There's a hundred and one things that i can be frustrated about right now.

Damn right.

Work is a little of a killjoy lately. My boss says i'm still not very efficient and at the rate i'm going, i probably won't grad in 4 years. It did affect me, because he wasn't being mean when he said that, merely stating facts. I know i have something big on my hands, so i should really push through and make it happen. Cheer me on!

Weather has been terok! It's totally thrown off my game, whenever we're playing- in the evening or morning it has been pittering and pattering. Sigh, rain rain go away...

Wet courts- Dampered moods

Yikes its been a good long haul since my last post.
Just an update with what's going on:

1. I just changed cell group, officially in the adults ministry. No expectations or negative feelings. Just gonna go there an check out the scene. I only pray for God's leading and participation in the whole matter, it doesn't matter where i am, as long as He's there, i'll do ok.
2. So my research work's finally picked up. There's some tasty results, if only i had the energy and motivation to see it through. I have to juggle with many different kinds of experiments and the familiar uncertainty and doubts in my capabilities floats in and out sometimes. I try to handle so many things at once so nothing really gets moved along. Note to self: Don't be overambitious.
3. Chris gets back from Perth tomorrow! I'm excited at the thought of him returning home again. I thought i'd be too busy this week to notice he's gone, but i do do miss him so... I'm amazed at how much i've come to love this man and i thank God again and again for him.
4. I've finally been recovering from a long bout of flu. I hate being sick.
5. I now play Katherine Heigl in 27 dresses. 2 weddings, 2 weeks. Rehearsals... briefings.. candles.. colors.. dress codes.. U get the deal. Ah well, all in the name of friendship!

So that sums it for abit. Except now i'm gonna sing a little song i just made up. It's called "O little yellow butterfly" and it goes like this:

O little yellow butterfly by ME

O little yellow butterfly
Where did you come from
Why have you flown into my window
Into my bedroom you floated in

I tried to chase you out
armed with a magazine
gently pointing you into the direction of my bedroom window
trying not to smack you

But you continued floating about
You didn't want to leave
So i gave up and let you stay
As long as you don't ambush me while i sleep

O little yellow Butterfly
I might get used to you being around
I could leave you some fresh pollen everytime i'm out
Just try to steer clear of my mum when she cleans out my room
Insecticides my dear, will not be too kind to you

"Just tell him you love him.. Tell him you've loved him for 9 years, but you've been afraid to love, afraid of needing.
-Needing what?
Belonging to someone.."

from My Best Friend's Wedding

I'm afraid to need him because i might need him more than he needs me.

But it shouldn't matter,

because i love him.

Subject: UPGRADE FROM BOYFRIEND TO HUSBAND
Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower, gifts and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0. And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,Desperate Housewife

Re: UPGRADE FROM BOYFRIEND TO HUSBAND
Dear Desperate Housewife,

First keep in mind: Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and downloadTears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0. If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1. Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall anotherBoyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crashHusband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limitedmemory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Tasty Food 3.0 and Tongkat Ali 6.9.
Good Luck, IT Support

There's more to life than this.
I found it and along the way, i seem to have lost it.
The passion and desire for fullness and contentment, the longing to bring hope to others.
The need to be intimate with you, the confidence in the future and embracing the present.
I cannot verbalise the struggle to anyone, i don't have the words. It reaches the tip of my tongue and gets swallowed once more.
Only when I am alone with my thoughts, i find you there. You have always been there. And you already know it all.
Deal with my fears O Lord, deal with my inadequecies.
Grant me courage and mercy to stay in your presence, don't let me out of your sight.
I don't want to just settle, when I know you have the best for me.
So help me, to give my best, to you...

Have you ever felt like the world around you is so different and there's a whole other world inside of you?

Have you ever been in love and yet feel unsure of where the ride is taking you?

Have you ever talked, walked and laughed, but it all doesn't seem to add up?

Have you ever wished it would rain just for you, to take a long walk and clear your head?

Have you ever wondered if it would ever end up like you dreamt it, when you were once hopeful?

I want the dreams i dreamt, i want the passion of life, i need the power with the form, God i want you.

Had a fantastic game of tennis with Fang and Pierrick in the evening! The last time i played was late last year and I didn't enjoy that game at all. This time I got my rackets restringed and regripped, got smacking new balls, got Mr Yeoh to book the courts for moi (thanks KEN!) and we were off to a good start. We laughed and played the fool amidst the wonderful "POP"s of powderful swings, cheering Mr Federer as he took on our wild shots. I had forgotten how much i really loved the game. How much i missed the serves, the running, the pops. My back hand still sucks, but what the heck. We made a pact, to play weekly, so yay! Finally found tennis buds! I heart tennis!
While we were waiting for 199 at the NIE bus stop (beside the courts), we were invaded by swarms of mosquitos. It was disgusting! everyone at the bus stop were moving and swatting themselves, i could SEE the mosquitos flying around in the dark. Me and Fang ended up standing in the middle of the road to stay clear of the evil bloodsuckers. To all you NIE peeps out there, beware... Its a filthy breeding place.
We proceeded to dinner with LK and YY at Sakae. Hungry researchers = many coloured plates = super bloated and satisfyingly full. As usual we cannot get away from any discussion without gossiping about bosses, complaining about how menial and unimportant our research is, or how we will never be like MIT or CAMBRIDGE grads. Nobel prizes and awards are outta our reach. But i know deep down, we take pride in our work. The best thing in doing this, for me at least, is the company of fantastic lab mates who are humble, understanding, and truely enjoy the pursuit of knowledge. We've seen each other through many areas of our lives and in our work, encouraging one another. I couldn't ask for a more favorable working and learning enviroment, or better collegues. So.. I heart Labmates!
Aching legs and arms, off to a good nights rest, tonight, I dream of Wimbleton with Andy Roddick and Roger Federer. sigh*heart heart heart*

If I could have one thing now, at this very moment, what would it be?

I forgot what it was like.. to want.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
- The Principal in Billy Madison after Adam Sandler delivers a nonsensical but otherwise moving speech about the lost puppy.

"Everything in this room is eatable. Yes, i am eatable but that, children is called cannibelism and is frowned upon in most societies."
-Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Choc. Factory

"You don't even know how to read!-It's the Bible. You get credit for trying."
