it's been lovely being able to meet up and catch up with many people the past few days. haven't seen a lot of people i would like to see yet, but there's still time (: (:
had lunch with and then shopped with ame xinny and rach yesterday. had a very enjoyable time catching up with them :D went back to acforpassionac after that.. it's a really different feeling going back as an alumnus. how do i put it... it's like you've seen a lot more after jc and being back in the hall made me feel a tad bit old :/
when i hear about the lengthy process my friends had/have to deal with with regards to uni applications, i feel like my uni application was unbelievably hassle-free in comparison.
in my case, i just knew i had to do well for prelims cos i was already planning to apply for uni with predicted grades. and i just needed to get the relevant testimonials and look for the teachers in charge to endorse the testimonials etc etc. probably nowhere near as complicated as the application for local unis.
hmm yesterday was talking to ame about the feeling of how your future is 'hanging in the air'. in her case a particular body has been taking extremely long to get back to her. and for me, well, my waiting period thankfully wasn't that long in comparison. the actual process of applying for this one uni didn't give me much problems. i wasn't particularly nervous about it. perhaps it was because i was still in the midst of a levels and the reply wasn't particularly top on my list of concerns.
after i got my coe, i was probably more nervous about whether i could take the math subject i wanted to. it was the pondering of which course to do that took up a great deal of my mind last year; and from the time i received my coe to the early part of this year, it was questioning whether the major i wanted to do was my calling.
sometimes you just need to think back and reflect to realise the tremendousness of God's hand working in your life. just need to be continually plugging back into and seeking direction from the True source.
sometimes it's when we think we've got something figured out, that we start to deviate from the narrow path. 'whatever is true, noble, right, pure... if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things'... i certainly need to constantly keep my heart condition - motives and intentions - in check.
just listened to the recording of last week's sermonatlifeex. how true that at every point in our lives, we ARE at a place. we just need to hold up the sign - one that points people to the Truth. forget the needless comparisons with other people's signboards... just hold up your signboard the way you know how. be an imagebearer, representing faith, hope, love, life...
