The past 365 days, is nothing short of amazing.

The things I've been through, people I've met, lessons I've learnt.

I guess it's really true. In times like that, you learn who your true friends who care for you are.
One year on, I am able to live life normally, and have no problems whatsoever. Praise the Lord!

But the things I've gone through the past 1 year, is nothing short of God stretching me, disciplining me and enlarging me.

From stress in studies, to finding friendship, and most of all finding love, it has been a real roller coaster ride.. i guess one of extreme emotions, both sorrow and joy.

But like what Pst Kong said today, God cries when we cry, God laughs when we laugh.
And that's why I know I can go through anything, because even when I am in the deepest valley, He will never leave me nor forsake me. He has a great plan for me, and He is in control at all times.

The past week has also been mind expanding. First time I travelled alone. like alone.
first time I took a plane alone. didn't know anyone, simply took a step of faith and went for a mission trip to Cambodia.

Looking back now, I wonder where my courage came from. But I know it must have been from what God placed in my heart.
and I have totally enjoyed and felt so happy that I am able to help the poorer children in the Banteay Mencheay Province in Cambodia.

The children are beautiful, and they remind me, that God created everyone of the people I see.
That He is working out His beautiful plan for them and He has never forgotten them.

My heart is both happy and yet heavy, when I went to serve. Though I couldn't do much help dental wise, but just being there and helping out wherever I can, I learnt to be a servant to the least of my brethren.
I had to wash the hair of the children and look for lice, cut their nails, sterilize dental instruments and do simple things like pumping balloons.

I guess this trip really confirmed why I wanna do medicine. Because I know that one day, I will have the skill and capacity as a doctor to help these poorer kids in Cambodia, who have no money to see a doctor or a dentist. My heart goes out to them. I want to do my best to study hard and eventually I pray that I will be able to be part of an organization similar to One-2-One, and offer medical-related services to the less fortunate.

Being there for 7 days, made me appreciate more of what I have, in this tiny land of Singapore. the clean water we can drink from the tap, the straight and clean streets/roads. the delicious food and countless more.
I'm very grateful that I'm a Singaporean, and I'm very proud of that too. =)

I truly hope that all of you who are reading this, if u can, do go on a similar humanitarian trip. because it will change your life. i believe that is what cultural mandate is about.
Being your best, so that God can use you in a powerful way to bring about social impact.

Lord, my heart is overwhelmed, and it's all so hard to put into words. But behold, you know it altogether. I know that you hear my prayers, and you see my heart. I pray that the children of Cambodia will continue to be strong and healthy and that many of them will come to know You.

Amen. =)

lots of love, lil' miss geek :).

It's really the simplest things, that makes someone feel loved.

Maybe..it's a good thing to go away and study. start over, start afresh.

do things right like how i always wanted to.

Lord, you know my heart and you know my needs, it's hard to put it into words, it's a mixture of excitement, anticipation and fear.

i guess alot of things can change when two people are far away from one another,and relationships will prob change in such a long time, because it is spatial.

i really hope I still am the person who loves God wholeheartedly and loves people fervently, even no matter where I am, no matter how long later.

These are my timeless values, and I won't change them. I will hold on to them.

lots of love, lil' miss geek :).
