Gratitude

I realise now that when people say you shouldn't judge too soon, they are right.
A lot of times, I forget to look at the bigger picture and evaluate myself before I judge. There is outward attribution as all I do is to defend my self-centred self.

I've seen the kindness in Mr Soon, how he always tries his best to make me learn. Even though he scolds and gets irritated by me, I know he is doing it for my own good. It is heartwarming when he asks questions about whether I have eaten or not when he calls to remind me of our next lesson. I like it when we talk in the car, mainly about school, and I actually like to listen to his grandfather tales about the older Singapore.

I really disliked going for classes during the last few times when I was preparing for my first driving test, as he was very strict and said many awful things. After failing the test, I know that the problem is really with ME. I am not sure of what I am doing most of the time; it is good that I get it right, and just too bad when I don't.

I still do that now, and I really find it hard to remember roads. I am really inept at these kind of things. I am bad at estimation, siam-ing taxi uncles who pull stunts, reading traffic lights and so much more.

Therefore the point of this post is... Dia, its ok if you fail. Just DONT commit the same mistakes you did, at least do that much.

And of course, the other point is... Driving is just a small part of your life. There is so much more to it.

So even if you dislike losing, failure is fine and don't beat yourself up too much about it.

Now.. its time to study for the quizzes.... Jan im starving, and this place is freezing me.. so come soon...
