It is stunning, terrifying, ... and amazing ... that this library is always so busy - whether it is Sunday, Monday ... I am just looking for a seat/table to work from my laptop - but after over 15 mins of walking around and around, I have to admit that as many other places in Hk, you have to wait patiently. And be prepared for bizarre instances like what this elderly behind me just did ... she literally dashed from the open area to the seat behind me just to get the seat when the one who is occupying was done with his reading, and she was carrying with her whole chunk of newspaper and a bag etc ... and she made a big bang when she landed on the seat with a great speed. And she immediately start flipping the newspaper! She must know some kind of kung fu ... Surprisingly nobody seems to be disturbed ...
I am sure after couple days in this library I won't be writing story like this - who is going to be surprised when this is something so common here ...

Their hearts beat for God ...
While I am writing this, I am actually sitting in the training room in CBC (the last training session before we head off to China), listening to Bosco's sharing about his (and his wife) decision to quit his job in MS and move to HK - a response to God's calling to serve the underprivileged in China. And it is snowing outside!!! Today is really special, first Judy shared about her love and support to her husband who is going to spend his christmas away from US and his family, and how she live by faith in little things ... a real woman, one who is constantly after God's heart.
Then one of the teammate came by and shared his struggles which are exactly what I am going through! I guess God is telling me hey you are not alone, you got company in this journey! (Maybe I grumble too much :=)) And he suggested that we should pray ...
Then comes a sister who brought up this wonderful idea that we should gather couple b/s and pray about our relationship w/ God, those who deserves love, China, the good news ... oh she is suggesting we pray EVERYDAY !!!!!!! Wow, God speaks so clear this time - I need to pray, and pray in Christ, with our heaven travelers - and I have no excuse to doubt His invitation ... so I am planning to gather all these prayer warriors!!
Then here comes Bosco - I heard of his story of turning from a tour guide to software engineer in MS. But what I don't know is how God had put him in the assistive tech group for a divine purpose - RM started here in MS by these two ppl (do you know they prayed almost everyday before work?) who respond to God's calling. And now he going on a new journey that is even more exciting than working in MS.
I am impressed by how much these people actually (yes, actually, 100%, action ... ) live by faith and by priority. Leave nothing for Jesus, give Him the number one priority in our lives ... "我們 既有 這 許多的見證人如同雲 彩圍箸我們…" as I am seeking God for what He is going to entrust to me in the near future, I will never forget how He showed me His faithfulness and His presence through all these touching and wonderful testimonies.
And I always like what PW says (in his poem) ... " Their hearts beat for God ... "

繼續無(謂)題
Looking back, really wonder how did I spend my weekend which is supposed to be the most "relaxed" in recent months ...
Friday nite - fellowship ... finally got some time ... but as usual, it is not about time ...
10:xxpm - went back home and got an email from a friend about " 愛得太遲" by Leo Ku, decided to watch the YouTube drama ... my calendar is open on Sat, so I was very relaxed ...
12:xxpm - wanted to sleep but want to finish the night with a " 童話” guitar solo ...
1:xxam - got to sleep ...
Sat morning ...
7:xx am ... waken up by noise produced from kitchen ... washing, cleaning, doors closed and opened ... *sighed* ... when will I own a house ...
9:45 am ... continued to struggle to get back to sleep but in vain. Finally got out of bed and went to “執下個樣" ...
10:05 am ... starving ... while turning on the computer, I was chewing this organic granola bar with peanut butter ... it tastes so bad indeed that I had a feeling today didn't have a good start ...
10:15 am ... online banking
10:3x am ... devotion
11:xx am ... okie ... time to start today's agenda - need to take care some of the benefits stuff, clear up mails (mostly credit cards ads ...), clean up a little bit of my desk ...
11: 30 am ... brother L called me "Hey we have the EG group today ..." I was totally stunned - I forgot ... didn't we just have the Desert Cafe??? oh, yes, EG group every two weeks ... so I hurried up and eat some cereals and quickly read up the EG workbook (I only had 3 sessions done, out of 5 ...) ... rushed to L's place ... felt bad about this ...
1:45 pm ... we were done and after some causal conversations I headed back and found that there was nothing to eat ... so drove to " 百佳" and got some tofu, spinach ... wait they don't go together according to my mom ... but anyway i should at least try once " 波菜炒豆腐" ...
2:45 pm ... back home and was tired, hungry ... Instant noodle is my rescue. After a quick lunch I want to continue my work ... but
3:45 pm ... too tired, decided to take a nap ...
4:xx pm ... if the chance of getting a call is evenly distributed, I shouldn't get one while I was sleeping ... but I am sure the probability of getting one follows some badly designed function of which the whole purpose is to ruin your sleep ...
5:pm ... maybe I should finally start my Sat schedule now ... so I started the CQ social studies materials preparation ...
6:pm ... no idea at all - there are many stories from bibles but it is better to have other sources ... suddenly it occurred to me I need to do the laundary ...
6:40pm ... headed out to Bellevue. Dinner plan with a co-worker.
8:30pm ... glad that it didn't take too long ...
9:00pm ... after replying to some personal emails, I returned back to the CQ preparation. And as mins passed by, I started to think "no way ... it is harder than I thought ..."
10:xxpm ... not much progress with the CQ stuff, though I found something but not what i'd expected ... now I need to switch to the Sunday school preparation ...
11:xxpm ... Thank God this one is quick. Found the sources and have a rough idea on what to teach ... need to tidy up the slides though.
12:xxpm ... wait, I need to do some job search ... where is the contact of the agent ????
12:xxpm ... after only couple mins of browing around job market, it occurred to me tmr is our church's 40th celebration ... And how to get to meanyhall for tmr's worship? The virtual earth installation took almost 15 mins on my slow laptop ... and the whole machine were almost functionless ...
almost 1 am ... need to go to bed ... what a "relaxed" Sat ...

無( 謂)題
本來不想寫,但還是希望記下這段期間的生活 寫照... " 忙"
某一個 weekday ...
Woke up at 9:15 am "Dude!!! what, already 9xx!! @#$@%^&*!@#$" rushed to bathroom and started the day with "reorganizing" my faces ...
Came to work at 10xx am ... tons of work, tons of emails, and what was supposed to work didn't, and who came up with the idea that a test topology can only be held on for a month? ... Tshooted for the whole lunch + afternoon in vain ... Topology destroyed ... need to setup another one - bummer ...
Rushed to company store before it closes, get the stuff for my friends and drove back home ... checking emails while eating dinner ... lots of them, RainBow, fellowship, sunday school, friends from far and near, and many ppl wanted to add you to Facebook ...
Rushed to Apple Bees for a happy hour gathering with some old friends, yes, we are old and I think this might be the last one this year (only 2 months from taking off to HK). Returned home almost 11pm. Continued the Sunday school preparation - have no clues at all ... searched some pics and found that they are not very relevant.
A friend called couple times and I frankly have no time to return the call ... sorry ... Oh, it's 12xx already ... spend couple mins on the "experiencing God workbook" ... then I need to do my devotion ... and pray for others ... already 1xx am !!!!
Very tired ... Tomorrow? will be the same ... all my time will be filled up by RM (oh, the social studies group preparation started! ), sunday school, emails, work (need to catch up lar ... o/w will be fired!!), connecting with friends (I think this is important) ... and job hunting ... do I have 48 hours? can I increase my productivity by 100%?

時間不停站
忙到死…點算 !? 已經很久沒有看事時新聞…世界怎麼了?
追追趕趕,分秒還是這樣溜走。
入睡前,想起這首歌…
請問時間
作詞：葉薇心 作曲：杜夢豫 編曲：陳揚
年紀小的時候，時間總是趕不上我，我等呀等呀等呀，它總在後面慢慢地跟。
漸漸長大以後，時間開始對我認真，我拼呀拼呀拼呀，我們倆有時輸嬴不分。
再過幾年以後，時間跑在我的前頭，我追呀追呀追呀，它卻在前面頭也不回。
時間！時間！等等我，我有話要說，噢！有話要說，請你請你告訴我，
人生應當怎麼過？

星月下的感動 - ACM 在 Seattle
没有帶什麼期望進入會場,也沒有去年的與奮心情,心想應該和以往一樣吧?
熟識的節拍, 專業的伴樂 ,動人的歌聲… 一切似曾相識。牧師的語氣和聲調 ,是標準的 HK style. 信息的內容也非常港式,如果不是最近多聽“港" 東話,也差點 不能招架… 但就在這樣彷彿很平凡,通俗的的四十五鐘內,一個又一個不平凡,有血有淚的見證,感動箸在場每一個被基督得箸的心…
最令自己感動的,是一個相愛的故事。女主角患有先天性糖尿病,隨時有失明的危險。男主角沒有介意 , 看生命裡面的價值更高 。拍拖三年,女主角真的瞎了,但弟兄沒有放棄,繼續拍了四年、到第七年向姊妹求婚 。 姊妹拒絕了,不想連累弟兄… 弟兄再嘗試, 結果一樣。 如果故事就這樣結束 ,基督的愛就算不得什麼了… 弟兄沒有放棄, 最後求了七次婚(令我想起以利亞求雨) !!姊妹終於應承 … 這樣“無條件, 沒理由"的人倫關係,不是每一個 人都能領會的…這是愛…
一個又一個破碎家庭的故事,一個又一個漂泊空洞的靈魂,沒有父親, 也沒有關心,失掉了童真,也泯 滅了良心。從香港到多倫多, 從上一代到下一代, 多少淌血的傷痕, 多少刻骨的烙印 ,外面看不見,痛在心裡邊 … 基督的愛就好像當年德蘭修女在那些被遺棄的角落裡把一個又個一垂死的兒童帶回去醫治… 在糢糊的淚光中, 彷彿看見那些被畫在逆境,傷痛中的角色,一個又一 個成為多人的祝福,他們 自己的生命,也有了不 同的解讀。
人生的黑夜,雖然是 漫長,但總能看見繁星滿天, 燃點箸天明的希望…
在燈火通明的夜裡 ,光輝璀燦 , 星月的皎潔,不過是成功與輝煌的點綴 ...
的確,今年的信息,像黑夜裡的星月,只有在暗處無光的晚上,才顯得更閃亮。

識唔Sick?
今日識唔識呢…如果番公司發夢…不如識左算啦…但正要 send out sick oof 時,發現同事已經快人一步,識 leave 收到!
我想我還是不適而 Sick leave lor ... 但每一個清晨在與睡魔掙扎時,腦海中還是會在 Sick 與 適 之間徘徊 ... Sick 即是 Home, Home 即是 Sick ... Sick leave 也是 work from home 的一種。老板會明白嗎?
太累了,睡吧!

At Ginza
So this is my first time at Ginza, Bellevue. Though I lived for a month in the apartment just across the street when I first came to Seattle but I didn't get a chance to check this out ... a Japanese restaurant owned by some chinese guys.
The setting is very Japanese indeed, with Japanese chefs and Japanese waitress ... though later on we found that one of the "Japanese looking" guy actually speaks Cantonese. Good signs include plenty japanese people eating there ... and just next to us there were a japanese girl nicely dressed (I have to admit that they are professional in making themselves presentable) and somehow a very "grass rooted" looking japanese guy having dinner together ... they were eating clams in miso soup. I wasn't too interested but my friend actually did asked the waitress about what that was and our nice neighbours were very excited and went on explaining how good the soup was ... and then this japanese lady was really nice and offer me one of the clam from her bowl of soup just to assure me of how delicious it is ... I wasn't expecting that indeed, she put the clam in her plate and passed it to me ... at first I was thankful and impressed by the hospitality but then I realized that was from her bowl ... did she just dig in already??? Is this Japanese culture?? is it impolite to just return the clam ....? with the concept of “ 大菌食細菌", I ate that clam and that was really delicious! It was so juicy and the miso soup surprisingly didn't take away the original favor of the clams ... it was just fabulous ...
So big thanks to that japanese girl and I know what to order next time ...

看不見的夢想
"... We met a blind boy in Chongqing who stopped pursuing his dream of being a coach because people told him that it is impossible.We met a blind girl in Chongqing who did not dare to dream of anything beyond working in a blind school ..." - RM Newsletter Aug 07
對我們(或許只是我)這些看得見的人來說; 夢想 - 又可曾飛翔過?他們的夢想,可能被隱沒在看不見的黑暗中,我們的夢想,卻埋葬在生活的壓力下,現實的冷酷中…可幸還是認識一些朋友,可以昂然乘箸夢想的翅膀, 飛到理想的彼岸…朋友們,加油!
為主來夢想
相片裡兒時的模樣
記錄著年少的時光曾經在你我的心中
要登上月亮 要飛越太平洋
多年後我們都成長
告別了青澀和迷惘
曾經在你我的心中
編織的夢想是否已遺忘啊
人生的理想 是為主發光
拭去了淚水 使我們更堅強 路依然漫長
別失去盼望 痛苦時記得有主在你身旁
為主來夢想 為主來發光
雖然有挫折 但我不用沮喪
主是我力量 主指引方向
我們的日子有夢想 有燦爛的陽光
記住要聽青春版!

天路奔行!
時間: 八月 十八日 晴 地點: Mt Rainier Cougar Camp Site 
早上起來時發現用牛仔褲和 Ski Jacket 砌成的睡枕已變成一推亂放的壓縮衣物,睡袋 扭作一團 ... 頭髮…不說也吧…
早率用過早餐後 便啟程往此行起點---Paradise. 遠遠已可清晰看到Mt Rainier 的項峰,雖然有一 層薄薄的輕紗蓋著, 但仍不減此山 的威嚴…" 我要向山舉目, 我的幫助從何而來..." --- 今天能到達萬多 尺高的 Camp Muir 嗎?
正如所有團體的行 程一樣, 出發前總要擾讓 一番。 由拍照留念到 電話測試,終於到能起程已經是四十分鐘後的事… 接下來的十二個小 時可能是我們人生中未必能再次經歷的嚴峻考驗…
起步時天朗氣清 鳥語花香,還有鹿兒在旁吃草…一切像
在“paradise" 一樣。 約個多時後 抵達 camp muir trail 的入口 ... 氣溫開始下降,原 來很清晰的路徑也 不見了。碎石路 引領我們到 達 Pebble Creek -- 一個如果不插牌寫 地方名字就不會有 人注意的地方。從 這裡開始就景致 就起了很大的變 化,從天朗氣清到一層如紗似霧的迷蒙…亦開始 了 當天“舉步為艱"的旅程。
走在雪地上是 很費力的,尤其 在斜陡的坡 上。四週白茫茫 一片,只聞聲音不見 人, 如果沒有帶 Walkie Talkie, 真是"以為在天堂" 。 我們一行六人, 步速不太一樣, 有前有後,但因 visibility 太低,有時即使 在附近也可以看不 在 見。 由於去年已經來過一已 躺(但中途折 返),所以太既 知道是跟隨腳印就可走到目的地。 專心"跟住腳蹤"後 一段時間,發現已 不見其他弟兄了…
通過對講機知道大家 都安好,便再上路 。沿路不時要停下來 休息,因為越高空氣 越薄,頭也開始 痛。 第一次呼吸這麼重, 也第一次發現自己的 腳,不能完全被自己 控制…Every step counts - 每多走一步, 都是殊不容易,也 不能後退…這個時候 心裡想起一首詩歌" 天路奔行" 歌詞中描述 "不分晝夜的追尋，直到天國降臨， 朋友你將了解為何，我一生奔行在天路， 堅毅的在天路上奔行" 真的,我完全看 不見前面的景物, 只知道一直往前走, 偶爾有一些其他的 登山客
經過,會打聲 招呼,然後又 會經過…“親愛的一些已到達,一些正陪伴著我" 。 每當我停下來向前看的 時候,發現前進最 大的阻力,除了雪地和 high elevation 外,其實是看不見目標 ... am I on the right track? am I moving in the right direction? What if I am wrong? and others are wrong too ...?? 疑惑是勇往直 前的一大障礙… 最難接受的是以為自己快要到達,卻發現原來還有一大段距離!!
走到最難行的最後一 千尺,大腿有一點抽 筋,心感不妙, 停下來站了良久, 心想,"就這樣放棄 ?"但就在停下來的 時觀察到其他登山 者的步伐 ----- 一秒一步,而且是 很碎步( 不足一個腳印)… Ah, I am going too fast!! 感謝主,人生有時真 的要停下來! 用一秒一步的步速, 真的很舒服,雖然是 非常慢(大家可以試 試),但卻減少了 停下來的次數 ,大腿的抽痛也沒有 了(I think the rate of oxygen consumption and body temperature are the keys) 。 順帶一題的是,其 他比我們走得快的登 山者有很多年紀都 比我們大,婦女也為 數不小… 這點令我 感到有點汗顏…
Camp Muir 到底是怎樣,真 的從來末親眼見過 ,但當一陣風把雲霧 吹開,一個非常簡單的建築組合程 現眼前時,心中的欣喜實在難以筆墨形容。因為 camp muir 就在前面!! 在人生中很多的等候 與追尋,努力,耕耘 當中, 結果不一定盡如人意 ,功敗垂成是常態, 平步青雲是異數 。目標達到,當然特 別與奮,腳步也快了 很多,終於用盡最 後的腳骨力,踏在堅 實的泥土上…

經過,會打聲 招呼,然後又 會經過…“親愛的一些已到達,一些正陪伴著我" 。 每當我停下來向前看的 時候,發現前進最 大的阻力,除了雪地和 high elevation 外,其實是看不見目標 ... am I on the right track? am I moving in the right direction? What if I am wrong? and others are wrong too ...?? 疑惑是勇往直 前的一大障礙… 最難接受的是以為自己快要到達,卻發現原來還有一大段距離!!走到最難行的最後一 千尺,大腿有一點抽 筋,心感不妙, 停下來站了良久, 心想,"就這樣放棄 ?"但就在停下來的 時觀察到其他登山 者的步伐 ----- 一秒一步,而且是 很碎步( 不足一個腳印)… Ah, I am going too fast!! 感謝主,人生有時真 的要停下來! 用一秒一步的步速, 真的很舒服,雖然是 非常慢(大家可以試 試),但卻減少了 停下來的次數 ,大腿的抽痛也沒有 了(I think the rate of oxygen consumption and body temperature are the keys) 。 順帶一題的是,其 他比我們走得快的登 山者有很多年紀都 比我們大,婦女也為 數不小… 這點令我 感到有點汗顏…
Camp Muir 到底是怎樣,真 的從來末親眼見過 ,但當一陣風把雲霧 吹開,一個非常簡單的建築組合程 現眼前時,心中的欣喜實在難以筆墨形容。因為 camp muir 就在前面!! 在人生中很多的等候 與追尋,努力,耕耘 當中, 結果不一定盡如人意 ,功敗垂成是常態, 平步青雲是異數 。目標達到,當然特 別與奮,腳步也快了 很多,終於用盡最 後的腳骨力,踏在堅 實的泥土上…
最後同行的弟兄都續 一到達了,稍作休息 後便要趕在天黑前下山 。 我們分了兩隊,一 隊先行,另一隊殿 後。 所謂上山“容易”, 落山 “煩” 。基本上在陡斜的雪坡 上我沒有辦法"腳 踏實地" 。連走帶滾地一下子 滑行了很遠 。 由於我們走得比較慢 ,所以 我們幾乎是最後下 山的人 。過程中可謂“千山 萬水,恩惠相隨 "…
從下小雪,到下大雨,到對講機無電, lost one of the 弟兄,在荒山野嶺 如廁(千其吾好話 俾人知)… 神都保守我們十分平 安 ,最後在大雨中到達 營地,時間已經是 十時多了…這個時候 ,當然是深夜“打邊爐"! 竟然在荒山野領 都可以食到蝦,牛丸,腐竹,金菇, 豆腐,魚蛋 ,省巢三合一,雲吞 麵,辛辣麵… 仲有嘉頓夾心餅… 真的要多謝啊 Joe!! 在美國露營,可以很 “文明" 。
這晚開創了最快入睡 記錄,只記得呼了一 口氣,便不省人事了 …

Really really tired ...
The 12 hours hike is no kidding ... today (Monday), two days after, I am still so tired ... and did a lot of stupid things - forget to turn off lights, left my badge at home, trying to wash veggies that are already cooked, putting an empty cup into the microwave ...
I am walking like a penguin now ... but surprisingly it is not too bad when compared doing a 4-5 miles run ...
Anyway my mattress is now my best friend, and I can just sleep anytime ...

若你能看見
如若你能看見藍天 能望到千朵白雲隨風轉
願你不忘記感謝神 能看見絕未必然
如若你能聽到潮聲 能聽見千萬狂濤飛濺
願你不忘記感謝神 能聽見乃主恩典
環顧世上不知幾多眼睛 連自己雙手亦無從一見
若你抬頭仍舊見藍天 請緊記凝望多遍
環顧世上數不清的耳朵 連父親聲音亦從未聽見
若你偶然緩步至岸邊 請多聽潮浪一遍
願你不忘記感謝神 能看見絕未必然
如若你能聽到潮聲 能聽見千萬狂濤飛濺
願你不忘記感謝神 能聽見乃主恩典

永恆的答問
到底我們的得救是 預定(出名的預定論),還是自由意志決定了我 們永恆的命運? 今天中神的課( 加爾文與福音信仰) 很特 別,觸及一些歷世歷代都未有解決的問題 ... 會後順道問了講師到底從加爾文到現在是否在這個問題上有些確定的答案…
李博士話:應該無
我: Huh?!
李博士:如果所有 這些問題都得到答 案,神學就再沒有 義意了…因為我們 已如同神了…(大概意思)
我:哦…
( 我除了提供天氣先生式的答案 ,實在不知怎樣 回應…)
正如人生一樣, 面對許多沒有或末有答案的問題,除了窮一生之力, 費盡心思熱情,在 自己有限的智慧裡 為永恆的答案建造框架外 ,其實還可以退一步, 放眼當下, 回應一些 只有我們才能回答的問題…
能遇見現在, 才知道預見將來的意義 ...
我想應該是時候熱切期待 "Boundaries in theology" 了 ...

RM training
彩虹工程短期服務隊第一次召集!!!
I was so impressed by how organized they are and by just knowing what they are trying to accomplish in the following months I am sure this trip is going to be a very different one from those I went before. A dedicated prayer partner, a small study group metting twice a month, monthly training gathering/retreat ... this is by far the most well planned and "quality" focused mission/service team I had ever joined. The fact that put so much emphasis on our personal relationships with God and team building makes me think that this is going to be a fruitful one ... and in fact from the sharing today there are some reall meaningful questions to ponder over:
1. How to measure the "success" of this trip?
2. What is success in your christian walk?
3. What is the most valuable thing you will bring to China?
And finally ...
What is the color of love?
sky is blue, cloud is white, apple is red ... love is ???
下回分解…

我找到了!…回鄉證…
正在決定應定何時的機票 ... 又想到要考慮申請回鄉證所需時間…就在這千鈞一發之際…竟然收到毋親的電話,原來“它"一直是在阿 ma 的櫃桶底,被很多東西蓋著了 ... 感謝神, 禱告蒙應允了!!! 可以短宣了 :) !
神很幽默, 回鄉證的到期日剛好是 08 年年頭一月五日!! 短宣回來後可以續證了!
真是美好的印證! 多謝你,天父!

耶和華坐箸為王
的確,意然又是同一首詩歌!回美後第一個主日,就出現這首在香港銅福堂時很讓我感動的詩歌。音樂嚮起的時候,心裡有一種很特別的感覺,真的無論在香港,在美國,在什麼時候,祂都在我們生命中坐箸為王…基本上,我都不需要看歌詞了,低頭默想,難道在不久的將來神要我經歷一些很“不平凡”的洪水?所以多次多番的籍詩歌提醒我?我是否有這樣的勇氣和信心,繼續宣告祂是王,並深信背後的意義? 其實洪水可怕,生命的軟弱更可怕,小信,自私,貪心,沮喪…不算是洪水都可以算是 漏水 ...
如果第三次聽到的話…

神的時間
到達西雅圖後一個很深刻的体會…(現在才出街,因為病了一個禮拜)
話說抵達 Seattle downtown 時正想撥電話聯絡之前約好的弟兄來 pick me up ... 但好境不常,晴天pig leg ... 手機無電! 所有電話號碼都在電話裡面…點算呢? 又沒有帶差電器…站在 Seattle Center 良久,除了看看路人是否在用同一型號手機外,竟然想不出任何法子…這個時候腦海中閃個很多意念,從責備自己太不小心,到打的到底要多少錢,從奇望突然有車來接送,到為什麼神會容許這種事…奇怪得很,明明"吾關神事" 但往往卻又要找一個對象來宣泄心中的情緒…
很多人會問:點解不坐巴士…其實這已經是我第一個想法,但帶箸行李,走幾個 blocks, 仲吾知係吾係上對車 (終於發現香港的巴士捧得很!)…後果可能更嚴重…
其實當日天氣很好, Seattle Center 遊人滿佈,仿似人間樂土 ... 但憂慮的眼睛,永遠看不見美好的光明,愁心,是良晨最好的殺手。帶箸一身的疲慮,走進了 Center House 希望上網找尋幫助。終於第一次在Seattle Center 上網, 也是第一次發現 timing 是這麼重要… 本來打算能找到什麼電話之類,但卻竟然在IM 中碰到原來要接我的弟兄…事後他說原來他以為是另外一天,所以正準備睡覺…臨訓前上一下網就訓,加上他的電話關了,打給他也沒用… 竟然就在這幾分鐘的 Window 裡…就解決了我的難題…
有人相信命運的佈局,我卻相信神的時間,不太遲,不太早,經歷到的時候,你就會知道;不要以為機會錯失了,前面就再沒有去路;其實只要他還在,一切都會變得美好…將感謝頌讚,歸給在天上的父。

病左
一番黎就病 ...真係慘! 在與時差和病魔搏鬥之際,突然想起神吩咐以西結籍向左側臥三百九十日,向右側臥四十日,以承擔以色列和猶大家的罪... 真不容易!!! 矣,不知今次要臥多久? (應該不是為罪的原故吧!)

Airport again ...
Finally time to say goodbye to friends and family. It has been a hectic 1.7 week and as my dear friend suggested it felt like a month or more because there have been so many happenings ... Thanks to all who had made so many impacts in my life during this period (you might not have known that) - thanks to my family (they are always so positive), thanks Andrew for your super great French cruisine, thanks Wendy purely for your happiness, thanks Epo for your insightful sharing, thanks Eddie for the nice homey night camping at your place (and thanks for the kiss from Ernst), thanks to Grace and Mirror (the pumpkin/squash soup was great!) thanks to many who I have talked to ... , thanks all!!! (Though I barely had time to meet those I planned to meet, I do cherish all the time we spend together). Most importantly I did have a chance to talk to some recruiting agents in depth and have an interview with one company. A very unique experience that will definitely help me on my decision to come back to Hk. A father whofter all, a big thanks to our heavenly who blesses us and loves us in so many different ways.
Time to board, and time to leave Hk for another .... (who knows) couple months. This time it is really "hundred feelings mixing together ..." - suddenly this song came to me "重回布拉格" ... by Chek Lam ....
See you all ...

耶和華坐箸為王
This is my first time to have a Sunday worship on Saturday. I am very impressed by how lively and (maybe) spontaneous the worship was. It is not very common to see christians in HK to be so involved in singing, praying, clapping their hands and be emotionally expressive ... and the music was real good. But most importantly, God did speak to me through this song ... when I am so confused, frustrated, troubled and undecided about my future - then comes the message that "predicting the future is not the way to go, acknowledging who is in control of the future is the way out". Whatever is flooding in our life, we know and proclaim He still regins - that's how we can ride the waves amidst storms ...
Yes Lord I need to let go whatever is holding me back from trusting you more, loving you more ... let you be my true satisfaction and direction. Praise and glory to our Heavenly Father ...
God always speaks to us, doesn't He?

“It’s only with one’s heart that one can see clearly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Then he understood，it was the time he spent on his flower which made his flower so important. - Little Prince
How does this sound - spend 2 weeks with some vision impaired kids in China? They don't have a chance to see how good you look like, how well you dress, your facial expressions, or gestures ... being there for them is truly a "heart to heart" experience, with a type of love that is truly invisible to the eye ...
Yes, this is all about the time you spent with them ...

我的今天只能活一次
六月二十三日 陰晴不定
今天上班的時候突然發現2007年6月23日就只有這一天,特別的地方是明天無論如何相似,我的今天只能活一次。今年的6月23日永遠不會再回來,我也只有一次機會可以活好今天...
回家路上,覺得今天的晚霞,好像比平日漂亮 ...

你們不可停止聚會...
但聚會的感覺是-到底主耶穌在嗎?還是我們只在 he he ha ha ... 在一天繁忙疲累的工作後爭取時間舒展身心?或許是我們在固有的模式下忘了誰是主角?到底是因為時間的錯置,還是形式的單調?是參加者的無心,還是帶領者的乏味?以致空氣中還彌漫著冷飯和罐頭的味道?
人老了,不想磋砣歲月,也實在沒有本錢,想起上帝的一問:“你在這裡做什麼?" 當跑的路 、當守的道,當打的仗...何烈山路途遙遠,但回頭一看,最不想見到的是自己在原地轉圈。更可怕的是-不少人也正在原地踏步,久久走不出困局...
相聚,沒有相交;喧鬧,加添冷淡...
聚會,在不知不覺間,可能已經停止了...

與馬同奔
一本很有意思的書,從沒想到(或很少想到)在我們的人生中,我們常常有意無意中,以主角的身份,來飾演我們的角色, 但原來主角不是我們,我們其實是配角(或特約演員罷了)。
主角是誰?如果你還未找到,就要加油了,努力! (身邊的基督徒可以幫到你)
都是曾xx那一句:"我會活好每分鐘" !!
主角是誰?如果你還未找到,就要加油了,努力! (身邊的基督徒可以幫到你)

心存感恩
神的確很奇妙,籍 著主日學的預備,神彷彿在親自對我說話 ...
"我 的 心 哪 、 你 為 何 憂 悶 、 為 何 在 我 裡 面 煩 躁 ． 應 當 仰 望 神 ． 因 他 笑 臉 幫 助 我 、 我 還 要 稱 讚 他 。"
以為在幫助學員明日神的話,但原來預備的才料,正是自己生命的寫照...

香港感言
香港感言-隨筆
埋藏在人海中,感覺很特別,雖然對週遭的環境很熟識,但對擦身而過的人潮,不免感到陌生。在地鐵車廂內、尤覺處身社會縮影,港人生活百態盡現的萬花筒中。人們的眼睛一般都是向下看的,無論是看書,看報,看錶,看遊戲機,或是只想逃避迎面而來的目光…無處不在的廣告,資訊,影象會讓人在擠迫的陌生人中感到很自在。或許幾百萬的香港人就是籍這些無處不在的媒體在溝通著,雖然沒有言語,表情,但集體記憶、和認同,卻在慢慢成形…所以即使是素未謀面,偶然遇上的香港人也可以有很多話題…
香港感言-廣告
“集中吾到精神,成日去遊雲“-香口糖
“情與義,值千金”(鄭少秋古老歌)-安信兄弟信託服務,非常欣賞的廣告。
“和興百花油”-由和興百花油老板親自主唱-幾乎噴飯…
“全城投入,為藍天打氣”-難得的環保廣告!
“要有一套”-你話係買咩?
創意加攪笑,也是一種娛樂。還有太多好廣告,不能盡錄…
香港感言-新年
“豬肥屋潤”
“豬事亨通”
“豬圓玉潤”
“豬事勝意”
“豬樂常笑”-0下?0甘都得?
香港感言-人情味與無情人
某日乘搭地鐵,竟然找到一個座位,疲累的我坐下後,所能看到的只是人潮的不斷進出…沒多久,身旁的一位中年婦人突然站起來,很禮貌的對一位站箸的年老太婆說“你坐0拉”。一方面我感到非常懺愧,"只顧自己的事”,沒有留意到週的人的需要,另一方面也欣慰地看到港人樂施的一面…老人家看了一看中年婦人,一句話也沒有說,只把頭別向另一面…如此過了好幾秒。中年掃人站了一會,也不是味兒,最後也只好坐回原位。"下一站黃xx”,老年婦人在步出車廂時喃喃自語 "一個站 …”
付出和去愛,不免會遇到痛楚和傷害, 但那忍受罪人頂撞的,你們要思想,免得疲倦灰心”。沒有代價的愛,也沒有深遠的價值,所以昂貴,也正是如此。

Thanksgivings
Couple things I really want to thank God on my return flight to HK:
1. Due to my super "big head shrimp" character, I didn't pay attention to the return flight time too much and thought that it was at night but actually it was an afternoon flight. So I missed the Tue flight. But to my big surprise the next available flight was not full and I was able to make it without paying any penalities.
2. I didn't get sick this time (during my stay in HK)!!!
3. Things were relatively smooth at the port of entry to US. I was wondering how the Advanced Parole document works but thank God I did bring everything with me and with a little longer delay than usual I got admitted ...
Other little things including sitting in the middle seat (better than I though it was!) and being able to watch some really meaningful Korean movies :)
God is good ...
Let me post more interesting things that happened during my stay in HK ...

路得記
按環境來理解,註釋神的愛,還是以神的愛來解讀人生的際遇?
以環境的順逆來衡量神的愛,永遠覺得神的愛不足,不深,不完全 …用神的愛來理解人生中的起跌,卻總能看到那盛滿的半杯水 …說到底,得失對錯、又豈是我們在有限的人生中能完全掌握,明白…放眼永恆,也許是最豁達的看法 …
下主日會講0羊呢?

有時人生的聚散有點像跑小巴線,每天總有不同的人在我們的生命中進進出出,有乘客待久一點,有乘客瞬間就要下車。在忽忽忙碌的生活中,有太多的HI一BYE在擦身而過,忘了名字,忘了姓氏 …司機和乘客的交流, 時晴時雨,時急時緩,有輕歌妙韻,有高唱入雲...”司機燈位有落丫。"0下,0甘快就走?!","0吾洗做咩!”,希望,總遇著落空,等待,卻碰上阻礙。有乘客坐得久了,會有很多說話…“司機,開快的喇"“你第一次渣車丫”“話左有落wor"“禁區有落得唔得0丫"“司機轉個台啦, 好悶丫"...迫不得已,有時都要拒載…
跑一條線久了,發覺有點可怕,尤其是xx圖這條線,乘客開始越來越少,雖然山明水秀,風光如畫,空氣清新,但空空的座位總在陽光燦 爛的日子裏,在每個清醒的意識中,留下一道長長的陰影…
小巴司機是越來越少了。很多都已轉行渣的士。當然,能碰到願意跟你一生一世困在同一部車中的人,是很應該珍惜的。雖然在狹小的空間中,但兩個人的世界,總是沒有時間和邊際的。仍然當小巴司機的,背後都有很多平凡中有點唏虛的故事。”我夠想渣的士o各,轉到先得架"。在真實的無奈中,小巴司機仍然在兜兜轉轉,把一個個期盼放在一個個陌生的乘客中...
或許可以跑另一條線,或許可以不收車資,或許可以把車子粉飾一番,或許可以多走幾轉,或許可以跟同行搶生意...小巴司機明白到,重覆的動作,不會帶來更新的結果。
交更了,從駕駛座走下來,小巴司機穿插在簇擁的人潮中,再沒有回到這條線的起點 ...

彼得的見證
Link from brother B's blog, click here to read Peter Wong is testimony. I met both Peter and his wife at church, but never thought of those stories behind ... and I still remember what he once said (and encouraged me) to me
"Career is what you are paid to do. Calling is what you are made to do."
"Career is what you are paid to do. Calling is what you are made to do."

人際關係
"人間最痛苦的經驗,是關係的破碎和疏離" - from 今天的主日學
Really very difficult, even among brothers and sisters. 有時想得多了,發現日子還得幹下去,路還是要走,道還是要守。真正的失敗,或許是待在門題中太久,忘記了許多應做的事 ... 或從此緊鎖心門,一拼把美麗和醜惡的關係拒諸門外。得失或許難以計算,但創傷卻無可避免-----鬼叫我地係人0羊!!
好,的起心肝, 尋找和創造更美好的關係 ...
