A testimony of a boy...

Helu my beloved cls! This is Martin writing his very first blog post. hope it turns out well. =p
This post is about a boy, his prelim exam and his O level exam. The story went something lyk this...

Once upon a time, there was a boy. He studied pretty hard for his prelim exams. The results came out quite fine. However, his summary for his english paper was wrongly marked. words after the 138th word was cut off as exceeding the limit when the limit suppose to be 150 words. out of the 12 words that were wrongly cut off, there was a point that was there which could have given him one more mark. Or at least thats what he believed. He sent it back for re-checking, indicating the error that was made. However, when he got it back, there was a "no error" comment on the top right hand corner. The boy thought, "o well".... When he calculated the final mark, it was terrible. 64.444444444444444444444444444444444444444444. Another sigh from the boy. B4. what to do? So for his L1R5 - 13.

So there, when the boy put his choices for his 1st 3 months JC, He thought to himself, "Alright, its ACJC or SAJC. lovely, respectable Christian schools. CJC is for condemned SJI guys who never study for their Os and use CJC as their netting. All the idiots down there." So he put in the effort to check out ACJC, talk to the vice principal, and agreed with him that if he put ACJC (Arts) 1st choice, followed by ACJC (sci), he would allow the boy to switch over to sciences if his previous results proved clearly he was a science student, which the boy was. Amath A1, Emath A1, Physcis A1, Chemistry A1, Combined Humanities C6, Geography C5. So the boy wasnt afraid. With SAJC in mind too, His choices were 1st - ACJC(arts), 2nd - SAJC(sci), 3rd - ACJC(arts), 4th - CJC(sci)... He really wanted to get to ACJC. It was his dream.

When the postings came out, he was in Cambodia on a mission trip. He checked it out. CJC(sci). "ass-heage-eye-tea" he thought. I must score better for my Os to get out of there. Or i'll just be lyk my seniors, the ones i laughed at. Later on did he realised that his net pts (13-2=11) was just a pt away from entering ACJC (arts). "sway". If only i fought harder for that stupid summary. I must get out after Os results come out.

There he went along, with nothing much he could do but try to enjoy himself as much as he could for his first 3 months. Thats what everybody does right? 1st 3 months is all for play. So he went along. play play play...

After a few days at school, he realised his class was very unique, never like any class he had before. They were EXTREMELY quiet during lessons. they knew when was the time to study, when was the time to play. Bud they were a nice bunch of people.Shy initially, bud slowly opened up across time, some becoming unexpectedly weird. Overall, it was a very well-balanced and unique class. =p

So there, he enjoyed himself during that time. When the O level results came out, L1R5 - 9. There was a reali long thinking process 4 him. Whether to go according to wat he planned, or to stay in CJC. There were a list of reasons, but one of the most significant pts were his cls. To cut the long story short. He chose to stay in CJC with his lovely class called 1t14. =p

Yes, yes. u shld have guessed dat boy is me by now. My main pt of all of this rite, is this:

God is always in control. And he sees things from his super duper macro view. A view knowing the future. And His plan is always the best for u. Most of the time, its the opposite of wad u tink is best 4 urself. So just do ur best for As and leave the rest to God. He'll know exactly wad results are best 4 u. So look to God for strength when in need, for He is always by ur side. Pray to Him.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

May God be with u all. God loves you. SO DO I!! =p
