Crossroads...
(Monday, December 14, 2009/1:08 AM)
For the first time in my tertiary tenure, I was actually excited to attend a optional talk and *gasp* during my holidays! It was a graduate studies talk by Keio Media Design, and for 2 hours, I was allured into an ideal world of upgrading my personal worth whilst pursuing my passion in the land where I love the most, Japan.
The crossroads in my life are approaching faster than I had expected. If I choose to throw aside everything comfortable in Singapore and walk through this door, 2011 will be the last year I'd spend in Singapore. After 2 years of graduate studies, if any good job opportunities spring up in Japan, I'd most likely stay put.
Pastor Kong's sermon on Sat convicted my heart cos' I was expecting the best situation out of the possibilities. I was asking the Keio professors if I'd be granted concurrent internship programs during my studies so that I can 'offset' the opportunity costs derived from spending 2 more years studying instead of working. QL-senpai spoke straight to me bluntly that "I was just too greedy", and yes I agree so...
Pastor's right. I have to walk through the door with faith. I can't expect God to show me the future blessings in stored for me so that I'd feel motivated to step up. Even if at the end of it all where there may possibly be no tangible rewards, ultimately it's a test of faith which God will be judging me with.
Kenneth was discussing about this with me on our way back home after service. Do I have the tenacity to follow after Abraham's shoes? Leaving my family and friends. Leaving my comfortable lifestyle. And yet, I know I won't be happy if I bow down to conformity and accept the 'Singapore Plan' for my life.
The crossroads are fast approaching... I shall make use of my upcoming SEP to evaluate where I stand. Am I matured enough? Am I independent enough? Is my faith strong enough? Unless a super good offer comes my way after graduation where I can still pursue my passion and interest i.e. Koei, I will need to make this life-altering decision less than 2 years from now.
Until then, I shall take my time to relax for this holidays. Caroling is coming up and it's kinda like a consolation for us peeps who aren't travelling overseas. Haha!
