Purpose

It's now the second week of the Purpose Driven Life thing which is going on in church. With all the hype and stuff, i think it's great that everyone is being enthusiastic about it and it has been great to see the church being united and coming together to be part of this drive. Today's memory verse challenge was the first of the many events to be held in succession in the weeks to come. We were required to memorise 30 memory verses in order to progress to the next round. Sounds crazy innit? I think patho sounds much easier now that i've completed the first round. :P

Despite the lucrative competition prizes being the main attraction, some of us actually sat down and to took some time to think if all this was really good or just something that would lead to nothing. We all did agree on some grounds that memorising verses would in some ways edify us spiritually if we took the time to meditate on them. But the question that stood out was whether it really mattered if we knew each verse word for word. From what we've learned, meditation, insights and application are essential to knowing God's purpose for our lives when we read His word, but does it really matter that we have to know each word by heart as there are a million and one translations of the Holy Bible out in the market today. Does it really matter? Answer : Probably it's good to knowla but again... i dunno.
Well, as Weng Tang says, we lads have the potential to score 100% for the quiz but the probability in that happening is almost 0.0001.:P

At the end of the day, i think it's just absorbing the principles of wanting to know what is God's purpose for our lives that matters. We as humans have only got one life and i think it would be great to know God's purpose for each and every one of our lives. That's something that we all have to seek God for as the freagin PDL book would only serve as a guide to how we should live out that purpose.

As for the life a of a doc, as we all know, nothing comes easily in life and we have to work for it. Our purpose as docs (As for now.. not yet.. hopefully i will be in another 3 yrs) is basically to care for people and well... bla bla bla as mentioned in the hippocratic oath. But as a doc progresses on to become a specialist... mamma mia, boy to they get pampered like mad (Of course docs deserve it in some way, afterall, we work like mad 24-7). Sponsored trips to conferences, free food and goodies.. man. It totally rocks. Anyways, my head's just starting to dream again. Still got a freagin long way to go. Got to pass End Of Sem 5 exam first. :P

Here's a pic of a 'Paediatric sized' Starbucks which i got from a Paeds conference recently. Pretty cute innit?.. Small is the size but power it yields. And yeah, it was free (Not for me though). :P


Well, in order to get my next free cup of starbucks coffee from a conference, be it a paeds or hopefully ORTHO-paed-IC conference, i better get back to studying. At least now i have the motivation to study. I can see FREE FREE FREE Starbucks...Yum yum yum. Adios people. Back to the land of Davidson's, Harrison's and Robbin's.
