Yikes its been awhile since i last posted! (Partial) insomnia keeps me awake at night. Hmm i wonder why. I blame it on my topsy-turvy sleeping patterns.
I wake up - noon (11.30 if i'm lucky, 2.30 if i'm not )
Wow. Its already Chinese New Year. I remember last year i totally missed it cos i had to go to uni for orientation.
My life is getting stuck in an ever continuous rut. But theres hope; the days are picking up and soon it'll be a new sem again.
I thrive on activity. I can't wait to see new friends, old friends, new stuff, and yes, even exams!
Because what holiday would be fun if there wasn't any exams to make it meaningful?
Tomoro i'm going back to Seremban for CNY. it'll be fun, if not at least giving me something to do. I mean, its all i can do to keep from wasting away. Janene is already showing signs of Uni life withdrawal. And so am i.
But i'm more experienced so its still ok, but its her first time. I'm already staving it off by working out and blogging. And my walk with God isn't that great recently. Resolutions are tough.
Hmm. I wonder how Russel will survive 5 days alone?
Damn i better charge my camera batteries. Don't want a replay of what happened last time.
The cookies are baked, the food is delish, but without God, it is meaningless.
1 The words of the Teacher, [a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless."
3 What does man gain from all his labor
at which he toils under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
"Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 There is no remembrance of men of old,
and even those who are yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow.
Wisdom Is Meaningless
12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men! 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.15 What is twisted cannot be straightened;
what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I thought to myself, "Look, I have grown and increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge." 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.
18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
the more knowledge, the more grief.
wow. deep.
God i'm coming back to you.to the source.
I've learnt that i can have it all, yet have nothing. I can be the most social, richest, popular person.
But a walk with God.
is the only thing. the only thing that matters.
