my company's celebrating her 50th anniversary on 20th june. and guess what? i've been arrowed to sing the company song along with 4 others. just because i am part of the lim family. zzzzz... the song is not fantastic.. and it's written by another one of my cousins who's not working in this company, well at least not at the moment.
we went to a recording studio few weeks ago to get our voices recorded so that on the actual day, we just have to lip sync. not bad... and yesterday we had our first rehearsal practise. couldn't believe the one of the marketing staff wanted us to do hand actions for the song. i violently objected. no way am i gonna embarrass myself further on stage, wearing a beautiful gown. -.-" she should have known better. so anyway, no more hand actions. i suggested holding mikes. at least that went well with her.
suddenly i'm not looking forward to the dinner. i've to be there earlier to rehearse as well. sigh. i thought i could just turn up when the dinner started. oh well.. more updates of the dinner to come... and probably more on how embarrassed i'm gonna be on stage.
anyway, embarrassing moments aside, i can't wait for my next doctor's appointment next week too. i already cannot fit into some of my office clothing due to the growing tummy. it's probably not obvious yet, but since office clothing are usually tighter than casual clothing (apart from jeans), it really gets uncomfortable. nowadays i'm concerned with whether i am eating enough coz a lot of food turns me off. i've been off rice for a while and am in love with potatoes and bread. i'm also concerned with the types of food i am eating, whether i'm getting enough nutrients. p.s. being slightly underweight doesn't mean that i am malnourished, mind you.
i get so tired by 10 or 10.30, i've to turn in by then. temper's not too good too. tummy feels weird from time to time. can't tell hunger from cramps. feel cold easily... constipated... bloated...
i hope all these eases off by the end of the first trimester, which would be 11th july. exactly a month from now.
been reading a chapter of john a day. ok i missed yesterday because i was so tired. but i thought john 9 left a pretty deep impression. it takes abt blindness... physical blindness and spiritual blindness. it's sad, but i know many who're spiritually blind. i'm not talking abt non-christians here.... i'm talking abt believers. it's funny how some christians live their lives as though God does not exist, or talk about God all the time but their lives do not reflect the slightest bit of His character. worse, when you tell them off, they just nod, or reject your telling them off. i'm not talking about people who're struggling.. i'm talking abt people who turn a blind eye, literally. so what do we do with such people? i don't know.. pray i guess. sad. that's why having a receptive heart is so important... do not let your heart be hardened.
reflection is key......
