"Thank God for being Merciful, Thank God for being Kind"
Rachel PASSED her driving test! Finally! Perhaps it was all our prayers after all. perhaps it was her own faith and will to make it happen this time. Perhaps the tester was a nice bloke. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...
Was quite anxious to know her driving test result. I know she has been really bothered by the previous failed attempts to get a license...on top of the fact that she funds her own driving lessons. She may not be from an extremely poor family, yet has the common sense (that may not be so 'common' afterall, considering today's extravagant youths) to want to keep her family expenses low. In short, she is responsible and thrifty. Perhaps, somebody up there sees some goodness in the virtue of 'Thrift' in this day and age...and said, "Yeah, why not ease this lass' burden by a bit?" So many "perhaps-es"...SO little Time.
Didn't call her, but went down to the driving centre to pick her up...after a film screening ending at 11. Lunch was at this place she recommended..."Ivin's" i think...possibly the best Peranakan food I've tasted so far. Buah Keluak, Nasi Kuning, some young papaya stew...was simple but delectable fare. Dropped her at home at 2:10...then made my way BACK to school...cos my Jap Film class was to begin at 2:15. Got in there to see the rest of the class intently gazing at the screen, where "Stray Dog" was playing.
Fortunately, Dr Lim had gone out to get a coffee, otherwise, I'd have been 'suaned' silly by her.
On another note, I've submitted my poems for the Golden Point Awards 2005...yesterday was the closing date (Yes...MY BIRTHDAY...and they give me that kinda stress). Had to go down to MICA (Ministry for the Information, Communication and the Arts) to send them in, as well as pay the registration fee of 15 bucks. And guess what? Met Dr Yeo Wei Wei, one of my Lit tutors there, submitting her own poetry! haha Nic was joking, saying it'd be quite something if my work won and not hers. Well, we'll just see...for now, its a fair game. Perhaps it is, isn't it?
