all the best, folks!!
Q: How do you know that you’ve truly started working?
A: When everyone’s got exams and you haven’t… *cheeky grin greeted by threatening stares and glares from STUDENT OCFers*…

Speaking about exams I think they got more manageable with each year (in my 6-year-uni-experience anyway). Still remember I used to get really bad tension headaches and insomnia in my first year, then it was racing thoughts and hyperactive mind in my second year. Third year med was kinda okay, so was fourth year (research year and the year where the exams didn’t really count towards anything, also incidentally the year where you get to spend your time doing lotsa things outside school like OCF.. hehe). Fifth year was the toughest (I think it’s the first time I cried - it was interviewstyle exams and I was nervous/stressed the night before, so my friend decided we should all take a break and just worship God and tears just flowed when we sang Enter In. I was just overwhelmed as His peace filled my heart, literally as the song goes "King of glory, enter in…" Final year was supposedly the most stressful but I think after 6 years I learnt to cultivate the trust and dependence on God, that He’d carry me through like how He’d graciously done so in the previous years. And He did.
He did it all, BECAUSE.
Funny now as I look back on my student years it’s become more obvious that the fingerprints of God are smeared right across each season. BIG enough to be the Creator of the universe, small enough that what matters to me matters to Him.
All the best for the exams, folks!!
