Happiness & Sorrows of My Past 1 Year

In this post, I would list out my happiest & saddest things that happened to me for my past one year in university. Thinking back the happy moments, it'll always trigger my zygomaticus muscle & move my lips commissure superolaterally. While those sad moments just stimulate my lacrimal gland. Hahahaha...forgive me for the medical jargons...can't help to delete from my mind after 1 year of study. :p



Let's continue on with the happy stuff first :
1)


I find it a great blessing from God to meet a few brothers and sisters in Christ who really cares for me, loves me, and pampers me like I am one of their family members. I can always go to them whenever I'm trapped in a stressful situation or I am upset with the life in university. Gabriel, who consistently sends encouraging bible verses in the beginning of every week, cooks good food and deliver to our windows whenever he is free or during our exams, prays for us when we are weak, be the victim for the juniors to bully, teaches me good beading skills etc. What an amazing CF president! Next is Sarah, who really cares for me and treats me sincerely, makes my birthday meaningful, gives me hotdog on Valentine's Day =D (what a surprise! LOL), cooks dessert and prays for me before every exam. She is the friendliest & lovable senior I've ever met! Of course they are others who are always there to support and care for me, which makes me so touched as I've never experienced such love from non-family members.

I had really experienced God's love in person and learned to trust Him in making changes in my life. I feel really powerless to remember every single thing in every block before Professional Exam, and I decided to just study as much as I could and trust Him to do the rest for me. Faith is the only thing that I hold on to before stepping into the examination hall, believing Him that He'll guide me through. And amazingly, He has awarded me with great results that I've never expected.

[A bunch of crazy dental & medical students having fun while studying serious stuff]

Having a circle of friends who are quite crazy (not as crazy as Form 5 or Form 6 friends) and who invented more nicknames for me. But sad thing is that they only discover my craziness towards the end of our academic session. Hahaha... ^^



There are a couple of sad things that I really care for and will never forget them. Coz they really hurt me. T.T

1)

My birthday. They celebrated for my two not-so-close friends(lets call them Ms. A & Ms. B) and me 2 weeks before my birthday because PRO exam was approaching. Actually the birthday celebration was meant for Ms. A and they invite most of her friends. Only a few faces that I'm familiar with appear. I am contented actually. But the saddest thing is that one of the organizer accidentally said that it was incidentally that they celebrated for me. 顺便... I was deeply hurt. On the actual day of my birthday, none of my dental friends celebrated for me as well coz they were all busy studying for exam. Yet, they celebrated for another friend when exam is 1 week ahead. It was an awful, meaningless, frustrated birthday I've ever had. T.T Luckily, my senior sincerely visited me and bought me cakes + lunch + dinner. This helps me swallow my sorrow back.



2)

People misunderstood me as being too proud of myself when I introduce myself this way : "Hi. My name is xxx. I know it's hard for people to remember my name since I have no Christian's name. But there's a trick and I'll teach you that. Just remember the number 1 and the letter C." Rumours all about this spreaded to the whole campus and seniors came warning me to be humble and quiet. And I ended up being very careful in speech and remain quite and introvert for the 1st few months in USMKK. No close friends at all to turn to in the beginning. I called my parents everyday and cried.


These are a few things that happened and had left marks all over my heart for the past year. Just hope happy things keep blooming while sad things don't repeat for the rest of my uni life in USMKK. =)
