wow.. another week has already passed.. time flies by so fast! i'm actually kinda getting bored with blogging... but i'll keep it up-to-date as best i can for all of you wonderful readers out there!! anyway, a little update on me: i donated blood!! oo..wow.. big time.. as if i've done the world a huge favour.. like i'm superman or captain america (for those who were born within my age, you'd probably remember the man with the colourful mask and shield lightweight enough to fly like a frisbee..) but i truly remember what impacted me the most. firstly, one of the major benefits (besides the free medical ones that increase the more you donate) of donating blood is the very reason blood donations exist... to save lives.. i have no idea whom my A-type blood will save, but its there for their use and for someone's survival. in the midst of a SARS scare that's gripping the world (although traffic accident-related deaths per day can eliminate more lives than SARS could so far), knowing that i've done a part to help save a life is something i'm proud of. secondly, donating blood gives me this wonderful feeling inside me that i can sort of equate with the sense of peace and joy that i get when serving God. its an awesome wonderful sense of God's favour, i guess, when i do these type of things. i believe serving God is not just being cf president, or serving in praise and worship, or leading a cell group, but even acts such as donating blood would make God happy. its the very same reason as Jesus commands us to love one another as ourselves.. amazing well, there's a lot to it than i can really imagine.. the lives it saves, the smile on the faces of relatives and close friends, the chance that even the life i saved may become the next great leader of Malaysia - hey, u never know! anyway, that's been what's happening so far..a little distraction from the scare and worry of upcoming exams and a weak immune system.. peace!
