Mummy was supposed to go for her heart bypass op today but she had fever last evening,so the op had to be postponed till next wed.
As for me,I had to endure a tummy pain from 11am to 1pm yesterday in SOT..It was one of the hardest 2 hours that I had to go through & I was half-praying that Pst will give the 10 mins break but there was none.I took a cab & went home to see my family doc..”Stomach Flu” – frankly speaking,I heard alot abt this term but I got no idea what it actually is..Well,I was given 2 days MC for yesterday & today..I rested & had no appetite for these 2 days.
When I reached the hospital yesterday night to fetch my mum home,I had no more strength cos’ I didnt eat anything at all since 11am..I was listless & feeling really lousy..No strength to talk,no strength to do anything..
The only good thing that I can see from the postponing of the op is that I can attend Emerge with a peaceful heart…

Have you ever thought that just by listening to a friend pour out their grievances,struggles,things that they can’t comprehend can actually make their day?
In the 30 mins+ journey home today,all I did was listen carefully to what my friend had to say & I shared my thoughts & views fm a third party.Have I offered any constructive ideas? Hmm, I do not think so..But I do believe somehow or rather,the load or burden seems to be lifted off slightly from this friend..
After I alighted,my friend text me,thanking me for the listening ear..
Isn’t this what friends are for? To go through thick & thin..To stand by one another..To help,cheer,encourage one another & see one another step into the calling that He has planned & given to us..But it is in the simplicity of things that make friendship even more valuable..

After sleeping for only abt 5+ hrs since last friday,I finally completed my SOT assignment on wednesday nite at 3am..
When I was filing them just now in office,I felt a sense of achievement,having completed book review on 52 chapters of the book..The feeling was like, “Phew,finally I have finished it,what a relief”..
We received our 2nd assignment yesterday..Thank God,it is a group assignment…But I believe if I can conquer the 1st & the toughest assignment,the rest should not be that big a problem..
Oh yah,thank God also that the overnite prayer mtg tmr is cancelled too..God must have heard our heart cries.. 
I need that much needed sleep now…

I am not a person who always had gastric pain.
But today,while walking to the office frm the train station,I felt this sharp pain.Even after I took a few mouthful bites of my fried tang hoon (whc had already turned cold since it was bought 1 hr+ ago),the pain didn’t go away..I couldn’t even finish my lunch..It was so painful that I have to rub my tummy with one hand and do my work with the other hand.
My colleague gave me some medicine to eat but the pain only gradually disappear after almost 1 hour+..
Is it because I didn’t eat during the 30 mins break in SOT?
I do not think so as I had breakfast.Surely,my stomach isn’t that weak.
I think it must be due to the stress…At least that is what my colleague think so.

Dear Jesus
You are the only One that stood by me
You are the only One who understands me from the within
You are the only One who hears my cries
You are the only One who knows my pain
You are the One who cheers me on in times like this
Though I weep & cry in Your presence
Your love surrounds and comfort me
How I want to just hold on to Your arms
And fall into Your bosom
Man may fail but You are ever so true and real
Jesus,hold my heart always

Didn’t return call
No questions asked:health condition
No questions asked:coping with things
Watched it with some other people
Why do I want to go for the event
Religious duty?
Geninue concern?

This has really been a very busy week for me: work,ministry,Emerge events,family…
Work: It’s been crazy at work.A colleague just resigned & her last day was Fri.Since she tendered,she has not been helping to clear the work (due to some promo again & there is no additional headcount).Work has been piling & she can still take her own sweet time to do only her own cases & refuse to help do new cases..ARGH!! Talk about bad attitude..Already the team is so lean & shorthanded..Plus,I’m on 1/2 day due to SOT..I worked till 8.30pm on Mon,Wed & Fri..I went back on Sat (fm 4-5pm & 8.30pm – 11pm) just to help clear the cases..After that,I rushed to the airport to send someone off..By then,I was already deadbeat cos’ was helping out with Emerge matters on Fri till 11pm..
Ministry:Need to really pray & seek God for creativity & following up on all the friends to get them back for Cg & Svc..Only 1 more month grace..Need to stand in for my ZS for Emerge matters these few days as she’s not in town..So many things & details to tie down & liase..Got to teach & disciple the youths also about being on time..
Family: Mum wants a 2nd opinion as she felt better & thinks that maybe she do not need to go for the heart bypass op..She’s easily irriated & keep grumbling abt my brother who resigned without finding a new job..Argh..I have to keep my cool & just embrace everything even though I am very stressed myself too..
SOT: Assignment is due on 18/05 & am rushing to complete..Almost 1/2 way through the total number of chapters..Stressed..
I felt that I had no time to breath..I really need a breather..Everyday,I feel that I am just rushing from 1 place to another,doing 1 task after another..Even when I wanted to go for a show,it didnt happen either..Gosh..When can I have some sanity back in my life?

Fm the moment I woke up this morning & till my journey to Paya Lebar MRT,I have been sneezing non-stop for probably > 20 times (is not exaggeration)..I hated it..At first,I thot is due to the dust in the air esp since my nose is so sensitive..But still,it didnt get any better when I reach SOT.During break-time,I felt feverish & I felt that my whole head was so heavy.U can imagine how difficult it was to pay attention in class..
At work,I used > 10 pieces of tissue to wrap my “wanton”..The panadol only stopped the flu for a while..Argh,I really feel weak & this “sniffing sound” really sound irriating..
I only finished work & left office at 8.45pm..I had no appetitie to eat any dinner by that time..
I told myself that I need to do some of my assignment tonight,if not,I will not be on schedule to complete the assignment.
Oh God,pls keep me in good health..I pray that the flu & the fever will be gone by tmr morning..
I cannot afford to fall sick at this time..

As tmr is a public holiday,my team in SOT planned to have an outing tonite..As half of the team consists of international students,we decide to bring them out for a “Local Food Nite” at Chinatown..
There was so much fun & laughter..I discovered that some of the team mates are quite “I” and they are a bunch of people who are fun (besides being spiritual)..
Like there is this member fm Indonesia & his name is Aljus..My impression of him during SOT was he seems a little quiet but as days passed by,I discovered that he is so funny & comical..He can be the Indonesia “Mr Bean”..He has a talent for drama..He performed 2 funny skits for us tonite,all by himself..It was so funny that we laughed & cheered so loud that the passer-bys thought there is a free performance…Another team mate actually took the plastic cup & start going around to collect $$..
Then I have Avin who comes fm Msia & he was a little down & quiet on the first few days as he was alittle depressed as there was no one to lunch with & talk to when he just reached Spore (during Benny Hinn)..But after being set free by God,now he also went “siao siao” with them & told us “cold jokes”…
It was quite an eventful nite & I can see that all of us really enjoyed ourselves…Just that all of us need to rush for assignment & we have family day event in church tmr..If not,we are still thinking of going to KTV..
Wait till I post the pics when I get them for our professional photographer – Yohanes fm Indonesia..
