Watching Singapore Gaga in school. It's an amazing show capturing the different soundscapes of Singapore.
There was a scene of a lady in a wheelchair selling tissue paper, singing to attract customers. I smiled realising the song she was singing in Hokkien was about Jesus. I broke down when I heard what she had to say after. I replayed the segment and began to write down the subtitles.
"I've been selling tissues all day
Very few people buy my tissues
I'm tired, so I sing Jesus songs
When I sing, I am happy
I forget all my troubles"
I copied to this point and paused the video to answer a phone call from an unknown number.
It was the NUS Career Centre.
And if you know what I signed up for, you would know this was the call I really wanted to receive, but knew there was little hope of receiving.
I came back to the TV screen so happy and resumed the film.
"God miraculously provides for me."
