1. Does twins share the same cord blood?
2. If the twins each have 1 umbilical cord, does that mean that their mother has 2 placentas?
If you do have an answer, please tell me. If not, then it's okay. I hope that these questions will set you into the momentum of thinking.
Enough of all this. Christmas is coming. Soon. In less than 4 hours. During this festive season, I hope everyone will enjoy themselves, and spread the love around, with everyone else. While celebrating, do remember the less fortunate, and give and help out in any way that you can. And of course, do remember the reason why we are celebrating. Yes, it is the birth of Jesus Christ that we are celebrating. Merry Christmas Eve.

Shopping with my mum is so fun. Really. Honest. I did not realise it until recently. Perhaps I was never in the mood to go shopping befor; I mean it can be quite hard going out with your brain still with your books at home and being physically out. But now, it's different. My mind, soul and body are out when I'm out. Even when I'm staying at home, sometimes my mind is out as well! And now, I understand why my dad do not accompany my mum to go shopping. Well, my mum simply shops too slowly. She claims that she must examine every single piece of clothing carefully before buying. Here's her routine to buying clothes: First, she will check the design or "cutting" in her own words. Next, she'll check out the texture. After that, she'll check if they fit her (just by looking first). Then, she'll check the price. She will most probably take the clothes off the rack if it is reasonable, or if there's a discount. Then, after taking a few blouses, she'll head for the fitting room. If she's happy with how the clothes look on her, she'll but them. Just that day, she went in (to the fitting room) with 3 pieces of blouses. Chances are, I guess, she would come out with at least 1 suitable one. But guess what? She said that they don't look nice on her. Oh well! And in order not to go home empty-handed, she headed for the shoe department, where she quickly bought a pair of heels(trust my mum to wear heels at her age!).
Anyway, after that, we shopped around that area opposite Specialist's Centre and bought Cheese Tofu and Sotong balls. They really taste wonderful, especially the cheese tofu. There's really a lot of cheese inside. And the taste of cheese still linger in my mouth after quite a while. I know cheese fishballs, or anything with cheese inside may sound cliche or cheesy now because of the Chinese drama. But they really taste nice and good. And such food products really exist in real life!!!
We then walked to PS to get some groceries and to checked out my brother's shoes at City Hall. It was such a tiring day, but fulfilling in terms of the time I spent with my mum. And it helps me to sleep soundly at night.
And oh, did I mention? I'm now working in a laboratory. I get to see urine, stool and blood samples!!! It's so cool. I mean, not everyone get to see them. The only urine and stool that I ever saw before this was my own. And working in the lab reminds me of last year's attachment at IMCB. I mean, the gloves and all. I just found the job yesterday and yesterday was also my first day. Or should I say night? It's only for four hours. It's quite all right, the work and everything. Plus, it's working in a lab!!! It's really different from the department where I was attached to at IMCB, cos, here, they'll do all the required tests on those sample. I'm still learning, of course. I think they really teach us quite a lot. In the meantime, I'm also looking for students for tuition. Do refer to my previous posts for more information on that. Early Merry Christmas everyone!

It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.
I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates.The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation.
The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face.......... and I wanted to be with them and share their table.
In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I was not invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise . I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a great time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho!He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying : "Santa Claus, Santa Claus"... as if the party were in his honor !
At 12 midnight all the people began to hug each other ; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and....do you know .... no one hugged me. S uddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.
Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life.
I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all you heart. I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.
I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invitation, will be left outside.
Do you know how you can answer this invitation? it is by extending it to others whom you care for...
I'll be waiting for all of you to attend my party this year...
See you soon....I love you!
-Jesus-
Indeed, Christmases nowadays are too commercialised. Most people want new handphones, digital cameras, i-pod nano, or some others gadgets or commercial products and cause the original meaning of Christmas to be lost. A pity. Christmas, is such a beautiful season; a season of love, joy, giving and sharing. With advertisements constantly bombarding our young, it is no wonder that most young people do not know and understand the origin of Christmas. The good, old way of sending Christmas' greetings to friends via snail mail has been replaced by the faster and more convienent method of sending e-cards. But the familiarity of hand-written words is lost as a result. I realised this every year when I write Christmas greetings to my friends. The desire to want to remain close to my friends keeps me sending Christmas cards every year. The joy of receiving cards from them keeps me going as well. If you hasn't try sending out Christmas cards to your friends, do so this Christmas. I'm sure your friends will appreciate them. Happy early Merry Christmas.

Graduation Night was 2 nights ago, on Monday night. It was a beautiful night with friends and teachers. Let's not comment about the food; that's not the main idea here. Anyway, so that evening was great. I took many pictures with many of our friends; classmates, CCA friends, friends who have been with me since the St Margs' days and "hi-bye" friends. I chatted with many others about what they have been busy with and their plans for the coming days. Grad night offically ended with the college song, college hymn, college cheers and the dessert. However, many of us stayed back for more photographs taking and chatter. It was definitely one memorable night with beautiful memories. I hope to see many of my friends on 28th Dec when we move back to SAV at Woodsville.
And yesterday, I met up with Lydia. Funny, this time, we met up not for study purpose. It just seem so weird. Not that we didn't enjoy it; it's just that I realised our ability to crap is making great improvements. But she's leaving for Malaysia today and will only be back on Friday, I guess. And oh, I told her that I would make the base of the Hershey Sundae Pie (which we both like). I did that this morning, and the base is still in the making. It's in the freezer. Will only know the end result in about an hour's time. So excited.
I'm currently reading John Grisham's The Summon. It's really a good read. It keeps my fingers flipping the page. Not exactly exciting, but you'll be wanting to know what's going to happen next. Well, maybe I'll just stop here. Hope that everyone will enjoy this December holiday.

Look for books by Nicholas Sparks or John Grisham.
What is it that will catch your attention when browsing the library or bookshop?
Books with nice cover illustrations or tittles.
What do you look for in a book when considering to borrow or buy it?
Good content, storyline and suitable font size. I prefer to borrow large prints if I'm planning to read it at home. Small prints would be preferred if I'm planning to read the book on bus trips.

I said that. I think it is rather true, well, at least for me, at this point of time. Go ahead and ponder; I think most people will find that it's true also. Once that is said, it is definietly better is one can seek company and help. From friends, teachers or family or whoever else. For me, I know I can always count on my friends, my parents, my brothers and teachers of course. Seeing them and being with them never fail to make me better and happier. Well, of course, I go to God and pray. Praying makes me feel lighter and more comforted; for I know "Knock and the door will be open. Seek and you shall find."

| You Are Somewhat Machiavellian |
You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead... But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself. You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place. You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to! |

You are precise, scientific, and intellectual. Your talents lie in understanding and solving math and science problems.

| You Are 20% Boyish and 80% Girlish |
Even if you're not a girl, you're very feminine. You're in touch with your feelings, and your heart rules you. A bit of a emotional roller coaster, one moment you're up and the next you're down. But no matter what, you try to be as cute and perky as possible. |

You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart.

1. The JC1s
2. People who have 3 subjects.
3. People who skipped lectures and/ or tutorials to do their own work.
4. People who have really good time management.
I'm not blaming them or saying anything mean about them. It's just that time is not on my side. I think I would have to manage my time better and really study more effectively and efficiently. Though time is not really on my side, I am sure that God is. I have always put my trust in HIM and I will continue to do so. All honour and glory shall go to HIM.
" I can do everything through HIM who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury
Driving in the car would be a tasty treat
Changing gear would soon become a problem
Cadbury Dairy Milk is so good to eat
You'll be greeted with an exclamation
When you arrive at your destination
Wouldn't it be nice.

Now that the second week is here, it's really study time! The stress is not here YET but I'm quite sure that come week 3 and 4, I'll be pulling my hair out. It seems scary to note that I'm not really ready to take the "A"s at the end of the year. I mean, exactly two years ago, I was really revising for my "O"s. Perhaps it's because of BT 2. I don't know. I really felt I'm not up to it YET. It really seems a lot of work and effort. I think I must really plan my time and really revise and study. No more crapping for me; it seems really hard...and maybe I won't blog for weeks...maybe...perhaps...I don't know.

What would you do when someone call you dumb and stupid? Well, I would study real hard to show that person that I'm not what he/she claim that I am. But what would you do when someone call you a smartie and all that? Do you not study and prove that person wrong? Of course not! You obviously have to study even harder to prove that you're not just a smartie; you're a genius. Ha, but seriously, the above two situations did not happen on yours truly; but I guess that the probability of someone being in either one situation must be high. (although not 1). Anyway, I feel that the youngsters nowadays (I admit, me included) often call someone stupid or dumb. But sometimes, it's really unintentional and that it is just our way of communicating. The person called "stupid" may appear all right on the outside but who knows that beneathe that strong, steel-hard cover may exist a fragile and low self-esteem. Now, consider the second case when someone is being labelled as a smartie. This may lead to several outcomes.
- The person may become proud and look down upon those who are not as intelligent as he is.
- The person may become proud and not study and his grades suffer.
- The person may become stress and feel the pressure to stay at the top.
- etc...
[Author's note: This list is not exhausive. There are certainly more outcomes and consequences]
This is not written to discourage people from priasing other's good work. But certainly scolding someone stupid is definietly an unplesant thing to do and one should avoid doing that as far as possible. Afterall, at the end of the day, who can really judge the levl of our intelligence?

During this 2 weeks, I'm going to manage my time well. I'm going to finish my tutorials even if I have practises everyday. I'm not going to fall behind in my tutorials. I'm going to do that. I trust in myself and of course, I know that God will provide me with the strength to do that.

I figured it was probably time to go on the current season's healthy eating kick. How did I know it was time? I called them "little sugar cravings," but when I caught myself shooting out of the car and landing almost instantly at the pantry door, I figured I'd probably already let the sugar-fest go on for too long. I was like a treat-seeking missile, with a chocolate target. When it gets that severe, not even the chocolate chips are safe.
It's also a clue that it's time to make some diet changes when I choose a Sunday School class by rating their doughnuts. "She's a good teacher, but she only serves glazed. Maggie's class always brings those chocolate-covered, custard-filled long johns." It's hard to compete with a good long john.
I guess the real clincher is when I catch myself digging through the toes of the kids' Christmas stockings for any leftover chocolate snowmen. That's especially a dead give-away if we've already moved into Spring.
Every now and then, I have to examine my sugar passion to make sure I'm not so out of balance that I outgrow all my clothes. I sort of examine my own evidence and testify against myself. If I've tackled a couple of my kids for the last Ho Ho, for instance, that about settles it.
I'm so glad Jesus settled the really big issues. We never have to wonder about His love for us. It's eternally more intense than any choco-need I'll ever experience. He proved his immense, unconditional, unshakable love when He died on the cross to make it possible for us to have a right and tight relationship with him. But if you examine the evidence (nevermind the Ho Ho's), you'll find that He went all-out to prove His power to save. The same power that saves us from sin raised Him from the dead. Now that settles it!
How glorious that we can serve a risen, LIVING Savior! Romans 8:11 says, "It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's!" (The Message)
Because Jesus is alive, we've been made spiritually alive too. Christ settled it all in one earth-rocking event. I loved being reminded again when we celebrated Resurrection Sunday, even if I didn't get to eat any of the chocolate bunnies.

There is none like you
No one else can touch
My heart like you do
I could search for all eternity long
And find there is none like you
Your mercy flows like a river wide
And healing comes from your hand
Suffering children are placed in your arms
There is none like you
Heart Of Worship
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something's that of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
When it's all about You
All about You Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express how much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
So You Would Come
Before the world began
You were on His mind
And every tear you cry
Is precious to His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
And everything was done
So you would come
Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives,
He will take them all
The power of the Word
The power of His blood
Everything was done
So you would come
Nothing you can do
Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Had the first ever official Maths S-paper training today...it's really amazing you know... I don't really understand what is being discussed...the approach and all that stuff.. guess I have to put in more effort...everyone present seems to have an idea of what's going on...except me...oh well,...
Today is also the annual Life Concert organised by the SFC...well, all thanks to Shu Ai, I managed to get a good seat despite going in rather late...the concert was kind of different...it's like there's so many things happening all at once...usually in church, it's only worship and the messages...but here, there's sharing of testimonies...(erm, I guess that's why it's called a concert). Anyway, it's really inspiring to hear about how God had entered and made an impact on some people's lives. It kind of reinforces my idea of what my good Lord is like and strengthen my faith in Him. (and I hope that this is what the other people feels like as well).
The next one month is definitely going to be hectic...with the choir concert only 1 week away and SYF 2 weeks, I am absolutely sure that practice will be much more intensive than it is now...I pray for strength to pull through this...Somebody once said:" What doesn't kills you make you stronger." I want to be this stronger person. I know I can.
[By the way, I just found out that SMSS choir is going for SYF tomorrow, 8th April 2005. All the best and I'll be praying for all of you].

The Heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork.
Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge.
There is no speech nor spoken word [from the stars]; their voice is not heard.
Yet their voice [in evidence] goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the world. Of the heavens has God made a tent for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; and it rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
Its going forth is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the ends of it; and nothing [yes, no one] is hidden from the heat of it.
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes.
The [reverent] fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even than much fine gold; they are sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is Your servant warned (reminded, illuminated, and instructed); and in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his lapses and errors?
Clear me from hidden [and unconscious] faults.
Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be blameless, and I shall be innocent and clear of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.
As Good Friday and Easter Sunday approaches, I fervently hope that all will be grateful and thankful for what we have and who we are today. We are all God's children. I also hope that our faith in God will be strengthened and that we will always walk with God. Of course, we must not we grateful and thankful for all these only on Good Friday, Easter, Christmas...instead, give thanks and pray daily. This is what it keeps me going everyday. Put God in your heart and mind; Walk with Him!

This afternoon, I went to NUS open house with Allele and my "mentor". It's quite inspiring to talk to the medical students there...[hm, better start doing something!] After that, we left for SAM to attend Ruth's wedding...The place was so romantic...the ambience and all...and plus, she looked so gorgoreous.
Before I finish writing this entry, I must mention some names as I have promised them to...[I did not realise that they have been reading my blog until yesterday]. So, here it goes: WEITING! YIN YIN! JIA JUN! Are you glad that your names are appearing here? Feel honoured? Ha! Stop reading now and study hard for BT 1...Remember that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel!
A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared. The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin.
The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. So, this the man did, day after day.
For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.
Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind: "You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't moved."
Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure.
These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man.
Satan said, "Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough."
That's what the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of prayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Lord.
"Lord," he said, “I have laboured long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimetre. What is wrong? Why am I failing?”
The Lord responded compassionately, "My friend, when I asked you to serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done.”
“Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so?”
“Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have .”
“True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. That you have done. Now I, my friend, will move the rock.”
At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when usually what God wants is just a simple obedience and faith in Him.
By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still God who moves mountains.
When everything seems to go wrong ...
just P.U.S.H.!
When the job gets you down ...
just P.U.S.H.!
When people don't react the way you think they should ...
just P.U.S.H!
When your money is "gone" and the bills are due ...
just P.U.S.H!
When people just don't understand you ....
just P.U.S.H.

U = Until

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapour in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
To God be all glory forever and ever because His love is great and unchanging.

It's only one month since school started
and yet, I'm already tired, both physically and mentally
Sometimes, I really wonder whether am I the only one feeling this way
Or are there many out there who are like me
this is only to be a tough year
I know that; and I'm sure many others know too
I'll pray very hard that we'll go through this year
That we'll all work hard and effectively
Always remember that there will be light at the end of the tunnel
And that God will always walk with us.

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It’s the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now’s the time for us to say...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he’ll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he’s astray
Keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It’s the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we’ll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i

This is the last year. I must make full use of it...
Had all the J1s coming in today...there was a group from St. Margs...glad that they chose to come here...saw Weiyan outside the sc and waved to her...(erm, wonder what cca would she join?) During this time last year, I was the same as this batch of J1s...Lost, confused and a little puzzled and amazed. But soon, all these change as friendship started to form...hopefully the friendships forged here will last forever and bring sweet memories to one's mind always.
To the J1s: Enjoy the time all of you had together for there wouldn't be a second time when you enjoy yourself so much in your life.
To the J2s: Cherish the precious time left with your friends and study hard for all minor and major tests and exams. May God bless you.

Year 2005 will be a busy year for me (and many of my friends). It's 'A' levels next year. The major exams that I will have to do well in, in order to get into the faculty of my choice in university. I used to think that "O' levels is the most important. But that was then. As of this year, 'A' levels is the most important thing that I'm going to go through and I'm embraced and prepared for that(I mean, mentally prepared). I believed that "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me". God bless and Happy New Year once again.
FRIENDS
