going around borders i found so many books that i don't mind reading. don't mind meaning probably at the end of the day i'd just forget about reading these books hahaha.

like mark haddon's new book. he's the author of "curious incident of the dog in the night time". oh. which derrick said was the perfect autistic book for the autistic me. or or "the logic of life". which is an economics book, written by the same author as "the undercover economist". or malcolm gladwell's "blink", jostein gaarder's "sophie's world".

haha don't bother reading that.

all this and i haven't even walked through the christian aisle.

but the problem is, i'm currently stuck in this book. stuck not because it has a 1000 over pages or that i'm determined to finish a dead boring book, but because seriously i don't mind reading it over and over and over again. i don't want to continue reading before i digest what i've read, but that won't do too. so i've decided to transfer what i've read to another stomach- here!

so here's quotes.

"love me, love them, and love it, and don't forget to love yourself."

"people can only love outside, and can only kiss outside, but Mister God can love you right inside, and Mister God can kiss you right inside, so its different."

"Mister God is different from us because he can finish things and we can't. I can't finish loving you because I shall be dead millions of years before I can finish, but Mister God can finish loving you, and so its not the same kind of love, is it?"

"Humanity in general had an infinite number of points of view, whereas Mister God had an infinite number of viewing points."

"It isn't the Devil in humanity that makes man a lonely creature, its his Godlikeness. It's the fullness of the Good that can't get out or can't find its proper 'other place' that makes for loneliness."

"The instructions weren't to be good and kind and loving, etc., and it therefore followed that you would be more like God. No! The whole point of being alive was to be like Mister God and then you couldn't help but be good and kind and loving, could you?"

"we simply had to admit that Mister God was quite empty. Not empty because they was truly nothing there, but empty because he accepted everything, because he wanted everything and did not reflect anything back!" (referring to how lights and colours work where the colour that we see an object is the colour that 'it doesn't want' and therefore the light of that colour reflects into our eyes")

and i'm not even half way through yet! pfff. before i figure out what each implies i even have to think about whether its worth figuring out in the first place. hurhurhur.

alright alright i know.


everytime i go online i pass by this place and think "oi you're post is wayy overdue. and that january post doesn't even count as a one!"you're not the only one k? so here goes.

haha. i koped the idea from xkcd but i thought of rating all the household chores. its more or less what i've been up to anw (i mean chores. not rating them)










well, tadaaa. maybe i shd add a "enjoyability factor" but you can more or less predict the enjoyability according to this graph. i realise there's a slight trend where effort is proportional to time taken, with cooking as an anomaly. i guess its bcos the more something takes, naturally the more effort required. and ironing is off. the. charts. altho it is the only chore where you can multi task and watch tv at the same time, but urrrggghh. or maybe its bcos i iron 2/3 batches of laundry in one go. hahahahaha. oh and if you haven't noticed, "cleaning my room" isn't even in this graph.





well mr zachary young went to auckland for missions for a month. he's going into his 2nd week i think. the farewell was neat enough. hahaha. and true to hope culture we stood in a circle and chat even before he went into immigration. we might as well be standing in the first floor of cuppage after service where he has to run off first. but i like it that way yea. its like it happens all the time. i'll probably see him even before i meet up some friends i've not met since jc (and i didn't have a big farewell for them). but its impolite to leave without saying goodbye i suppose.

and he's staying with the soh's! how cool is that. thinking of them always brings back memories of taiwan, tho right now with my memory failing i can't seem to put a finger on exactly when and where. its amazing how God works with connections. never would've thought i'd meet them again. the same probably goes for people around me right now. haha it pays to have good memory.
