Today, not feeling well.
I remember something told by an uncle at my workplace.
"You shouldn't blame the weather for getting sick, blame yourself for not ready for the weather."
I will remember that. To be more ready next time. hehe.
Thanks God that I'm not sick on weekdays, but weekend. =)

There are great things too today.
I finally got my feet into McD in Bintulu. wohooo~ XD
But, the happiest moment is the sermon today in Sunday service.
I really like the sermon by our pastor today.
Maybe because I like that book.
I still remember my dad read that chapter in Ecclesiastes on the morning of CNY 1st day last year.
Its a good book that remind us on our purpose of life on Earth.

But, today I just got to know that most of the scholars says the book was written by King Solomon.
I had always feel the writer was a person who had great wisdom and knowledge.
He write it as he had seen a lot in life.
Pastor asked today, "If God asked you today what do you want? What will be your answer?"
King Solomon asked for wisdom. How bout u?
Here is a part of the book. Enjoy~

Everything is Meaningless
The words of the teacher, son of David, King in Jerusalem:

"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the teacher.

"Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."

What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun?

Generations come and generations go,

but the earth remains forever.

The sun rises and the sun sets,

and hurries back to where it rises.

The wind blows to the south and turns to the north;

round and round it goes,

ever returning on its course.

All streams flow into the sea,

yet the sea is never full.

To the place the streams come from,

there they return again.

All things are wearisome,

more than one can say.

The eye never has enough of seeing,

nor the ear its fill of hearing.

What has been will be again,

what has been done will be done again;

there is nothing new under the sun.

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.

No one remembers the former generations,

and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.

Wisdom is meaningless

I, the teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

What is crooked cannot be straightened;

what is lacking cannot be counted.

I said to myself, "Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but i learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.

For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;

the more knowledge, the more grief.
