:)

It was a wonderful evening today....
even though the near future seemed obscure, but i believe God is teaching me to live one day at a time...
I so totally chilled out tonight!! having just securing a flunk in physiology in endocrine this morning and a death knell of impending doom coming next monday (lower limb test), i couldn't believe i would just throw away an evening like this... and felt good about it too :P
was generally depressed this week... even though i had a super time at the class retreat (see my facebook photos!) on the past weekend, i still couldn't put the moody feeling off my shoulders..

didn't expect a phone call and a work out could change this much...
just telling someone about your problem could actually help alot, even though the problem still isn't solved..
and working out for the first time in gym was a really good experience... but my arms are sore all over though...(wonder if i could use them tomorrow...)
like my gym partner tells me " you've just gotta kill the muscles, wait one week to grow back... then kill them again!!" i've got them killed alright.. luckily typing uses more of fingers then biceps...else i wouldn't be doing this piece at midnight...

come to think of it, its really late... i gotta get a little bit of study in.. then sleep..
signing out: a sleepy Jason...

Reality Check

Very very very busy week....
missing classes isn't such a good idea afterall...
i still haven't catch up with what i missed

then again, there's no time to catch up...
women hostel day is just over and men hostel day is this weekend..
hostel day = a lot of work
we're working from 6 -12 everday now as such... this week its gonna probrably increase till 2am..
which means sleeping is carried over to the classroom!

but then, this is all part of exciting hostel life...

some good news and not so good news..
good news: i topped the class in anatomy spotters!!
bad news: i'll probrably flunk my physio and biochem...

after coming back to india, there is a truth that cannot be denied...
missing people will probrably be a core part of my life..
i miss home!! n all you guys...
then again, when i'm home, i'll miss india too...

there's someone that i would really want to call.. someone i really miss...
but then again...life's like that...
somethings are meant to be left aside... until a certain suitable time hopefully..??
afterall, i can't multitask...

signing off...

Home here and There

Had a wonderful time at home....

it is so arranged that I was able to meet up with most (but not all) of my dearest friends...
thanks to ah ping.. (all the best to ur work in Singapore)..

i wonder... why so many of my friends are all headed to singapore... perhaps there really are many opportunities to grab hold of in that garden city...
i count no less than 10 of my school cum aenon mates who are i singapore...

Home... its really where nice to be...
but then again, no one can stay home forever... (it does get boring after a while)... especially when there are more things to do and our mind is concerned about them...
i'm talking about studies of course... and other things besides....
speaking of studies.. ive got a lot of catching up to do after missing some classes and class tests..haiz..

but what must be done, must be done..

oh, this trip back home was quite fruitful... got my visa done.. 1 year only.. so i have t come back again next year...(much to my mum's delight, harhar)..
met up with many of my friends... and very happy that all of them are heading towards their goals... except maybe more prayers are needed for some who are still a bit confused...

anyway...
got the break i needed... and some home cooked food..!

all geared up and prepared to face challenges...
India, here i come!!

Going home. exciting. exhilarating. disaster??

Didn't think i would be able to go home so soon... only 3 months away...
though it seems like a year already...

Looking forward to home and all, but the main objective is to get my visa done..
which means more paperwork, and spelling d i s a s t e r with a capital D....

getting into india is problematic enough, now lo and behold, getting out is equally frustrating...
apparently there is something called an exit permit... which allows a foreigner to leave the country.. but the paperwork behind it is a long train...

went to the police station this morning (bunking some classes in the process)... they told me to come back later...
went to the library to get my flight ticket and some application letters printed out... the printer is not in the mood of functioning today...
went to the principal's office to get my official leave signed... principal is out today...
again to the office to get my letter for the visa... its not ready come back tomorrow.. it will be ready then ( she said the exact same thing last friday)...

haiz...
only God knows 1000 ways to solve the situation...of which none I can perceive...
sure hope the Psalmist knows what he's saying when he said to trust in the Lord...and He will direct your paths...

hope to see you guys this weekend... if not...
oh well, its not the end of the world yet is it? (though I hope it will come soon) :P

Apple blues

Can't help noticing the dust collecting on Mun Mun's husband...

wondering how to clean arr??

guys anyone suggestions??

A long time since returning to this blog...

in between many things have happened, some interesting, some less so, some has become routine....

During this week, three major events happened,
1) 1st general body meeting for the men's hostelites

2) My 1st dessection of the palm

3) Christmas Choir

The GB (general body meeting) was a totally new experience...though a tiresome one at the same time...
it is where al the decisions and accountings for the hostel is made and presented and voted for...
as freshers, we have to attend 5 GB's to obtain our voting rights...

so we basically sat through GB, from 9pm-2am... and listen to them discuss about the coming prime event : Men Hostel Day...
Every year there will be a project and everyone (mainly the freshers) will have to work on it...
we usually will reconstruct some famous structures of the world (last year was London bridge)...
then there will be lots of decorating in the hostel and a play an all...

And the whole project is like some top secret file.. and no one is supposed to leak anything out... that goes for women hostel day also, which would be held 1 week prior to men's hostel day... which wold naturally mean the strong desire of both sexes to outdo the other...

So i'm not disclosing any details except that i'm happy that i'm forced to exercise everyday in manual labor... which i hope will help me develop some muscle by the end of it...

its tiring though, and it ends up not having quite enough time for studies : i.e. the schedule for the past few days are classes from 8-5, work on the project from 6.30-8.30, hostel GB from 9-2...

i try to slip in some minutes of study between intervals, and even stayed up till 3 to study a bit more before sleeping.... well getting up the next day proves to be a problem...
I was never so glad that Sabbath came this week... a break from this viscous cycle..

but then again, this is part of hostel life that i will have to learn to love (afterall, one won't get as much sleep either when one is doing houseman ship...)


dissection this week was great!! i thoroughly enjoyed the palmar region... all the fine nerves and arteries, and not to mention the 20 odd muscles in the hand..
it motivated me to study lots before coming to the dissection hall too..coz when one is dissecting, you have to know what you are looking for... :)..hopefully, i get to dissect the back of the hand too....

really enjoyed my sabbath.. apart from getting enough sleep the previous night and a break from the routine, it rained and refreshed the whole of Vellore...
there were 3 baptisms this week and met three PK who came with their dad who was officiating the baptism..
they were travelling alot it seems and now they have been two years in Lebanon .. just imagine, Lebanon.. the Mediterranean, masked women, sand, army tanks, Jordan...

then we started choir practice... for the christmas program... all i can say is that indians are good singers, and Jiwan is a wonderful conductor...!!

ok.. i'm stopping here... the guys have come to my room and it'll be a long gassing session coming up.. (don't worry, i've been studying in the morning)

August

Its unbelievable...
I am in india for more than a month now... and still surviving!!
anyway.. i didn't imagine time could pass by so soon..
soon it'll be the end of 2009, then 2010 then 2014...i wonder when Jesus is planning to come...

Getting used to college life... and got to know some really wonderful people...
First time to feel a real sense of belong at church this weekend...
there was a college function this weekend... and i went early there... that was when i really felt that i missed church...
so i skipped the function and went to church!
it was amazing... i felt like i'm home... and at Dr McGee's home for potluck too...!

i guess i'm already starting to form close ties with india...
tho i still miss home!!
thanks K for connecting skpe and the video... i haven't watched it yet.. i hope i can download it...
server speed here is really unstable..
miss u guys!!
