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!
