Everything will be alright.

There's a chinese proverb saying,船到桥头自然直 (When the boat gets to the pier-head, it will go straight with the current; Everything will be alright.) I hope that everything is indeed going to turn out alright. After today's cell group meeting, Jared really made me think back about how I got to where I am today. I guess I was too distracted with all the mindless worries. So I've actually applied for Glasgow school of Arts(GSA) under Singapore Institute of Technology in the month of February. And..the thing is I was accepted and offered a place in GSA.

Although my request for deferring the degree program was rejected (insert sad face here), I'm still glad that I got in!

I've never ever thought that I would be accepted into a government university. Where I am today is more than a miracle. Six years ago, my sec 5 life never looked so bleak and uncertain (it's still quite uncertain now but better!). My O Levels scored at 28pts L1R4 and terrible is not even the correct adjective to describe it. Hence, I got into Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts; a private arts institution that is willing to take in people that aren't very good at maths (me lah). I'm not saying that NAFA is bad, but the school was the stepping stone to where I am. And the result of this 3 years of my life, I have finally found what I want to do.

The funny thing is that I graduated with a GPA average score of 2.68 which was considered pretty bad according to polytechnic's standard. But, I got in — I got into a government university that offers design programs!

If I were to see this from another perspective, it's mind boggling. God is indeed good all the time! Though I cannot see His hand move but I know that He has been working on all the nitty gritty details in my life all along. This year would be my turning point and I won't say that I have reached the top yet, but I'll do my best and leave the rest to God. The biggest challenge right now is up ahead and I do hope I am ready for it.
