so i've toned down on blogging a fair bit...for 2 reasons i guess - there ain't much to talk about when u spend the entire day for 3 days straight in front of ur laptop surrounded by stacks of notes and do nothing but attempt to cough up a decent 12000 word thesis draft. and secondly, coz i've been writing so much already, the last thing i wanted to do was sound coherent and like i have it together on public space. haha

but yes, i am learning to count my blessings. proud to say i've been less stock market-ish! guess it's as simple as asking God for grace and strength and joy to face each day even though i'm inclined to groan when the alarm goes off and grunt when i roll over and see my laptop and messy table beckoning and grump when i'm stuck after many hours of working and re-working something i've already re-worked. heh thanks for asking, those of u who have! :)

and i think i'm finally convinced of the importance of incentives and intentionally injecting "perk-me-ups" each day. it really does help prevent dimishing returns from setting in. it's sneaky really coz when i stop for a break, i don't actually feel i need it. but when i return to work, i'm much faster. so that goes to show i need of a break tho i'm not always aware of it. so wed was dinner with farand, yday was cutting my hair (which didn't get done coz suddenly the rest of gombak decided they wanted 2 cut their hair too..so ended up having tea with the brother which was nice), and today was popping out for a bit to do a little bit of shopping. haha

so i'm gonna try keeping optimistic and focused on what's done. like patting myself on the back everytime i finish writing like section 2.1 or 2.2.1. afterall, i am taught to “be joyful always; to pray continually; to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will” for me (1 Ths 16-18). I am also taught not to be “anxious about anything but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, (to) present our requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” (Ph 4:6-7)
