More than life

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006
"The Anthem of My Life" by Andrew Wong (inspired by More Than Life-Reuben Morgan)

Dear Lord Jesus, let this be the anthem of my life. 
That I will love love You, more than anything, anyone, and even more than life itself.
Your grace is so abundant in my life; and Your mercies are new every morning.
The heavens will fade, and the earth disappear, 

But Your Word and promises will persevere.
Most of all Lord Jesus...I thank You, for the scars that You carry.  
Scars that are permanent. Scars that are ugly. Scars that represent your broken body. 
Scars that constantly remind You of me... 
Sometimes when I lose sight of You, I become unsure. Maybe at times, even afraid.
But stay close to me Lord Jesus,

Closer than my heartbeat,

Closer than the air I breathe.
And I will fear nothing. 
You knew me, even when I was in my mother's womb. 
Even when I was formless...You knew exactly how I would look, and You called me by name.
You loved me before I was born,

before I ever knew or accepted You,
before the foundations of the earth.
If I ever stray away from You, bring me back. 
If I ever fall down, pick me up.
If I ever stumble into darkness, be my light.
In return, I have nothing to give You... 

Only my imperfect love and devotion.
But then...that's all You've ever asked of me...
Thank you, Lord Jesus. 

More Than Life by Reuban Morgan
Stand by everything You saidStand by the promises we madeLet go of everything I've doneI'll run into Your open armsAnd all I know

I love You more than lifeI love You more than life

Fall back on everything You've doneFall back on everlasting armsWhen all the world is swept awayYou are all the things I needYou're the air I breathe

How can it beYou were the one on the crossLifted for all our shame?How can it beThe scars in Your hands are for me?You are the king of all

				

Tutorial Cup!

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

        Hey all, sorry i haven’t updated this blog in a while. been busy with uni work. lectures are becoming ridiculously hard. sigh…maybe i just need to work harder :)
        Anyway, last Thursday we had our tutorial cup. What’s that u say?? Well, it’s the ultimate tournament that lasts for a few weeks here at Bond Uni. It’s so popular that soon everyone will be asking "World Cup?? What’s that??". Haha…as u can all see, i’m still sore from Australia losing to Italy. sigh…sucha tragedy…yet life goes on…
       Oh yea, about the tutorial cup. It’s an inter-tutorial group competition held among first year med students. Last week, my group "The Kuldip-ians" (named after our tutor-Prof Kuldip Bedi; formerly known as "The Candy Canes") practically destroyed all other groups in the Tug-o-War competition. Woohoo!!And since I was the only med student with enough brains to bring a camera, I became the unofficial photographer for the event. Here are the pics of some of the groups:

P6220044 The Kuldip-ians; a small rag-tag band, but strong and dominating nonetheless. Our team is led by Stuart. We weren’t able to get a uniform in time for last week because Stuart’s friend passed away. But this week…we sure will.

P6220068 G1- This is the all-red, super united squad led by the small but bossy Jeanne. Although they lost to "the Kuldip-ians", they won overall due to team participation and costume. Bleh!

P6220055
Led by Lipi, the 2nd degree Tae Kwon Do black belt, they are called "Bling it on".

P6220061
Led by Anthony, this band call themselves the Pink Panthers.

P6220059 No idea what this team is called. Forgot liao…

P6220064 The Kuldip-ians showing how it should be done…

This Thursday, however, we’ll be playing a different game- Ultimate Relay. So, I’ll keep u guys posted on that.

Great weekend and all the best…

    Hey everyone, just wanna say all the best to all my Sydney Uni friends who will have their exams this coming week and the next. I trust u guys studied hard during stuvac and I’m sure all of u will do exceedingly well. Don’t stress and have faith in God!
    Well, I haven’t been blogging in a while, coz I’ve been busy with uni work. Assignments are piling up and I’m going for my first placement in an old folks home this wednesday :)
    As some of you may know, last weekend I returned to Sydney for less than 48 hours, but it was worth it coz I met up with my wonderful family. It was really good coz it coincided with the time that Denise and Wai Choong were back in Sydney. Praise God for that! So here are some pics:

    Hey all, its late and I just came back from studying with some friends, but for some odd reason I feel like blogging. First of all, I just wanna wish my mommy dearest a very Happy Birthday!!! You’ve been amazing in my life and I can’t thank God enough for you. So thank you for being the great mom and person that you are. You’ve not only inspired me, but countless people around you. May God bless you abundantly in everything you put your heart and hands to. Love you so very very much!! *Hugz*
    The past weekend was exhausting, but I had great fun with my friends. Eugenie (my friend from like the beginning of time…) came over to Gold Coast to visit. Thanks for dropping by :) So, we decided to meet up at Surfer’s Paradise on Friday, go to Movieworld with a coupla my friends on Saturday and to Byron Bay with Alvin on Sunday. To fully view pics, just right click and open it in a new window or tab. Otherwise, left click it, and click again using the scrolly thing on your mouse (if u got one) and u can scroll the pics up and down.
