Finally! I went through several YEP (youth expedition prog) applications and this one got through! It's similar to YEP, just that it's not under YEP (YEP = getting huge subsidies from National Arts Council!)

SUCCESS. VICTORY. YAY!!!

VietnamJUMP is organized by a group of Vietnamese who interviewed me few days ago. They told me that I was the first applicant and they sounded pretty impressed by my prompt application. Haha. The interview was a few days ago actually, just that I didn't mention it and I still don't think I should really announce that I'M HEADING TO VIETNAM ON MAY 10TH-24TH!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Wahahahahaha. Well, due to building fund, it was a very big concern whether I could finance my way through. That's why I intend to keep it under wraps before telling most people. But i don't think (I HOPE NOT) it's going to be a problem, since they allowed me to defer payment until after I come back to Singapore. They are so nice to allow me to do that!

Of course, all these are verbal agreements. So along the way if anything changes, like suddenly there's a payment deadline, then I'd have no choice but to back out. Most important is still to first honor my covenant with God. :) Honor God & God will honor us. Unless going to Vietnam isn't part of His will for me, I'm sure He will grant this desire of my heart. :)

Well, some team members are extending their stay in Vietnam to tour and sight-see. Would love to do that and go to Cambodia too! It's just next door. Sigh. When I experience a financial blessing, then maybe I'll do that...

It will simply be a blessing to just visit Vietnam and do something nice there for the poor and the kids of the rural village! Anything beyond that will be a blessing from Him. I'm praying hard!
