Panic Mode

Panicking.

Hyperventilating.

Chilled

Driving test, the retest is tomorrow. I'm panicking. Sighs. I know I practised it soo many times today, but it doesn't seem enough. Side parking and the hill. Ahhh! Been driving since 2 something. Rest in between, a girl and this guy had their turns too. Dozed a bit, too tired. Drove home just now. Nothing beats speeding on the road, though it's not a good thing to do, risking people's lives somehow. Should vent it else where.

School was school, need I say more? Our Shangainese teacher, Ms Yang left us, her husband was transferred to Germany for this job. So yea. Mr. Tan, one of our school's veteran, semi-retired teacher came and he will be subsituting her and teach us till our exams in October. Double period chinese was not bad as I thought it'd be. Mr. Tan gave us this assignment to research and write up a report of some sort on the Sze Chuan Earthquake on the 12th of May. Will be graded on content and such. Hopefully I'd do well on it. He was sharing much about his thoughts on the earthquake, the politics in China and the students he taught. Something he said motivated me. "Search yourself. Find yourself. Dare to venture and be different. Maybe your cup of tea isn't studying. Maybe it's something else. Not everyone's cut out for school. You have your talents. You're raw. Find it and don't let anyone tell you eitherwise. You just need to persevere." Something like that, can't really remember. When I remember, I'd tell, heh. School has been just lots of rush work and new assignments. Demanding. Got few of my papers back, what the hell have I been doing those days when I took my exam? My english is a pathetic B+, 80 marks. And the science subjects.. few marks to borderline passing grade of 50. Pathetic to the capital P.

Tried to stay awake. By the 7th and 8th period, I was having this really bad headache and gastric some more (I did eat, but just had it) Slept and had dreams during the 8th period, so frustrated. Missed out on math period today. Rushed to get home. The usual chores and shower, then drove till nearly 7 something.

Going to play Spongebob Squarepants now. So ugh.

*fingers crossed, prayers lisped*

Hopefully, come tomorrow.. I'd passed the test. God willing.

Beyond Worthwhile

Worthwhile.

A word I've come to use more of late. *smiles*

When I thought cramps could get the better of me, when I thought I'd get so affected by surrounding emo-ness from those around and feeling helpless, when I thought gastric pain would knock the wind out of me (literally), when I thought back pain would hurt so bad that I just want to curl up in bed, when I thought school would be so suffocating tomorrow, when I thought things could get any bleaker, when I thought how could our lives be riddled and tied down with decisions and limitations..

You showed me the meaning of life in the form of a sweet, pesky, frisky, super "manja" 3 year old whom I love to bits and pieces.. for that, I thanked You.

Baby Dylan (okay, he's not so much of a baby anymore, sobs. But, well, I don't want him to GROW UP SO SOON!!) came over just now. He normally stays next door with his grandma until his parents finish work and come over for dinner. Lately, he had this strike about not coming over because we all not all home.. So yea. (The other day, sometime last week, he came over and my bro was in camp, I was out.. he kept asking where we were. He said, why ee and kuku not home. Why family not home. So he don't want to come over. Sweat.) His mum's my cousin, by the way. He and his funny antics and his "toddler" speech, how can I stay all uptight and stressed when I was given sticky honey kisses when I caught him in my arms (he was drinking honey from a bottle, no more milk bottle!! sobs, growing up..) and get called - ee (small aunt) so cutely eventhough that title is old. Heh! Entertained us with his little antics that makes one smile and sigh with content at the dining table. (Might just post about his funny lines one of these days) A few snapshots of him, being well, just him.. *smiles*

ee, look at me, no eyes. (My expression - O_O don't do that! proceeds to laugh)
See, I do monkey. Oo! Oo! (was laughing along with family)

Ee-po, ice-cweam cold cold. I want.

ee, look, new smile..

*Sighs with a smile*

Things like this just make life so WORTHWHILE! My day today was alright. Went to school with daddy to get my results. Then, got home and went to work with mum. Mum decided should just make me eat before going to work with her. Went to Auntie Corner (a family fave) and bumped into Aunt Anna. Endearing, encouraging and what not to be there, listening to them talk, being told off and what. Was frustrated, yes. But nothing of that now. Spent the whole day at the office, supposedly revising organic chemistry (which I don't remember half of it at all). It was so so so cold and was having really bad back pains and cramps. Tired. Played Spongebob Squarepants Collapse, one of those simple games, hehe. Got back and yea.. dinner which lifted my spirits. And not to mention texts from sheryl and him. *smiles*

Little things make me happy. Thank You, My Strength, for reminding me of why I'm still pushing to live this life. Thanks for giving your absentminded daughter a little nudge of a reminder once in awhile. Oh yea, it rained, the whole night.. though didn't get much sleep, it soothed. *smiles*

My left foot and his left foot! *grins*

As I told someone, I am content.. And I'd say once more, "Yes, I am." *smiles*
