Words of a Stranger

Waxing lyrical of the crappy details of my life and my views with a healthy dose of cynicism, sarcasm and everything you like about non-wholesome movies.

Try: 10% to 60% chance of success. Don't Try: 0% chance.

Today was a miracle.

I never stopped believing in God; at least, for many years now, I believed in God even if I didn't believe in me.

I believe in me again.

I was previously shut out from S+S, after I was late in accepting a role. I thought I had to move on and deal. This afternoon I got a call asking me to play a larger role in the same play.

MN, a new friend and my director for the school play, told me that certain requests for props (i.e.: 3 broken laptops) had been refused. A group member from one of my meetings today hung out at Sim Lim square with me, helping me to ask around the shops for broken laptops, which none of them apparently have, though a customer at one of the shops took my namecard and another store assistant noted down my number. With four days left before the show, I thought we were never gonna make it.

Then the lady who took my namecard called and gave me her address. When I got there, there were 2 laptops waiting for me. Two-thirds of our major requirement. And MN's in negotiation for a third.

And now, come to think of it, we were doing blocking in the performance area rather than classroom originally booked for us. I didn't think of it then, but... that was really fortunate.

Wow.

And a lot of these things might not have happened if I had not done some of the things I didn't want to do. It's amazing to think about it, but it's scary, too.

Opportunities really are everywhere. And God uses a reward system.

If that's the case, I have work to do.
