The Bus Is My Other Car.

Taiwanese

Took the M5 exam today. As it was my first exam after A levels that deserved seriously mugging, I was quite tired from the brain-drain, well, after what the army has done to my brain... *pauses for a moment and wonders where's my brain?* Fortunately, I passed. Very delighted to meet my wonderful junior Shuhan for lunch, who brightened up my otherwise mundane day with Taiwanese egg tart and her never-ending rantings about working life!

On Monday I went with Joshua Pang to SMU's 'How to use the library in 60 minutes' workshop. Was a useful workshop that pre-empted the amount of research we have to do in university, bleah. And it brings me to the thought clouding the minds of those who have just ORD and awaiting university entry - worries about the future.

I guess the turning point in my life came at church last Sunday. Ditto to Jeremy Koh, whom I guess, was also vexed over the lack of direction in life after ORD. Rev Stanely preached about discipleship, about disappointing behaviour by Christians outside church. It hit me particularly hard because over the years, I have become more self-centered, justifying my secular lifestyle by the unsatisfactory behaviour of other followers. Using swear words frequently made me feel like a rotten apple. I refuse to commit my life to the Lord and let God take the front seat, ruminating about the 'what ifs' in life and whether I myself have tried my best to steer my fortune. Re-dedicating my faith and committing my life to the Lord made me feel more confident about coping with the uncertainties in my life.
