Patience.


I think its such a good virtue to have and I especially admire people who has it.
Cause I know very well, I don’t have much of that… how to produce patience ah?

Life have been giving me much Patience Tests these days!
Apart frm the chopping garlic incident… (previous post) haha~

Dad once promised a car after having a license.
But it turned out to be much arguments and disagreements.. plans made before didn’t turn out the way I was hopeful for. Of course im disappointed cos I expected a lot.

I know I gotta be patient, cause I know I’ll eventually get it, its just the matter of time..
Someone reminded me that having a car is a bonus, it’s a privilege and that I’m already the few lucky ones that parents pay fully for my driving lessons etc… sometimes we just need reminder like this ya?

I think I’m mature enough to understand my parents’ concerns. Their thoughts as parents. Perhaps, someday I’ll be in their position to fully understand whats on their mind. To feel insecure to have me drive on my own, wanting me to be more familiar with gradual practice.

Whats more? having a car isn't just the upfront cost, the maintence and all..
Its a want, not a need.

I learnt how to be more patient towards thoughts opposing mine.

Then, a week ago, My Aunt mentioned that she wanna go for lasik surgery and asked me if I was interested.
Of cos! So coincidentally the time she asked, I was having a hard time coping with my irritating contact lens that have been giving me much annoying experience.

So I happily mentioned to my parents. My mom who usually supports me in everything I do – she is cool abt it and have no doubts in her ‘yes’
For my dad, he’s always a safe-person, he asked me to check out the details but still, he agreed to it.

During family dinner last Friday, we discussed over the meal with my aunt, than she merely mentioned “its almost 0 risk but still, all operation comes with a risk”

…….And upon hearing that, Dad gave me an immediate ‘no’

I rudely answered him “if meant to be, even if I eat, I’ll be choked” yea, I can be really idiotic when im irritated =/ something which I gotta really reflect on.

And then, it came another disappointment.

I could have flared up another time, but I choose to recall the many times I flared yet didn’t get things work my way..
I talked nicely and told him that a lot have been through. Oh ya, thanks to Justin, I showed my dad the photo he posted on his blog ;p

It worked! He promised a confirm yes after my internship. Swayswayyyy anything happen, infection or something, I’ve got 9months before my uni starts in Feb2009. its a plan put to later date.

So this is all about being patient.
I’ll keep on reminding myself. I may not be patient by nature but I guess I’m getting better..

So perhaps i've got much to look forward to next yr?
Lasik & Car!
of course in the hope that my patience will not be put to more tests laaa..
