"The most important journey of discovery is about you yourself. The university is where you begin to cut the cord that binds you to your parents, not that you should abandon them or your family, but to begin to fly on your own." - NTU President Dr Su Guaning

I am thankful that I am part of Nantah. Lots if fond memories during my NTU days. God has been faithful and forgiving. He showered His blessings upon me throughout my 4 years in NTU. THere were times when I was about to give up but God has never forsaken me!

Wonderful God

thanks to the hotel network. All is gone when it was d/c juz now.

Anyway, i think now it's the tiem to count my blessings. God is indeed gracious and merciful to me. I am well taken care and experiencing alot here. What a fruitful trip. I truly appreciate everyhing He has given to me. Thank you, Lord.

I am thankful for the PICS people I met. Howard, Bill, Patrick, Lyn, Mike, Young, Charlie, Adrian... CBP folks: Melvin, Will, Kesh, George, Karen... Deirdre, Max and ya, Daniel Wee & Ada of coz.

This is only a start and I guess long way ahead :) I know my redeemer lives and He is gonna to carry me thru everything!

Last evening in Hilton Garden Inn..just finish packing..hahah.... gdgdg.. so happy...

Day 5 & 6

What a tiring trip... hehe... we are overworked!!! ;p

Met otto and folks for pipeline stuffs. Hmmm again I must say taht they appear to be very sincere and helpful! Kinda suprised but really appreciate their kind thoughts. Hope thing will go well in future as we set up the model. Had lunch at Shien Osaka again... Yummy jap food. Oh... they scheduled me to work with Howard on Monday 730am. Hmm he is a veteran with 35 yrs experiences in HP!!! 35 yrs... haha... I am not yet born. Gosh, I am getting a bit anxious and nervous wrt the learning session. Thank God that I had the courage to tell them that I am new and not familiar with many stuffs. Hope they pardon me for asking not so intelligent qns. I guess it is always good to let them know where I am so that they can set the expectatation towards me more appropriately.

Last night we went to Balboa Park. Wowo, a nice park wid many museums in that surrounding. Then there is this Giant Church Organ... i think it is roughly 50 times the normal organ size. So cool!! Too bad there wasn't a concert yesterday. Nvm, I will catch the cncert if i come to SD next round...kekek.. later on, we drove to downtown and we saw the pirate ship. It was kinda let when we reached there. So din get to visit the ship mesuem. We had nice seafood dinner at Sea village. The breeze was sooooo cooling sia...

This morning we woke up quite early as I have to rushed for my Kayak tour at La Jolla Cove ;p Kinda exciting as going to kayak in the Ocean pacific!! Kekeke... I had fun. We saw brown leopard shark, Dolphin, sea lion and Orange color fish! So nice!!!! What a wonderful experince... first time getting so close to those creatures... Then we kayak to the cave... Had some tan... alamak..

Then we had mexican food for lunch. Eh... I dun quite like it but ok lar, good to taste it at least once. Mt Soledad is a awesome place. At the tip of the mountain, we can hv a 360 view at San Diego... It is a war memorial place also, and a BIg white Cross is standing up there! Torres Pine is another scenic place, along ocean pacific also. our God is the creaor of Heaven and earth. I feel so so so tiny as I compare myself to the universe. God is so faithful as He takes care of everything in the earth.

Thank You Lord, our almighty God. You are indeed powerful as I admire Your creation!!!

Today

I thought today is a bit fruitful

We went in to the office quite early. Howard is nice, he walked us thru those plots n told us the limitatain etc etc. Sound so chim... then the meet up wid Bill open my eyes. Hmm he is quite direct and honest. Actually i kinda respect him.

随走随写

This is the article which I wrote for my recent Youth Convention trip @ HKCU. It has been publiched in CAC news :) I thought it would be nice if i post here also... enjoy reading

<< 嗦罗 aka Solo >>
夜晚，尽管是细雨纷飞，地面崎岖，多处的烂泥积水，都不足以让我们豁免在马鞍山上经历野外独处；大会就是拼了老命都要大伙上山。几经折腾，终于在凌晨2时半抵达山顶。就这样，雨衣，垃圾袋，寒衣，维他奶和小面包陪伴我在草丛中度过了两个时辰。抬头一望，漆黑的夜空，躲在云层后的星星，凉爽清新的空气，就只有这些。静默了片刻，就睡着了。5时左右，天亮了，进入眼帘的景色美极了！昨夜的辛苦没有白费，是值得的！试想，如果我没看见如此美景，我还会赞美感谢神么？神就是那么样的全知全能，知道我们常常会被眼前的事物所蒙蔽导致怨声四起，岂不知他已将最好的东西摆在后头，待我们去经历和发现。那我还为我的未来操什么心呢?!


<< 走进人群 >>
手提着清洁剂，手套，布，冬菇等，我们一行4个人到湾仔一户年过八旬的夫妇家中进行社区服务！乍看一下，屋子还挺宽敞和整齐，生活条件可算不错。老奶奶像总司令般的指挥我们做这做那，一点也不客气。当我爬高抹穿户时，心中感慨万分。身为基督徒，我们口口声声说爱神爱人，若不愿放下身段服务周遭的人（哪怕是陌生甚至是不可爱的人），皆是空谈而已。这提醒自己不仅是领袖，也是仆人。眼前的这对夫妇，孩子大了，屋子只剩下他们，看似有点悲哀，难道这就是城市人的写照吗？我的父母也会有如此光景么？

<< 委身 >>
闭幕礼时，每人都得要“献心”。这并非是强制性的，纯属个人意愿。< 献上自己...殷勤服事...尽心爱神...愿受差遣 > 看似简单明了的承诺，要行出来，谈何容易！我岂能如此草率的答应呢？我挣扎了许久，不是因为自己不愿被主使用，更关键的是害怕自己无法兑现对神的承诺。眼看多数人似乎无后顾之忧的涌上前，我慌了。内心的私欲，担心自己放不下；反复看了好几遍，也许我想太多了，太杞人忧天了...

后记
这次的青年大会可真考我的体力啊！可爱的电梯从营会的开始到结束都升起罢工的旗帜，可恶极了！我很有幸的住在7楼，共144个梯级，一天至少来回2趟；更妙的是，美丽的香港中文大学位于高山区，校园面积大得很，食堂，讲堂和宿舍的距离不是非常的远，只不过需要走10至15分钟而已。营会期间，两只小腿的肌肉绷紧得很。别误会，我并没有埋怨。其实我觉得这是一个很好的锻炼和提醒。基督徒尤其是领袖，所走的道路并不是轻省的，更非无难处无考验的；当环境不顺我意时，我更当咬紧牙根，凭着当初的信念走向目的地，因为我知道这是值得的！还好，我平时都有运动，感谢神我还撑的住 :)这小事提醒我要常常做好准备，因为我不会知道真正的考验何时会莅临！


--------------------------------

原来上帝真的很公平，他赐给每个人不同的遭遇，为要彰显他的荣耀！
我蛮欣赏HY的，她是一位很杰出的 principle engineer. 近来有机会和她一起用餐，其实她背后也有一些我们不常看到的辛酸。 原来上帝并没有私心，不管你的情景如何，他必然会开路，赐足够的能力和智慧去应付

MAP: print, scan, copy

I think I will miss doing colormapping in future... Having fun with rev 4 ink and I went thru the steps, procedures, my own tweaking methods, @ my own pace! Still dun understand why they need 3-4 days to cut a map ;D haha... although mine is not the perfect and final one, but I am happy with what I did

Moving on to scan and copy maps soon. Linux platform and C shell script. Something worth exploring =) Kinda look forward to work on that and of coz my SD trip and stay. Kekek...

I think tongue is really a very and super wonderful organ! Hmm these days complaints are all around in the office. Colleagues are criticizing managers openly and press them for decision. Hmm sometimes I also feel that management is a bit.... errr... chicken ler... Why they do not have the courage to make announcement? We know things change, people change and I think most of us are ready for the change. but why do they still dilly delly? Hmmm... Lord, please teach me to guard my tongue, knowing that I am Your workmanship, created in You to do good work, which You prepared in advance for me to do.

Why they haven asked me to go for VISA interview? Arghh.. losing patience... hehe... ok, stay cool.

Cabaret @ Esplanade

It is not always good to settle for lower apple. Can go up a bit more? Those up there could be sweeter :) -Herr Schultz to Fraulein Schneider

It was a good musical. Worth the money and exceed my expectation. :) I think local production crew all not bad uh!! Well done, Beatrice Chia-Richmond!!!

Note: Beau -> Bea. Thanks to sherlyn hor... kekek

mahjong

haa... let me blog abt mahjong... my personal view lar...

Eh... nothing wrong with mahjong actually esp when we play for fun... Is it a form of gambling? Yes, when it involves money or any other form of bets... What is more impt is why do we want to do that? No other better thing to do or? Hmm i think this right or wrong thing is quite tricky :D

In order not to cause others fall, I would say I rather dun play. What if one day my friend just quotes me as the example, saying that Christians also play mahjong (eventhough it is without any bet). What kind of image will we project? I am a coward, i rather dun take the risk.

Actually mahjong, drink, clubbing, skimpy clothes, smoking... these are all the same... Bible does not state clearly that we can or cannot do. What bible tells us is... do whatever that honours God and do not be the stumbling block for others... God is good, He puts a yardstick in our hearts. He grants us the freewill to choose. So the choice is yours! At the end of the day, you are the one who is accountable to Him and those around you :)

It was an exciting weekend...

First it was the weekday cell grp. Was quite nervous when I started to lead the discussion. Thank God for the presence of the Holy spirit. Though I am dumb in speech and I can see that the whole session was filled by God's glory and mercies!!

Vivian, Joseph, ShiYun, Gaosheng and I just started to pour out more and made the effort to share. A good start =) Since we used church premises, we were forced to leave at 10pm. We reunioned with our buddy group @ Ah Mei for kopi. A nice fellowship. Glad to have everyone there, at least for myself , i never thought we will have such combination. Was super high after that CG. hee...

Then sat... went to J's hse ... hee.. while they are busily playing mahjong, I had fun at the kitchen. Hmm i dunno how to play mahjong and I dun wan to learn. Although ppl said mahjong is good for brain but hmmm... I think we, Christians shd be the insulators of the world. Ah well, friends never force me to play...hehe... We had fun chitchatting, cooking and serving :)

Yesterday... I pledge to God... hmm in term of how would I live to worship Him. I better keep my promise and work toward it. Hee....

TOnight going to be fun again!!!! Dinner at my place...keke... under dark blue sky...kekek

mix n match

How time flies.... it's now mid-July already.

Church has started off the 40dop campaign and everybody is quite occupied with the preparation and execution. Really hope that this campaign will somehow transform us in many little ways

It was a busy and tiring weekend. Went to Kent Ridge Park after CG ... Hmm the air there is like so fresh, not humid at all, no skyscrapers which block my views, only tree, benches, lights and people... I agree with what QY shared: Divine Encounter. It is a very important substance in everything in our lives. If it is not will by God, hoho... then you wait long long and bound to meet obstacles!!

Bro was off so we actually had a good chatting. Hmm he is getting married soon, in 3+ mths time. Can see his struggles and burdens.... good that we talk :D and hor... yesterday he helped me to clean the hse coz I gotta host a few frens at night. My bro is someone who will help with the chores lo... hehe...

Haiya, must mention this. Uncle LF is very kind and nice. He helped me to buy durian from KT!!! We din get to eat durian on Sun so i was quite disappointed. Then the next day when I was on my way home, ring ring ring... Where are you now? HOw many durians you want? What time you will reach home? Haa... then he chaffeur those durians to my hse.... kekek... Yummy!!! So touched by his kind gesture. So thoughtful!!! Thank God for this uncle

Last night, we had a simple dinner cum gathering at my place. CH, JJ, CY, SM, HC and myself. We had pasta, shredded chicken with foccacia bread, orange cereal raisin salad, egg, toto, lettuce, juice, layered ice-cream... kekeke... Thank God for giving me a chance to host my dear bro n sis from CCF. Hmm... all of us are foreigners and I think inviting them for dinner is a gd idea so as to give them a homely feel :D I imagine myself as a dajie... just like what tse sisters always do. They treat us well... so i must share out my love too...hehe

had Jap food for team lunch. Wowo... spend the money like nobody business. The APPLE ice cream ball i had costs 8 buck... duh, i din finish it... coz too full... what a waste :D

scanmap? copymap? printmode?
PN? PD? PB? Special media?
BPD? SD?

Hmm I dunno. A bit unclear with what am i going to do ar... commit 5 yrs? 5yrs? wowow... too much hearsay liao...

Anyway, i shd concentrate in learning what I shd now. Feel the peer pressure, i am not hardworking enough... duh...

Be faithful & press on

40 Dop - what on earth am I here for?

Yesterday was the kick off day, most people i.e. co worker were in Orange :) Hmm I think church has spent quite a bit on this campaign...

Anyway, I think God has a mission for me these days. Though the visibility not so high, maybe not much of recognition, but but I think this is where i should start from. A servant shd not be too calculative, he/she shd just do what he/she is asked to FAITHFULLY. Ultimately God is the our master and we are accountable to Him and what we do. May I continue to be His instrument and His ambassador...

Din I say that I wanted to be a bit low profile and be a faithful follower? This wld be a great opportunity !!!

-------------------

Went for the HK Youth convention wrap up meeting yesterday. I see God works in many ways. He reminds and teaches everyone in various ways and with different approaches. Good to hear some of the sharing, quite encouraging :)

Also I discover something.... hee.... :) K, shall keep in my prayer. God wills everything and I should just take my hands off. Be good, LY

Today... at the IPG expo....

I still get the same feeling but I couldn't do anything to it. What I can do is to accept the fact and be happy with it! Sound so sad and unwilling

God is good, and He always is...

I can feel my heart beat...and sense something unusual... but how? chey...

why give hope then just take away from me? I feel sad and miserable, at times

随走随传Preach as you go - part 1

我们一行共22人浩浩荡荡的前往香港参加第四届循道宗青年领袖大会。地点坐落于与世无争的新界，一所颇有乡味的香港中文大学。是次主题为“随走随传Preach as you go”。青年们各来自4个地区：香港，马来西亚，新加坡和台湾

<第19组>
我被编入第19组，组员分别来自东道主香港，西马，东马和新加坡。他们是Bobo, 马仔，Vivian, Shermon, Meilin, 震东，振达

1。Bobo - 组长。他的体贴叫人感到温暖和被爱，辛辛苦苦的爬上7楼为的是要递给我胶带供夜间野外独处之用。感动的心情简直不在话下。《顺道提一提，可爱的电梯在大会开始的当天失灵了，所以我们上下梯级的次数不胜其数！〉
2。马仔 - 17岁，中五的学生，长得挺有帅气的，很好意的帮我将行李提至7楼
3。Vivian - 感觉像文静的大姐，有内涵，容易亲近
4。Shermon - 蛮新的信徒，小组当中最小姐的一位
5。Mei Lin - 我们之中的小妹，样子甜美
6。冬冬- 最有分量的一位，不管是身形抑或是属灵见解
7。嗒嗒- 一位挺出色的青年领袖，他的华语和广东话极其标准

《筹委》
有可爱的和尚牧师和高大俊俏的“专业人士” - 两位都很有魅力！还有就是负责突破营的一位会吏，鼻梁上夹着一副太阳眼镜，有型极了！hee.... :)
