On faith

While on the subject of quotes, here are two of my favourites for the past couple of years.

“When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.”

So far so good

After the recent amount work on my personal weblog, I feel it’s time to take stock and quickly jot down all the customisations which have been made here. Also, if by chance another :mt: newbie comes along, hopefully this can be useful to him/her too.

Gratitude

Yesterday received this from a mailing list Inspiration Peak which I subscribe to:

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

Bad habits

Some time during my grad school days, I ‘accidentally’ acquired a habit of starting on a new book before finishing the previous one. Some books, not in any particular order, which have made it into this to-finish category are:

  • Art of happiness, by Dalai Lama;
  • Seven habits of highly effective people, by Stephen Covey;
  • 3:16 Bible texts illustrated, by Donald Knuth;
  • Further along the road less travelled*, by M. Scott Peck;
  • Assortment of books on chess.

Library

Managed to take some time to go to the local library (known as the “National” Library here in Singapore, consisting of a network of regional libraries) tonight. Borrowed two books:

  • Nicolae: the rise of Anti-Christ, which is Book 3 of the Left Behind series, and
  • PHP developer’s cookbook (as recommended on a number of websites which discusses PHP).

Hopefully will have some interesting reading to do in the coming weeks, as well as learning a lot about PHP!
