just taking a little break with nat king cole...

had a great time at peak yesterday with mercedes and had a few thoughts, since i last wrote about the my email devotional on "music of the storm"...
just like with mercedes, i hadn't enjoyed my med school days as it just felt wrong being there then. remembering how odd it was for me to blend in with both the jupas crowd and with the non-jupas crowd (ok, i know i don't seem to belong anywhere!), the competitiveness of people around me, and just the academic craziness! though now reflecting on those days, i thank God so much for giving me the opportunity. it's overwhelming to look back after years to only realise how God has directed me to where i am now. so, to kandice, do cherish your time in med school. it'll be such a joy to reflect on your days...

after my story about "music in the storm", mercedes too, heard a similar story in a sermon at church. it startled us how God uses a big storm to break us down totally in order to shape us into someone new, how he wants us to be... merce always reminds me everytime i see her, "don't be scared of being yourself", and i believe there are qualities that i have that God sees as good... well sometimes.

and we were talking about guys... i said to merce, you know caucasian guys are like... oh wait, many hong kong boys are too, they can say the most alluring things to girls, but they don't really mean much! and then i discovered that it's nothing to do with culture, or geographical location, whether you are canadian, british or chinese, it is the Christian way of living that i look for. though sad to say, there aren't many guys that i know! who live in the Christian way these days. but i know, i should start off with myself first...
