Chinese New Year is here!!

Biopharm test was finally over last Monday! Whew.. big big relieve.. there were some weird questions and a few which were from the lecture slides which i din't manage to read. So, had to guess the answers!! Feedback was on the same afternoon. Took a rest from studying on that day itself! Was just too tired!

But still had to prepare for LG sharing for tuesday, and I had to prepare it in a day plus. The last time i shared i needed bout 3-4 days!! LOL.. but i managed to finish it! And i think it was okay on Tuesday! thank God! :)

Had to go for the CNY choir thingy on Tues itself, Wed, and Thurs :) Was supposed to sing Gong Xi Gong Xi, Chun Tian You Lai Lo, Xin Nian Lai Lo and Rasa Sayang for the CNY party on Friday!! Imagine me copying all the pin ying for all three chinese songs and trying to memorize them! Din't really know the meaning of most of the words!! And had to keep asking HY and YX! lols... kept practising and practising with HY and SX also!! and it was really funny!! practised until the song was stuck in my head!!

Started my results on Wednesday and Thursday!! Had to try so hard to figure out how to use SPSS, this statistic programme thingy, which is like.. too canggih for me, who is quite blur esp in statistic stuffs.. :S. Kept wondering which test to use for which type of condition, and finally found out:

1. Chi square test: for comparing both binomial variables
2. Man-Whitney test: for comparing binomial and ranked/ordered variables
3. Spearman correlation test: for comparing both ranked/ordered variables

Managed to conduct those tests and contruct tables, and pie charts and graphs!! it was alot of work!!

Wednesday night was night out with the girls! :) Wanted to have dinner at La Tasca before catching Valentine's Day at the cinema, but it was full! Ended up in Lauder's with my mixed grill!! Movie was not very good.. lol.. but got too see my favourite celebrities esp three cute guys!! :) but sadly, one turned out to be a cheater and the other two turned out to be gay! :S what a shame!! :P

Spent Friday morning-noon preparing and cooking the fried mee hoon that we were supposed to bring for the CNY party at the Christian Centre which would start at 6.30 pm. Cooked all the was till 2 plus. After bathing, HY curled my hair while I curled hers and SX's and SX curled NC's. :) all in about 2 hours! :P lols... so ai mei all of us :S

All of us girls looked so pretty in cheongsams/red/pink outfits while the guys looked equally nice in their outfits and some even wore samfu :) It was a great party! there were lots of nice nice food!! was so happy! Those who were serving the food, kept piling different types of food on my plate! It was overflowing!! :) Fried rice, Fried Mee Hoon, Sweet sour pork, Char Siu, Kong Bo chicken, and many other food! Even there were so many types of dessert; Tong Yuen, Red Bean sago, Cincau, and Barley Foo Chuk.

Presentations included a home-made lion dance, a chinese yoyo performance, a flute performance, and a choir singing! lol.. which i was in it! :)

Great party and then Sue May and HY and I left to church for all night prayer meeting! It was from 10pm-5am ! Managed to stay awake, though was fighting to stay awake a few times! Am happy to find my gifting!

Whole of Saturday was spent on my results again!! Had another CNY open house thingy at Ser Yiing's house! Great party and everyone looked lovely in bright red clothings! :) Had a session of Wii at Andrews house while the rest played Blackjack!

Weight of workload :S

The past week has been full of biopharm.
Biopharm in the morning, after lunch, after dinner... its really tiring to have to look at the book although i don't feel like it at all!
Cant wait for biopharm to be over!

I have to use these few days which are left to trust in Him and to build my faith, like what Jace shared in LG yesterday!
Faith is when you cannot do it on your own, but you believe that you'd be able to do it by His grace and strength! YUP!
I have to keep reminding myself of that! :P

Not a coincidence

I suddenly realize that everything happens for a purpose, and that nth was ever a coincidence!

Suddenly feel that I just so so small in this world, this universe and the everything is not in my control but rather in His.

It feels so foolish to keep worrying and stressing bout stuff when worrying doesnt even change or help anything!

I should certainly learn how to appreciate and give thanks no matter what the circumstances i am in, for He will turn things into good, and everything happens for a greater purpose!

Note to self: Give thanks in everything!!!

First skiing trip ever!

Was so looking forward to the skiing trip, which was on the 24th Jan. It was postponed so many times! Had been hearing new that weather wasn too good and that roads were closed. Was kinda worried bout it in the beginning, but a few of us prayed for good weather and a safe journey and the weather turned out to be perfect, even better than what we expected! :) was really so so happy and excited! :)

Left from Rottenrow East at 6.30 am! There were 32 of us in total! :) The journey took almost 3 hours and as usual, i was carsick! Managed to tahan all the way until we almost reached, when i threw up in the toilet at the back of the bus! :S But felt so much better after that.. We stopped at the place where we got out skiing and snow boarding equipment. Some of them rented the one-piece ski outfit! :) On the way to the mountain, and in the bus, we saw many Siberian Huskies! They were so so beautiful! :) Apparently there was a sledge race competition held in Aviemore this year!




Me in my skiis!! :P



Finally we reached the foot of the mountain! We had an instructor, and his name was Brian. After more than 2 hours of teaching us how to ski, he let us go off on our own. We took the train up to the top of the mountain, where we found that we couldn't really ski up there, as we were amatuers :P So we came back down and skiied there instead!


All of us outside the restaurant on the top of the mountain!




Me and Mr Chew!



Back at the foot of the mountain, I fell so so many times again and again, and had so much trouble trying to stand back up and to put on the skiis! They were so so heavy! :P But it was so much fun, the snow was lovely and it was white everywhere! The skies were so so clear and the scenery was really beautiful! I was so grateful for the great weather and that everyone was having such a good time! :)



We're skiing!! yay!! :)





On the way back, was so reluctant to leave. hehe!


Women's conference

Women's conference was on the 23rd of January, and was at the Partick Burgh Halls.
It was supposed to start at 9.30 am. But our LG left from TCC at 8 in the morning! :)
Took the subway to Kevinhall and made our way to Partick Halls. :)
Helped out in arranging the chairs and equipment. The guys from church were also there to help us set everything up.
I was playing the piano on that day!
The speaker, Susan Comiskey was from Australia, but was currently staying in Liverpool.
Her message was really relevant, especially to myself. She talked on three main points:

1. Mirror mirror on the wall, emphasazing that we are indeed more beautiful than what we see on the outside, and that each and everyone of us are nique and individul and that we should not compare ourselves to other people for we are special and we are who we are in God. Indeed, it made me realize that we were created by God with love and we are His masterpiece (Eph 2:10)!! :)

2. Shining like stars, emphasazing that we should realize that its not always bout ourselves but our attitude should be towards others, thinking on what we can do for other instead of what others can do for us.

3. Ladies and leadership, emphasizing that we should be a 'whatever it takes girl' and that we should not have fear but instead, faith in Him.

It was a great session and i enjoyed the songs we sang during praise and worship:

1. Where the Spirit of the Lord is
2. The wonder of your love (love this song)
3. So beautiful (love this song too)
4. All of my days
5. Always
6. Be glorified (wasnt really familiar with this song)
7. My beloved
