Last Night's Dinner

Went for dinner with some of my colleagues last night. I must say that I quite enjoyed myself. The food was so so but the milk tea was splendid. The service was not fantastic though. Actually I wanted to back out as I was seemingly down with a flu. But I felt much better by the afternoon so I thought that I better go. Needed to get some things off my mind as well. Cool right? Got to take pics with all the babes......

Some Photos of the Conference

That's my supervisor on the left Anthony (a.k.a uncle Sim), followed by Val, Shih Chia, Me (handsome right?) and Mel

This was taken after the conference. We went to have a light snack prior to our appreciation dinner that night.

IT IS FINISHED!

Even though I have not put in very much effort I am sure glad that the conference is over. I am sure many of my colleagues would agree even more so. My eye clinic was the organising commitee for this big eye related conference held yesterday and today. Many of my colleagues were involved in this project. Since I did not attend a number of the meetings I was "arrowed" to be the MC for this event. Which was fine. Turned out to be quite fun indeed. Thank God I was not needed on stage. I just sat comfortably with my helpers at a table by the side of the stage. So that took some of the tension off.

The other fun part of siting by the side was that I had a good view of most in the hall and as you will see later why that helped. :)

We started the whole conference with a performance from a busker by the name of Steven. He was born blind and lived like that 41 years of his life. He played the guitar, sang and played the harmonica as well. His performance was really good and inspired me in my journey towards musical excellence.

Some session were really good. Some really sucked. I actually took some photos in the midst of the conference which showed how bored I was during some of the lectures in the conference.

Not too bad eh? Two asleep and one yawning away.......

Self-explanatary I suppose......

Great! One even reads a story book during
lecture! Forgive my photography skills. Had to be discreet about it. :)

Overall, it was quite an experience for me as a MC for the first time. So glad I did not stutter or misread my lines.

To my colleagues at TTSH eye clinic: "SUPERB JOB DONE!"

Lazy

Been pushing my gym back for about a week already. I WILL go to the gym today. I WILL NOT slack anymore. :)

** Word of God

Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. NIV

A future is what I really need now. I need to see a future.

Pro 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish,...... KJV

My sis would tell me that it's because I have no direction is life that's why I am the way I am (unhappy and such). I guess she is right. Time to look beyond my challenges in life. Feel like the only 2 things that has progressed in my life is my music journey and my age. For now I feel like I am really only existing and not living. God I need help. I really do. I need divine intervention. If not, life is really not worth living, or rather existing. I heard people say that we need to live for a bigger purpose in life beyond ourselves. I struggle with that. How do I do that when I can't even get past myself? I feel trapped. Now the need for someone beside me seems so real and overwhelming that I can't seem to be able to pull myself out of it.

Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will [a]ease and relieve and [b]refresh [c]your souls.] Amplified Bible
This is the verse which God seems to be saying to me now. Think I really need to rest in God. Who else to find solace in other than the all powerful yet loving God?
Proverbs 18: 10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe. NASB
Proverbs 30: 5 Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. NASB
