God Is Great

"Evelyn jong.. what are you thinking..? Hmm.."

Okay no emo.. Today is supposed to be a great day to celebrate!

Today I experienced God's guidance! I wanted to go to youth revival camp just during the short holiday next week. But there are a lot of things stopping me..
First, my proposal
Second, my proposal presentation on the next day after camp which comprise 35 percent of my semester marks.
Third, financial
Forth, I have CLC vision night on Sunday night.

But I deeply know that it's a camp that I shouldn't miss.
By faith, I said yes to go. I will go. I wrote letter to HRC and my lecturer to apply for leave on Monday as HRC is not having holiday on that day. I've informed both the head of department and my own lecturer about this. So wanted to give lecturer the letter, but right before I took out the letter, lecturer say, I've news for you all. You're given holiday on Friday, so no need replace! What a good news! It simply means I can go back to kuching or do my research on time! Yayy

Second, I prepared my proposal day and night for one week. Sit until my back and buttock pain. I feel like time is lacking. But I do it with the best that I can. Some more, I have case presentation in hospital this coming Wednesday. A lot of stress. Some more, I need to spare time to challenge junior with vision casting. Too many things to do in a short time. Really exhausted. Dr leo wanted to see the proposal on Monday, which is today. I literally pushed myself to the limit to get it done! And I sent it at 11.46am according to dr dzalani. Haha. At least I've done it! Yayyyyyy!

Third! I am so happy cause my pre proposal presentation went well, I mean it's out of my expectation cause i thought I will do badly! I made dr leo annoyed last week.. Cause I was really nervous, I didn't come out with my proposal when others have done it. So I was really no mood and scared. I didn't want to let him know too. So that day, everything was just not so right. Today, I didn't expect much bout my presentation. Cause I focus on proposal only. But thank God. God is good! I got positive feedbacks and it helps me in understanding more. I once again build up my confidence.

I am really happy you know.
I just wanna share this happiness..
God is really great.
When I really have faith in Him, He shows me the way :)

I only have 60 ringgit left for this month. I don wanna let papa mama worry. I just hope I will be financially stable until Jpa masuk duit. :)
no worries, cause God is good, all the time!

there is so much things i want to tell you. But a lot of things are better left unsaid. If you think that a lot of things are changing, it will change. Whatever you think decide how the situation will be like. All i ever wanted was the true you, true me and true smile. cause your smile means so much to me. like i said before, i don't know how much you treasure me, like how i treasure about you. Sometimes i went away cause i feel that you hated me. i wish i have the purest heart, to see the bright side of the world. I wish i will never need to worry so much, i wish we could just laugh for the whole day. after all, i guess i am just not the right one.. yeah maybe

Sad.. I've reached KL. It's time to go back to reality. One month passed so fast isn't it :( still remember the first day I reached penang airport and take bus to komtar and take 102 bus to burmah road. Auntie's house is just the first stopping station for bus. Got into the house and chaiyen was already there. I packed bag and we went to eat laksa at lorong baru. We went to GAMA buy toothpaste, shampoo, milo and biscuits. Yee ern only reached at midnight. Second day, we went to the HR to hand in the documents required. We stepped into 7th floor in LGL and saw kenny and mr chew. I was wondering who is this student, from where? We looked into the organisational board trying to find who is the HOD. We thought the assistant ah seng is Miss ooi. Lol. So much difference after familiar with all of them. I was in the gym with yee ern on the first day. Miss hang was busy treating patients and we introduced ourselves using English. After speaking English for a while, I asked, actually can we communicate in mandarin. She answered me in mandarin, aiyo jiang hua yu laaa! Lol! We were quite awkward being there. We didn't know what to do and where to go. Cy was alone outside with miss wong. Haha.. in the afternoon, we went to the cafe and saw a ukm senior. Had our first lunch at the cafeteria. I forgot how did we spend our time in gym. But first day is always weird. I told myself, we will get used to it someday. Anyway, after work, before going home, I remember Matthew, naven came in the gym. Matthew introduced himself, He is the ot senior. Then mr chew and Matthew dou zui. It was funny. Didn't really know them that well though. Days after days, we became so friend and I began to open up my heart to play with people in gym. Thanks to mr chew actually. He lo, keep talking crap and funny jokes. Kacau here and there. So annoying. Haha. The first question kenny asked yee ern and I was, why would people hold the cane at the affected side. I haven't search for the answer. Even till now. Haha. Sorry kenny. We slowly learn that he is actually a diploma holder in aimst university. Because of the lacking of vacancy, temporarily he is the assistant in this department. I would say, I really Wana thank him for being there with us throughout the posting. Sometimes when I Don understand sth, I would ask him, then he will discuss with me. And he will always ask me questions to stimulate my critical thinking.. this is one of the good memories in gym. I love little discussion. It makes everyday challenging. He's a very clever guy I would say. Really look up to him. Plus, He is same age as us! Thanks kenny for your last day advice. I will take it and improve better. You let us see a different point of view. And thanks for helping me to check my presentation slides for two times. Your advice are precious. Back to the topic, just wana say, a lot of memories start from the gym. It's because of gym, we started to look at Matthew's shoulder problem and do some exercise. It's because of gym, we started the core strengthening exercise, get to know naven more. Before this when I saw him, I jus passed by like that. After that core training at gym, we started to greet each other. But guess it's too late cause we only had two weeks left to know more about each other. But I treasure these moments anyway. I learn that how's life will be when you're already a working adult. Somehow I regret that we didn't grab the opportunity to eat with different therapists. Hmm nvm la :) anyway, we said goodbye to auntie today. I'm sad to leave her alone. She was shocked that we are leaving today. I told her earlier before already lo. :( she sent us to komtar and gave me 50 cents to naik bus. I told her I will come back to Penang and pay her the 50 cents I owed her. Haha.. pls take care auntie. Thanks for greeting us every morning and when going back home. Thanks for making me happy. I guess, you will be lonely without us in the house. Hope you get use to it fast :(
So, that sums up my third year posting in Penang. Thank god for everything. :)

I thought that I will spend my Sunday morning doing presentation then naven asked us out to eat at pulau tikus! Yayy. So happy :D so we went out and talked a lot. Teh tarik ice is teh ice. Teh tarik ice, no such thing. Lol. After hearing his sharing, suddenly admire him so much. I'm Blessed to know this friend. Yee ern went back to perlis. So only cy and i went out with him. Then I went to church with vern. Her bro was practicing praise and worship and holy spirit touched our heart that we cried. I told Vern it's holy spirit working in our heart but guess she will be thinking I'm talking crap. Hahaha anyway, doesn't matter. She was just touched to see her bro singing up there. It's normal to cry in church I told her. I really had a great time praising God, thanking him about how much my life has changed. I thank him for people I've met in life. And most of all, I thank him for my three weeks in Penang. It's really wonderful being here. Thanks Lord for loving me. Hee. :') went out with church bro and sis. It was a great night out cause we played game in the bistro. Took Many photos with gee gee :P came back home and Wana do my presentation, but end up chit chatting with cy till 330am in the morning! What is this? Lol. But I Don see it as a waste of time. Oh ya. I cried during church telling Vern that cy said she is not coming back to Malaysia anymore after working in sg. I cried cause I guess, after graduating, I won't be able to see these bunch of great friends. I guess quality time spent talking to each other is more precious than doing my case presentation ba. It's the last posting for 3rd year. I should appreciate deep conversation like this. Cause, when will I get the chance? :')
Anyway, thanks to you Lord. I'm really happy and feel blessed everyday. I love my coursemates and I treasure everybody. May peace and joy be with them till forever and ever ::)

Dear Lord.
Just want to pray for my xxxx.
Lord you know that her life has changed. She knows that she will never be the same. No longer the happy child, who is always positive for everything. Lord you see her sorrow and her pain. You know all about her and her problem. Even though she doesn't need any help from you, but Lord, continue to pour your mercy, blessing, love and joy in her life. Shower her with your love. Let her cry out her problem and throw all the bitterness, hatred, hurt feeling accumulated since years ago. Lord, I really hope she can go back to your side once again. Cause she is weak, she needs strength. And you're strength. Lord. Just Wana pray that she will surrender her life to you. Stop settling things by her own. She is exhausted with life. No matter how hard she tries looking for ways to entertain herself, she knows that it is only temporary pleasure. Lord, pour and fill your holy spirit in her life. May all the burden, chains and bondages be broken in the name of the Lord. Cast away all her worries and pain. Lord. For you are the Healer, you are the way, the truth and the life. Come back to you Lord.. Come back to you.. rest in your presence.
In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Today, one of the physiotherapists that I adore so much asked:
"Did you pray every morning before coming for posting?"
"Sometimes yes. Sometimes not." I answered.
"I pray every morning that I will surrender everything I do into God's hand. When I do that, everything seems to be smooth sailing. You need to pray to commit your work to the Lord."

I nodded and smiled.
I was motivated.
She is right.
I always enjoy the 20-30 minutes walk from house in Penang to the hospital, of course without rushing. Cause I get to spend my quality time with God.
I do not know how can my life be a blessing to people, but God is able. I do not dream big, I am not burden to lead a successful life. I just wana faithfully serve people around me just like how God wants me to love and humbly serving those in need of help.
People told me to dream big for future. Chance is always once in a lifetime. Yeah. I struggled. I was confused. But tonight I have a sudden thought in mind. Why not dream big for God? All I felt was peace and joy. I'm not sure about my future. But, He will lead the way.
So much thought after a deep conversation tonight.

It's the third day in gym. GYM is my comfort zone! The most comfortable place for these three weeks. Cause of mr ooi miss hang mr chiew and kenny. It's so noisy inside. Haha. I'm having lots of fun learning cause mr ooi and kenny will always randomly ask me questions. And we will discuss about it. Hee. Mr chiew is seriously an annoying person haha, but his presence is very very important. At least we can argue and play around when it gets bored. Get to know Pc Teo in gym as well, our ukm OT senior. We always have great talk while having lunch or dinner. Thanks for bringing us out and suggesting place to eat! And the most fun thing to do is to work out after working hour! Because of working out, we get to know that miss hang is really really fit! She's our instructor! The moment she helped and asked me to not give up when my back extensor loses its strength, I truly know the meaning of backing up each other. Haha. Another work out partner, navin! Get to know him in gym as well. After much conversation with him today , just knew that he is actually an intermediate ambulance officer. A very high ranking post in st John ambulance. He told me how different st John ambulance in penang  compared to other states. It's like what I've heard when I was still in secondary.School. That's really cool. He even conducted first aid courses in LGL. I had a dream when I was a st John ambulance cadet before. After joining the national first aid and nursing competition, I was really enthused in things about st John. It was because of st John that made me understand what I'm capable of and interested in. After form 5, I was only interested in any jobs in hospital.. I applied for diploma in a lot of health science courses through spa. I wanted to be a nurse at first but you know, everybody just disagree. Okay nvm. God is good. He provided me with matrics. And I know what I want to do in life is to help people to be relieved from pain or suffer. So out of so many health science courses, physio is the one that is close to my dream. I applied after matrics and I got it. Thank god. I'm on my way and I believe God will guide my way :) I have a Dream that can't be told yet. I dunno how I'm gonna lead my future in years to come. People are asking, why not sg? I dunno. I just dunno yet. Let's just surrender my future to God. Okay enough with this.
Anyway! Lulu and Jasmine fetched us to fahlim night market! It's the biggest night market in Penang and I ammmm sooooo happy that I went! Nothing really special but heyyyy, I love might market so much.. since I was a little kid. Haha. It was fun talking to Lala Jasmine yee Ern chai yen and vern. We laughed at Vern cause she bought xxx at night market! It's also funny that chai yen bought fried chicken 'skin' lol! She felt yucky after eating it. and we saw navin and his friend! Wanted to ask him what are those special food he would recommend but he disappeared. Who knows after walking around, he just sat behind our table. Haha, glad to know this friend. Seriously, being sarawakian means you seldom get to know any Indian friends. So if I were to count, navin is my 5th Indian friend. Sometimes I wonder, can I get to wear Saree one day? Haha.. if I go back to sarawak to work, I guess the chance of having Indian friends are quite small. Hee! One more week left in lsc. Thank god you know. I've grown so much throughout this two months. From Taiwan to private hospital. I really love this job. I enjoy learning and treating patients. I pray that God will use me to be a blessing to my patients :) great journey!

It's been two weeks here. You know how scared, nervous and worried when I was about to be here in penang? I was really reluctant to leave KL for this. I missed my holiday and missed my chance to go conference and mission trip :( I prayed that God will lead me and by faith I trust that God will improve the bonding among yee ern, chai yen and I. I can tell you all that God is really answering my prayer. I really enjoy being together with them. We laughed at so many little things and seeing their happy faces just make me happy. I get to learn so much from both of them and we share knowledge and stories with each other. Thank you Lord. I've always have issue with my roommate or housemate. Guess it's normal. Even real sisters will argue with you because of some issue. But it feels different this time. I just wana give thanks to God la. Two more weeks here and every moment spent is the moment I treasure. For real! Thanks for making me smile everyday girls! :')

This week is the best week. I get to follow miss wong, one of the senior therapist in loh guan lye. She is a strict teacher but she teaches us in such a way we think more deeply about the condition of the patient. I really learn a lot from her, especially learning from mistake. Thank you miss wong! Love you so much. Though I didn't dare to talk to you. Hee. When I see your smile, my world turns around. Haha :D today you scolded me, but then I Don mind at all, it's the way you pushed me to be the best out of the best. Thank you. And I'm glad that even if you never really praise me, but I believe you'll be proud of your student some day, cause I will be better and better. You told me, "good" when I told you what I've observed. Even if it's just a tiny affirmation, but it means so much to me. I will learn more and I will remember what you've taught me. Thanks :)

Xee vern has a Christian Brother and I went to his church today with her. This is the first time I went to FGA. It's a small church with a lot of friendly people. They seem to know Vern well because of her bro, and of course she went to the church camp and also bible study before. Vern said she came because need to accompany me only. She wana kill me dy, guess she is quite awkward ba. Cause people are asking hey how come you suddenly come to church. Hahaha. But if I went without her, I will be very lonely :( anyway! She began to feel comfortable after more and more people came and talked to her. Hee! Glad that the church is small yet warm. They are really nice. I've been told by Vern about her incredible brother and like finally, I get to see her brother! Her brother's name is Kent. First impression, he speaks fast with nice voice. Second impression, his speaking pattern same as Vern and third impression, he is a super sweet dad and husband! And his daughter is soooooooooo cuteeeee! So wana hug her tight! Hee! Thanks da ge and da shao for treating me dinner and fetching me back! Vern does not allow me to call them like that, but bluek, who cares about how she feels! Hahaha. Oh yaaaaa! I'm so excited for next week! Vern and I will probably join the cooking competition lol! So funny De. And on 31 August we will go to hari kebangsaan event. LOL! We have bought the tee! :P so random and it will be memorable! I feel so so happy today cause it's unexpected that when I come to penang for posting, I will join activities in church other than only Sunday service. In previous posting in seremban and malacca, I feel reluctant to go extra activities cause of sooo many reasons. But because Vern will be going, it makes me so eager to join as well. Ngeee soo excited!
In fact, I thank God about so many things today. I cried while sing praise and worship God cause I feel His unfailing love. I've been thirst and hunger for His presence for months. Holy spirit just flow in me and I just Wana praise his name up high. Thanks for reminding me how selfish I am sometimes and I'm sorry for hurting anybody cause of my selfish act. I thank God for such refresh in myself.
Oh ya, I went to Ayer itam to eat laksa with auntie, yee ern and chaiyen this morning. Haha! Then auntie bring us to take a picture in bukit bendera.

Done for today! Thanks God and it's lovely to have great time with Vern today!

Well, this is the end of first week posting in LGL in Penang. I followed miss thila starting on Tuesday. Get to know miss hang mr ooi, mr chew and kenny in gym on the first day. It's private hospital so no doubt, we can't really go into every room and observe how the therapist assess and treat the patient. Frankly speaking, I've been spooned feed by the therapist in Taiwan as it's a teaching hospital. They taught me a lot of stuff including of the basic knowledge that we seem to neglect at times. Therapists in private hospital need to take care of patients privacy even more which restrict us from getting to know their detail in front of them. Then they will often be treated with electrotherapy. It takes almost one hour to complete all the electrotherapy applied in some cases. That's why for most of the time, I don have anything to do except for waiting and waiting. However, miss thila is really a good teacher, she allowed me to assess the patient and discuss with her. That's why for the whole week, I learned to assess and think more about how to treat a PID patient. At least I learned sth. Of course, it isn't that bad la. They are a lot more thing I've learned in this hospital. It depends on how you're motivated to ask and find questions to understand better. Next week I'm following miss wong, she is an experienced therapist. I'm a bit scared. Yet I'm not prepared now! Hope next week I will be able to learn more through difficulties. Jia you! Oh ya, we had tapping course on Saturday afternoon. It was really fun. The therapists are really funny. Laughed die us. Hahaha
