Bride's maid the last time


My best friend get marry too in the coming Sunday and I am her Bride's maid.

Looking forward to it...

Marriage is a new beginning and a hard one.

We really have nothing to control over, except to offer ourselves, and can only ask for God's help.

I sincerely feel the fear of uncertainty and about the different possibilities, possible difficulties, possible disappointments to come.

Do I really want to stay in this commitment?
One can only take one bit at a time.
One bit, bit by bit..

Is this a choice that has the support of my Father?

The only question left.

My Father, can I rely on your help? I can only have your help to help myself and my other half.

Late for my Plane

I am usually very late for everything.... and now for the first time, this belate-ness get over the broad...

For the first time, I am too late to broad on my plane.

It costs me the price of another 15hr-direct flight ticket!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is a lot to me!!!

I am already calculating how many dancing lessons or what that I can cut as a repay....


---------------

Dear David,

I really thank you very much for the reading of the VINE!!!

I have been thinking a lot these days about it.. I might very well get deeper into the vine of God but I missed the chance, or I have overlooked, or not treasuring the occassion, and trying to stand up on my own feet.

Stand into the shoes, stick into , plung into the trunk of Life... I am still pondering about it, about my block, and the temptations around me that divert me dangerously.


I should really take this as a lesson, and regret about not pulling up myself together to complete my tasks before I go on a trip...

xxxxx----******-------xxxxxx


Praying to God..I speak more on the phone these days than openning my heart to Him. Sometimes I don't know if I am already talking with him, and whether I am subtly receiving messages from him. I tend to seek for concrete responses from real person in front of me... and in a way, this is providing a bigger cover to me to hide behind, and not really get naked in front of myself.

no energy

HI David,
Thanks for your information on nano-MRI machines.....exciting news indeed.
Though not many groups can afford that.

no mood really to work on so many things at the same time....

The mental health business... I don't know if it is getting anywhere.... I hope it can really help people.

My own crisis...want to rest and get away into new grounds...rather than staying at the same place.

Yes, waiting is not denial, it is just waiting. As I get my head into working, it doesn't feel so much like waiting.

Looking at my crisis, it is fire everywhere.... I kind of feel low energy to fight the fire, and I sit and see it spread....very horrible...

low low low energy...............

Pray for my German Oral Exam today!

Hi Hi....

Very very nervous...I hope my German vocabulary are still with me.. after some last minute revision.

I have been catching up with my Thai today and the whole of tonight. I hope I am doing fine.

I know I can catch up with my Thai reading and comprehension as the Thai vocabulary are not too difficult. I may have to do more revision on my oral later on, right before my Thai Oral.

But Now I have to focus again on my German. It is my last chance of studying it seriously. I guess I have to live on whatever level I have now in the coming years, as I really don't have any chance of learning more.

What about you?

Would you pray for me? I have my German Oral Exam in 16 hrs.

I have to revise the related vocabulary: environment protection, food, weather, travelling, family & relationships, aging, employment and emigration. Some basic present, and past tense.

Please help me.

I have not been working on my other areas in these few days...

Help me to concentrate and to use the remaining time sensibly.
I also have to have a realistic picture of my limitations and capabilities.

Best regards.

Low motivation

On the edge of PsyD bankrupcy


I intend to pray with K of my German exam on 23 - 25 Apr, and my Thai exam on 3 - 8 May. Each has a written exam which I can't really cope because of my poor grammar and lack of vocabulary. Also an oral exam for each of the language with an external examiner.

On the other hand I still have a 6 assignments 3 months overdue; 1 assignments 2 weeks overdue; 1 book 2 months overdue.

And I have big decisions in my research direction which would impact on my CP development, career development, and my divine call actualization...

And I have 2 papers due to submit to a journal for many months of which I haven't started on them at all......



I feel so much behind everything that I ...

God My Father... why am I doing this all by myself? Where can I and how come I do not seek for you, your power, your take-over?




-----------------
I dreamed to be hold by you tightly in your arms, in your support & encouragement, attention and understanding but you are only prepared to help me if I have some small or material problem.

He is not KB any longer.

Maybe in the States...

Thesis Re-submission Approved!



My supervisor has approved of my re-submission to have amended the text according to examiners' comments up to her satisfaction.

Finally, sent it off for binding.

I should have started work today.

Anyway, I am off for work during office hour once again from tomorrow.

My new office has just been installed today. Still waiting for the partitions to come, and the desktops to be set up....



A new day..... a new era.....




although the relevant papers have not arrived yet, I am the first PDF in my department ah...

Enjoy . Move forward .




Dear KB



It is my birthday tomorrow lar.... another year has passed...






I don't know if I am moving forward at all....
I wish I am more productive la...


I want to enjoy the process of doing homework and assignments... and this is my birthday wishes...



otherwise why should I do any more of these degrees..?



They are the process and life through which I grow, I reflect, and take the opportunity to learn and add on to become a pastoral psychologist....






I get a bit lost these days....


I feel that I still have such a long road to go and even though I have room and time to move forward, I fail to make a move...


Maybe I should join you guys for some badminton or some sports.....

I feel so happy to hear about your fruitful Easter holiday! I had 4 full days of workshop ah...It is good to go through all these, good or bad, under God's love...


I feel very distant from everything, everybody these days... even when I am with others...


I do feel more close to you. Maybe both of us feel that God is in charge even though we don't understand everything.



























Love,


Gal

I've passed my PhD oral defense!

Today at 3pm was my oral defense. It took 20 mins to present a summary of my thesis, and about 40 mins to answer questions from my examiners.

They had decided passed my oral examination and to let me address and attend to their comments in my thesis amendments with 3 months.

Cheers! Thank God!

My Last Day before PhD Thesis submission....ooooOOooh!

Only 5 more hours to go!
I am still looking at the reference ONLY!!!
I haven't quoted the right reference yet!
There are about 100 of them, and I have to go through them one by one, and also correct them into APA formatting.
Can I make up a table of all the relevant research in the field? At this moment?
I wish I can learn the most from this writing experience.  I am NOT.
My boss has not been satisfied at ALL with my writing.... I haven't got my ideas layed out clearly.

LEGO By-election Campaign -- when I came out from Graham Festival

I have voted too!!!
And picked up two forms for my mum and her friend to register
themselves as a voter on the way.
...
I changed my mind right before I enter the voting venue...
Before, I have been mainly considering the character,
the pragmatism, of the candidate.
.... But then ,....
I am afraid one party is loosing too much of their
influence... so I vote for the party of the candidate...in the end.


Very much out of my own expectation too!!!!

Live Video of Franklin Graham Festival in Happy Valley (last day 2 Dec 07)

Completely FULL at 3pm already at the HK Stadium!!

And by 3.30pm, already full in the South Sports Club.

I finished the FULL thesis and email to my boss at 4.05pm, rush to take my lunch, and I arrive at the HK Stadium at 4.30pm.

Policeman said, "no entrance, full." "Oh, you are a counselor, and they need counselor there in the HK Race Course. So go there, take a $15 taxi ride, and get there!"

So I took $17 taxi ride and arrive there safe and sound at 4.45pm.

Still singing a few hymns. Then at 5.10pm, Graham appeared on the screen.

He Asked people whether they want to accept Jesus as their personal savior.

People moved down immediately as Graham invite them to come down from their seats to accept Jesus Christ. But there were also a lot of people who went down and dashed to the gate! The "feeding", or the echo because of slight distance between different source of sound, yet this made comprehension very difficult.

Nevertheless, a lot of people gathered down there. I quickly picked my bag, my camera, and dashed there as I need to offer newly converted people explanation of our faith, fill in the forms, and invitation for future Church activities. I walked and walked and wondered around.....

Left with my Biggest Bottle neck

Yesterday, before mid-night: I am very grateful that I have COMPLETED all 5 assignments la!! The other 12 assignments I have delayed, 2 of them due on 9 Dec; my first Sun Lecture on Marriage on 9 Dec too!!! Then 10 assignments due on 30 Dec... a Great relief for me indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I am left with my Biggest Task. Something which has always been my bottleneck. My difficulty.
I know God have given me enough strength, given me enough training, to be able to get it DONE, to think through and write all of them out LOGICALLY.

I am sure I do not get it Beautifully done, nor would it be perfect.
JUST put down all the ideas that I have in a Logical way will do!!!!!!!!

It is a hard job. I have to put in traumendous efforts. But I have the ability, just a hard, it is totally possible.

I am NOT allowed ANYMORE time. I cannot allow myself that. I am to live with this time limit and so THIS lower quality. Just readable and sensible will do. No Grand Things!!!!!

I have done NOTHING so far today. And I am hungary now, have to eat. Just finish it quick.
I still have a full-day lesson tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I understand my Results?

What I have added to the body of knowledge regarding the anatomy, the neuroanatomy assocated with schizophrenia?

I have to look at it in simplier terms. How can I finish everything by tomorrow night? Do I just forget all about my other assignments???

I really feel so torned between different things I am like drinking and fooling around all day, and for 2 full weeks. And in the past 6 days, I have done absolutely nothing, and have not even opened the document of Ch3 at all.

I am already worrying about myself, and I have even made my very kind bosses MAD. How can I have done that at all?????????????

Can I have accomplished anything better?
I shouldn't have said this. I am indeed in a thankful state.
I should be able to accomplish it. Can I just put aside stuff that I can delay in handling them??? And focus on things that I can do??? Can I ??? Or just use them as an easy way out when I am tired?

I should not have done so many things ... focus and focus..
but I have to go out now because of my other committments.
