Slow to anger and great in faithful love
the Lord is good to everyone
His compassion rests on all He has made
All You have made will praise You Lord
the godly will bless You
"Yes," he replied. "It is right. I'm angry enough to die!"
So the Lord said, "You cared about the plant, which you did not labor over and did not grow. It appeared in a night and perished in a night, Should I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than 120,000 people who cannot distinguish between their right and their left ?
Jonah 4:9-11
After much angst and ranting yesterday, this morning I woke to read this. Is it right for you to be angry? Do i have a right to be angry? People are.. people and we've all fallen short of the glory of God. We all get things wrong. We can't even distinguish between their right and left (well, i can't .. since i drove on the wrong side of the road last night =X) we will always get on each other's nerves. but this is life, and we have to get on with it.
Despite all this, God still loves us. He will save us from the disaster penned upon us, as he saved Nineveh. His grace will never fail, if we recognise His words and turn from our ways. All this because He loves us, and that's the simple truth.
So, when the scorching east wind comes, we have to stand strong in our roots. Not letting the birds eat us up. Stand firm, let our roots dig deeper into the everlasting water, and bear good furt. 0

Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
Okay so explain how zefron causes resp alkalosis
sarah says:
zefron = zac efron
sarah says:
who i saw last week
sarah says:
=
sarah says:
hyperventilation
sarah says:
= less CO2
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
DING DING DING.. Sarah WINS A POINT !
sarah says:
thank you thank you
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
Less CO2 in the blood = ???
sarah says:
alkalosissssss
sarah says:
HCO3-
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
How does the body compensate for it in a HEALTHY lung ?
sarah says:
ahhhhhhhhhh
sarah says:
bufffer
sarah says:
proteins
sarah says:
iunnnooooooo
sarah says:
ZEFRON HELP ME
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
Wahaha
sarah says:
proteins give H+
sarah says:
and then buffer equation
sarah says:
equals
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
I think the normal compensatory mechanism is via baroreceptor
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
The actual compensatory mechanism is to do with RENAL SYSTEM
sarah says:
OOOOOOOO
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
Renal excretion decreases
sarah says:
preach it sister
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
So you have more METABOLIC ACIDS stored in the body
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
Decreased METABOLIC ACID = Less HCO3- absorption
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
And thats how the body tries to compensate for it
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
The resp. acid is not the same as the metabolic acid. The resp acid = Carbonic acid = volatile, therefore can be expired/eliminated from the body through expiration
Steffi. Exam Result Prediction : MicroBiology = EPIC FAIL says:
Otherwise the rest of the acids in the body = non volatile therefore cannot be expired through respiration 0
i'm dreaming of a white christmas

A question posed at friday's impact. Some of the answers people gave. Some serious, some hilarious. Some truthful.
Who from today's society would you choose to most accurately represents Jesus? List the reasons why.
- Mother Theresa: Serves, gave up her life to help the underprivileged, With her actions, she showed God's love to those in need.
- Pope John Paul II: Because he just is! Wise, forgiving.
- Obama: Because people look to him for hope, Accepted by people yet some people wanted him dead.
- Tim Costello: Mission-focused, People-focused
- Andrew Morley
- Martin Luther King: Fought for equality
- My father: Because Jesus/ God is my father too.
- Joshua Kennedy: Because he looks like Jesus and saved Australia XD
- Jesus himself: He is living in today's society, isn't he?
XD

today ian finished his vce exams, and after prayer meet we crashed his house and found uncle wai wah in a 98 degress fanboy tshirt (he claims he doesn't know who they are.. yeah right, closet fanboy :P) we macdonalded it up (chicken nuggets cause we're asian and we turn yellow) and then me and the boy talked til way past 1am about .. stuff :D it was a good night.
which brought me thinking about my vce (as i always do, cause it was the best ever lol). the moment i heard 'pens down' on my last exam (chemistry :D) -- the weight lifted from my shoulders and ahhhh . it was the best feeling XD
that was probably one of the best days ever (i have a few best days :P) and all documented on my old blog. notice if ive changed my blogging style since two year ago & lol at how i used to photoshop the photos for blogging (totally don't have time / cbb doing that anymore XD)
1. chem exam
i was happy with it, and thats all ill say.
1.5 after the exam
we walked around school for a bit and farewelled sherly D: and then me and li took the tram down to the city (after graffiting the bench with "li <3's>
we took ages searching for meena's birthday present, cause we had no idea where the nearest optus store was. but we finally found it, and they didnt have the phone li had researched, so we got the V3 motorolla which is so DAMN SEXY . i want it . but it was for meena . so we bought it, and then went to jb to get the mp3 player (and i got jesse's single) .
we then went on a search for the card, but stopped by several clothes shops on th way, and as we entered this certain one.. I SAW THE PRETTIEST DRESS EVERRz. so me and li went to try them on for the sake of it .
but i loved it soo much that i bought it, as a endofexams present for myself ^______^V and li got a skirt. and with our $50 purchase, we got a free voucher worth $150 for a makeover/photo session which was PERFECT for li :D
we continued our search, and found ourselves at coles express , me&li's hangout and then jn called us to say they had arrived, and to meet them at the ..
2. mitt
where we took many many photos.
3. card. sw peter & tlaunch .
so once we had met up, we continued our search for the card, which found us at borders where we spent a significant amout of time. we finally decided on a tiny book for everyone to sign in, and a dog wearing glasses for mrd . we also saw many 'adult' cards which were quite disturbing.
4. sit ct red chairs
wII
- saw poon & tims
we took a break and saw under the clock at mc, where we saw tim lei, and i had a very intense handshake/conversation with him, and then the other tim , justin and other friends arrived. they were there to play WII , and thought we were too . but we werent . when suddenly, i saw luke (my first crush from yr7 xD) and so i was excited . lolol . i also saw mon&winst for a breif second.. but then they dissapeared .
5. stalk poon halfly
bowl strike
li left soon after, and then we were gonna stalk luke, but uh.. we didnt. so we went bowling instead. one game was advertised for $12, but when the chicka said students get 1 game for $5 ! SCOREEE !! so we were really happy . and we wrote our names as "harry kewell , dean geyer , lucas neill & tim cahill " and you can guess whose who . harry got so many stikes, lucas got a few ? dean geyer got two i think, but had a run of three '1's in a row , and tim got A STIRKE AND A SPARE ! harry won xP
6. intense discussions on moles (& females for suwii)
while we were bowling, we had the best deep&meaningful . about life, friendship,family and.. mostly boys. it was so good, we bonded so much xD and many truths were found out, and we learnt heaps about each other. many scenarios were proposed. and we confirmed suwii's lesbian tendencies XP (jkjk)
6.7 too smokey
these guys came in, and they started smoking, so we decided to finish off the game quickly and leave.
7. movie ticket bough saw yr11s but actually yr 12s
we decided to catch a movie, and we were deciding between the devil wears prada at 7.15 or the wrong man at 6.30 ( it was 6.10ish by then) , and saw mamie and others. we decided to get tickets to the devil wears prada, so we would have more time to eat dinner.
8. tickeket guy
- studio arts
so we absentmindedly bought tickets for the movie, and jn flirted with the hoyts guy. we found out that he was also in yr12, and had just finished yesterday. so we said .. what.. physics ?! and he said no, studio arts, im one of "those students" and he told us he dropped maths in yr10 . and we said we did spesh maths .
9. spit
-wash hair
on obtaining the tickets, we decided to go back down for some food, and as we reached the groud level.. i felt something splat on my head . so i reached to touch it .. and . it . was . bubbly . it didnt register for a while, but linda got hit too .. and we found it was .. SPIT . O_____________O so we ran around screaming and found the nearest toilets and washed our hair (at the sinks, not the bowls ) . IT WAS SOOO GROSSSSEEE .
10. dinner perchases +nutella state lib .
after we recovered from the spit incident, we went to get dinner, and split up. linda&jn to kfc and me&suwii for nandos. then linda went to get nutella from coles, so we decided to met on the state libaray lawn. but when we met, it was too cold so we ended up back at the mitt.
11. mitt & marriages
we continued our d&m, while eating dinner but moved onto to general marriage talk.
12. the wrong man/toilets
>black guy
we presented our toilets, and the ticketgirl said cinema 5, so we headed there, while jn went to the toilet.
when we got in, we saw a huge screen of JOSH HARTNETTS FACE . mmmmm .
but we thought we had bought tickets to the devil wears prada which was at 7.15, and when we checked our tickets, they were indeed for the wrong man which was at 6.30 . AND IT WAS 7.30ish already.
so we freaked out, and ran into the toilets jn was in and yelled our plight to her .
we then told our dilemma to the ticketguy(who was black) and he told us we could go into the devil wears prada instead.
so we did. and i realy liked it :)
13. run across green light
> living on the edge
we walked/skipped/danced down swanston
&running a green light is really the definiton of living on the edge. woohoooo.
14. krispykreme
we had heaps of time waiting for the tram, so i dragged my dear friends to krispykremes and i bought a box. while suwii bought a bottle of orangeljuice which had its lid broken.
16. suwii bday party & sparkler
we journeyed to fedsquare, but while i searched my bag for my phone to call my parents, i found sparklers from muckupday! so we decided to light them. but somewhere discrete, which lead us to along the sides of the yarra river. it was really dodgy & there was a drunked party going on nearby . but we lighted the spaklers, and run around .. and then sang happy birthday to suwii (even tho her bday is in may) .
15. fed square & bangledeshy photos
we went back to fedsquare, and decided to take a photo, a proper group photo. so asked these guys sitting around. so they took it, and when thanking them, we put on fobby accents. it went a little like this:
me: ah, thanka you. we tourists. u guy from mel-boun?
guys: no, actually we are from bangledesh
me: oh really, i am from malaysia, and she is also from malaysia (referring to suwii)
jane: i am from hongkong, we all just met yesterday
linda: yah, we are from tour
jane: we lost our tourguide !!
me: so you enjoy mel-boun ?
guys: no, its boring.
me: *pointing to taxihotel* why dont you go dancydancing?
guys: o________o
me: ... oh no, we have go to now, check into hotel !!
*us running away laughing our heads off*
& zomg how rude of them saying melbourne is boring. im insulted ! >____>
group photos <33
17. tram stop karoke
so then we saw the tram coming, and i thougt we were gonna miss it, so i told everyone to run to the next stop. so we ran. and got there in heaps of time. the tram arrived, and we realised.. it was tram72/74/76 . which wasnt ours. so we waited for the next one, while singing evermore&wonderwall and other songs. and finally the tram came.
18.listing
>reminising
we squeeezed onto a very packed tram, where this lady was totally flirting with the tramdriver.
and we decided to make a list of our day, so i could blog it (as i am now) so we got the krispykreme evaluation slip out, and wrote on that. in numbered point form. and we reminised about the day we had. so the headings you see in this blog are exactly how they were written on our list. so yes. we also took more photos.
i love you guys :D
19. re-read list
we reread list, and then talked a little more. when we got to our stop, all our parents were waiting for us. so we went our seperate ways.
the end.
oh so much .

something i learnt in grup therapy at my mental health placements .
core beliefs are central - what we believe about ourselves and about the world around us .
scenario: getting told of by your boss .
example of core belief: "I'm a failure" - automatically you result to self-blame, self-critical, angry, self concious. your boss told you off because you did something wrong.
example of core belief: "I'm a competent person" - automatically "what's wrong with him? he must be having a bad day" won't take is personally, as you know you are competent and did not do anything wrong.
where do core beliefs come from? they are re-inforced over time.
upbringing, childhood, parental styles/expectations, siblings, friends, the response of significant people in our lives . your experiences across your life.
these core beliefs can change over time, we can change them.
just because you have these experiences, doesn't meant that those core beliefs are true.
sometimes to identify these core beliefs is too confronting.
i am my own person and that is good enough. i do not need to be compared to others to determine my own self worth. 0
