Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius

I love little falls of rain like the one that went on and on and on like the duracell bunny today, from the time that i reluctantly woke up at sevenish to silence my annoying alarm clock, only to curl back into my comfortable bed again and sleep till around nine (thank goodness for proximity to church), continuing on throughout the whole day till even now as i type this. Ok admittedly, parts of it were much more than little, but they were falls of rain nonetheless. And as Eponine sings, these falls of rain can hardly hurt me now (totally different contexts here, unlike her, i am not at the brink of death after having been shot at the barricades, but whatever the case Les Misèrables is not divinely inspired, so no issue with me doing this...)

Have been having a throat infection over the past few days, dunno how and exactly when it started, but anyways have been coughing out large balls of gooey and cloudy yellow phlegm *sick* at regular intervals, particularly so today. A lot of it is admittedly my fault, cos i haven't really been bothering to take care of the problem, hence my continued devouring of fried foods and ice cream over the past few days, and not resting my voice in the slightest... Thank God that on sat when i was leading MEET worship was able to sing without any of these vile substances unintentionally spewing out of my mouth or anything like that, and the Spirit was able to minister in spite of me...

Always good to meet up with old friends, so had a great time on sat, dinner with Tim and Renshao and later Jason. Really treasure these old friendships, that i find that are sometimes hard to build upon due to issues of time and space... One good thing about the holidays is that at least the spacial constraints are eliminated when lots of these people find their way back here during their own breaks. Makes me wonder though what might happen should i end up away later this year for so many months. Not being able to see so many people physically for so long time, having to rely upon emails and maybe phone calls, cos at this point i still intend to remain msn-less, even when i am there...

Have a handful of days to make sufficient sense of sep materials to put them all together by the deadline next wednesday. Thank God for people around whom i know can help out poor little blur me...

Realise that there has been a lot of stuff that i so-called should be doing, but have not been doing, in terms of service. That's something to pray about (incidentally, one of the stuff that i have not been doing enough of)...

Hoping that tutorial scheduling won't throw up any unnecessary and unnerving hiccups. Debs nearly threw me one. My timetable is already far from what i ideally would have had it look like ( i am very very fussy, btw), and the last thing i need would be huge spanners thrown in the works like more 8am slots, or the lack of a free day of other stuff like that.

Sigh, the rain has now stopped, there goes my ideal sleeping weather...

anyhoos, nitey...
