today i got caught in the rain! my blouse became transparent! GULP. then i got home and slept and got woken up by my MOTHER to go buy HOT DOG BREAD. in the rain AGAIN. faints. anyway, thats not important. the important aspect of this story is The Irritant at 7 11.
the story begins when i took my kitkat chunky from the shelf and then headed to the counter. while i was walking to the counter this auntie was heading to the counter from the opposite side. since there wasnt much space between the counter and the shelf, we had to stand BESIDE the first guy in the queue. only on opposite sides of him. anyway, even though i got there about 2 seconds before the auntie, i decided to let her go first out of the goodwill of my heart, and since she didnt seem like an irritant.
the first guy in the queue finished paying up and made his exit. before i could even smile at the auntie and allow her to walk forward, she BARGED forward, swinging her lump of a handbag around so as to block me from making MY way to the cashier. I TELL YOU. it is one thing to allow someone to be first, but it is a WHOLE DIFFERENT THING WHEN THEY ARE SO KIASU AND BARGE HERE AND THERE AND EVERYWHERE. i was so irritated i wanted to whack her with my huge pole of an umbrella. but that would be rude. so i just sprinkled her stupid skirt with it. and its not just the barging ok. it was the FACE. the look of EAGER BEAVER-NESS. somemore she went and inquired about all the newspapers in the world ok! honestly, paying 95cents for my bag of bread would have taken 1/7 of the time SHE took. GROAR.
anyway today i watched the a level people get their results! man, in 2 years i will be there (i think. i really pray and hope i don't get retained or sthg). probably at the time it will seem like the years flew by, but right now it feels like everyday is so ultra long. i was thinking abt something... i think. sometimes the results are really out of your hands. sometimes you do really badly though you studied, sometimes you do really well though you hardly did, but yet it is so clear how God's hand plays a part in all these situations, and how eventually you really see how He had it all planned out. sometimes at the time you just cry and cry, coz it seems like you've failed, you've disappointed yourself, your friends, your family, even God. but you know, sometimes it works out for the best. and sometimes, life isn't even all about studying hard. i'm sure isaac newton wasnt studying under the tree when he saw the apple drop. haha, in other words, there's much to be learnt from not studying.
which is not to say i shan't study. but just tt... i guess i have to try to focus during the times which i do, and in my spare time, perhaps i can spend more time doing worthwhile things. things like service, at home or in church or in tuition ministry, and spending more time with God. and just trust that in the end, my a level results will be just exactly as God intends them to be(O:
anyway, i've been talking to the nana and she managed to sum up what i think...
