Good listener

31/3/2010 (wed)

just now in class, Dr KG mentioned the "trust" element in nurse-patient communication. he asked us, how can you let patient build the trust on you? we gave all sorts of answers... but non of of us got the right one.

the answer is a very simple one - showing patient that you are interested. the primary and also an important element in communication. if you didn't show any interest, how can you expect people to develop the trust in you?

when he told us the answer, i was like "oh yea!!!" *knock on my head* i think i left out this most of the time. the essential element to become a good listener. not only towards patients, and also people around me especially friends... i think i always lost my patient while people is talking to me on something i am not interested in, and i definitely do show it in my non-verbal communication. gotta learn how to become a good listener...

lesson of the day: remember to show that i am interested while communicating.

下雨了

30/3/2010 （星期二）

刚才放学走出学校时，天空在下着雨。
讨厌下雨的我，望着乌云密布的天空，
在想：为什么偏偏在我放学要回家的时候下雨呢？

可是感谢主，包包里躺着新买的雨伞，
让我在走去停车场的路途上不会变成“落汤鸡”。
路上下着倾盆大雨，模糊了我的视线，也看不到前方的路。
感谢主，让我平安的到家。
当小白经过一滩滩的积水时，轮胎在水上滑了开去。
感谢主，让我捉稳了驾驶盘。
在下车时被雨水淋了个湿透透，
感谢主，我马上可以舒服的洗个热水澡。
当我最害怕的闪电和打雷都到齐时，
感谢主，袮的同在让我不至于怕到躲在被窝里叫自己快点睡觉。^^

虽然下雨为我带来了许多不便，
然而，还是要感谢主。
因为今晚天气将会是凉凉的，让我能够睡个好觉。=D

速度

30/3/2010 （星期二）

今天早上和往常一样，和亲爱的小白一起出门去上课。
当我离开家，下到高速公路时，就被长长的车龙围绕着了。好塞车噢！
平时路上都是缓慢行驶，今天终于让我遇到不会动的车龙了。

塞车的当儿，无聊的我只好东看看，西望望。
原来路边也有好多美丽的景色呢。
路边长着各式各样的树，高高在上的，或是矮矮的灌木。
有些被修成了波浪形，正方形。
还有像螺丝般，可爱的旋转形。

从来没有发觉到每天必经之路有那么多可爱的东西。
也许每天只顾着踩油门，专心在看路。
不怪得妈妈常说，当你将速度放慢的时候，
将会发觉到许多平时都不察觉的事物。

自从开课以后，时间表都排得满满的。除了上课，还有实习。
不知不觉已将生活的步伐加快。也许就这样错过了许多美好的事物和恩典。
在加快步伐的当儿，偶尔放慢速度，或停下开看看，
可能会有意外的收获呢。^^

我们的友谊

21/3/2010 （星期日）

我们曾经无所不谈，
我们曾经有共同的话题，东南西北，讲个不停。
我们曾经说好要一起逛街，逛书局，看红鹤。
我们也曾经拥有一样的协议，共同的理念。
还曾经拥有一段珍贵的友谊。

曾经在大家开心时，互相分享。
曾经在大家遇到困难时，互相分担。
曾经在大家经历失败时，互相鼓励。
曾经在大家情绪低落时，互相安慰。
曾经在大家遇到挫折时，互相扶持。
曾经在大家有需要时，互相用祷告托住对方。
曾经在大家有需要时，成了对方的小天使。

可是，那次以后，我们不再详谈，也不再彼此问候，关心。
我们之间，有了隐形的隔膜。
虽然大家有没有说出口，
但是，大家都感受到那道墙的存在,
将我们所培养的默契，间隔住了。

后悔自己相处得太诚实。
后悔让自己太依赖朋友。
后悔让友谊占了重要的地位。
后悔让自己太看重这段友谊。

因为，我发现，我已经渐渐地失去了它。

恼怒自己，连一段友谊，都无法维持。

My group

19/3/2010 (Fri)

never stay in uni until such a late time.
left uni at 9pm+ just now. never been so late before. and today is friday!! =(
our group is working hard on the HA form which need to hand in on tuesday.
haha, last minute work.

but kinda enjoy group work sometimes.
as long as there is no "parasites" in the group.
and thank God for putting me in the group with all the wonderful friends.
you guys are cute and helpful... =D
even though we are tired and hungry, (after classes from 9am to 4.30pm,
and having dinner at 10pm.)
but we still manage to get things done.

the funny arguments between Fwo Yi and Galvin,
and the lame jokes by Wen Chieh can't stop me from laughing.
when we are having brain block or are pissed off by the work,
there will always be someone who starts the lame jokes that make everyone laugh.

thank God for you guys.
no matter what is the feedback and marks given,
we had tried our best.
and you guys rocks!!! =)

Happy day

18/3/2010 (Thu)

yeah! finished pharma paper today and feeling extremely happy.
is like letting a burden down on my shoulder. huh...
not gonna think about the result first.. ^^

people says that happiness spreads...
and i am calling friends in my contact list to "spread" the happiness.
this is what call sharing right? =D
is better to spread happiness rather than diseases... haha..
but people begin to ask am i ok? is there anything wrong with me? =.=
i thought this is the way that we suppose to lead our life,
rejoice in the Lord always!

this shows me how dull i am usually.
when i am happy, people will start asking why am i so abnormal.
gonna learn how to rejoice in the Lord...
You are my source of strength and happiness
my day won't be so wonderful without You!!

"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discourage."

~ Deut 31:8

Test following by test....

Gonna have BMS test afterward and now, i am too exhausted. i find that i can fall asleep no matter what i am doing. 'fishing' while i sit down, 'fishing' on the table when i do revision and 'fishing' in the bath also! terrible...

maybe the schedule is too pack and i am somehow anesthetic to exams already. no sense of nervous and pressure, even though i have not done all the revisions. reproduction, eye and ear left. and i think the rest of the input had gone into the short-term memory compartment. hopefully i still can re-call later.

after BMS, Pharma awaits on thursday and i will spend my weekend with Micro & Para. such an 'interesting' period.

and hopefully i won't fall asleep in the exam hall later... =.=

选择

这个主日负责帮忙师母在主日学里伴唱。
刚才到教会正等待主日学开始时，爱伦姐走了过来。
她问了一个令我蛮惊讶的问题。
她说：“Ivy，你有兴趣教主日学吗？负责四，五及六年级的学生。”
哇！好大的责任噢！
其实，负责高班的弟兄正在修博士学位，所以他时常在礼拜天要去上课。
可怜的孩子们只好和低班的学生合班。正好我刚到信义会，所以就瞄中了我。

话说回来，上个主日负责少年团及敬拜赞美的姐妹也找了我谈。
希望我抽空帮忙教会少年团的事工，
也告诉我她已经将我编排在敬拜赞美的轮值表里了。=D

其实，对我来说，主日学或少年团都是很好的事奉岗位。
在母会事奉时，都有机会在这两个事工当中服侍。
坦白说，我对少年人的事工会比较有负担。
也许自己不太喜欢孩子吧。看到孩子们调皮时，会拿他们没办法。=(

在还没答复两位姐妹之前，想让自己有一点时间想想和祷告。
记得以前在少年团当职员时，
导师说过：一旦参与，就要负起全部的责任，尽心尽力去做。
因为我不止对要孩子们，少年人，教会负责，最重要的是必须对神负责任。
所以绝对不能马马虎虎。

求主在我面对选择时，加给我聪明智慧。
是袮最了解我的能力，恩赐。也是袮最清楚，我能胜任哪一个岗位。
期盼着，袮的引导。

一句话

最近这几个星期，家里发生了一些事情。但是我一直都在忙，
直到今天才稍微的了解事情大来龙去脉。

大家都一直在为这件事争执，爷爷，奶奶，姑姑们，
大家都不甘示弱，各持己见，赞成的赞成，反对的反对。
就因为大家的一句话，把当事人弄得团团转。
回电邮，接响的不停的电话。
除了要面对自己，工作的压力，还有大家的意见。

别人说的一句话，也许能提醒我们一些被忽略的事，
可是，当听的太多的时候，连自己的立场也会被动摇。
原以为一件美好的事，在大家一句话的“洗礼”下，也会变得非常的丑陋。

对我而言，人都长那么大了，绝对有权利为自己的事做决定。
虽然听取大家的意见是好的，但毕竟选择权是在你手上。
当然，到最后，你也要为着你的决定负责。
可是，只要衡量过，觉得事情是值得你去做，不会后悔的话，就放胆去吧。
只要你不愿意，没有人可以阻止你为你的人生涂上美丽的色彩。

*******

深深的体会到“人言可畏”这句话。
《圣经》说：一句话说得适宜，就如金苹果掉在银网子里。
深愿你我所说的话，能成为别人的祝福。


p/s：whatever it is，我都会支持你。。。

Still

down in the valley again, i fell.
was pulled up, but and now i am pushed down again.
there are lightnings and thunders deep down in the valley,
and the storm is kinda scary...

Lord,
please hide me under Your wings,
and cover me with Your mighty hand.
because i know, no one can hurt me,
when i am under the shelter of Your wings.

God,
i want to soar with you, above the storm,
there will be peace high up in the sky.
please don't leave me alone,
as i may not be able to struggle through the disaster alone.

I will be still, knowing You are God.

路

最近在生活中，遇上了一系列的难题。
困难一个接一个，在前头等着我去面对，去解决。
心灵感觉上已经非常的疲累。
也在抗议情绪上的大起大落。
人生路，其实并不好走。

一早醒来，手机playlist 里就唱着这首歌。
你是我的主，你领我走这人生路。
高山或低谷，都是你在保护。

万人中唯独，你爱我，认识我，
永远不变的应许，这一生，都是祝福。
你手，牵引我走这人生路。

为着你的安慰，献上感恩。

虚拟。回忆

下午做了一个心理测验，选择了紫色和粉红色的搭配。
紫色及粉红色象征了想象力，及活在虚拟的世界里。
也许吧。。。
无意间听见了这首《情歌》，勾起了一些开心但又拌着一丝丝伤感的回忆。
这时，陪伴着我的，是一幕幕的情景及心中荡起的涟漪。。。
