I have seen God's plan for me, so why worry?

I am thankful to God that I have been accepted to go on exchange in Japan starting from September 2010. Although all the rest of the people who applied to Waseda were accepted, I still feel a sense that it was God's grace to me to put me in one of them. I cannot imagine that I deserve this honour to go to Waseda University for exchange and given the opportunity to pursue the long awaiting dream. And now IT HAS COME TRUE!!!!!!!!

The application process for this exchange was not easy. Firstly, before we actually applied, we had to have our academic scores averaging higher than 70 and 75 for the language subjects that the the country you intend to go speaks. Maintaining high marks at university is not considered an easy thing, and I believe it was more so for me. Secondly, to apply, there were many forms to fill in and documents to prepare, for example, academic references from the professors who have taught you , a complete study plan, two exchange essays(one for the home univeristy and one for the host university which comes later on) and a clear financial plan with supported documets,..etc. All the processes were complicated and a lot of attention was needed and organising the documents were time consuming ,too, not to mention the limited time we were given to have all the correct and adequate documents ready. I remember we were only given one week to collect all the information needed for the second round of the application and it was in the midst of our busiest assignment and test periods.

Back to answering the title, why did I say I have seen God's plan for me? The reason is because of the wonderful location BSF(Bible Study Fellowship) women evening class I found. It is located just 1.6km away from my "hopefully" future dormitory. More to be amazed, there is only 1 women class in the entire Japan, and it is just located perhaps 10 minutes walk from my future dormitory.

A quick note about BSF, it is a wonderful Christian Ministry for everyone who is intersted in whether exploring or learning more abour Christianity. It is highly recommened to those who wants to study the bible in depth, and the bonus is that it is totally FREE.

To be honest, I was quite worried about whether I will be able to stay in the Waseda International Student Dormitory. However, after looking up the location of the women BSF class, I was convinced that it must be God's plan for me to apply to Waseda, study with BSF and I will be able to stay in the Waseda International Student Dormitory before I even knew about it. Everything just perfectly ties together and I just can't think if I didn't live in Shinjuku and instead living perhaps 1 hour away from BSF class, what more special plans God has installed for me. Knowing that God is perfect and loves me, plus knowing the location between my hopefully future dormitory is enough to be comforted, no matter what the result will be. At the end, things will still turn out perfectly because it was God choice for me.

My choice for the dormitory room is to be staying in a sharing room with 1 other person. I really had no idea and the final decision was made after consulting with my mother, and I was quite satisfied with the decision made.

Yes, so the conclusion is that I shall not worry anymore and patiently wait for the final result that is "hopefully"coming at the end of July.

School of International Liberal Studies Opening Ceremony

We had lunch at a ramen shop near our university before attending the ceremony. It's roast pork ramen with bamboo strips and pickled vegetables in super flavoured pork stock. What was the taste? It was yummy but too be honest, the soup was salty. It cost around 9.5 aussie dollars, and the great thing was to be able to ask for double sized noodle with no cost. Did I use my poor Japanese to order? No. Interestingly, there was a lunch ticket vending machine at the door for customers to order before seating. What you do is putting money into the machine and select the food you want, instantly a food ticket will be printed out. There was a special buttom to press at any time without putting any money to print off upsize noodle tickets. This is the famous Okuma Garden Hall at Waseda University. The opening ceremony was held here. Excited and looking happy to attend the ceremony! However, I was not supposed to dress like a tourist but was expected to wear formal clothes. Luckily you cann...

What is the time? it's time for Jesus

To be honest, I always struggle to keep up to my personal quiet time with God and I guess the reason might have been that I have not realised how important God is in my life. I have not understood the importance of spending time with Him and have not truly put God's words in my heart. God is always willing to spend time with me, but I am always reluctant to give my time to Him. A lot of times, I would rather spend time on facebook, browsing through random things and waste time doing nothing than talking to the God that loves me the most. How selfish is that? Now that I have realised leaving God is the most silly and dangerous thing to do and the consequence can be serious. God loves me so much that He died for me, suffered for me but why can't I love Him with my whole heart? I can't just go to Him when I need help, but I need to give every moment of my life to Him and include Him in everything I do. So next time if you ask me what time it is, I would know that it is the tim...
