i have been

a really naughty girl this year so i don't think santa will give me anything nice. sadly.

i am holding my annual christmas party this year, but with a very much slimmed down christmas invite list. cut away the excesses, leaving the bare minimum which makes me worried that there really might be too much food around.

not forgetting last minute pang-seh queens and kings, whom have started appearing. zzz.

but the point is to have my best friends around, to see them again and make sure that we are connected once again for the year. will love to see all of them.

time to sleep. it's a long day ahead tmr.

i happened to ask

adriel a question over lunch at joel robuchon.

"Do you find yourself only wanting to meet people close to you and no one else?"

He looked at me and said, "Yes." I wondered aloud whether it's a sign of growing old, that you just do not have the energy to meet as many people as you would want to when you were say, 18 or something.

I am guessing it's the mere act of having to ask people out and making arranagements that makes one feel tired. with close friends, it's merely just an sms away 'hey want to eat?' or 'lunch?' or 'free?' one liners which the other party gets immediately and you know that a response will come swiftly enough.

or maybe i am just growing anti-social.

christmas is coming and once again, i find myself wanting to read the passage for the Road to Emmaus. Set my heart on fire as I read the Bibile, which lately I have not been doing so.

When it is time to be alone, it is time to pray.

Thank God for everything

I can't tell you what a HUGE sigh of relief I heaved when i got back my results. One grade was expected, the other... I WAS TERRIFIED. i really thought i did badly, but thank God once again that I didn't.

But God has a funny way of telling me that I cannot be arrogant and need to depend on Him. ONce again, i am still short of the gpa hurdle i need to cross to ensure my job is firmly secured. that means no more monkeying around with my thesis. sigh. owell. God just wants to make sure i keep studying hard for my next semester.

it was nice seeing mr k again after one week. and for some funny reason, i am feeling hungry despite having eaten a very large dinner. erps. my appetite has gotten bigger!!!

another day @ e bakery tmr... i fear morning shifts. I need to train my lazy brain to start memorizing orders. how to when i am so used to saving everything onto email? gahhh.
