Went for my church dawn prayer meeting at 5.30 this morning.This is the second dawn prayer meeting I attended this year.
Basically my church is having an event asking the church members to bring their friends and non-christian to church this Sunday.
They had the hold thing planned few weeks back. Sending letters, calling the people they intend to bring.
So this week's dawn prayer meeting is focusing on this event.
Though I doubt I'll be bringing anyone, but attending the service and praying for others that will be turning up is the least I can do.....
But due to the Tuesday Service last night and the dawn prayer meeting, I slept less than 5 hours last night and was drowsy the whole day at school...

Tuesday Service
Went to a Tuesday Service with few of my church friends.
The service is organized by YWAM Korea, every Tuesday evening. They usually hold their service in a church building belonging to Yoido Full Gospel Church at Kangnam.
The service started at 6.30p.m. and was attended mostly by young adults and youths. From what I heard the congregation ranges from 2000-4000 each week. I think quite a lot didn't turn out last night due to the university mid-term exams..
Anyway, the service was wonderful, from the aspect of praise and worship that is, and also prayer. Well, I guess it's something to be expected from people who would come to a churh service on Tuesday evening. They were passionate. In their worship and prayer (not that I understand all, in fact I can hardly understand what they mumble during prayerㅠㅠ).
Now do I understand how come the Gospel could spread so fast within Korea. It's by the effert of all these prayer warriors. Those who are serious in seeking God. Seeking His Kingdom.
Guess there are lots of things I can learn from those bunch of people....

A Week
I don't think there has ever been a week that I wished it passed by faster except last week.
Having a bandage around my mouth and not able to talk and eat as I wish is really something unbearable for me....
And having to cook porridge for myself 3 times a week is something new as well.
BUT, all those are gone now^^
Went to the hospital just now and had my check-up. The doctor said that the "thing" was cause by the blokage of the saliva glands in my lower lips, at least that's how I understood it.
After searching the net to get more details on it (I got the name from the doc: mucocele), this is what I got:
Pathophysiology
1.Results from traumatic rupture of Salivary Glands
2.Results in mucin spillage into lower lip
Signs
1.Benign lesion 1-2 cm diameter on lip surface
2.Round, regular, translucent or bluish Nodule
Management
1.Surgical excision
And here are some pics of it.
Well, at least now I don't have to worry any more, Thank God^^

Pumpkin Porridge...
Was thinking of having something soft and easy to swollow for dinner, so went to a shop near my house and ordered porridge.
At first I thought of ordering red bean porridge, but they have pumpkin porridge, prawn porridge, beef porridge; but red bean porridege wasn't on the menu......
So, fearing that the prawn might cause my wound to become itchy, I ordered...pumpkin porridge.
The first few scoop was quite alright, tasting something different, but half-way through I gave up..it was..err....doesn't suit my taste...
I believe the tuna porridge I cook the other day was better. And even my pineapple porridge during my financial crisis early this year was much more bearable.....

Minor Surgery
Went to the hospital this afternoon to have a check on my mouth.
Had an ulcer since 2 months ago, the ulcer grew and burst, burst then grew again.
So, at first I thought it was due to some virus or bacteria, so didn't take much note of it, but it became so big last week that few of my friends and seniors suggested me to go to the hospital.
But yesterday when I woke up, the ulcer burst again, and it seemed to be getting much better, so I was thinking " still need to go see the doctor ar?".
But as 2 of my friends were going to that area this afternoon, so I thought of going with them, after all no harm mar. All paid by jpa^^
But after the doctor had a look at it, he said that it seemed like something, some foreign object got stuct in my lip (inner lower lip), and right away they started to take it out.
And what seemed funny to me was that the doctor even took pictures of it before doing the surgery.
The whole surgery process wasn't that painful, I was still awake, they only gave me anaesthesia for my lips. But the doctor asked me to closed my eyes and covered my face with a piece of cloth(?) so I weren't able to see what they were doing....
The thing that I can't figure out is: the thing was inside my lips, how come I have a bandage outside??
Right after the surgery I didn't feel any pain, but after an hour I could feel my swollen lips and it was a bit painful...
And I can't even brush my teeth for the next few days.... The doctor gave me medicine for me to wash my mouth after every meals.....
So, for the next one whole week I can't go swimming, and had to cancel my plan of going rafting tomorrow....
But Thank God everything was alright lar^^ Hopefully I can recover faster...for a talkative like me, not being able to talk as much as I want is something much more painful than the pain on my lips itself...ㅠㅠ

Glad^^
Met another of my church member today in Campus.
I know 3 of the church members that attend SNU, the first one I met last year when I first came(though I wasn't that church's member yet), and today another one.
Was indeed really really glad. It's like...well...it just feels good to met another church member in school...kinds of reminds me of the the times I used to see the other church members in Batu Lintang....
Had lunch with him, and as what I expected from a Korean who is much older than me(6 years), he paid for my lunch^^

My Name is Kim Sam Sun
Just finished my first Korean drama in Korean without any subtitle this week^^
Strange that, though the Korean drama fever has been around for quite sometime, I never actually finish one whole drama from beginning to the end. Either I was interested in it or didn't had the time or miss a few episodes due to my tuition and stuff like that....
My Name is Kim Sam Soon- quite an interesting drama. Can even be considered as this year's biggest hit drama (in Korea maybe). The influence of the drama on the society was indeed big, especially for the not-so-skinny women^^
But what I like best was her job as a baker....hmmm...yummy yummy^^

19 Years Old....
This is my last "teen"age years....but actually in Korea, I'm 20 today cause they count the age 1 year older than the actual birth date....
But anyway, had a great time just now^^
Was with my friends at a pondok(small shelter) next to Anyang river (about 20mins walk from my house) just now. The weather wasn't on my side. At first we planned to stay at a basketball field by the river, but due to the rain the ground was too wet. So, we changed our location to a pondok opposite the river. But come to think of it, isn't it romantic? I mean, how many people get to celebrate their birthday in a pondok beside the river on a raining day? ^^
So, the 8 of us gathered there, with 2 BBQ chicken, a cake, 1.5 packet of bak po , a bottle of beer, a packet of twisties and a bottle of home made soya bean milk. With that, my friends celebrated my 19th Year old birthday with me^^
This is my second time celebrating my birthday overseas, in a foreign land far away from my families. It's during such times that you really appreciate the presence of your friends around you....
So after the dinner cum supper, came back home and waited till the right time to come on-line^^ And just as the clock on my com turned 12, my msn messenger was flooded with birthday wishes^^ It was indeed really really fun^^ Thanks everyone^^
Here I'd like to thank those who sent me all those creative, cute, beautiful e-cards, all the msn greetings and wishes, all the friendster's birthday testimonials, all those who spent the evening with me just now, and the presents that you all spent the time searching and buying, THANKS^^
Thanks a lot you all^^ Really really appreciate it^^
