it's been 6 days...

It's already 6 days that I've arrived in Bournemouth. I did a homestay for the first 3 nights and was staying at poole which is like 20-30min bus ride away from bournemouth. Poole is as lovely and beautiful as Bournemouth. You can see from the pictures online :). It's been great so far, meeting new people everyday, thou' its really just hi, where are you from, what course you taking and then that's it. Met like tons of people from many places but not like i remember them all. It's great fun thou'.
Oh one thing i hadn't mention is how interesting God is. On my way to the UK, i did a transit at dubai. I had like 5hr of transit time and I was like planning to read a book during that time. But God had a different plan for me. When I alight the Singapore plane at dubai, the lady sitting in front of me turn and just smile, i smile back. We were waiting to alight the plane. After alighting, getting check in again etc. I decided to find a place that i can crash for the next 3.30hrs (the whole alighting, walking in the airport and checking in took quite a bit of time)..anyway, i went to the area near my gate hoping to find like a place to sit, get a coffee and rest. I did, I ended up at costa, order food and sat down. Then I saw right across the table is the lady on the same Singapore flight as me. Well I just kept that thought and didn't do anything. Not until a family with kids and lots of stuff came near me trying to look for a seat..they found a 2 sitter seat and the mother sat down trying to feed the baby, 2 other kids just sat at the floor behind me..i have no idea what came over me (i believe it's the holy spirit) I went to the lady and ask if i could sit with her and gave my seats to the 2 kid. And so I did, she was nice to agree. I reminded her we were on the same flight and then we had small chats. It was during the small chats we realise that both of us are christian and we started talking about christian stuff. We shared stories and had a bond there, just right at the airport in dubai costa. It was like having a 2 person cell group. It was amazing. What was the interesting part is the enlightenment I got at the end of this whole incident. It was God sending her to remind me not to sway from my path. I had told God so many times that if production is the place he want me to be then equip me with the skills. And I've told myself that I want to make shows giving the right teachings, right moral. I want to be able to produce shows that touch the hearts of people. And I pray that I will not sway from that path. It's always easy to sway from paths like this. When you have to make shows that earns money and shows that most people want to watch. Well all I can do is pray. Pray that I will be constantly be reminded of my path.
I'm going to start church hunting this weekend. Will be joining 2 christian union mates to their church which is like 7-10min walk from my house. I've seen like one church also 7-10min walk from my place but that church has a different set of believes. Oh and a challenging part of my accommodation, right opposite and I mean just right in front of my window is a Jehovah's witness church. I don't think any of my housemates are christian but that's fine. They are really nice people. Well it's 6 days and I have 3 years ahead of me so it's still a long way to go. Gonna sleep now..it's freaking late.

从决定到离开的两个月

开始新的博客已经两个月啦,时间真的过的很快。而我也已经离开新加坡到英国开创一个新的旅程。
这个两个月里有好多的思考我都好想写在博客里, 但是都不知如何下笔。本想在离开新加坡前写下最后的一篇的但始终法静下心,没法整理好思绪。
一个人搭上飞机后也有很多的感触,就在这很长的时间把想写的都写下来。
之前一直期盼着可以出国生造一直重复的问天父我之后的道路是什么。等待了3年天父终于回答了。我想在着3年中的等待是他想要预备我以后的道路。3年中我学习到的不只有等待的功课也有在工作上遇到种种的事情时依靠上帝的所赐的力量。从工作上所学习的将是我到英国学习最好的装备。
而在要离开新加坡的那段期间,尽量的去安排和不同朋友见面。曾经因为得不到回应而想要放弃。想到曾经是很要好的朋友现在想要见面却如此的困难就觉得很悲伤。因为大家长大后各自有了新的朋友和事业渐渐的就很少联络,渐渐的就越来越疏远,曾经的好友已成为普通朋友。想到这点又感伤起来。可是上帝却借此机会让我和一群很久不见的朋友重逢,重新的联络感情,彼此分享最近的生活。让我们都回想曾经还是学生的我们。我想有些事情从不同的角度去看会得到不同的想法吧。
这次出国也想更深的去感受神的同在,更加依靠他的力量去克服每一个难关。我会好好加油的,在新加坡的朋友们也一起为我加油吧。
