Funny how there's so many things I want to do yet when I'm back at home, I'll just sit myself in front of the comp, rest my hand on the mouse and stare at the pretty colours on the monitor.

I want to go fishing! Hahaa. A classmate reminded me of the advantages when you're sitting in front of the pole waiting for something to take the bait. It's a time to pause and reflect, a time to spend time with Father, a time to sit down and enjoy the scenary.

He also gave his 2 cents on why people work and work. It's a good way to push all other things out of the mind. Problems, unanswerable questions, relationships with other people. In his words, it's a selfish way of escape from other things. Things which I feel have more worth than work. Though it gives satisfaction (sometimes), more often than not, it just takes you away from everything else. Of course, this can apply to anything which you decide to throw yourself fully into. This is my philosophy, do everything in moderation, which I learnt recently was the main philosophy of the Chinese as well. There is of course one thing, or rather one person, that you can always want more and more of, but that is because He is the one controlling how much you see of Him, and He won't let you have more than what you can take.

I've decided to try to do a little study on one of the books. It's part of a collection of books that the the author of How to Read the B calls the wisdom books. I've always been very interested in those books, especially this particular one. Just one phase and I think you'll know what it is: "vanities of vanities", or in my translation, "meaningless, meaningless" hahaa. Now you know why my thoughts and posts are swaying towards that area. It's actually a more hopeful book that it initially seems.

Thanks for those who told me they miss me. Hahaa, even if it weren't true, it still feels good nonetheless, lol. To be honest, I didn't think my disappearance would make any difference. Thanks to those who came to send me off, and thanks also to those who can't but sent their wishes!
