24th January 2007,

6.30pm Wednesday evening. The Pharmacy Luncheon is over, praise God it runs smoothly and successfully, thanks to the helps from everyone. Can see that people are really putting effort into this to make it a success. We invited our consultants, HODs and a few more other staff who deal with us in workplace. We ordered many varieties of food. Initially it doesn't seem to be enough, but thank God that He multiplied our food- till it's overflowing, MORE THAN ENOUGH! Praise God! Wow, am just so tired, but yet am just so excited and glad we finally made it.

I always mentioned to my Pharmacy Staff: "Pharmacy-Boleh", it's just the matter whether we wanna do it or not. And we made it again- treating the VIPs with food, and fellowshipping, building relationship with one another.

Today many people said I've lost a lot of weight. I did not measure, not sure is it true. But many people said it's very significant, my body size seem smaller. Hmm...thanks to my work, and by skipping lunch everyday- probably that contribute to the changes. For good? Dr. Chin said I look better with plum, more cute. He jokingly said my "cute-meat" has disappeared. Dr. Simon said that too :PP Hmm...well, I don't intentially wanting to be on diet, but it just happen..dunno why, maybe stress :PP

Oh dear..I'm just so tired. Not able to sleep well last nite. A lot things running through my mind. Gonna go back home after finish this blog. Hope for a better week ahead. Oh yeah, I went to Ipoh last week, celebrating a close friend's BD. Has been quite frequently travel to Ipoh nowadays- next month will make a trip there too, for a fren's wedding at Buntong. Pr. Sam called last Monday. He asked why didn't see me in church on Sunday? Wondering whether I'm ok. Hmm...paisey, didn't tell him I'm outstation.

Ok, guess I got to make a move, it's late, and mummy waiting for me for dinner. Till then!

Fish Fishes, more fishessss...

16th January 2007,

5.30pm Tuesday. Here am I, still staying in my room, in the hospital. I have new pet..... hehehe...If you walk in my room now, you can see an aquarium with lots of fishes. Yeah yeah...of course I love fish, first time rare fish-quite blur, not sure able to take care well. My staff don't want to keep it outside, so have to put in my room and do my own. Hmm..let's see, I have 13 fishes...Ooops, nope :P 15 fishes altogether, 2 just joined the new family this afternoon.

1 White Fish (not sure the name)
2 gold fish
1 white fish with orangy spot on the head
2 black sucker fish
2 small orangy tetra
5 small neon tetra with flourecent green line on the top body
2 typical gold fish with big tummy (new intake: bought by Camelia)
TOTAL: 15 fishes

Today is the 2nd day they stayed with me. All behaving well. But one has some problem: swimming upside down in circular motion, not sure if he got disease or hurt somewhere in his body while we transfered him to the pool. Not able to swim straight but turning around backwardly like performing circus. My staff said he got a 'stroke' need to go for physio :P hehehe...and we named him "Ah Wai" (means cornering in Hokkien). Not sure how long this babe will hold his breath. Pray God will preserve this tiny life.

HOC has been shifted to 3rd Flr, and the CDR area has shifted to Dr. Leong's room. Gonna be staying there temporary, hopefully in another 2 months will move to new house. Can't wait. Meantime, got to start training my new gals. I just hired 2 Malays Pharmacist Assistant: Emi and Siti. So far they're performing well. Have to spend time to mentor them. Oh...many many things to do, just need to plan my time properly and prioritized. Oh Lord, I need Your wisdom!

A New Season, a new makeover

3rd January 2007,

5.45pm, Happy New Year!!!! Yeah..It's 2007! My blog will continues with much better sharings, a more positive perspective. Today is 1st day of work in 2007, and praise God..Pharmacy Reno has completed with wonderful final outcome. Compared to previous front-counter with thick glass and barriers separating staff and patients, now the new setup totally the other way round. "Open Counter" concept, with flourecent lighting, and multicolour fabric backdrop, clean white marble as table-top..wow, it's just awesome! It looks pretty cool, very high class, friendly and esthetic!

That's the new beginning for the Pharmacy. I hope the staff will appreciate the change and the comfort, thus able to perform better, improving our service. A start of New Year, and praying for a better year ahead. So, now Pharmacy Reno has finished, left with another project- CDR Reno, and preparing staff for CDR. Pretty interesting, yes..I love the job I'm doing, excluding the 'company politics and system setbacks'. I'm happy today, and hopefully I'll be happy and excited for more in days ahead- life in GMC. Unless the Lord moves me somewhere, I doubt I'll be relocating. But everything is just uncertain, only entrust the days ahead to Lord's hands, trusting He has every good plans for us.

Spent the holidays in Ipoh last week. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Or maybe 3 birds :PP 1.) Manage to visit Cindy and her mum at Kuala Kangsar. Her house full of Ikea's furniture, very nice and neat. According to Cindy, her brother is the one who decorated the house. She's trying to introduce her brother to me :P We had dinner there and spending time with Cindy's mum.
2.) Staying with Andrew and visiting Gavin. Also get to know little babies (Benjamin and Jason), spending time with Andrew's parents, and Gavin. It's indeed sweet experience. Will not elaborate much here.
3.) Have a rested holidays. This year was the ever 1st year spending countdown with frens (usually every year we have WatchNite Service in church, but this year exceptional)

New Year Resolutions. For the past 2 years I did not write any resolution, getting some phobia making resolution which ended up with not so good endings. But this year the list not gonna be long, only a few, very few items that I've offered to the Lord. Man can plan but ultimately it's the Lord that who wills it. May my plans and heart desire be in in His perfect plan. Trusting that every good and perfect gifts is from above. Only He wills..Not my will be done, but Your will be done, Your ever perfect will, Your best.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3: 5-6

I am blessed with the sermon I heard during my visit in Ipoh. I attended First Assembly of God, Jalan Kampar (Andrew's Mum's Church) which was in Cantonese. Believe it or not, yeah..I attend Cantonese Service and am so blessed with the sharings. Even though I can't understand every word, but I able to grasp the main message. It's about living with "Heart of Dependancy". Pastor Joyce described Scripture Verse taken from Jeremiah 17 and James 4

Jeremiah 17:5-8

5 This is what the LORD says:

"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,

who depends on flesh for his strength

and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands;

he will not see prosperity when it comes.

He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,

in a salt land where no one lives.
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,

whose confidence is in him.
8 He will be like a tree planted by the water

that sends out its roots by the stream.

It does not fear when heat comes;

its leaves are always green.

It has no worries in a year of drought

and never fails to bear fruit."

James 4:13-16

13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. Living with the heart of dependecy..Who can we trust but the Lord? Where does our hope and helps come from but the Father of Life, the Creator of all things? Where else can we go, for You Lord holds the Word of Life.

Oh Lord, thank You! Thank You Daddy for guiding me thru the Year 2006. Thank You for your invisible hands, guiding me thru' the year victoriously. Oh Lord, how foolish are we who refuse to follow you. Oh Lord, forgive our iniquities and flesh of running to the things of the world which is just temporary, just meaningless. Strengthen my faith Lord, to follow You, to depends on You in every circumstances. Stregthen my heart, if anytime I feel I can't do it- help me to see the light, that You can do it thru' me. I trust You for the 2007 ahead, believing that every breath I breathe is for a reason, for a purpose, and nothing is hidden from You sight. Your promise is always Yes, and Amen! It's always for our good! All things Lord, all things work for good for those who loves You..All things, every smile, every sadness, every hurts, every disappointment, every gladness, every opportunities, all things- it's Yours Lord, please use it for Your Glory. Help me to depend on You alone, not my flesh..not what I can do, what You can do thru' me. Gonna trust You Daddy!
