A new life in the west.

31st January 2012: I had to leave the east side of Singapore and move to the West to live. When I received my posting, (I admit) my heart sank. To those whom I've spoken to, you should know why I felt that way. I'm learning to appreciate what God gave me and not always demand for the best. Just like one of my friends who commented on my fb status. God gives me what i need not what I want.

Indeed it is a privilege for me to me studying @ such a awesome school in such an awesome boarding school. (photos will be taken when I get back my windows phone! )

What's best is this is a christian sch and hostel which means practically 365 days we will b praying tgth before dinner and be having devotions and worship sessions every week. amazing huh? This will definitely help me and remind me of what God has done in my life.

Today was the first day of school - orientation. Orientation will be held till Friday. Jc 2s were really friendly, enthu and outgoing. They were so high! Can't imagine myself being like tt next year but i certainly do wish to forge friendships like how they are with one another..

Definitely, I still brood about Jae's posting about my school but i must belive that God has a better plan for me. I really did not see this coming. Therefore, i'm excited for my journey ahead and at the same time worried. However as the Word says :

NIV Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

NLT Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Pray for me too, if you so happen to read this post (:

Signing off, jan

Thank you my Great Big Daddy God

As you guys know, O levels results were released last Monday. It was a memorable experience as all of us held hands in the air-conditioned hall while anticipating for the final moment. Our principal started by revealing the statistics of the entire cohort's performance. And then, the Top Students.

Honestly, my heart dropped when I did not see my name on the first four slides of top students. Those pages revealed those students who managed to score 10,9,8,7 A1s.

When I did not see my name up there, i freaked out. Composed exterior, frenzied interior. Indeed, I felt glad for three of my good girl friends for getting 10 & 9A1s. It was not an easy feat. Yet at the same time, I envied them. & was constantly questioning myself about my performance. As the top students went to take photographs with the vips, I sat there, reflecting in disappointment, not prepared to face the reality.

Finally, it was my turn. I went to my form teachers, signed my name, and they handed me my results. " Good job, Janice. This is very good results."

I looked down, skimmed through the grades, and let out a sigh of relief. My lips curved into a smile. My furrowed brows no longer tensed. "Thank God,"I whispered. Well it wasn't that bad, at least, I still managed to get straight As (: Praise the Lord!

Of course, initially, I wasn't satisfied. I was angry at myself and jealous at others who did exceptionally well. What happened to me? I thought crossly to myself.

At the end of the day, I prayed and prayed and asked God for forgiveness for behaving as such. I thanked Him for His endless grace upon me, for without God's guidance and wisdom, I definitely would not have made it.

So, thank you Jesus. For the next chapter of my life, whatever JC i go to, let your will be done in my life. For this life has been dedicated unto you and I will obey you and bring glory to your name.

All glory to God (:

A 'Bangkoky" Christmas (:

Time to leave and say goodbye. Taking with us all the memories and leaving all the rubbish behind :P

Well, this trip was really fruitful. Just that, due to a wrong sleeping position on the last day, I ended up with a sprained neck till today. Can't really turn my head yet. Pray I would get well and there will be no need to wear some neck cast for new year's countdown ):
