today's my birthday, yes , indeed , my seventeenth is the most memorable one i had so far . i recieved loads of gifts and well even more well wishers ( a record high number haha) but i believe the best one was from GOD. yes indeed from him. it was not something materialistic, but a greater understanding of the trouble and the harsh week i had and also the sending of so many people to comfort me and to cheer me up

i realised that all my stress was a result in a lack of trust in him. i realised that indirectly , i havent enthroned him in all the aspects of my life. i WORRY too much and at times take destiny into my own hands(wrong move). i thus overwork and overstress. today, i have really let go of everything. no doubt i'll still be a mugger (yes, i'm a mugger) but ,
1) i'll know my limits
2) i know god is in control

so i'll do my best and let GOD do the rest

heard that lord ?

it's the worry of " how ?" "if i screw up , then a levels GG" " med school damn hard to get in, must pia like shit " instead of " Lord , i'll work my ass, you settle the rest." so yes, the best part of today was when evan was praying over the birthday ppl for this month and he told me that god's word for me is " FREEDOM " i wanted to cry, its the assurance i need for the rest of my academic life. that god will guide me through all .

indeed all the talks wif friends, tution teachers, parents did help but nothing was as great as wadever happened today.

god also sent loadss of ppl to wish me happy birthday, as of now , in total, it's like 5 cakes that i have eaten so far.
