Things you don't say to your wife

Came across this really funny song with whacky lyrics! Enjoy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK2OakMoW_c&feature=related

Hey honey have you gained some weight in your rear-end?
That dress you wear reminds me of my old girlfriend
And where'd you get those shoes? I think they're pretty lame
Would you stop talking 'cause I'm trying to watch the game

If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife

I planned a hunting trip next week on your birthday
I didn't ask you 'cause I knew it'd be OK
Go make some dinner while I watch this fishing show
I taped it over our old wedding video

If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife

Your cooking is OK but not like mother makes
The diamond in the ring I bought you is a fake
Your eyes look puffy dear, are you feeling ill?
Happy anniversary I bought you a treadmill

If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife
If your a man who doesn't want to get killed with a knife
These are the things you don't say to your wife

The project is over...

Finally, get a decent weekend to rest, relax and hang out with friends. Strangely, I hadn't had monday blues for a long long time. Reconciled it to the fact that I hadn't stopped working so no "contrast" to feel. But this weekend, I have Monday blues BIG TIME! Once I stopped working, I seem to hit a wall... seriously dread going back to work (and the horror memories). Worse, all the sad emo thoughts come crashing in. It just feels terrible...

Then I had to make a mistake over lunch in passing a comment about a friend and in so doing created an offense. How I hate it that my tongue isn't yet tamed. So much for watching my tongue. Yes I apologised, but then... somehow feel a lingering fault. May the Lord be our healer.

The 90+ hour weeks

What happens when you have bosses who are workaholics and need very little sleep? Your lifestyle gets changed as well.
I've always wondered how they survive with so little sleep, but slowly found out that this endurance is built over time!

So I guess I'll commemorate this 2 weeks with a nice entry in the blog. Some of the more interesting quotes from my fellow no-lifers and slave drivers:

1. "Sleep is transient, but glory is forever!" - Michael
2. On National Day - "... send this to me by 10pm, and you can continue to work on the remaining slides from 10pm to midnight" - Krishna
3. "What? Only 90+ hours last week? You must be slacking!" - Ming Teck

Sam from my Christian Fellowship group in Cambridge emailed us all and shared about his struggle in finishing the PhD, but along with that came the Godly reminder not to give up that God will not put us beyond what we can bear. How timely ya? Like another friend told me, 不经一番寒彻骨,哪得梅花扑鼻香!

Actually this period of extreme exhaustion is also for a good cause. At least I don't have the energy to feel emotionally down. Press on... crushed but not defeated!

最黑暗的星期

最近坏事一连串的来。在工作上碰到了钉子,范了一些错误。

但今天那个被委托的朋友终于与我会面了。虽然她说的话带着勉励和安慰,但是结局还是一样。努力用了3个月的时间让心中的伤口复原,但在短短的那几分钟,那伤口又被撕裂了。无论我做多少的心理准备都不够。

曾经我只想乘我还能掌握自己的时间表好好的珍惜我爱的人。我也知道那只是短暂的时期,因为我在不久后,我将失去那自由。就算我想,也不一定会有时间陪她。但我也想得太远了。如今我真的没办法控制自己的时间,但她也已近走了。

太迟了。连最后的一个告别也没有。

她自幼了。也是时候我学会手放开,原谅自己,把这感情的包袱放下。
