Its gonna be friday soon.. last day of uni lessons for this year.. the last few days was choking me seriously.. so stressed.. no time to eat n sleep.. was almost living like a zombie.. but its over now.. sat for the immuno test today.. it wasnt too bad.. but i did make some really super duper stupid mistake.. I bet when Chris Wong marks my paper he would be laughing his head off.. the receptor qns.. all the 3 receptors that was supposed to come to my head but they unfortunately didnt.. supposed to be B cell, T cell and Fc receptor but I wrote crap.. nvm..that was 3 marks down the drain..

Afternoon session was my prac exam.. I was calm ..very calm in fact.. had a crappy microscope that couldnt move down at all .. imagine only can move up a little bit and to the sides.. oh man.. that was horrible.. but I knew sth was wrong so I changed microscope.. cos otherwise I couldnt do viable count n view the gram stains ..that would be horrible.. everything was fine.. n I actually finished early.. but the haemagglutination part wasnt fantastic cos I had a wrong result.. but thank God the negative control turned out well otherwise my demostrator would have marked me down.. cos the results would be rendered invalid if the negative control was rubbish...so things didnt go too wrong.. just something minor..hehe..

Just want to thank all those who r praying for me especially for yoshi, danny n samuel.. really sweet people.. Chocolate for yoshi tmr for being a sweet darling.. she rang me this morning to wake me up.. chocolate for u dear..

I just finished my prac report.. 8 pages in 4 hrs.. Thanks yin ying n Linh.. u guys r of great help.. gonna rewrite my summative tute then I am done..

Tmr is gonna be a good day.. gonna celebrate yiyi's birthday.. though a late celebration.. its a gathering before exams.. a time of bonding n love.. love u all.. hope u will like the dress I got u..

I wonder if tmr we have another sabo session for Mossie? Will upload Paul n Mossie sabo pics soon.. Those taken at glenelg..

I am very stressed n impatient today.. I think I did offend some people. Though I know they understand.. I am still very displeased with myself.. I have been trying to study but having been doing quality work..

This week is hectic with 1 quiz n 1 exam on thursday..n 2 assignments due on friday.. I dunno wat to do.. just try my best...

Please pray for me.. I need all the prayers..

Gonna study in Uni till late from now on.......

If I offended u, please forgive me.. I didnt mean it.. I am just short of time..

Exhausted..

Getting along with people is never easy..

I try to be nice to everyone.. but some people just simply go overboard n step all over me.. tolerance has its limits... n its repeatedly the same few people.. its getting very annoying..

I dun understand y some people r so nasty n hard to communicate with..

Tolerating still...

When I want to be nasty to them in return.. I think twice.. I dunno how to be nasty.. Its God that stops me... otherwise I would have lashed out at them...

8 Things/Attitudes I Dislike

1. People who are unappreciative and full of negative comments.
2. People who are bossy.. they love to tell me what to do n I will rebel against them.
3. When my whole day is lessons from 9am to 6pm nonstop..no lunch break
4. When I am busy, someone still comes n ask me to cough out my answers ( Cant u see that I
am stressed?)
5. When I have to fix my meals when I cannot even manage all my other stuff
6. When people insist I go for certain things ( I dun believe in being forced. I will go if I am
willing)
7. When I have 3 or more assignments to hand up in a day
8. When people take me for granted ( even right now so many people r doing this)

I know this post is grumpy.. Cos I am right now.. This moment.. But I m being real to everyone.. Come on.. who likes to be treated this way???

At 9.30pm last night, I was hurt, upset n to a certain degree mad after reading an email. I am no longer angry now, neither m I hurt or upset because God brought forgiveness in my heart within 2 hrs last night. I think its amazing especially the content which I replied in that email directly after I read it. It didnt show any sight of anger but more of love and reasoning. It isnt because I was afraid. No..it wasnt at all. It was out of respect for the other person. Its deep respect that I have in my heart. It is God woven words not of mine. I cannot post here what I wrote. But I did show someone the content, a godly brother who knows both of us and understand us.

That moment I didnt know what to do. I just needed someone to assure me that I am fine. That moment all confidence is lost. In that few sentences in that email, it shattered entirely all. I actually felt inferior.. can u imagine, Prissy who is loud, confident, outgoing suddenly become a mouse feeling so useless and extra..my goodness.. I changed my msn nick last night and immediately a few people msn me but I only shared my pain n hurt entirely with a close brother, his reply really comforted me.

Brother: Your reaction is good! God will be happy!
Me (Feels comforted and happy that I did the right thing )
Brother: really well done! I am impressed by ur reply email.

Of late there were quite a few people who told me that I have changed for the better. I can control my anger more n I am more tolerant. Initially I didnt agree with them that I have change, at least not significant change. From Janice to Siew wai as well as to some other brothers, I am delighted to have changed but it isnt any of my works but of God and God alone! 2 weeks ago, after OCF Joanna came to hug me and she encouraged me. I still remember it till now cos its important to me. Its important for us to encourage one another in love. We all need a pat on our back!

I no longer feel inadequate now because my confidence is in God not in man! I also forgave that person completely to the extend that I prayed for him last night and I seek God ernestly to bless him aboundantly. I cannot imagine how I managed to do this. Just 2 hours ago I was mad with this person, 2 hrs later I can actually forgive and seek God for his blessing on this person. God is just so amazing. I can never be that forgiving until God intervenes!

I am glad I honoured God!

Colossians 3:13

"Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. "

Finally, I hope we all can lead by EXAMPLE n SENSITIVITY not POSITION. Let us learn together...

Doing Good to All

Galations 6

1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

No Christian should ever think that he or she is totally independent and doesn’t need help from others, and no one should feel excused from the task of helping others. The body of Christ – the church – functions only when members work together for the common good. Do you know someone who needs help? Is there a Christian brother or sister who needs correction or encouragement? Humbly and gently reach out to that person ( John 13:34-35 )

1 John 3

1How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

As believers, our self-worth is based on the fact that God loves us and calls us his children. We are his children now, not just sometime in the distant future. Knowing that we are his children should encourage us to live as Jesus did.

Are we living the life as Jesus lived?

Yesterday was an awesome day! It was Moon cake Festival and guess wat I actually celebrated Moon cake Festival with 4 different gangs this year. First, had mooncake in Sydney over at Clarence place, next Mooncake with amanda and my dearest coursemates over at Botanical Gardens the following week, and yesterday had Mooncake over at Leny and Jessie's place and finally the finale for last night was at Torrens River after OCF with Moses, Ian, Leeping, Samuel, Karen, Yoshi, Joannies, Paul and Keith. We had a cool time man! Did something different this time. Fancy adult children playing with lanterns, candles and bubbles ( Thanks to Ivy, Joannies and Keith for supplying us our play stuff! )

For me, Mooncake Festivals have always been nothing interesting until I came to adelaide. I should say that I never knew or remembered the festival to be associated with something fun.
Last year during Moon cake Festival, we had this celebration over at Ringwood with mooncakes and dessert and some close friends. This year is more happening and more child-like and also more memorable and enjoyable as well.

Also dinner was great. At that time when I was supposed to be in OCF, I was tucking into a yummy dinner spread of nasi lemak, grilled chicken, stir fried vege, and soup at Jessie's place. We had black glutinous rice and mooncakes ( Green tea, lotus paste and taro flavour ) for dessert as well. I have been wanting to spend time with them since we returned from Sydney but no time till yesterday. But I left after dinner cos I didnt wanted to miss out on fellowship with OCFers. Almost lost my way to aacc. Firstly cos I havent been there for a while and secondly it was dark. But God still brought me there safely. I came timely to catch the Ecamp trailer.. and fellowship..

Anyway yesterday I had fun the WHOLE day. hehe..Taken lots of photos also.. Waiting to upload on comp..

Time to get back to work!

I m sick again.. My immune system has been really bad.. The weather these days is crazy too.. yesterday was actually abt 33 degrees and it was shockingly HOT that I had to go out in shorts and I still sweat, this is how bad it is N today its super windy. My head is still turning now considering braving the tornado just now.. Almost got myself blown away. It isnt a joke! Its true! I even saw a big size man hiding behind the tree to avoid the wind. Can U believe it?

The last few days I have been staying up till late. Starting to do some revision. I hate to panic at the last minute so got to start now. However there is this sense of insecurity in me which I know is actually present in everyone else. Its the exam fear factor haiz.. There is just too much to cover just praying hard that I can retain all in my head and complete everything in time.

Now I really need to focus. Its just slightly less than 2 months then I will be home. I yearn for this time of rest after being here for so long. My heart is looking forward to the mission trip and everything else but there is exams just before that. I want to try my best. No No.. Not want but I will and I have to.. But now I have got to prepare my study timetable n fit everything in first..

I did some christmas shopping for the Christmas Operation Child yesterday. Bought some nice stuff for my little gal. The girly stuff that I liked as a child.. stuff like a little diary ( its pink and with a little lock ), markers, korean candy ( very colourful and tempting), and some daily necessities.

Just want to give to the little one just a little of what God has blessed me with! Hopefully it will bring a smile on her face and the understanding of the Father's love.

Sorry guys, there wont be much updates from now on..till end of my exams that is till 13th Nov.. I have too much stuff to focus on.. Sorry.. Probably just something short every now and then..

Yesterday was a self declared public holiday. I gave myself the excuse that due to my jabs which gave me some discomfort. But I was uncomfortable and my mind couldnt concentrate due to the pain and stiffness. I rested but I have some aches still but not serious so no worries at all. And this morning I feel so hot as in like warm till now. I dun think I am sick. Just that my temperature is really odd. Everyone is wearing jackets n there I am in short sleeve and I still feel warm. Thats weird!Worse still, people around me say that they are cold. Then I was like.. err.. but I feel hot!

I was supposed to go for more jabs today but I didnt in the end cos I felt that my body couldnt take it. But I dun think I can drag any longer. Will try to get it quick though... probably next week.. I am scared of jabs..

Today was an interesting day for me. I had a medical appointment. I am not sick. Just needed to take some jabs prior to the mission trip. Feeling abit dizzy now. Had a blood test today to test for mumps. measles and rubella. I have taken the jabs when I was a baby but the doctor insisted on checking if I still had immunity to it. After blood test, she decided on her OWN to proceed to give me a few jabs for Diphtheria, Tetanus and Typhoid. After the jabs, she told me I will experience pain on the jab spots tmr. She should have told me before that. Argh! Nevermind. Just that now I can feel some pain and stiffness.

Tmr there is round 2! Got to make a trip to the Chest Clinic along North Terrace for a jab of BCG! I wasnt jabbed at sch at 12 cos my immune system was good then but now need to take some precautions to minimise risk! And round 3 next thursday to review the blood test results to see if I need more jabs!

The doctor was quite funny. Female doctor from Uni. Before she took blood from me, the following conversation took place.

Doc: Will u faint at the sight of blood?
Pris: err .. No!
Doc: Good, I wont have time to help if u do ( There is a long queue outside so imagine how fast she finish all her jabs! )

Yeah thats the highlight of the day!

Reached home to see one msn message from Yoshi!

It says " Exam timetable is out! "

So obviously I checked ..

Immunology -- 6th Nov
Genetics -- 8th Nov
Chemistry -- 13th Nov

Then I will be done for this year... time to study..

William and I spoke yesterday. He shared with me some stuff. He mentioned that many times we as humans always run to something physical first. And God becomes second choice and he himself had such times. I guess we r weak. We need someone physically present. But today, without thinking I chose to run to God first. Isnt it amazing? God knows my thoughts and my words even before they come to my mind or speak them. Something clouded my thoughts this morning but its over now.

During prayer meet yesterday, I had a good time sharing with addielle. A dear sister whom I respect and learn from. Just caught up with her on the daily things. I shared with her much that is on my heart and she prayed with me and encouraged me. Such a sister is precious in my sight and annointed by God. Her grace, her love is beyond description.

I saw the sms from Laza this morning when I woke up. I am encouraged by him. It is so timely. I see God's hand and his favour on us. He alone can make all things possible and everything beautiful.

" I am praying for you and ur team Priscilla. Be courageous and fight the good fight! May God lead, empower and protect you!"

My mission comm is having meeting today from afternoon till night. I am blessed to be amongst people passionate about God. Do pray for them!

Deuteronomy 31:6

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

The last 24 hours, I have been mugging on my essay. I still have a little editing and referencing left which I am going to leave it for later cos its really getting into me. But it will be over soon but mean while I shall upload the pictures from our OCF AU 50th Anniversary. It is so much more enjoyable then doing my essay..argh!!
