Blessing in disguise

Am I lucky or what? I don't want to jinx myself like how I always do it before I play daidi by saying how I will win everyone's money but end up being the biggest loser, BUT I just feel the need to share with you my current emotions right now. Yes, RIGHT NOW!

The thing is, I feel that there's a guardian angel somewhere out there looking after me. SOMEONE, it may be the holy one or even Guan Ying Ma but honestly, I think my papa is the one. Let me share with you why I said so. One year ago, when I was still lonely and grouchy, I remembered praying to my father. I told him I was very tired of my job, I asked him to bless me with good career and better luck. A few weeks later, I received a confirmation letter from MOE stating that I was being accepted! Though I know that it meant that my hard work has been paid off, I still feel that my father was looking after me at that time.

I remembered being a lil too desperate at that time too. With my ex-colleagues constantly trying to set me up with this guy from my workplace, I felt so pressured. But again, I believed that everything will be planned for me and suddenly this guy named AH HENG appeared out of nowhere and asked me out. It was definitely a surprise and I let things take its own path. Soon after, I was waiting for my posting for contract teacher and I received news that I was posted to SJI. "WTH!" was the first thing on my mind. The school is far and inconvenient for me. But what a coincidence, des's uncle was teaching there. I must admit, I did feel a little less worried about teaching at this all-boys school and enjoyed my short stay there. This is because my travelling issue was soon resolved as des can send me to school every day.

I prayed to my father that mum's health will get better each day and recently I see life in mum when she goes for morning walk everyday with her new friend. She enjoys going to the market and never complain. She is definitely happier. I prayed that brother will have a successful career and he did get a promotion. Then I prayed that sister will be carrying a boy and voila, indeed she is! Is it pure coincidence or my prayers being answered?

Yesterday, I received my new posting for a short 5-weeks teaching assistantship. And I couldn't stop smiling when I saw my posting! I am posted to Kong Hwa Pri and this has been one the schools that I was wishing for. I remembered wondering to myself, "What will happen if I get another school which is far? Des is going back to Tekong in July and no one can give me a lift. I will have to cab if there's no other choice." But I must say I am super lucky, I am posted to this school which is right outside my house! There's no need to worry anymore. Kong Hwa is a well-cultured school with nice principal (I heard) and well-mannered kids (I heard) and I really look forward to teaching at this school!

SO, in conclusion, don't you think my father has been listening to my prayers all this while? Bro once mentioned that he dreamed of father one night and asked him why he didn't reincarnate. He answered saying that he wants to look after us. I'm touched and I hope it's really true.

爸爸，我很想你。如果你看得到，我想跟你说，我们过得很好，也很开心。希望你也一样。
