week 10 of O&G

on tuesday, something dreadful nearly happened. i was having dimsum with six of my classmates, and i suddenly wanted to know if somebody had posted something on my facebook wall. seeing simon's iphone4 (seriously though, why would you need an iphone4 if you have an iphone3 already?), i mentioned my curiosity to him. he began to load up facebook on his iphone.

stop.

here we were, sitting at a table with friends, and we were about to tune out of our immediate surroundings in order to enter the world of virtual communication. we were going to eschew human companionship for a touchscreen.

does that not seem very, very wrong? i realised this and stopped him in time. we returned to enjoy the immediate company of our companions. what a close call.

also, my group did our evidence based medicine presentation yesterday. we ended up getting some very good feedback and our first job offers (as doctors).

thank you God, for reminding me to sometimes step out of my usual social circles.

thank you God, for showing me what can come out of love.

finally, i have been addicted to this song all week. it is such a wonderful celebration of God's love. the mushy final fantasy video is definitely an added bonus!

The world is littered with unfinished visions, and is not life such a vision? And is not the finishing of any thing a little death?
