the past few weeks had not been easy. praying hard that I would be admitted to NIE soon enough in order to escape from the coldness of the people. dejectedly, I was informed that most of those like me had been enrolled for the January intake, except those of extenuating circumstances. BUT... I did not receive any notification. no words could describe the waves of disappointment and misery that swept me. despite countless encouraging words from people around me, I really cant bear to continue on, with the hostility and backstabbing. Against all odds, my God has delivered me. today, I finally got the affirmatory reply that I am scheduled for the upcoming cohort of 2009. can you imagine my exuberance upon reading those words. indeed, no other words could have meant as much than seeing my name on the list. woah~ the sweet scent of liberation! I can almost savor it, just that I have yet to finalise it in black and white.
what's past sustains us. what's to come drives us on
