Patience

today's devotional message is peculiar enough. it is on patience and hand phones. so today, i made it a mental note to be more dainty when i use my phone, talking to the invisible communicant, in the public today. queer as it seems, i received so many phone calls today.

the first phone call was in the afternoon in the library. my dad called asking me to check the rate of flight tickets this december. this is a definite headache. i have no idea whether i can go back for the holiday or not. and stalling doesn't seem to be the best idea. but i booked the ticket from kch to johor already, on the 3rd of January, it is only RM40! single trip of course, and after all those miscellaneous fees it's approximately RM60.

then the next phone call was from ching wei, they went to get their passport today! wow!

then the next call is from dad again. further confirming my tickets.

well, i did sound kind of loud when i answered those calls and no, i did not really know whether other library users would hate me for being boisterous or not. all in all, i am lucky that my cell phone interceptions did not really cause any life or death consequences to anyone or anything today.

but, it was definitely an eye opener, that the smallest thing we did, conscious or subconscious, affects the people around us, to certain extend. however, i have to admit that many times, i ignored all these instincts and go on with what i wanted to do anyway. maybe it's time for character revamp?

all i know now is that animal tissue culture is ten times more difficult than how i imagined it to be and that i am not prepared for the quiz by 5pm later and yes, i bet the situation will be exactly like how it was in molecular test last time when i took the test without any revision. aiks... i is just a quiz right? and i blame the notes for being so bad at expressing itself. i blame the notes. seriously.

my conclusion is, i think the writer would wanted me to emphasize on the lesson patience more than whether i am using my cell phone properly today.

and for the record, i had two korens, two china chinese and another student i have no idea from which region sitting across my table in the short 4 hours i spent in the library today. i simply love their distinctive accents. ~ahbuhaseyong, or was it haseyong?~ intrigued.
