-Establishment of your career(no money,no honey... How about the ladies' 5Cs?or is it 7 now?)
-Finding the right partner(both business and wife)
-your marriage(to your wife and your in laws. Oh hell yeah...)
-your finance
-your family
Basically, I feel these are events that will eventually shape up your life and who you become. The scariest thing about it that it is your own responsibility, and there is only so much your parents and loved ones can do for you at this point in your life. It is about taking up your own responsibility.
I 'managed' to ORD 3weeks ago and I got to make decisions as to what i am going to do with my life,with my studies and future. All along I always thought i want to do economics or business course but honestly deep down I was not feeling so sure about doing it. When ORD drew closer, I got even more worried because I don't see a clear direction that I got to take in this 'junction'. I had no idea what I want to study,I needed directions BIG TIME.
Being a Christian(I never shared my religion on this blog), I am taught that nothing happens by chance and there is a God who is all-knowing. Even many friends whom i talk to also because there is a 'higher power' somewhere(mind you,they are not Christians). As Christians, we believe in prayer and fasting, and when we seek, we will surely find. My good friends and I decided to fast and pray for a week before I went off to Indonesia on the 13th of December. I specifically prayed for a few things:
1)My friends i wanted to bring for Christmas service.
2)My study plan(Location and the course specifically that i should take)
3)My shirt business plan I am starting this year.
Coincidentally,that week was the morning prayer meetings as well. I strongly believe that when you in facing a LIFE junction, never ever leave anything to chance. The fact is God knows His plans for you,and you will have control of your own life. Your life is crafted by the decisions you made and will make in the future!
So what exactly happen and my plan for the future?
During my trip to Indonesia, I attended my parents' school Christmas service and it seemed to hit me that there is so much that can be done in the education system in Indonesia. Technology can change a society for a while, but I personally believe it is education that will stay with an individual forever. Is Indonesia not good enough? I pray someday that I will be equipped to nurture and structure the education system in my parents' school and subseuqntly Jakarta,so that the students will have a holistic education!
With that, the confession that I applied for university in Australia,Monash. I think many were shocked, but because if I stayed in Singapore, I am bonded by MOE for a good 4 years. Furthermore, studying in Australia will expose me to yet another different education system.I think many of my friends are at my age, facing a similar LIFE function as well. Grab hold of the opportunities around you, and don't leave your future to chance. If you believe in a God,seek for His directions. If you don't, explore your options and be wise in your decisions! I believe we will do great things in our lifetime!
Well, I made my decision at this junction. Please keep me in prayer. I know this dream may be daunting and impossible, but I know with Him, and the right friends around me, I can do it. One day, slowly but surely... I will achieve it!!
'No matter what happens,
here i am standing,
on the hope of Your words,
Promised to me...'
