Of Tuition and Change
I never thought I would say this, but tuition has become really very enjoyable. I actually stayed back for an extra 4 hours or so today with Shi Jin, Yunn Hwa and Lawrence. We did our addmath homework (3 A4 sheets full of past-year SPM "Fungsi" questions) while talking about this, that and everything else that remotely came into topic. I really enjoyed my time doing those questions while talking and talking away :)
Yunn Hwa told us something that struck us more heavily than the other topics did. It was about her biao mei (cousin). Apparently she's only 15 but is already married, to a 35 year old man to boot, *wince*. He got her pregnant. Her baby's about 7 months old now. The sad part is that she has a lot of potential in her. From what Yunn Hwa said, it sounded like she had everything: great looks, good grades and all that. Why in the world did she choose to throw it all away for some man old enough to be her uncle, I don't understand.
I cannot imagine being attracted to a man twice my age at all. The very thought is grotesque. If she'd done it with some handsome young punk, it would have been more understandable or something. The fact that the father of her baby is 35 years old puts her story in a much harsher, darker light.
If she knew Jesus... I don't think she would ever throw away her virginity like that.
Wanted to talk to mum about this, but decided not to in case she started on her no-boyfriends lecture again. That particular lecture always makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
Back to the topic: I really enjoy tuition nowadays. I have never had more fulfilling school-year-end holidays :) It feels a lot as though Mr. Rao with his obvious and intense dedication to his work, + all his talks about life and money and marrying (haha), has finally sort of seeped through to me.
I think I'm going through quite a positive phase of change, but I don't really dare to tell anybody in case it turns out that I'm not. Because if I don't change somehow, it won't be anybody's fault but mine and it would be pretty unbearable for other people to know, or think, that.
Kiasu girl I am.
Dear God, in times of doubt I always find myself turning to You for some help and guidance. This holidays (drat Mr. Lim for picking on plurals for "holidays"!! I'm mixing all my tenses up.) has been an educational one and I wonder if You are putting me through a time of real growing-up and change. I feel like I'm going to change alot, dear God, but I'm afraid I might do something to prevent it. Please help me do what is right and what is according to Your will. Help me change, Father, and guide me to do what is right. Thank You, for everything. In Jesus' most precious name, Amen.
K, tuition's first thing tomorrow, so ta' :)
