I Will Take SATS
After much thought and analysis on the currency fluctuations pertaining to the American dollar (Heh. Figures. A currency back by trust is REALLY speculative), I have decided to give it a go now. If I can garauntee myself a place in a top university, then why not? Suddenly the need to study economics aboard pounded me. Perhaps it is needed. I’ll give a real go.
THEREFORE, will go borders (Thanks again, Christine) to get myself a compact book of 2007 SATs, and will slug it out day after day. My aim: To beat Min Min in SAT scores. Since my prediction is that she would be capable of achieving a whopping 2240, enough for any good universities in the States, then I might have a shot at a good university! Haha, simplistic in nature, but brilliant nevertheless!
Random Chatter, lesson learnt
Was suppose to meet my bro and Min for some mango ice the other day from office, so I took the North East Line from Harbour Front, supposedly to Dhoby Ghaut. Heh. OVERSLEPT. This just one of the myraid times I have bypassed the designated station for the day. *Sigh*
Anyway, on the way back, I ALMOST slept, if not for two rather garrulous 20 year old females chatting away in front of me. Their conversation was blanter, the content was intriguing. Their slang was American, they looks reveal their chinese identity. So what exactly were they talking about?
Nails. Shoes. recherche sling bag. A friend whose paranoid. However, right when I feel like slating their gestures, I thought twice: That is just what they are doing to their paranoid friend. Thus, I took the effort to abstain from allowing the nefarious comments about them that had instinctively creeped in to infest my brain. Evil me.
Moving on. BECAUSE of my actions to stop my inert urge of judgement, I got the privilege of listening to their explanation on why they are making such a scathing comment about their ‘friend’. She apparently calls them if she receives no reply from an sms, and rambers about whether they are avoiding her, etc. Apparently, this is suppose to happen ALL THE TIME. From their point of view, the comments they made seemed justified. However, I do not have the necessary viewpoint of the ‘friend’ in question, as well as the knowledge and records of the specified event to make a sound deduction of the situation. No, their conversation was not important.
I found out that sometimes my judgement of any particular situation is hampered by my judgements. Further analysis of situations has caused me to conclude that I am able to better acess any given situation with more exactitude, taking into account an an aggrandized range of perspectives. This in turn allows myself to take the proper actions necessary to alter my initial judgement to a more wholistic view (Who would have thought someone can have such a thought process by listening to such trival conversations?).
Moral of the story: Listen. Its the same with God. Listen. Wait patiently for his answers, and do not let your judgement regin. Let his will lead you. AND if ever you find that you do not understand his actions, ASK.
“How far should I step?”
“How high should I lift my legs?”
“Is this the correct direction?”
Jesus did say ‘ask and you’ll receive’, did he not? It do not just apply to relationships with God either. It is certainly much easier to understand the stance a person takes when you understand the idividual components that accumulate his frame of mind. Only then would you be better equipped to acess, help or interact with the person. Lesson learnt.
PS: Really did not mean to eavesdrop on the conversation. Their voices were just too……outstanding.
