I just can't stop thanking god.. for all e countless blessings he has showered on me. School has been pretty busy as usual.. im taking one of e most number of subjects in nbs now as a year 3 student- 4 core 1 elec.. :S BUT god will bring me thru:) I was pretty flustered in the beginning of the week as things cropped up but im glad that all falls nicely in place at the end of the week. I JUST GOTTA HAVE MORE TRUST IN GOD.
The blessings from God:
1. In the beginning of the week, my friend who is suppose to pass me her popular finance module found out that the school's computer system just dropped the subject w/o her consent. as a result, i was unable to register for my finance module. I was utterly upset initially because this means that i either had to take a difficult finance module to replace this module together w my heavy acct core modules or I will have to take 5 core modules next sem.. which both r terrible choices! In mid wk, i decided to go ahead and register for the difficult finance module, derivative, and prayed to god that he will provide me thru this deadly sem.. but just this afternoon, when i was walking along the corridor and I bumped into emmeline who said that she knows someone who wants to drop the easy finance module! I grabbed this opportunity and liased w the school and him to ensure that I will be able to get the module. THank god for the right opportunity and timing :)
2. I never expect the world to be this small. In my accounting class this week, I bumped into a fellow school mate, Kelly, whom I had met twice coincidentally in paris when yiling and I were touring western europe together last semester. Kelly and Echo r the 2 NTU students on exchange to Esade university in Barcelona last semester and the 4 of us chance upon each other during the free paris night tour and the Lourve Museum while trying to find the Mona Lisa painting. Subsequently, I added her on my facebook. When I entered into class this semester, I didn't recognised Kelly at all( cos she changed alot since I last saw her in paris) but after chatting for a while, I realised that she went for exchange last semester too and was from Esade university. It suddenly striked me that she was the senior I met at paris..hahaz.. now we r doing our acct project together :)
3. joyce- hahaz.. this one is even more unexpected. Joyce was a new friend that I met in the same accounting class today as she sat next to me. Towards the end of the lesson, we came to a topic on where she stays and she said she lived at dover. I told her that I used to live at dover too and after chatting for a while.. guess wad? Joyce's family is actually the current owner of my old appartment that my family moved out 8 years ago!! gosh.. how small can the world be? I never expect the girl who is sitting next to me to be sleeping in the room which I used to occupy 8 years ago.. Dover crescent was my childhood place.. there r many many memories of my past! Joyce's family moved into the house 5 years ago when the young couple who bought the flat from my parents, sold the apartment to them. My old room used to be pink in colour but joyce said that her room is orange in colour now! hahaz.. I will never forget 8 years ago, how hard it was for me to move out from the place as I loved my big room with attached toilet, my friends, my memories, my past, my childhood.. I was crying as I depart from my old house over to clementi. I used to be a girl who gets very easily emotionally attached to a person or a place. When my favourite maid had to leave my family when I was in primary 4, I cried buckets of tears. I remembered pleading to my parents to keep my maid and to continue staying in Dover but to no avail. After my maid left and a few years later, I moved out of the apartment, I told myself that no matter how sad I am or how much I hated for things to change, I had to learn to accept the change and move on. But now, even after so many years, sadness still lingers in my heart when I think of my old apartment once agn .. I shall visit joyce's home and my old neighbours one day:)
4. I realised today too that farrah had transfered over to my class coincidentally too! Ally and her are assigned to the same project group and they sit at the opposite end of the class. I will find time to catch up w farrah after lesson:)
God thank u for all the coincidences that happened in my life. I know that to me.. it is a coincidence but to u, it is all part and parcel of your wonderful plan for me. I will continue to trust in u and know that u will always be in control.
