driving test - retake:
POSTED ON: June 28, 2011 @ 10:54 AM | 0 comments
Passssssed! And I want to thank God so so much for it. :) Couldn't have done it without Him, and without the prayers of my mates. Homegroup members, friends, and parents.
It was a nervous ride. The examiner wasn't so bad. Even had an incident that I dub funny when I was driving, haha. XD There was this part where I usually stop, but could also turn in if I was fast enough. Before I could press my brake, he said, "Go go go!" And when I made it, I heard him cheering, lol. I am glad that I didn't get a female examiner. Somehow, they seem more scary... *gets hit on the head*
Now I wouldn't have to skip classes for the test anymore, wouldn't have to pay the retake fee, and wouldn't have to schedule the driving lessons carefully so that they won't clash with any of my classes. Praise Thee!

*clash* *clash* The sound of events overlapping each other... sighh. At the end of last week, I was bracing myself for the hectic week that would arrive in a few days. Just by thinking about it, I get worked up and frustrated. From time to time, I do tell God about it, but I've never sat down and prayed.
I know I didn't, and am not setting a good example, but what I want to point out in this post is His peace that came to me after thinking about the hectic week again. Somehow, I just felt like there's nothing to be worried about, things will fall in their place. From days of thinking about how I
dreaded schedules, I came to a neutral (and almost positive) stance on this matter. It was definitely not done by me, but by Him.
Why I didn't look forward to this week was also because of my driving test that I planned a month back. I could only choose the last Monday and Tuesday of June to set my date. I made sure that I didn't touch Monday because my college has a majoring talk on that day, so I put it on Tues. Who knew, only near the beginning of that week that my college announced that the majoring talk lasts for 2 days.
I was down and frustrated. Driving lessons/test-planning has never been something enjoyable. It was horrid. Things always clashed, and now this one makes another clash. Cut the long story short, I wanted to attend a talk in the evening, so I was talking to God about how I would want my driving test to be in the morning. As the days drew near, lo and behold, my driving instructor called and said that I was
scheduled for the morning! Aka, highly possible that I would be able to make it for the talk!
God is good, all the time, and all the time, God is good. :)

Though it has nuts, it still satisfies my chocolate craving whenever I have one, and a packet of Nips ready. Did I mention that it was addictive?

Maybe my first official post here shouldn't be something that's slightly rough to swallow, but I can't really fit this into Twitter, so.
A few days ago, I was helping people purchase something. Most of the responsibility relied on me, and most of the work was also done by me. All they had to do was say, "I want that," and I'll have to help. Of course, I was the middle person who could connect them to the seller, so it wasn't a good thing to refuse to help just because I don't want to.
But it brought a lot of frustration on me, a lot of burdens. Sacrifices too. I never thought these would all follow the string behind me trying to help them out. There were also a few parts of where I wanted to get angry at them for asking me to do this, but I can't blame them, really. And refusing just won't cut it.
So? I grit my teeth and follow. Other than preparing myself beforehand for the frustrations to come when I agree to help people, I don't really know of any other solutions. :\

Hello again, blogspot.

After attempts by attempts of shifting my journal to this platform, I'm finally here... again. Don't know why, but when I look at blogspots by friends, (and this time, after looking at Ms. Photographer's blog), I usually feel this warmth that I don't feel when I look at my Livejournal. Well, now I am here again, to try and attain that specific "warmth."
Secondly, people somehow get 'intimidated' by Livejournal. People get in contact with me so easily when I have a blogspot, but noone leaves a "hi" when I continue writing on my Livejournal. o.o As if there's something horridly scary waiting at my LJ...
Yeah, I guess with this, people won't be so afraid to approach my blog anymore, haha.
I hope that I'll be able to be more expressive about my emotions and experiences this time round, and not only post chunks of knowledge that I've learned. I noticed that it gets dry pretty soon...
