A month passed since the last time....i reali wonder what and where have i spent most of the time doing...Uni life definitely is passing faster than i initali thought it would be ...But it is definitely exciting to be working towards the calling God have brought me to on top of being a wife to Josh, a fren to you all and a daughter to two loving families.
Uni life is one that is what i have been looking forward to and the amount of mental stimulation it is giving me is absolutely empowering. I have no idea what Uni education is doing to me but suddenly, i'm able to go back asking lots of questions (without feeling stupid), replying questions with my own anwsers knowing that there is no standard answer to everything. I truly am enjoying the system of questioning, reflecting, and debating and most importantly having fun..
Gone are the day where our answers got to be text book like. Gone are the days when one study just to be in the yop few percent of the cohort. Gone are the days when i ahve to learn sth that i just am not interested in.
Here are finali the days of liberation for me. Liberation to study a passion tat have been thru different magnitudes of heat thru the years. I know there had been periods where my passion for health seemed to falter and even at a point came close to being blown out. There were also times in which my passion overwhelmed me so much that i still so rememeber the days i sat surfing the net for more and more and more info about the course of study i yearn to take till my hand cramp, eyes sting, butt aore, back ache...yet none of those physical "ailements " is a hindrance to me surfing for hours many of a time.
Here are the days...i know more or less the direction God is taking me...the flame continues to burn. Very often, it burns stronger whenever a dose of flamable info is poured on it. Or when it has the chance to grab its hands on some info that lies jsut outside that ring of flames. Anyways...i'm not perfect...neither is the burning bonfire within me...there are times when i jsut want to lead a simpler life of being a wife and support this family by heading out to work. But very often, the thirst of learning often put me back to Uni the next day all set to learn more...
Whether you understand the above doesnt reali matter....just me trying to sort some of the thoughts out in my mind. After not being in the education system for a while, think i can get pretty overwhelm in this way when suddenly i'm learning so much again. Anyways...life is pretty much of settled routine once uni started....
There reali isn't alot of Asians in the health science school at uni at all....Well, i'm pretty much alright about it but whenever you do see one, and finali get to speak to one,esp when they are singaporean...i realise how much i do miss speaking without any effort at all. You can speak without the other party sayin,"I beg your pardon?" you can so freely use your la's and lor's and do not even have to worry about them thinkin you are speaking in an alien English language.
I'm thankful tht Josh have long since picked up and understand lots of Singlish terms...yeah, he still ahve a way to go but mind you, he is pretty good at speaking Singlish that maybe in another year's time, you can even call him a true blue Singaporen ah..(okay maybe Ang Moh Singaporean since the aussie acent is pretty hard to get rid of you know..) =P
Yes...i'm missing home...missing having dogs around all the time..missing the fellowship with the KSS gurls...missing the food...missing the typical Singaporean lifestyle....
But I'm truly thankful up here...truly blessed...
Just celebrated Rachel's (Josh's 3rd sis) bdae last week and this week is Josh's . He indeed is very pleased with my pressie and the little surprises i have prepared for him. Call me a private person but i dun reali like to boast about the things i do for him or give him...But i wld tell you abt it if you reali wanna know...So we had a great week so far and i'm reali looking forward to studying more physiology after this blog. We are learning so much about the human body and Australian public health and health service management that my mind is about to blow up with so many interesting info consistently flowing thru...
Heard that Sarah is coming to Aust too ah....As much as it seems like we are being placed in different places....i know God has a purpose in making us realise how precious the frenship we share...Indeed He is wise to put us in different walks of life and circumstances so we can always share the constracting lives we lead and deepen our understanding in many different aspects in life...=)
May the Lord shine His face upon you, may the Lord guide you, May the Lord keep and bless you till we all meet again....=)
