Journey of a Dream

We made it to the finals of "Who Wants to be a Missionary?" Good job to all my team members - XinHui and Mei Yee. It began when I bought the book, "From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya" despite having financial constraints. So I thought, if I have the book I might as well make good use of it. As I spent laborious hours reading the book, I thought to myself that I might as well make notes out of it. As I spent more time on it, I realized I mustn't let my efforts go wasted. So the two hours at CHEC yielded results - we were chosen to represent the LU cluster! Then the next step was the prelim and semifinals. We met at Mid Valley to strategize our team. On the night before, all of us slept late as we searched for more general knowlede. General knowldege was simply... too general. We woke up early the next morning and met at the church lobby. We had a tie with another team. So we met again at night for another round of semifinals. And we made it!!! See, when I stepped out, I didn't know I could get this far.. but it is all so sweet. Whatever the outcome is, I am satisfied that we have made it thus far and knowing that we have done our best. But I must say, the one month travel to the Indochina had been really helpful to my geographical knowledge. If I hadn't read the Insight Guides in the bus while Amy and Jolene were sound sleeping, I probably wouldn't know the the Mekong River originates from China.
