The One about results and prepping for Sydney

So as most of you know, and if u already didn't... this semester is my last semester in university pending me passing all my subjects this year. If so, i would graduate on the 15th of December and will officially be no longer a student... However, this semester, i faced one of the hardest subjects of my uni life mainly becoz i hate math and as an Information Systems undergraduate, a math subject was a core and compulsory subject... therefore, i was 'forced' to take Quantitative Methods 1, a year 1 commerce subject that was said to be easy and simple....

TOTALLY not easy and simple for a guy who never ever did well in A math in sec school and excelled in computing math only to stop needing to do math in poly year 2... so effectively, i have not been doing math for easily 3-4 years... and here i am, jumping straight into stats with people who have just come out of aussie high school fresh with the knowledge and formulae of math...

i struggled SO hard and really got thru the subject coz of friends in my class whom i made during the course of the semester and obviously God's grace... yesterday, my results came out and i managed to get a 65 for it... trust me, 65 is MORE than I deserve for it... and I thank God coz it's one of those, u know it's God coz it's impossible without Him, kinda things... and yeh, THANK THE LORD ALMIGHTY... i'm clear to graduate now... the only thing standing between me and my graduation are the days that lie in the middle. :)

Yayyyy! As for now, i'm leaving for Sydney with mum for a week's worth of holidaying. :) excited.... but also my heart is burdened by the things Hannah is going thru in singapore... she's real busy and feeling the strain of it... so i'm praying hard for her too. :) stay strong dear, know that your heavenly Father is the unlimited source of strength and you can always find comfort in His loving arms.... keep up the great work and work for God... in whatever you do, give thanks always.

See you guys soon!
