A week ago, I was complaining to my older brother about my stress level and that I was sick and all. Instead of the usual humouring, he just gave me a link, to go and listen to worship. Diligently, I did, and I felt better almost instanteously. My older brother doesn't know that my stressful days are kinda over, but he spoke to me on msn this afternoon again.

"Go take a look at Worship last week, it was great."

There may have been times where I wished he was all-so-big-brother-ish towards me. But I'm grateful for the times when he is. He does it in a quiet and subtle way. He does it silently, not through words or actions. But like me, he craves for people to just read his mind and heart, and understand where he is coming from.

I almost lost my phone today. Was taking a bus home from Kensington after dinner at Sushi Tengoku with Keng Loon and Melody. I put my phone in the pocket of my jacket, not the usual place where I put my phone. I must have been absent-mindedly playing with it on the bus cause I was kinda distracted and thinking about certain things. The moment I stepped down from the bus, I felt that something was wrong; The weight didn't feel right. Went back onto the bus again and I found my phone! Thank God. Maybe it was Him, maybe it was me and my alertness, but I'm still thanking Him for it.

This made me realise how important my phone is.
1) It's my only mode of communication, and my link to everyone.
2) All information (i.e. numbers) are stored in it, and I do not have a backup copy.
3) It's my alarm clock. Without it, I wouldn't have woken up for my 9am classes, 10am services and examinations.

Now, that gives me enough reason to buy myself a multi-snooze alarm clock when I return to Sydney next year. And have a backup copy of all my friends numbers..

Spent the past 2 days sleeping, watching movies and streaming. Watched finish "Fated to Love You" yesterday. Watched Blood Diamond today. Was watching Sweeney Todd just now before I fell asleep. Was so tired this morning that when I woke up at 11am, ate brunch and fell asleep on my bed immediately. Did not even bother to close the door or switch off any of the lights in my room.

Been discussing and planning my activities when I'm back in Singapore! Woohoo. :)

At the top of the list as always is my favourite Cod Fish dish. Then, similar to last year's routine, is a date with the hairdresser the next day I return, a date with the dentist and a facial appointment. I have yet to cut my hair since my birthday. Now its not only long, its frizzy and dry and unhealthy! I need a new colour too. Choose: Dye or Highlight? Cause I can only choose one. No $$ ! Oh yes, Eyebrows too. And maybe the nails... :) Its the feel good factor coming in again. I cannot let anyone see me in my crappy self.

Other food lining up for me is Kwey Chap, Shabu Shabu, Supper, my dosage of Prata with my YBro, Mr Bean ice cream, Haagen Dazs, etc....

Okay, back to Econometrics. I need to finish at least one chapter. :)
