I was browsing through some friendster pages. I saw a couple of my old friends.
And I was thinking, what a different life I have, though our roots were so similar...
Typical malaysian-chinese smart girl, I would come from a middle-class family. My parents would have sent me to a good school. I would have gotten straight or almost straight A's for all my public examinations. I would have been sent to piano lessons, ballet lessons and lots of tuition. I would have been in the debating teams - I would have been the elocution and poetry representative for all languages, I would have been active in societies but not TOO active for fear compromising my commitement to academia....If I was christian, I would be involved in church and youth groups and school fellowships. But again, not too much. Studies first.
I would have been among the top students in school. I would have done medicine, pharmacy, or accounting. Or law, or engineering even.
Let's see:
TICK
Middle clas family
Piano/Ballet/ violin
Poetry and elocution[but only in english]
A's for exams
Societies
Church
- But I never did the whole tuition thing much.
- And studies never quite came first.
- I played a lot of sport[my beloved volleyball].
- Church came before anything else usually.
- I didn't do medicine or anything i listed above. i became a hippie muso.HAHA.
- I became sold out for the kingdom's cause.......THAT is the most important deviation from the path I would have been on.
God really changes your life when you surrender it to Him.
