Some of you have heard me yak about it for the past few years. Endured my yakking and showed your support in whatever decision I come to. Yes, this is the decision.
Things didn’t go smoothly or as what I expected. Struggled with the decision and then I didn’t get a place in the college, aka hall in Singaporean language. At that time, it was like die lah. Where am I going to stay? Who am I going to stay? There’s just tons of uncertainty. The news didn’t sink in well especially I received it during Chinese New Year. It completely spoiled my mood. The days were spent worrying and frantically calling and finding out if there are rooms available. What bothers me most is that my family was dead worried. Gosh, what have I done? I felt like a selfish pig who just wants things my way. I felt really guilty. That’s nothing much I could do but to pray. I don’t know if it’s because I ‘bo chap’ or that I am behaving in this way to distress or that I am leaving it to God. It seems that all my feelings and emotions have stopped functioning because of the bad news of my unsuccessful application.
“ O Lord, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God. Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.” Psalm 38:21-22,
Perhaps that eased the stress level and helps me not to think about it. But God’s word was comforting…
I believe that God will not leave me in a foreign land without an accommodation. He will definitely take care of my needs, my basic need of a shelter. He is working something out. Surely. Surely.
So I called the hall again. And good news was waiting for me! I found the news I was looking for. I was offered me a place in Burgmann College! Hurray! THANK YOU GOD! I knew that You will never forsake to survive on my own.
I am just so thankful to God and the people He brought to me who helped me to look for accommodation and who just listened to me pouring out my worries. There are also many others and miraculous situation I wanna give thanks for:
1) Exchange rate to drop, drop, drop. 2) Free bank drafts. Thanks Pricilla! You are an angel! 3) Free luggage. Thanks Li Chin! Thanks Roy! 4) Royston and Deliah for buying the textbooks for me. 5) Aaron and Roy for all your advice and help. 6) Jason, Alan and Eleanor for keeping a lookout for accommodation and churches. 7) Wonderful colleagues to wish me all the best and all the blessings, gifts and dinners you’ve showered me with. 8) Cell group to pray for me all these months. 9) All my relatives for their extra Hong Bao to me for my studies. You have been very generous! 10) Kevin, my cousin, to get free siren for me. Thanks Kevin! 11) Nazir, my cousin, for checking out my textbooks at Clementi bookshop. 12) A sister to push me to start planning, packing and look for my permanent accomodation! 13) My parents for giving me their blessings to go and pursue what I want to do. 14) God, to go through every step with me and let everything fall into place.
And many others who prayed for me, come up once in awhile to check out what’s the latest update.
Thank you everyone for everything that you have done for me. I am very grateful. Keep in touch via msn or e-mail (clumszcat@hotmail.com). Remember to keep me in your prayers because you are in mine.
Take care.
