Magic of Kindness

May God Bless This Concert & The Audience

Belinda Carlisle charmed the crowd with renditions of her hits.

The 53-year-old Carlisle was an ideal combination of grace and gusto, beginning with more mellow songs like Circle in the Sand and Vision of You, before raising the tempo and energy rapidly with her smash hits like Leave a Light On and Heaven is a Place on Earth.
Pop duo Bananarama then took to the stage to woo the crowd with "mambo moves" to songs such as I Heard a Rumour and Love in the First Degree.

Call of Life.

Gandhi

If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. ... We need not wait to see what others do.

Choice

Responsibility

Its time to take charge whenever responsibility falls on the shoulders.

Never really imagined that there would be so much responsibility that i would have to carry in the fields i am involved in. Medicine yes, its a definite. We are long past post acceptance.

Yet in the field of magic, now it means that your life has to be a living testimony to the words you preach and encourage, responsibility is great. Hope all these helps to affirm the values within. And pray that through these different sessions, there will be people that are changed and would go on to live a better life than they currently are.

This is my desire. To honor You. Give me sufficient grace to go through each phase of life.

Residency

I want to acquire competence in the discipline chosen and
acquire it in-depth. I want to hone my intellectual faculties; to ask questions fearlessly and seek answers with persistence; to develop
individuality and conviviality and to learn for collective good. I can achieve these objectives only in the right environment, and in the
program offered for study in your institution. I also believe that I have better chances of updating and scaling up my knowledge in your
facility.

Support

Frankly i do not know how many ppl come across this page but in any case if you do come across here, i invite you to join me in the prayers i have for our fellow batchmates.

Its been a long 4 years of medical school and now we are entering into the 5th year. Somehow, even when the journey is ending, most of us are far from being fully prepared to step into the full responsibility of a doctor.

We are still one year away from completing the mbbs. Yet, there have been numerous things that have just struck people around me. In just one day of meet up as a batch, somehow i feel the burdens in the different people around me as they share about their troubles, be it with their family, what they themselves are facing right now, or how some other batch mate is involved in a issue that if unresolved, could only prove to be a downhill descend to major breakdown.

Somehow, i cant help but feel myself deeply set in what they feel and experience. Each one of us has pains and things that we have to go through and at some point of time, need help and support from someone else around us. Here i just want to encourage you, if you are reading this, that year 5 isnt just about becoming an excellent SIP student, to get into the residency of your own choice, to complete that research project for the prof to like you, to butter up relationships with high ranking ppl. But it is definitely a time that we have to stand and encourage each other. Take the first step to ask people who are more quiet about their life, share with them your troubles that in turn they can open up to you such that you can help to encourage them with your words. Ultimately, i dont know how many of you feel the same way as i am, but i just cant bear to see past year's event repeat itself, especially on someone who is not just a stranger, but a friend that you have shared joyous times with, spent that extra time to celebrate his or her birthday with.

May i encourage each of us, christian or not, whatever your religion is, to take up the active role of loving kindness to each of our fellow colleagues around us. Whoever they are, wherever they are. You never know when the short amount of time you spend with them instead of reading your textbook may just make the great difference in their perspective of life.

I hope that God will empower each of us with wisdom to handle the different issues that are presented to us, energy that we can be there to help out with the weaker one, capacity that we can be able to tolerate the upcoming challenges and most importantly love, for our fellow colleagues not just in the mere sense of the word, but in actions and thoughts that we can bless them through our actions and words.

Year 5 can only get tougher, yet it is up to us to make a difference, for together, we are strong and can overcome obstacles, no matter how large they are.

Rainbow

at the end of every storm, there is always a rainbow.

And that is always sufficient for one to hold on. :)

Past

Its been a really long time since i last came back here.

Guess its a bit dusty too, and perhaps just as gloomy as the state i am in. Some may call this fate, some call this cause and effect. Yet sometimes things like that just hurt that much. Probably more so this time since more was devoted.

Why? Would this ever pass? I will never know.

And yea it feels like the same thing before, just that it was in a reverse role. And if we take it from that perspective, i know and understand why and how.

Still whats done is done. Past is past. Move on. M5.

Hi

I wonder how often i come back to take a look at this! =)

Pain

Pain is but just a feeling.

Seems like as the frequency increases, the intensity decreases.

Still, pain.

Years have passed...

Looking back.. its really been many years man...

Now some friends in princeton.. some in dubai.. omg i want to go also...
mymy....
Guess things that used to take priority in life have since changed...
i used to really want an ice cream.. and really want a macdonalds, and a kfc for that matter...

now? not really.. maybe ice cream still yes after the level 5 spiciness at sunset grill haha. but i mean.. priorities really shift when we age.. we AGE.. man.

Magic.. how much joy it has brought others i can never fully weigh it out, but i am really glad it has touched the lives of others when they needed it. I am glad to have done my part for community. And how much it has progressed... i used to say i have been doing it for like 5 years.... yet now... its a clear like 8 - 9 years... we age...

Money... used to have this thing with money... not knowing whether one really has enough... but yes.. now... it is definitely enough. god has been really good to me..

Love.. still searching for the perfect one. somehow i have put everything in Your hands to decide already... searching for the Perfect one by ones strength and energy drains out too much... will be using the energy to study patho and do other amazingly crazy things.

Spirit .. yes matured a long way since like 3 years ago.. thanks melody, think i never regretted that day that i converted to following Christ. Guess it was then that i found my inner peace, my true destiny in life, and the potential i can exhibit in me... wow.. just look at me last time and me now... so much changed. so many wonderful changes...

Medicine ... what to say.. year 4 is done very soon and very very soon we will all be running around going ho ho ho ... sounds daunting but god will always be there and i know it will be alright.

Family ... still praying for the same thing since a few years ago.. i wonder what happens down the road... and i wonder if i can stand up strong to it... give me strength and peace.

Friends ... thank god for my friends.. every single one of them. clinical grp, og, cell group, vcf, sec sch friends, jc friend, church friends, other friends ... all friends... i love u guys .... anw recently i nv imagined the cell that i was leading was soo united.. guess i was really really touched to see how we have bonded over the course of 2 years... thank god for it. and thank god for taking it to the next level next year as well. next year probably level 15 sunset grill ... lol..

what else... the list goes on and on.. i did poi.... created lights of hope... did a coin throw... put on a fantastical concert... got a new phone haha playing on it is bad i shld cut that... income this year was good... patho soon... thank god for all the different medical postings too... was really nice to learn and see so much, and thank god for the safety. there's so much that could ve happened but we are all alright!

ah so much said. i guess in life... one thing is certain. To love god whole heartedly, to love others fervently. That said. People only realise the former after they have seen the latter.

Lord i pray in this new year of 2011. rain down rains of transformation and change us that we can be a testimony to your love. thank you once again for all the blessings of 2010.
