The additional job responsibilities I have now feels so overwhelming. Now more than ever I miss talking and consulting with T. A lot of the new areas I'm learning are his expertise and we would have been in very interesting discussions each night had we not broken up. I miss the company and the brains.

If it is really true that God orchestrates a master plan that is so perfect that no single human being is excluded, he must be a really really great and powerful (not to mention creative) being. I cannot help but wonder as I watch the drama unfolds at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics women's figure skating championships. The pressure Kim Yu-na goes through as everybody expects her to bag the gold. I'm not her biggest fan but she took that nerve-wracking rink after Mao Asada from Japan perfectly skated her SP. She was so calm and composed and nobody could ask more from her. My hats are off to her. I wish I have the same nerve of steel. Mao's suffered from enormous pressure and she has not executed a clean SP since early 2008 I think. The media speculated, analyzed and dissected her to understand what is going on in Mao's mind. She's eventually cried her frustrations out in public, but yesterday she was almost perfect. Then there is Joanne who lost her mother 2 days before the competition due to a heart attack. She also skated majestically but she couldn't hold her tears at the end of her routine. I was so touched and I wanted to hug her like a close friend. When you look at her puffy eyes, you can easily gauge how much she is mourning for the untimely lost. Years after this Olympics, I pity her because instead of honor and greatness, she will remember one of the saddest times. There's also Mikiti who my heart goes for her failure to execute in the 2006 Olympics. I want each of them to succeed but who? Who bags the actual physical gold? Who needs triumph the most? Who is worthy to bring the glory? Oh I wouldn't want to be in God's position.
