and sorry, to my dear friend.. l'll go Macau with no one else but you, ok?

A Blessed Weekend
14-15th(Thurs-Fri):
The 2-day intensive training is quite an overwhelming in-depth lessons on theories, practicals and team coordination. Learnt alot and be better equipped for any code-blues. And so happy got the highest score for the theory test! :D
The course finished early with the exam. Then, went to attend a pt appt, who flew in fr Bangladesh for a surgery. Asked ard and found my way to the hotel where the family put up, opp Mustapha Shopping Centre via Farrer Park MRT station. Walking in this Little India made one wonders, "Am l really in Spore?!" First time attending to appt in a hotel, what an experience..

16th(Sat):
Met up Julie @Mos Burger,CP. Catching up and sharing life. Then, back to her house for a short lesson. Still no verdict as yet.. Then, went to Yishun. Invited to join in Garf's small group for her B'day celebration @Swensen. It turned out to be an emotional cum counselling session..It was pouring heavily outside, so as inside.. After abt ?3hrs of questioning, sharing, consoling, and challenging, the tears stopped and the smile back to YP face.. Feel happy for her to see her breakthrough her personal struggle and no matter what the scale is, its always a personal victory that worth rejoicing! Outside, the rain stopped as well, and the sky cleared.. While they continued on discussing abt their small group Oct schedule, l went to attend to my old pt's request for a wound inspection. Checked the pt's leg wound, cleaned it and checked his blood sugar. Ha, also gave the wife a back massage, that she always enjoyed so much. Told her this's a social visit, so no payment needed. After that, back to find the group for dinner, so hungry.. The ice-cream feast earlier on all melted in the stomach liao.. Supposed to go eat 'suckling pig rice' at ChongPang market, but since already 9pm+, the pigs went home ledi.. So, we ate (shark) fish porridge instead. The recommendable dish is the fried oyster egg, yummy!!

17th(Sun):
'Black sky dark ground'+heavy downpour morning. But, dramatically, 'rain over sky bright', the moment before stepping out of house.. Thank God! Met Julia at Admiralty bus stop to travel down to church. Along the journey, we're talking abt our real spooky encountances.. What a topic of sharing.. Then, had bfast with another bro fr the East at 198.
After service, NW celebrated Garf's b'day and dubbed her as CNN's "guo bao" (national treasure). B'day cake, gifts, cards,& sharing. Very impressed indeed by the saying, "If l can do, l'll do. And, if l do, l'll make sure l'll do a good job!" Though short and simple, yet so much dedication, hardwork, and a readily serving heart behind.. l salute you!
After that, went to JRL to look for resources for graphics design for poster. Not much, got a Photoshop book instead. So impressed by the amasing stuffs it can do on digital graphis editing.. Took dinner at the library cafe, then do the Ascent scriptures. Have missed 3 services, gotta catchup catchup and revise.. Gosh, so much scriptures to remember~~~ 10 more days to the exam date! :{

18th(Mon):
Today on PH(public holiday) replacement off. Heavy downpour again. After spending previous night searching for digital cliparts fr the internet but couldnt find suitable ones to the theme, decided to DIY. As not meeting WT for the PhotoShop CD tonite, at the end resorted to the most primitive means; free-hand sketch and MS Paint. Other than makan time, the rest of time was engrossed in doing the sketching on the floor and in front of PC digitalising the images. 7 charaters, one after another.. Its such a wonderful experience to fully focus into a project, fr conceptualising an idea, from nothing, scratch by scratch, to see sth born out or it.. Like giving birth to own children, and see them 'grow', ha! So satisfying.. And, wa lah, here's one of the 7 dwarfs, look familiar? :p
