Solitude Day 1
For the next 5 days, it'll be solitude from morning to evening for me...cuz my sis and bro hav gone for their YF camp for the next 6 days, and my parents wil be at work in the day. So it'll juz me the house and me!!! Not always a bad thing to experience this solitude though...but i tink i've gotten abit too used to solitude and doin stuff alone, to de extent of enjoying the quietness and time to myself, such that company becomes something unwelcomed at times... Guess i experience more solitude than the average person, and according to Le Chatelier's Principle, will there be a day where the equilibrium position will be shifted due to the presence of excess solitude? The day when I get tired of solitude and yearn for company.... sometimes, i do fear that day may come...soon? or in a decade? century? hmmmm.... hope it doesn't come too soon...or else it'll affect the state of dynamic/static equilibrium in my life..(lol...can't decide whether my life is considered as having dynamic or static equilibrium..haha...tink it's dynamic lah...)
Anyway, here's wat happened on day 1 of my period of solitude:
1) Wake up to an empty house
2) Watch TV
3) Cook maggi mee for lunch
4) Practice carolling songs (Wah take on average 20mins to settle one song....quite long..)
5) Felt lost...dunno wat to do next....so went to watch more TV
6) Felt hungry, so went to Long John's Silver for a tea-time snack...(only realised tat i haven draw money yet when i was ordering halfway...haha...but managed to pull it off though..haha...phew!!!)
7) Went shopping at popular to finish using as much of my LDS claims as possible (it's de $400 MOE gives tchers a year to spend on useful resources for our development..haha watch concert oso can claim one leh!!!) Can you believe i spent like $168 on "A" level chemistry books at one go??? guess i'm quite kiasu, really... which makes me left wif $2.57 of LDS claims..lol...any suggestions on how to spend my $2.57?? Have to finish spending it by 31 dec 2007...haha...
8) Come home to cook fried rice for mummy & me
9) Do dishes and washing up
10) Watch the last 15mins of a TV drama (thanks to my slow cleaning up..haha)
11) Submitted my LDS claims online
12) Chatting on msn....realised tat there's 2 weddings on 22nd dec...haha..or maybe even more...izit such a good day?? haha...everyday is a good day if the wedding is according to God's will =)))
13) Blogging bout Day 1 of my solitude (which is wat i'm doin now...)
14) Read Bible and pray (I must rem and be disciplined to do so!!!! wat I hav to do after activity 13..haha)
15) Sleep and dream of things out of my reach in reality.... =((((
Lastly, juz a little something to share... Last Sunday at church choir, I learnt a new song called "The Majesty and Glory of Your Name", and it had been a favourite played over and over again in my ears and head =) Thanks to a fren who gave me a beautifully crafted mp3 (both in lyrics and musically ^_^) of a choir cum instrumental composition of that thought-provoking song! =) It's the line "And what is man that you are mindful of him?" that drew me to the song. It's a song largely based on Psalm 8, mainly from verses 3 to 9 =) The verses certainly brings out the meaning of the song!!
Psalm 8
1: O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2: Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3: When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5: For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6: Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8: The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9: O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Gd Nitey!!!!!
