IYAMHOM

It's good being back :)

And again, in point form:

1. Flight was tiring. Most of what I remember is "Chicken or Beef", and that the guy next to me didn't smell like the last time (he did slurp pretty loudly, though, I could hear even thru my headphones), and that for some reason people don't check which seats they're on but assume an empty seat is their seat. The joys of flying.. And American airports/airlines are sooo inefficient, for goodness sake. What's the point of having an automated check in system if half the people are going to need assistance with extra baggage/tickets etc and you only have two people manning the booth.

2. I can't really decide if roast duck and char siew go well with a Western dinner. I think they do (and my Dad certainly thinks so), but most people seem to think otherwise. Hmm.

3. I heart sleep. Sleep debt is the only debt I constantly look forward to repay.

4. Unwaxed dental floss is a lot more unwaxed than I thought.

And I guess most significantly, in conjunction with the release of most of my grades, I've been thinking about the semester. How God has been absolutely faithful, even when I wasn't. How I survived this semester, when in retrospect I've no idea how everything fell into place. There is something really amazing about grace, but I'll need to think/read up on that, and perhaps write about it soon especially in what I've learnt throughout semester.

Merry Christmas everyone :) Let's not lose the true meaning of Christmas behind busyness and friends and gifts. Christmas isn't about getting into the "mood" by artificially forcing it through trips to the mall and Santa's lap and Christmas songs playing all day -- it's about reflection on the greatest Gift of Love. Reflection through prayer, and time with God, and rest.
