TO MASTER TO GROW TO SERVE.
Godly women of excellence with a heart of love.
once again, it's back to the values that mg taught me.
it's not something that mg girls will forget, especially after you're there for 10years. 10 DJWs, 10 founder's days and what not. all to remind me of God's unfailing love and faithfulness to us. remember how i would stand in the quadrangle at the age of 7, wondering what the hell devotions was all about. thinking that ms kon, mrs wong and whoeverthatdecidestogoupthere stand up there and talk gibberish every morning, doing nothing, but torturing by making me stand there early in the morning. but hey. when you dump me there in the morning now, standing at the quadrangle isnt that much of a torture. it's fun. it's where you start making friends (cos you get bored by the messages, since they get repeated after sometime). but devotions by now would make much more sense to me. and many times, they apply to life. they apply to what you'll face.
and here came psle. at least for me, i didnt think that it was important. i only knew that 200 would get me back to mg. and that was all i really needed. so yah. if you think about it, 200 aint that difficult. but you know what. for someone like me, who doesnt know the meaning of study, i just played my way away. not studying at all. i only lived on the tuition i had back then. there wasnt anything called do homework. it was just COPY HOMEWORK. yes. so how the hell did i make it back to mg like that? i really dont know. by God's grace, i have to admit. it's part of His plans for me. i had to go back to mg, because He has put friends there to guide me, because those 6years there wasnt enough for me to have believed that God existed.
and so sec1 (AIRCON IN CLASS), i thought i could still play my life away, staying back in school doing nothing. refusing to do homework. talking to friends. doing crazy things. therefore, i failed like EVERYTHING, other than english, chinese and math. oh. and maybe physics too. haha. other than that, no. i probably F9-ed everything. it says everything about my results. that means. chances of failing the year is just WAAAAAAY too high. and like. it's dumb to get retained in sec1. i dont think that actually happened before. but yes. i didnt wanna retain. but guess what? this crazy little girl didnt know the meaning of retain. hah. but amazingly, the teachers loved me enough (yeah right. i bribed/scared/blackmailed them. AS IF. haha), so i passed. like. 52%. no joke. I PASSED SEC1! promoted to sec2! WOOHOO. oh the love. sec2 was the turning point, where my friends started to change and stuff. trying to cheat in all ways to pass a test? haha. kidding. but yeah. it was like the best and the worst year. making your choices and what not. oh the love of physics fell in.
finally sec3 came and tehre was finally no more lit! hahah. OH THE JOY. hated lit like nuts, even though it was the best of all my humanities. tkam and r&j were such horrors to me. up till now, i havent finished the book. but i still have them, i think? but there was something big that happened. and honestly, i think i still fear it a little. it wasnt an easy time. neither was it the best year of my life. but yes. i finally allowed God to come into my life to take away my troubles. passed EOYs. promoted to sec4. nope, i didnt mug. but i had friends to keep me going every time i needed them to be there. i know i didnt do my best for Os, and i prayed that i would get the most this particular score, and God was faithful. He had plans for me. i did get what i wanted. got into first choice.
we may no have achieved the best results in our lives or whatsoever, neither did we get the picture of the most realistic world outside, but we were taught values that books cant teach you. some things can only be taught through action. so what if you can do differentiation well? so what if you can get full marks for your math? so what if you can do well for your essays? so what if you get straight A1s? if you dont master the basics of life, and then grow in it, how are you able to humble yourself down to serve others?
once a mg girl, always a mg girl. and i'm proud to be one.
you'll always see the difference in us.
a whole new world i'm still learning to accept. actually, i'm refusing. but yeah. thankful that i still have friends around to constantly remind me that God is good. even though results may not be the best, but if it's planned, i believe there will be a way. life hasnt been all that exciting, but there's always holidays where i have the time to meet mg people. the best of the best people. how much i love these people. they are the ones that God has placed in my life, to help me grow after mg has planted the seed in me.
so right now, i just wanna say thank you, Lord, for always walking next to me. forgiving me for all my wrongs. and never abandoning me when the world does.
