From Pen To Post
My internet at home has been giving me problem lately. Even the 'critical' message that has been appearing on my laptop screen everytime I start up didn't outlive this persistent irritation. Anyway, so I haven't been able to blog properly. So here's something I wrote during my trip to Genting in the beginning of this week.
Tuesday, 22 July 2008, 12pm
Sitting outside the hotel lobby at Genting, enjoying the cool breeze of the highlands is almost like my ideaof 'a relaxing afternoon'. I have a book to read and probably a beveragefrom Starbucks later. Amidst the noises around me which I'm oblivious to as I'm plugged in to Nano, I'm feel so serene.
At this moment, I wish you were here with me for the usual exclusive time we spend together. Sometimes I feel that we connected, and I am so engaged with you that it allows me a glimpse of who you are. Those are the moments I treasure the most. Though rare and far between, I'd rather spend time with you than anyone else. I want more of you.
I wonder how I would feel if someone were to write all these about me. At the least, I would probably feel honoured, loved, special, even if I didn't ask for it...would you?
Yesterday (24 Jul) I read on someone's msn nick, that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. I don't know the truth in definition of the terms, but it feels quite true. Indifference makes one feel worthless in the sight of another, doesn't it? So not worth the effort to even be bothered to lift an eye. Indifference seems less than hate. It's basically NOTHING.
I wonder if that's why Jesus said that He'd rather that we be hot or cold. If we are lukewarm, He will puke us out of His mouth. (Revelation 3:15-16) The perils of apathy...
Hmmm...don't ask me how this post ended with this weird and unrelated conclusion. I'm as clueless as you.

14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”
