I may want to explore....

While waiting for my result, I have many things running in my mind: the financially-unwell month that is happening; the celebration of Christ's commercialised birthday (because His birthday is not on Dec); the upcoming of a new year; where God would lead me in life next year and many more.

I can still remember the Bak Kut Teh @ Balestier with my family when we were discussing my cousin's wedding. Of course, I made a disturbing comment about receiving another cousin's ang bao. You have no idea how "black" their faces were. My family believes that getting married is to avoid being nagged because it is quite impolite to receive ang bao from a younger generation or something. I'm already receiving one ang bao from a younger cousin; and another one is tying her knot this coming January.

Well, I can avoid by 'running' away so that I do not need to face those gossips or whatsoever. I can go find some Tom, Dick or Harry to pose as a potential bf but it'll not do anyone good, especially when it comes to spiritual terms. I can be present and refuse the ang bao because that's not my main motive for coming on CNY. I'd rather choose the last choice because I still believe in Chinese tradition - that celebrating CNY is to fellowship with relatives whom you have not seen for a year. Mainly to update what I'm doing and even though they may say unpleasant things, I am supposed to show grace and shine for God. That'll train me as a growing Christian as well.

Anyway, enough of this singleness thing. One of my students' mum asked if I'm keen to teach sec 1. I've talked to God about it and have received encouragement from my mentors. I'm keen to teach lower secondary students and would like to explore syllabus as well. Just like how I picked up primary teaching, I'm willing to learn.

Speaking of which, I should prepare for my MOE entry soon. To me, future always seems so bright with Christ. Having faith that we will receive grace from God and hope for the future tells us that we really need to rely on Him. It's always exciting to anticipate what God has in plan for me, be it good and bad (bad can't be that bad, I noticed).

I'm so excited about my mission trip! Counting down to 3 days!!! :DD right, what a sudden change in emotions. I shall go prepare myself for the matrimony tomorrow.
