Heah shums, sorry. i did post something last nite but for some reason it didn't show up. anyways... another day, more thoughts, more things to be thankful for =)

Last night, at my classmate's birthday party, one of my friends remarked, "We're gonna be rich you know, freaking rich!" mind you at the time he was a bit tipsy at the time. But I've been thinking the last couple days, that the "things" that mean most to me are aren't actually "things" and certainly don't have a price tag. Time with loved ones, family and friends, a nice relaxing day, the joy in seeing someone get baptized (congrats Khai Nhu!)... these are just a few examples of things that money can't buy but are more precious than any possession that I own or might ever own. I guess seeing the frailty of life really made me rethink my priorities....

On friday I had the privilege of celebrating my birthday with a group of close friends and family. We had laughs over silly games and tons of food but importantly time together. I really thank God for the people He's placed in my life to inspire and encourage me... I especially am grateful for Jas and Tammy who organized all the decor and games and my mom who prepared all the food (she's been spoiled for the last 10 years with a maid... I could see it was tough for her to do it all herself but she never complained. O... i did't help cos it was supposed to be a surprise =p)

Ok back to studying... I find it a real challenge to study heart failure or coronary heart disease though... Its not just test material anymore... these are drugs that could have saved my father, had he been in a developed country... attitude check... what I am really studying for?

Today I'm thankful for:
- life, health
- a time to praise God - I love sunday mornings! - Glad you could make it too Jenny =)
- friends - i'm sure you're all angels...
- gabe... I'll blog about him soon, I know some of my classmates don't think he exists cos he's never around =p
