I cannot stand how SLOW my internet is now.
While every one else is running away from Singtel Mio, my dad ran STRAIGHT INTO IT.
And don't say I didn't warn him, because I did.
but until I have time to change my plan to the fibre optic thing, I have to bear with it :(
I can't believe I haven't blogged in SO LONG.
Anyway, I've been quite busy.
1. I am a step closer to breathing again because we have finally found someone to share my workload :)
I'm actually super excited for that to happen.
I keep telling Q how I can't wait for November to come.
SO many people have been trying to give me suggestions on how to fill my time when November comes and I have fewer work hours
BUT I DON'T WANT TO FILL IT YET.
I want to rest and enjoy my freedom for a while first.
WHY is everyone expecting me to go on and on like a train without brakes :(
2. My grandpa passed away.
I'm okay.
I'm not extremely sad even though he is the first grandparent I have lost...
Mainly because he was bedridden and ill and he's in a much much better place now,
so there isn't anything to be sad about.
I miss him a bit but I'll see him again :)
3. I've rekindled my love for baking.
Which is awesome because I will have something to indulge in come November.
This evening I managed to bake a very successful batch of chocolate chip cookies :)
I thought I lost my touch because I always end up with burnt batches.
But it's also because I'm trying to do a thousand and one other things while baking.
So tonight, I concentrated on it and I didn't burn a single cookie :)
My dad ate one and said it was too sweet, which made me a bit sad
but then after that he ate another 10 more.
Mom says he's my secret fan.
I'm really glad the weekend is here :)
I love my job, but sometimes it feels like it sucks the life out of me.

This weekend has been phenomenal.
It has been a weekend of self-discovery, challenges, excitement and timely reminders.
This week is going to a relatively tough one..
And tomorrow is going to be a really challenging start to the week.
I have been dreading tomorrow for the past week
but during the weekend, God reminded me of His providence and His power.
I have seen how God has made impossible and awesome things happen.
And so I trust that He will carry me through tomorrow and the week.
Through Christ, ALL things are possible.
And because He lives, I can not only face tomorrow..
WITH GOD BY MY SIDE, WE WILL PWN IT.

Hazy
It's that time of the year again.
The air in Singapore is thicker because of the fires in on of our neighbouring countries.
Other than the actual haze we are experiencing,
my life is a little hazy at the moment too.
I have big decisions that I must make soon and they aren't easy.
I can't see what's ahead.
Too many uncertainties, too many possibilities.
Too many things to consider, too many sacrifices I'm not very willing to make.
I'm glad I have Q to constantly remind me to pray pray pray.
That's kind of all I can do now.
It's too scary to move without praying.
Maybe it's because I need to experience complete helplessness and total dependence on God.
Then maybe the haze isn't such a bad thing after all :)

Friday night
Friday night sessions are the worst.
I'm tired out from the entire week and just want to go home and shower and bum in bed...
Even on a lazy week like this week.
But every time I go, I have loads of fun and I get surprised by how amazing this child is.
I'm kind of sad that I would have to pass him on to someone else since I'm trying to free up my schedule.
Today when I was making milo for him, I swirled the milo a little to hard and some of it spilled out.
He immediately turned to me and said: 'che che Amelia, are you okay?'
And his father said just before the session, when they were out fetching his sister from the tuition center, the little boy kept insisting on going to the playground.
But the second his dad told him that I was coming over, he said: 'Then let's hurry up and go home!'
I'm SO going to miss this boy.

Food Obsessions
I have a bad habit.
I never ever know how to do things in moderation.
When I clean something, I have to clean it till it's as spotless as it can be.
When I find a new author I like, I will have to read every single book written by that author before moving on to another one.
When I decide I like a band/singer, I will listen to their album and their album ONLY.
But the worst ever thing I can never do in moderation is eat.
When I find a new snack I like, you can bet I'm having it every single day at every moment I can...
Sometimes even for breakfast, lunch and then dinner.
Like not too long ago, I had a serious obsession with sour cream and onion Pringles.
I had it for breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner.
TERRIBLE for the waistline and the flapjack arm wings.
And then during my time in Brisbane, I had the same type of obsession with Yoplait forme yogurt.
The vanilla flavor is SO YUMMY.
I had yogurt for breakfast,
yogurt topped with corn flakes for an added crunch for lunch,
and yogurt with fruit for dinner.
And that went on for as long as I could remember.
Of course I had other things some times..
But I could finish a large family size tub in a couple of days.
Until I got sick of it.
Of course I got sick of it.
And I also came back to Singapore and couldn't find that particular yogurt for a few months.
But I saw it again today when I was browsing around NTUC, deciding what else I could buy to top up my purchases to $50 so I get a $1 rebate on my parking (I'm such a cheapskate, I know.)
I think I just rekindled my obsession with yogurt. Oops.
I decided to play it safe and just buy two mini single serving tubs..
But I think you can guess what's at the top of my shopping list the next time I head to NTUC :P

GBF
Tonight, Q and I discussed my long held desire to have a gay best friend..
But we came to a conclusion that it isn't going to be possible because my GBF will try to steal Q away from me (seeing as how Q is quite the gay magnet.. heehee)..
oh well.
This is what happens when your BF is too hot ;)

Growth. Finally.
I feel like I'm growing a little each week.
Not fatter.
It's like a journey where I realize my weaknesses and take conscious steps to overcome them...
And in the process work toward being a better person.
I like this growth.
I think it's necessary.
I think it is long overdue.
I think I'm being cryptic.
I also think the durian mooncake from Goodwood Park Hotel is legen...
wait for it.....
dary!

Stomach flu second month in a row.
I have the stomach flu again.
My stomach has been hurting the whole day and it keeps getting worse.
I don't like how I'm sick so much now a days.
But I guess I've been quite tired lately so my body doesn't have enough energy to fight illnesses :(
Life hasn't been kind lately either
So this is kind of my low period.
But I know it'll pick up soon, because I'm going to change my way of life.
I'm almost 25.
Life is too short to pretend.
So if I like it, I'll embrace it.
If I hate it, I'll reject it.
I'm not going to pretend to like something/someone I don't like any more, just so I can be more accepted.
It takes too much effort and gives me too much pain.
Life can be a little simpler by being a little more autistic.
