Our BIG Day!
Our BIG Day has finally arrived!
Its my WEDDING! "Im Married to Christ!"+ BIRTHDAY "A day of celebration!"+ FUNERAL! "A renewed me!"
The reason behind BAPTISM...
Sin has a bondage (John 8:34) and when a person has the “remission of sins,” he is set free from the bondage of sin which causes death (Romans 6:23).
Baptism is to wash away or cleanse one of sin and, thus, frees one from the bondage of sin.
For this reason, Peter on the first Pentecost after the resurrection of Jesus answered the question, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” by telling them to “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins...” (Acts 2:37-38). And Saul of Tarsus was told to “arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord” (Acts 22:16).
Thus, baptism is the new birth of water and of the Spirit that gives entrance into the kingdom of God — the church as Jesus taught Nicodemus in John 3:3-5. Amen! A ticket to heaven! How wonderful!
My new life, new beginning has unleashed!
Yesterday's service was just great! From the videos by GXT (Die Die Must Watch!)
the praise and worship songs, testimonies shared by JianMing and Kelvin and Pastor How's sermon on 7 Thing I Hate about Christianity and 7 Things I loved about Christianity was really something unexpected! Really analytical and powerful!
At the last part of the service, the people who are going to be baptised, total strength 69 of us, were called out one by one to the front to read the apostle's creed with Pastor How.
Next, we went to get ourselves ready for BAPTISM!
YanRui Fan Club! LoL!~
Jeannette and Alvin came to support me! THANK YOU so much for taking the time to come!
My Mummy and Daddy came as well! E huat was no exceptional! ^^
And not long after, it was my turn to be dipped into the pool!
The feeling during immersion...was just simply the joy in my heart! Madeleine, the new yanrui was born! After the dip, It seems like all my burdens are removed and I feel so much lighter! Praise the Lord!
YanZhen's Turn!
YanHui's Turn!
Adrielle! Hazel! Madeleine!
E Huat with some missing people! Zoe, Tommy and Derry!
Let us make a guess what Uncle Teo is doing!
a) Leg muscle stretching exercises?
b) Showing off his legs?
c) Suicide? Nah. He's still alive.
The answer is...none of the above!
He just wanted to show off this Kung Fu pose! To make it feel as if his legs can be raised to 90 degree! CHEYY!!! Action only!
My mummy and daddy bought this cake to celebrate with us! So sweet of them!

Madeleine VS Megan!
A new life. A new beginning. Unleashing...
To be honest to say...It was really a tough choice choosing a baptism name between Madeleine and Megan!
The meaning of these 2 names are as follows:
Madeleine - In the bible, Mary Magdalene in fact means Mary of Magdala. Madeleine is a French form of Magdala, which was a village on Lake Galilee. Mary received this name to distinguish her from others of the same name, as she 'had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities'. She was a follower of Jesus.
Just before the voting system, I saw XueJun taking this quiz in Facebook and I decided to give it a try too! So...
PaNg took the Which mighty woman of the Bible are you most like? quiz and the result is You are most like MARY MAGDALENE
She was forgiven much & loved much, and you certainly love much! You are a passionate person, who loves God & life. You have a tendency to count your blessings and be very grateful, even in small things. You are an overcomer, and will not allow any life circumstances to hold you down.
Then I was like thinking...Was it an answer given by God? HahaA! Thinking too much le laa!
Megan - pearl, great, gentle, soft. One who is strong and mighty. From my interpretation, I wanted to be like a pearl, who is going to start a life of moulding through refining processes to be made pure.
As it was too tough for me to choose...
A voting system was put in placed!
Im sure most of you guys have voted!
THANKS FOR VOTING!~
Every votes count! It was quite a competition! Megan started to kick off well and high from the start!
However, Magdeleine starts to shoot up too! Got most of my friends to vote through facebook, smses, calls from me and msn messenger! So its a win win situation!
And the result for those who didn't know about it yet...
*Drumroll*~
*.+.* ~ MaDeLeInE PaNg YaN RuI! ~*.+.*
Sorry to have disappoint those who voted for Megan! I really like the name Megan too!
Madeleine might have sound longer but u guys can call me "Madel", "Leine" or just yanrui! Whatever u are most comfortable with!
My sisters will be baptised today too! YanZhen's baptism name is Adrielle and Yanhui's is Hazel! Im VERY, EXTREMELY, SUPER, 非常 Excited!
More updates on Baptism will be unveiled!

Double happiness!
Whew! Today was the last day of our attachment which makes it the closure for year 1 le! Wow! It seems like I just enter poly yesterday laa!
Attachment was... having a great time communicating with the elderly as we were posted to the geriatric ward! As I was assigned to the female cubicles, I just enjoyed talking to the ah mahs! They are just so cute! Seeing the smiles on their wrinkled faces never failed to remove my tiredness! It acts like a "medicine" to me and brightens up my day! It was just pure joy serving them! But there are times where heart wrenching stories sets in and makes me feel like crying.
There was an ah mah, who wanted so much to go home and resort to ways like climbing out of the bed etc. , just anything she could think of, to get out from the hospital . And what happens was that she has 13 children and none of them wants to take care of her! It was just saddening!
I have a few patients who are a 100 year old laa! How did they managed to live till 100 laa! I should have asked them for old aging remedies! Im gonna miss them all!
The staffs in ward 7D are really friendly and nice people to work with! Im really glad to have learn from them and receive their guidance too! And not to forget...
my FRIENDS in this attachment group! I enjoyed SUPER much working with them too! Awesome guys!
It was Gek Min's Birthday on the last day too!
To: My attachment friends, be sure not to forget our gathering on wed! More updates and details will be given!
My baptism is COMING! Just hours later at abt 5!!! Its gonna be a BIG day for me and 2 妹妹s! Super super excited! Cant get to sleep!
As it was the last day of attachment, a few of us went to the place I longed to go!

Mass Casualty Exercise at CGH!
At Changi General Hospital yesterday, there was a mass casualty exercise and the nursing students from various institutions, NP, NYP, NUS participated as the "Casualties" in this exercise!
We got scenarios, as in a casualty tag + card scenario with a picture of the injured part of the body. In my scenario, I was acting as the patient who requires immediate attention as I got "head injury". 
The doctor placed a cervical collar on my neck, intravenous drip and "intubation" ( tube inserted into the airway for breathing) Never really do laa...but stimulated de...Firstly, Winah, Lydia and I are sent from the ambulance and after the ambulance arrived to the emergency department, we were brought by a trolley and be washed by the sprinkle nozzles as it is an re-enactment of a chlorine gas explosion! After which, I was transferred to the bed trolley and many nurses and doctors attended to me and brought me to the P1 section, which is a section which requires immediate treatment...I can see that the nurses, doctors and portals are quick and efficient in handling the "cases"! The whole thing seems so real!
The whole exercise reminds me of playing mamasak, children playing doctor and nurses. Then I was supposed to be brought to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit as I was "intubated" but as there are no spaces in the SICU, I was brought to the Endoscopy Centre, where they transferred me to the bed again with the patslide and took my vital signs.
My real blood pressure reading was 110/62 which was quite good...just that the diastolic of 62 is a bit low... My respiration keep fluctuating and I was lying there with the cervical collar for almost 1+ hour laa! I started to get bored and I observed the equipments they used on me. I tried to hold my breathe to observe my pulse and oxygen level! I realised dat it doesn't really affect the reading! haha!~ Urinary Catheter requisites and intravenous cannula are supposed to be inserted on a real case of a head injury patient. As the curtains are screened, I heard leakage of air and I thought i was from the machine but the sound was so constant and guess wad??? Somebody who acted as the patient fell asleep in the bed and he was SNORING laa! Den the doctor, nurses, sister and I were laughing at the snoring guy! It was hilarious! The guy was so comfortable with the bed at the Endoscopy Centre! Really LOL!~
My wrist tag!~
It was a very good experience for me and I enjoyed being the "patient" for the day!
School starts le! Time Flies! Im in Year 2 liao!
