Failure and Disappointment
It does sound like a very depressing title doesn't it and I'm sorry to have put it there but it seemed only appropriate to my situation. Well, you will have known that I took 8 exams this summer. Well, yesterday I got my results and found out that I failed two of my modules. I guess the Chinese mentality of "failure is not an option" really got to me at that point of time. I think a few tears slipped out of my eye though now that I think about it, it might have been more because I was quite tired already and the bad news probably just tipped me over the edge.
In any case, I cooled down surprisingly quickly and my super supportive parents were a big help by not making such a huge deal of it. I find it hard to believe now that a few moments later I even found myself whistling "Great is Thy Faithfulness" and I knew that God was there. It's not all great to be humbled in this way but if it brings God glory, then Praise Him indeed!!!
Please do pray for me though as now I'm waiting for an email that will either tell me that I have to retake the two modules in August This would mean that I'll probably be like a chicken without a head trying to organise taking them exams again somewhere in Singapore. I would probably have to pay about 100 pounds and work out if I need to fly back to Singapore from Australia earlier, costing more money so please do pray that this won't happen. It would be really difficult for me to revise these modules again while travelling and without my notes and resources to do so. The other option, which I'm really praying will be the case, would mean that I would have to retake these modules next year. This would be better despite the fact that I will have to do these again on top of all my eight new modules for next year so I'll have to take ten exams next summer. Yes, this means more work plus the modules next year and supposed to be harder so please do pray for me.
Thank you so much for all your continued prayers. I really am blessed and give thanks to the Lord that there are people praying reinforcements into my life. Praise Jesus!
Well, right now we're staying in a friend's house in San Diego. He used to be my dad's line-up boss before I was born and it's been a blast being here. I was also incredibly blessed to be able to talk to some old friends over the phone and catch up with other random people. What an incredible blessing indeed!
All Glory be to God for He is Faithful in All things and is my strength in my weakness.
