The Much Awaited News

The much awaited news that bound to come has finally arrived. I woke up to a call that excitedly exclaimed our placement's out. Hence, I called JPN Sarawak anxiously. Fifth call and it got through. My placement: SJK (C) Chung Hua Engkilili, Lubok Antu, Sarawak.


The first thing that disturbed me was not its location but rather the fact that it is a Chinese school. I was shocked to find out that I got posted to a Chinese school when I barely know how to converse in Mandarin, what's more to say to be able to read or write in Chinese! However, I am grateful that it is just a four hours drive from Kuching. Road accessible, electricity, water supply, phone line, all there. To add to a bonus point is that the school is located inside a town!


I headed out to JPN Sarawak to collect my placement letter. The attitude of the two officers who handed me the letter made my day worse. FRIENDLY is definitely not a word to describe them. I really felt like a dumb person that got thrown into a cage of vicious lions. All I could do during those 10 minutes was nodding and talking in a soft voice.



Anyhow, I guess I can't run from this fact, no matter how much I wanted to. I am just praying to God to guide me for what is best in my life and to give me the strength to get through this stage step by step. Oh how I miss my carefree childhood life now!
