Recess week has really been good for me. :)

I enjoyed the early sleeping and early waking. :) I am considering not using my alarm clock anymore, for the reason of allowing myself to sleep enough. My Professor has been asking me to get some more sleep, as I process things very slowly in my mind.

I enjoyed the rest recess week gave to my body. Instead of needing to follow a tight schedule of class and events, for one week, there was some flexibility for me to choose to do things. Meeting friends, praying for people, researching on things I like, extended quiet moments, family time etc.

And I need to get going already. Giving tuition. So comfy here, reluctant to leave. So funny. I really like my lab, though I don't need to come here, I choose to. It doesn't feel like a stressful place, for some strange reason.

I was quite happy could play badminton with some of my lab people yesterday, people like Edwin, Chow Khoon, Wee Foong and Kwek Yan. I think I'm writing out their names as a soft copy reminder so that many many years down the road, I can map back my life. I hope to know these people more, really. :)

And my spidlings are out! I've been keeping an egg case, given to me by Evonne and James from the spider lab. After almost a month, they wiggled out of the egg case! Fully functional babies, they could jump, they could hang on a threadline. :) I feel like an excited, proud mummy, but I quickly let them go. I don't want the pain of seeing them die in my hands again. Mother nature, perhaps, is a much better mother, though stochastic events still do occur. Luckily the bottle was knocked over onto the floor, or else I wouldn't have witnessed this event!

Today's another holiday. It's Minchen's birthday too! :)
