YES! Finally after 6 months and $1100, I have completed my bike lessons and obtained for myself a 2B licence. I think God has been kind to let me pass the test on my first try despite many "opposition". haha. What I found very very interesting about the whole test was when all the testees were waiting for the results. We were all put in a classroom and then we will wait for the instructors to come in and call out numbers. And those numbers were the numbers given to us as a form of identification during the test. I doubt I can express in words the kind of anticipation and "gan-jiong-ness" that not just me, but everyone felt in that room. It's like the heart is going to pop out when the instructor comes in and you are just there wishing that your number won't be called because that will mean that you failed. It has been a long long time since I felt that pressure, yet excitement!!
As I sat down there, I can't help but imagine what it would be like when Christ comes back. Would I have that kind of joy and anticipation? I would hope to think so. Just that the reality is that the toil of this world and the pressure it brings often draws me away from living in such a manner. We get so caught up with living up to the standards of this world that we forget what it is we are living for. I am definitely guilty of that. This would be something I would need to constantly remind myself to do. Living with the end in mind.
And of cos, the relief that it brings when Christ comes back again would definitely be 1000x more "phew" compared to when I knew that I passed. :) And for the moment, I would need to put my bike dream aside until I have enough money to support it and until my grandma approves of it. haha.
