Chinese restaurant

Gail walks into a Chinese buffet restaurant.

Chinese manager walks up to her.

"Where are you from?"

"Malaysia"

"Oh Malaysia! He's from Malaysia too" (gestures at another waiter looking awkward in the corner.. as they do)

"So what are you doing here?"

"I was studying at the uni, but working now"

"Oh good good.. where do you work?"

"I'm a doctor" (smiles sheepishly)

"WAH.. gom lek!"

Before you can say "salmon", all the staff knew that the girl on that table was "lek lui cho yee san!"

I love old chinese aunties.

And they cried...

Date: Sunday, 3 January 2010
Place: Hillsongs London/Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road
Time: 345 pm approximately, at the end of the 2nd happy clappy jumpy uppy song.

Me(praying): Dear Holy Spirit....

I started crying before I could even complete my sentence.

Looked at S. S crying too.

S: Why are we crying?

Me: I don't know. I guess because God is here.

P.S. I know it must've been the Holy Spirit

Hello 2010!

This must've been one of the Best New Beginnings ever.

(Last new year's eve was pretty fun and special too with the sisters - I miss them :P - as detailed here http://babeloveslola.blogspot.com.

When 2009 began, I was shell-shocked from a recent breakup, and there was that (irrational) catastrophic fear that I would fail my finals and get kicked out of medical school and get thrown into jail by JPA, disgraced forever. And I carried this baggage with me for most of the first part of 2009.

If not for the goodness of God, and the love of family, and the support of friends, I think I may have sunk low low low and possibly be like my patients in Psychiatry.

But hey, look where I am now!

:D

All I can say is Thank you Jesus (yeah!) for amazing family, friends, comfort, peace, joy, graduating, colleagues, adventures (Egypt, Turkey, St Lucia.. oh man!!), provision, favour, healing, housemates...

He is the rock on which I am standing. It's such an awesome year already and as Babe says "I can't imagine how God's gonna top himself this year. But oh He is gonna!"
