How Will You Bloom?

   Save your breath. I'll tell you myself.    Alhamdulillah, I got 8As and 1B+. You might think that its not much coming from a student who'd spent her 5 years in seri puteri. To that, I say 'meh, go away'. Some might cry over a near miss, while some would feel tremendously blessed, really! And although I was beyond grateful that day, there's a reason to why it took me a month to finally be able to tell people about it with a genuine smile.    I remember on the way to school during results day, I told babak; "Akak aim 5 je," aaand yeah, I purposely left the statement hanging, as an attempt to nudge a reply from him. Babak smiled, and only reminded me to thank Allah if I managed received more. (Alhamdulillah!)  I did, and I was somewhat relieved I didn't receive more than that. Because 1.

Well, it was the week when most scholarships had their deadlines,(ofc, like clockwork!) it was also when I realized I wasn't eligible for any routes I had in mind, and most of my friends are already advancing in life, however and whatsoever! Truth be told, despite the calm (read: blur) exterior, I'm most definitely an impatient person Ya Allah, sangat! Ofc, being patient doesn't only apply at handling anger, It also plays along the lines of being patient with the flow of time, meaning, not rushing into things due to a burst of impulse If acting on impulse is a norm for teens , then I guess the only way to maturity is to finally get rid of that.
