'It is with a heavy heart to announce that you are not ready for the J2 syllabus and thus are not promoted nor advanced to JC2.'

In other words,

YOU'RE RETAINED.

Well, pretty much saw this coming, but it still hurts. Before that i was still holding on to the possibility that i may advance, but poof, it vanished into thin air.

It sucks to retain, everyone knows that. You stay for one more year, you get mocked at (you do, right?), and you're constantly under close monitoring.

But hey, maybe it isnt that bad afterall. My subject combi this year is pure madness. It could be God's plan for something better. Yes, i want to believe it is.

Went for Global Leadership Summit for the past 2 days. Really useful yet entertaining talks.
The most memorable one gotta be 'The land in between'.

Note: there will be some biblical references, you may skip this.

So, when Moses led the Israelite out of Egypt and into the Promised Land, they had to go through years in the desert between. In the desert, the land is infertile for agriculture. However, it is fertile for complaints, for rebellion. You can refer to Exodus.

In our lives we are bound to encounter times of transformation, of trail. In times like these, we are bound to complain, wanting to give up. But what lies ahead is the Promised Land, times of triumph, times of victories. This period of trail is the period for us to learn to let go, let God, and trust that he has the best plan.

Timely message! i can complain and whine how God denied me my chance to advance, get depressed and all OR i can trust in the Lord and pull through!

thinking of taking up H2 math, that means revisiting A Math.

Anyway, some songs to recommend!

1. THE WHOLE FREAKING HOOT ALBUM by Girl's Generation! :D
if not: Mistake, Hoot and Wake Up.

2. Underoath - In Division.

till next time.
