then yst heard another bad news. my dad's body checkup results came back. his alpha fetoprotein level went up again. it is one of the substance tt had too high lvl the previous time when they discover the cyst in his liver 3 years back. honestly, quite disturbed as though someone reached out their hand into my stomach, squeeze it and turn it round and round into knots. he's going for his scan on wed. hopefully nothing's wrong. hai, just ruins my mood for the holiday. suddenly wanna stay home and save money. well, i promised, i'll have faith. pls gimme what i could take, Big o Daddy up there...

okay, enough saddness, enough moodiness, now for some gd news. went to cck to work today. quite happy, made some new friends too! 2 lab tech friends and i saw stella and fadly there again! zarinah is there too. heh, so basically working with ppl i know. but maybe too long nv collect money, forgot alot of procedures, so made some booboos today. but stella and zarinah saves the day.

heard from stella she got 7 As for her As and jasline got 8. jasline's bf got 7 As too. wohoo.. the jasline's gonna apply for medicine! yay! she's on her way to achieve her dream career. stella on the other hand....tricky situation. she's been accepted by uk imperial uni(empiral or imperial? I FORGOT!) for biomed but she might be forgoing the chance to go cause she doesnt have enuf money.

"sell my hse also not enough for my sch fees you know. 40 k per year and i not sure if tt includes lodging..."

then she was looking through the book of scholarships and marking those which she qualify to apply. then she ask "eh, u can apply yu rensheng scholarship if u're taking TCM in NTU hor?"

then i said "o....maybe...they offer scholarships to go to beijing to study the 4th and 5th yr"

then she replied, with utter shock..."what! u havent applied?! today last day leh..."

haha, so cute, then i said i dun qualify for scholarships, then she say "aiya, you may nv know mah...they might love ppl like you, interested in TCM"

and she goes on looking at her list of scholarships, pointing at one which i forgot which and said "u know why i wouldnt get this? cause they hate bio! they wun take me?!" with a tone of desperation. so funny and so drama. so pray tt she gets her scholarship if not it would be such a waste!

and 2nd better news, credit goes to daddy. while attending wedding dinner at conrad hotel 2-3 months back, one of the staff accidentally spilled orange juice on my dad's shirt. so as a result, they lent my dad a shirt and washed my dad's shirt for him. on returning the shirt to my place a few days after the wedding, they have also brought along a gft for apology--->teddy bear wearing conrad hotel shirt. haha. then my dad's colleague say it's useless and suggested my dad to ask for a better compensation. haha. i didnt know whether it was my dad or his colleague who asked for the compensation in the end but all i knew was the better compensation tt we've got was 3 free buffet vouchers at conrad hotel this sunday night. what a gd timing so can shun bian celebrate my dad's bday there. haha. thank God! tt's why i say, i just felt tt God gave us just enough to enjoy a good meal and carry on with our lives.

for i know my strength comes from Him.

please grant me serenity to accept what i cannot change God and a heart of thanks for all You did for me.
