The weather is freezing! But the house is nice and warm thanks to a modern invention known as ducted heating. The internet's still not working. But I guess it's actually been a good thing because then there's less of a distraction. Considering that the bed is already a big distraction, that's a big plus.


Studied with some classmates just now. 1 more night and 1 more day to study for OSCE. Will get back to it once I am done with dinner and a quickie nap. The life of a medical student. Was reading someone's blog about her deciding whether or not to accept her place for NUS medicine. Well, coming from the point of view of someone who did not get into NUS med, I think it's more of the depriving someone of a place that is sad. I was lucky that I have parents who could afford to send me away to study what I wanted. But I also have friends who had to give up a life-long dream just because of money. Now that is quite sad. Honestly, bar the prestige, medicine isn't for everybody. Even after 3 and a half years I have days when I ask myself why I wanted to do this so badly. And seriously, if you think being a doctor is cool, it isn't.


On another note, pastor shared in church today that God wants to break you such that His light can shine through you, just like light coming from within a cracked pot. I think 1 thing I asked myself today is how much do I trust in the promises of God. Even if situations may point away from what God has promised. And that in all situations, to believe that God really has the best plans. When it deals with matters of the heart, it always hurts. Trust me. But that's when you have to learn to give it up.


So yeah, give it up Ivy.


Standing on the promises of God my King.
Standing, standing
Standing on the promises of God.
