FINALLY update

I totally suck at updating blogs. Keep forgetting i have one. Thanks to those who reminded me about it and updating. will try to update more =). prepare for a super LONG entry....of bek's extremely boring life!

WOOHOO first year down nearly - well no more new learning except obviously of those lectures that i've missed (anatomy fri 6-8pm lectures)! SOTE finished =(. SOTE was such an awesome group - gonna miss it - we had 3 amazing leaders and a great bunch of youngens (i am actually quite old in the group! 4th or 5th youngest haha).

SWOTVAC/exams -
Some reason i'm not stressed about exams (well not yet which is good and bad) - probably coz my first exam is 2 weeks away and it's not worth that much. If i'm stressed - i'm really stressed and can get sick. If i'm not stressed i might not get work done so there should be an optimum level of stress. need motivation! Its a strange feeling to be so not stressed - not complaining exactly ;D.

Operation Christmas Child -
wow, awesome just sums it up! 3000 boxes in 1 night! new record apparently. great team work. To be part of something so life changing to the lives of disadvantaged children in different countries (eg. vietnam) - thanks to yf and god for such an opportunity for yfers to serve in this way. it was quite sad that we had to chuck away so much stuff into the 'reject bin' but fortunately some of it may go to other charities. have no idea why so many people put small lollies and marbles for 3 year olds! OH YEAH, Had so much fun playing with the various muppets and toys xD...yes, i'm still quite a kid sometimes hahahaha. people really did put a lot of effort into the boxes - christmas cards even some with photos. Free exercise for a good cause! =) doesn't get any better than that!

Reflections on life -
I've been reflecting on life this year lately since starting YF compared to last year and WOW, it's been completely different and it continues to change everyday. Never expected so much to be the way they are. its full of surprises but i prefer this year so much more and can't wait to future to see what god has installed. NOt revealing much ....stay tuned and wait til my testimony =P.

Looking forward to:
- going to first ever wedding (congrats iggy!)
- baptisms
- girl's/guy's night - should be fun!
- catching up with girls coz i've been rather anti-social
- completing my testimony .... something inspiring hopefully!

Prayer points:
- make most of opportunities to study and glorify god in everything
- no slacking and eagerly wanting to spend quiet time reading bible and many christian books i borrowed (and applying it!)
- exams: first exam on 9th and last two on the 13th
- continue to change my heart (great sermon last few weeks) and trusting him more.
- complain less and realise how great god is to everyone (be more appreciative)!

please msg me prayer points anyone too! =)
