Returning back to Adelaide...

Wow, time sure flies again.. was only back for about 12 days in s'pore right after my last exams. N now it's time to return back to adelaide again, for a little holiday with family and a new start to a new semester 2! The time in s'pore was short but sweet. Really appreciate home more and more everytime I'm back and will miss family and the conveniences in s'pore. Things are different in adelaide, but at least the weather is better, and friends are there to encourage me.

Results were out a few days ago, it wasn't that great a feeling to know that I flunked one subject. My 1st time failing, it was hard to accept it, and it was a real hard knock on the head for me knowing that i have to repeat a subject, but i guess it means it's time for me to buck up even more and to focus on that particular area of the subject. Maybe it's an opportunity for me to get my credits/distinctions so that I may get my honours. Who knows, it's all God's divine plan for me and I can only trust Him with what He has planned for me in adelaide and in my life. Upset, yes, but I learnt to pick myself up and to learn from my mistakes and to even rely more on Him, than on my own thoughts and wisdom.

Returning back to adelaide for a new semester, this will be the 2nd half of the year, and by the time i return back to s'pore again, it'll be coming to the end of 2007. Wow, another year is almost over and I have a year and a half left b4 I graduate. I wish time would pass faster so i can grad faster, but then I am reminded, I would be missing out on the opportunities to serve God and to enjoy overseas life while I am still able to. Thank God for providing me and my family financially for me to study overseas, and even for a chance for to me to retake any subject should I have to, such as this semester. Looking forward to a great new semester with new responsiblities, new challenges and new things to learn, see n do! Life is indeed full of ups and downs, but I will have to learn to use my downs to improve my ups, and hold on to the promise that God is able to turn anything bad for my good, and that He has a bright future planned for me. :-)
