There's gotta be more to studies!!

After 6 months of haitus.. it's time to blog back again.. New semester was stressful as a whole (approaching exam time soon), did tri races and volunteered them too...

O Levels for my youth at this point, and well it seemed that it really 'grind' them well over the past weeks.. But one thing i question: What if they don't get to where they want to go? I see their blogs, and I am so worried for them, that if they did not do well, it's like the 'end of the world' for some... Guess O level is another 'test' for them. Pray that they will be able to see deeper than just gaining the grades..

Oh well, they will still do better than me anyway: Getting a D7 for English destroyed all hopes of going into JCs, and L1R5=20 then is like going to JCs that are far away from my home. Poly did wrong course (in a sense, wanted to do Chem stuff, but got Biotech!), stayed for another 1 semester, due to fail Engg. Math. Got a chance to study in NIE (to teach of course!), and was blessed with the dream of every Dip. Ed holder: Crossover to do degree prog. Now 6 more months to complete another sem before going into the working world...

In retrospect, He worked it all out for me.. Good grades in Science (and overall) allowed me to do Biotech, which was essential to teach Science at primary school level. Though I stayed in Poly longer, I managed to help a peer of mine who was drifting away from God in his studies (He's a Christian minister now, ministering in the East). Met my juniors in Poly, whom I attended 1 of their weddings recently.

Redo O Level English as a private student in 2004 and got B3, which means no English Proficiency Test and chance to apply to NIE to teach... At NIE,I was supposed to teach 3 subjects (Eng, Math, Sci) and I did something rare: I dropped English for Art (??). By grace, did well enough (4.04/5 GPA) to do degree prog and my Uni major? English Language...

Hmm..hmm.. At the end of the day, He has a plan for all of us. Sound cliche, but as I see my past and now reflecting upon it, I can only say that God is working throughout my journey at this point. All glory to Him.. To all who are preparing for exams, continue to prepare and work hard, but trust in the One who leads the way for you and go for His plan.. Enjoy...
