I want...

To work with special kids. :-(

Unfortunately, Malaysia is still a developing nation and all they care about right now is to 'memajukan' Malaysia. Which means scholarships are offered for people to become doctors, engineers, accountants, economists, actuaries...

*Sigh*

With 12A1s I still can't get what I want.

Any millionaire out there willing to sponsor me for a few years overseas in Special Needs/Special Education(SE)?

Even if there are millionaires out there you guys probably won't care two hoots about special education. Country first, right? Why sponsor someone to do Special Education(SE) who probably will never be able to pay you back all you spent because SE is unlikely to bring in lots of money?

No, don't ask me to migrate. Developed countries have enough SE teachers. It's Malaysia that needs more.

Nevertheless, the Lord's will be done. If He wants me stuck in some mundane boring job like accountancy and law.. *please don't Lord!* then I'll do it..


Luke 22:41-43

41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.


At least I have the comfort of knowing that there'll be an angel to strengthen me if I have to go through what I don't want to go through.

As a Kiwanis teacher told me.. "Very wasted lah if your 12A1s doesn't get you a scholarship." She's quite right.. I studied hard in hope to get some things.. and to avoid some others.

But why am I still so selfishly thinking that this life I have is still my own?? Did I not give it up into the hands of One who knows best??

I did! =)

Isaiah 40:31

But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

Psalms 62:5

My soul, wait silently for God alone,

For my expectation is from Him.

Psalms 69:3

I am weary with my crying;
My throat is dry;
My eyes fail while I wait for my God.



God bless
