The books of my life

I took a picture of the books that are dominating my life (literally). Like some of the less academically inclined people... I dread reading.. books are usually better than any other medicine if I cant get to sleep... To me... insomnia and books never go together... I never really got down to reading ever since I was young.... I hate it..

Only until when I was in Uni that I realise the true value of books... The knowledge that it contains, and how much it widens your horizon in terms of life's perspective, if only u are willing to take time to read it... It is such a wonderful creation of God...

One book that I am trying to find time to read is "Photoshop CS2 for digital photographers" by Scott Kelby, highly recommended by my fellow photography enthusiast, Wei ren.

This book teaches me on little tricks that I can use to improve a picture... A picture says a thousand words... this book wont improve the number of words, but it certainly can improve the "vocabulary" used.

It is certainly my wish that I can truely master the little tricks and thereafter be able to help people around me create amazing picture... for free! I am sure many will be greatly blessed by it.

This is a book that relates to my hobby... I dont spend much time on it now... but i hope to find time..

The second book of my life now is one of the four books that I have to read for my CPA exam here. You may ask... when is your CPA exam? Eh.... actually... it has not been determined yet... I am reading it since it is really thick... and would probably kill me when I finish it....

On a more serious note, getting the CPA is one thing I hope to achieve while I am here. I am not sure the commercial value of it (shd be high), but it's certainly something which I think is worth working for.

I genuinely wish that I can gain the necessary knowledge through this book and its other three "siblings". As a matter of career needs, I am reading it diligently... at least starting from yesterday (Tuesday).

The third book of my life... and definitely the most important book... is the book of life.... The Bible.. ("life application study bible" in this case)

Bible is a ridiculously amazing book... Each time you read it... you get new revelations.. and from the numerous sessions I had with Ben... we realised how differently each person interprets many of the things written in there....

This is a book that I want to read religiously (pun not intended).... As a Christian, I do know the importance of reading the bible everyday... It's like the daily food we take in... it helps to fuel our spiritual life... but the evil one has been successful in making me read it less frequently than I hope to...

I pray that God help me... I want to get fresh revelations each time I read the book, I want to read it each day... faithfully... I want this book to be the book of my life... I want to be like many of my friends, and have Christ as the person I live for... I want to feed my spiritual life... I want to be a true Christian... God help me..

In my life... there are always many things that appears more urgent.... other matters that requires my immediate attention... but I know reading the bible and interactions with God is more important than any other matters/things in my life... I pray that God help me prioritise... and help me realise the urgency of the matter... the need to read the bible... the need to read it NOW...

hmm... having said that... I better go read the bible now... period.
