Myriad of Events

It's been almost a week since I posted up my latest entry. Practically, for the past few days I have been busy, cooped up with lots of school activities. Let's travel back in time a bit. 26th April. It was the second day the PTPI team had to go to Carey Island for Global Youth Service Day. Our aim for this excursion is to visit and to make a cultural report on the Mah Meri tribe, one of the ethnic group in Malaysia. To cut the story short, the experience of that day was fairly interesting and quite an eye opener because it was the first time in my life to actually communicate, visit and integrate into the Mah Meri culture. Overall, it was a hot, sticky, perspiring day with doses of good jolly fun. Shortly after the trip, I felt sick because of my stupid idea to stick my head out from the van, enjoying the cold splashes of rain water on my face. "The wrath of the flu" I would call it. It made me exhausted with my nose leaked like a loose tap. DRIP. DRIP. DRIP. SNIFF. The worse was the house tissue supply ran out. I skipped a day of school and slept for most hours of the day. The more I sleep, the more guilty I felt once awake. MId-Year Exams is less than 18 days from now and I have yet barely to start anything with constancy. The words from my mum saying that she trusted me so in my studies made me feel with much guilt. It was more like a promise I have made to her that I'll study hard this year and I think I have let her down. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I didn't do much for today. I didn't want to upset and disappoint her. Most importantly, it was me that I didn't want to disappoint but the situation flipped the coin. I want to make up for her and for me as well. I too made a promise for myself that I'll put my utmost dedication, commitment, devotion and effort in my studies and that's something I have yet to fulfill. So, tomorrow, I have to up my game and keep the promises to heart for the benefit of my mother and my future. I know I can do it, because I believe. :)
