July and August 2010 - a big change

I had not plan to blog until after 18th September as I know I have been and will be going through an emotional roller coaster these 2 months. But then blogging was suppose to help me go through times like this.

Starting mid July, I 'sat' through 4th semester MPharm and 9th semester EOS in medic.Having Christ with me this time round has made it much calmer. The family prayed for both the kids and praise the Lord, His will allows them to get through both the EOS.

The medic exam was a tight fit thing because within 48 hours, exam ends, results was announced, packing was done in S'ban, and moved to Batu Pahat. God knew the delimna we would have so as we enter the S'ban house, E sms the good news (otherwise it would mean another 6 months in Sban which means all plans had to be changed!)

At the same time, home repairs was done the same day we were helping E to bring his stuff to his new place which he will be sharing with 3 good friends for the next 6 months.The repairs wasn't done well but at least it will do for the time being.

Batu Pahat house is newer but his aircond could not be fixed untill yesterday.Therefore he should be more comfortable and happier this time round. Right now, apart from his normal anxiety, PTL, he is well settled . One burden less for this mum.

Back to Au, after the results were out, it was a few days of nail biting before the CAS letter came from Glasgow. Next was the application of the visa. Minor hitches but with His help, all the appropriate forms were filled and documents were prepared After a half day (relatively short time compared to what others have to under go) all the documents were handed in. Now for another prayer session for the application to be approved and be on time for the flight.

While all these was going on, my physical health hasn't been too cooperative either. The only thing it prove was that my complains is not due to idleness but real!

Emotional, for sure, endless thoughts and feelings has been going on. Happy, grateful, concerned, missing them, learning to let go, rationalising, being practical like a mother, etc etc. At the same time need to put in a conscious effort to fill my time and change my lifestyle after she leave.So that I won't be a burden to them.It is from 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 and then 1 in October Sigh!

Life is full of changes and challenges. It is such a relief when some (not all) of the plans go well while some (not all) go bad while others are so-so.
