Lift Up Your Eyes
Unreal

God feels so real in this unreal situation. I still can’t believed I achieved perfect score. I’m keeping myself light-headed for this week. I need some time to enjoy it and next week, I promised myself to come back down to Earth. But just for this short period of time, I would like to be among the clouds.

SAJC’s open house was kind of lame today. I saw the 4 people I totally didn’t want to see. What goes around comes around. I hope to get into SAJC’s HSP or NJC.

Anyway, I was incredibly touched when Mrs. Lim, my history teacher, gave me that loving hug. Now before you think she’s a 28 year old chic teacher (I wish), she’s actually in her 60’s and probably one of the strictest teachers around. But when she gave me that hug, I felt that motherly love I could’ve only dream of. Precious.

I’m incredibly proud of so many people. First off, I’m proud of Jerome, Baharath & Leroy for remaining planted in church though this difficult period of time. I’m proud of Ryan Foo, Gideon & Yuelong for proving that you don’t have to be in the top class to do exceedingly well. I’m proud of the top 7 4S2 students for showing that hard work pays off. Most importantly, I’m proud of Nicholas & Jordan for being so highly committed to both church & studies throughout the year. As Ivan put it, they are heroes.

And now, I’m taking off again into a place only God knows where. My legs are in the clouds and my head is lifted into the blue with arms outstretched. This feeling of success, this experience of motherly love that I hadn’t felt in a long time, this pride for inspiring people I personally admire. All these wrapped up into one is where I am at; this place that is so unreal.
