Attended church service ytd, felt the worship ministry over there is pretty "dry".. alway believe.. how the congregration turn out to be.. dependent on how the worship team portrait themselves.. how they sing.. esp with the right spirit.. *holy spirit*.. that's where it'll bring the whole congregration together.. to worship wholeheartedly for God.. It true that we shldnt judge how ppl dress to church..but.. seriously.. feel that when one goes to church.. they shld dress appropriately.. eg.. do not wear "tong".. that's kind of inappropriate.. but what can i say.. that's how they dress up.. However, beside saying that.. Pastor Dawson did a great job.. he preaches with lives.. joy.. n truly.. you can feel that God is working through him.. to touch individual soul.. through the words and action.. speech.. Why do we celebrate christmas? what's the main purpose of christmas? It's not about drinking.. gathering.. merrying.. partying.. just another festival.. holiday.. it's all about Jesus..  for all to ponder about.. *.^

Looking forward for this coming week.. haa..  even thou many work shift to do.. but... that's life..

Outing with hug + Emilly, Prac in RPH + Joondalup, scuba diving, Assignment, Exam..

Finally, I got time to sit and update my blog.. had been a while since I last updated.. busy with assignment, prac, work.. etc...

Prac at Joondalup ward finally ended.. 1 week prac.. worth it.. although it requires me to travel a total of 2.5hrs to n fro.. more interesting than the one at RPH as I got to experience LIVE performance in the theatre.. was an eye opening experiences.. get to see various surgery.. such as Laproscopic gastric band, vasectomy, ileostomy, colostomy, removal of lesion, casearan (interesting as the doc disect @ the Lower abdominal area --> longitudinal section of the adipose tissue & muscles --> Slimy peritoneum layer --> Pry open the muscles --> using forcep and hands to pull the baby out from the tummy).. too bad picture not allowed.. I even got the opportunity to cut open the sigmon colon to examine and analyse what's a 'diverticulitis'.. was reading about it.. and one resident in the nursing home is alway reciting about it that she had diverticulitis (but due to her dementia - she does not know what it mean..haa).. 

Diverticulitis = Inflammation of the intestinal areas, due to various reason such as constipation, undigested food, built up of colonial bacteria, prolong causes the area to be inflammed and holes in the pocket.. 

Submitted my last assignment today.. a relieve indeed.. checked with my tutor..she said it was fine.. phew.. dislike writing essay..but.. cant help it..that's life..
