Isaiah 55:9

I had a racist thought. Very terrible. Shall confess over here.

In the past 2 years, I had considered teaching at the MOE international school at Hk. Primary reason was because I have grown to love HK. I was even seeing HK as the new Australia. The secondary reason was that a change in environment could be refreshing.

But as always, I know my plans are not God's plans for me so I dont really plan very much except to keep the thought at the back of my mind. Moreover, I have to be teaching if I want the masters education to be free. With the one year bond upon graduation 2 years later, I thought I had to be around for at least 3 years.

In my recent trip, I finally got a chance to visit BMCF and spoke to Ming. He used to be an MOE teacher  and he mentioned that I can serve my bond while at the MOE international school at Hk. I got excited because that means one year earlier to going if I do go. Upon learning that the travel mate is teaching in Canadian International School, he mentioned that the Canadian International School is located just beside the MOE HK school. In the big big land of HK, it is really an amazing fact isn't it? The travel mate also got excited. Not that we never talked about working at HK before since we both love HK much. Then the plan seemed more real. Like it might actually happen. And the money we will be able to save being able to house together.

Then, today I thought about what I had to wear while working in HK. I honestly give thanks every morning that I am a PE teacher and all it takes is 10 mins to get ready for work. I thought about my dressing over there, wondering if I will be teaching only the core subjects or whether I can go as a PE teacher, but the number of PE teachers a school needs is limited then that was when a racist kinda stereotype came to mind. Many PE teachers are Malays. Keke. They won't want to go to HK right? :p

But again, like I said, I don't know what God's plans are. I guess I will know closer to the time, as always.

And I am also reminded to seriously pray and commit a plan in the area of ministry to God, knowing that He will lead the way if the time is right.
