My hols...it's almost over :(

Ah, the hols really quickly come, quickly go...almost a blink of an eye and i'm 4/5 through my hols. So many things I wished I had more time to do, yet my hols has already been so packed:

Sun:
AM -- Church. Rally missed my 小组. Glad everyone has finished exams. Looking forward to our outing on 27 Oct!!!
PM --1) Karunaya (I'm so sry Bro Reuben for not being able to make it for the past few weeks) 2) Celebrating Kenny's b'day @ Minds cafe. Happy b'day bro!!!

Mon:
AM -- rest, i woke up at 12pm cos was watching 新鹿鼎记 the whole night/morning till 5am
PM -- had BS with Milton n Jonny. Really appreciate the difficulty of leading BS. Still have so much to learn, bout asking the right qns, bout accepting silence. Thank God for the passionate CGLs He has blessed VCF.

Tue:
AM -- had lunch with Grandma, then met SK to hand up log book n cards. Oh yes, bon voyage Sam!! Hope you'll have a great, blessed, restful hol in Aus. Come back with some kangaroos ok?

PM -- Visit 婆婆

Fri:
AM -- Lunch with Shen Kiat
PM -- Leading worship @ 中友

Sat:
AM -- send Ben off to the airport
PM -- worship prac for Sunday

Ah, a friend commented that shouldn't I be freer during the hols? My honest reply, hols always seem busier for me :) So many things to be done, so many things I want to do, yet no time/energy to do them...I had come up with a list of stuff I wanted to accomplish during this break, but I'm less than halfway complete :( Still got impt things to do like pack my OnG notes, call someone, prep for the worships, prepare for Patho, complete some serial etc...Arg!!! Father, how?!?!? Can I wish for more time?

But thank God He's a just and faithful God. He has given all of us 24h equally, it just depends on how we use them. Father, do give me wisdom to use my time wisely that your Name be glorified!!

**********
Anyway, a random tot tat came to mind. Shera was sharing tat we as doc have a very stable job in the future, cos wherever we go, we will be employed. So i tot, since we have the assurance of a stable job, why study so hard, be under so much stress? Just make it thru MBBS, survive HOship and then go be a GP somewhere. Don't need to worry bout trainingship or anymore stress... ... sounds gd eh? But is that what God wants me to do? Is that how He wld like to see me spend my life? The ans was a definite NO!!! And tat's why I'm studying so hard, giving myself the stress to know my stuff (and living in the constant fear of not being competent). Cos I'm answerable and accountable to God who has given me this precious chance to be in Med.

That's the beauty of med I guess, that we don't study just to pass, or to compete with each other. But we study so we can be competent to serve our patients in the future! I love med!!!

On that note...I'll better be bucking up. My foundations are really lousy!!! Oh Father Lord, help me!!! Discipline!!! Focus!!!
