What did I do this weekend?? Well, basically my whole weekend was spent getting together all my uni applications. 

I applied for all 3 unis, NTU, NUS and SMU. So it took a really long time to get everything done. I had hoped to finish by mid-day on Sat but it took longer than I had expected. So Im really sorry that i did not attend the PCM conference. 

While I was getting my application done, a thought just filled my mind. Why on earth am I wasting my time doing all these applications?? Logically speaking I dont have the slightest chance of getting into any of the unis. And if you are talking about percentage I probably have less than 1% chance. 

I guess the only thing that kept me from just giving up is hope. I can only hope and trust God.

Basically, this is the last weekend I could have done my application. It closes on 21st Feb. I would be in camp on that date and therefore i wont be able to send in my application. Somehow God just reminded me to check the Uni applications on Friday night when I came back home. And boy did I get a shock when I saw the dateline. 

So I rushed to get my applications done and thankfully they have all been finished and submitted (except the SMU one- Thanks a lot Gail!! I owe you Koi!). 

Then after church I went to NUS to submit my supporting documents, but alas all the doors were closed to the administrative building. Thankfully I had worked at NUS before and I checked the carpark entrance. By some Miracle the door wasnt closed properly and therefore the electronic lock didnt kick in. WOOO HOOO!!! 

So i went in submitted my documents and left. It was there that it hit me. Why I was still clinging on to some a chance to a hope that I might get a place in the Uni. I can only trust that God has a really really really big plan for me to get into the local unis orrrr Im just meant to go somewhere else. 

Romans 5:3-5

Not only so, but we^c also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

This is the verse that brought me through BMT. The same way I feel God is bringing me back to this verse again for my Uni applications.

The chances of me getting into any of the Unis is close to NIL. But hope and faith is all I have left! And even if I dont get in, I know there must be a better route for me to follow!

Thanks for reading if you did.

And have a nice day!
