Prayer

When I get more quiet, I can usually hear more.
When I try to listem more, I always can see better.

There is something I need to change. It's hard but the only way to get better is to break the habit. It's hard to have both God and devil side by side because simply it doesn't work. So since I am still believing in God, then I know I need to stay away from the devil. Although it's hard but I think the power of the Lord is far greater than the devil's.

So Lord, please give me the strength to fight my struggles and guide me through the way. I know you are always by my side and walk with me.

I pray you that you clear my mind and let me have a quiet heart, so that I can hear you better and understand the mission you have given me. Next month there will be a mission trip to Sichuan and if this is your plan, please help me to clear all the obstacles and let me serve you like how I used to.

Thank you Lord!

Going through the motion

I just remember I have a blog! I haven't written anything in here for a long long time. Over the last couple of months, I have been busy with my band. We are recording our first album and since I am the one who record and produce so I have to learn alot of recording stuffs. Here I want to thank two persons: Chi and Nam who always help me through the recording process.

These days I am learning to wait. I know I have some distance with God now. While packing to move to new house, I saw stuffs that cching gave me. I still think of her sometimes, I wonder why would we break up. It's a big lesson to learn but it's also a tough one. Then listening to the song "Moon" that Sung Ling sent me, I also thought about her and wondered how's she doing now in Taiwan. I think I really need some quiet time not to think of any relationship stuffs because for the last few years, living in HK I haven't been able to stop and think. This is such a rush city with high pace.

Maybe next month when I get to go to Beijing, I can find my own pace and try to go back to the basic.

劉翔

It's not hard to fall, but it's very hard to go back up after your fall. After reading the interview Liu made, I really respect him alot and I hope that he can soon be back to the track field. He needs our support and helping hands.

劉翔：不能怨天尤人
(明報)8月19日 星期二 10:20

中國「欄王」劉翔表示，對於昨日退出奧運110米欄預賽，感到非常抱歉，但他一定要樂觀一點。

劉翔接受中央電視台訪問時表示，有太多人關心及支持他，他感到非常抱歉，但實在沒有辦法。他表示，從準備活動開始我的腳就覺得不行，連慢跑都感到痛。

他指出，在前兩個星期的測試中自己還跑出了12秒9幾的成績，他也想頂下去，但擔心他的腳跟腱。

在要退出一刻，他說：「那個時候真的是，無法形容的感覺，我想，我真的要在北京奧運會預賽就出局嗎？但是事實就是這樣，不過我還是比較冷靜的。」

劉翔稱，他一定要樂觀一點，不能怨天尤人，現時最重要是治理好腳部傷勢，將來仍有機會。

食魚子醬黑松露 八國峰會18碟佳餚豪宴捱轟

食魚子醬黑松露 八國峰會18碟佳餚豪宴捱轟 (明報) 07月 09日 星期三 05:10AM

【明報專訊】今年八國峰會其中一個主要議題為全球糧食危機。八國領袖一邊高談糧價上漲、糧食短缺及非洲貧窮的解決之道，但另一邊卻飽嘗東道主日本安排的18碟盛宴佳餚，包括魚子醬、黑松露、北海道毛蟹等！這份極盡奢華的晚宴菜單，招來抨擊。

毛蟹宴每位耗3000港元

周二晚宴的主題是「北海道，對地球和海洋的祝福」，合共8道菜式18碟佳餚，包括魚子醬、煙三文魚海膽、燒羊肉配黑松露等；就是午餐也有5道菜，包括白露筍松露湯、杏仁油毛蟹配青橄欖醬、釀雞腿等。負責的主廚是日本首位獲得米芝蓮評級的大廚中村勝宏。周三晚上領袖會繼續享用價值逾3000港元一餐的毛蟹宴，以及約800港元1公斤的小龍蝦。

只在幾天前，英國首相白高敦才呼籲國民不要浪費食物，當局的研究小組更稱英國家庭每年浪費總計大約400萬噸糧食。救助兒童會的發言人說「在世界上百萬計人都不得安飽的時候，如此揮霍實在非常偽善」。

舉辦這次八國峰會所費不菲。會議耗資逾43億港元，這筆錢足夠購買1億個蚊帳，讓非洲人民避免染上瘧疾，單是在峰會後將拆卸的國際媒體中心，建築費也達3.7億港元，另還未計當局出動2萬警員的保安花費。

提出2050年前廢氣減排一半

八國元首昨就減排廢氣達成共識，提出2050年前將二氧化碳等溫室氣體排放量比「現狀」減少一半的「世界整體目標」，又一致同意制訂2020年的中期減排目標，惟並無任何實質路線圖。日本首相福田康夫也承認，八國集團的共識中，溫室氣體減半的基準年，已不再是《京都議定書》所定的1990年，而變為語義含糊的「現狀」。共議協議也沒觸及各國關於2020年中期減排目標的具體數字。

Unlike the Other Gathering

Everyone showed up last night except Tap. I guess you are sad or something. My friend, I hope you are doing fine!

We had dinner at Suzuki Langham Place. The meal was good and we had a very good time. Mac came back and he will move back to HK after over a year away from HK (?!?). Actually I haven't seen them for a long time. Though our friendship always remains!

We talked about you too Cching, I expressed our situation and things happened after we broke up. Seriously, whatever I said was a past. I never regret our times together even the time we fought. If we didn't care or didn't have feeling for another, we wouldn't have fought. I just think that I wasn't mature when I met you. My love for you was so little. Anyway, I wish you all the best because after all, you treated me very good. I hope that one day when both of us can really forgive and forget, we can talk again and maybe even be friends.

Shows, Sichuan And People Around Us

For all the people who came to the Shu Yan show on last Saturday. Sorry our set was cut short due to some issues. I won't try to name names but there was a band who didn't show up at soundcheck and it caused the show to over-run. Let's give some support to the Shu Yan students because they worked hard to organize this show for everyone.

Next, our band played pretty bad that night. For my part, I was too emotional driven and I coudln't clam myself down. Before we started our set, I told all my bandmates that since it's the first time we played a show after the earthquake, so I wanted to dedicate the show to the people who died or survive. When we played "Po Liu", our last song, my head was images of Sichuan earthquake and I thought we people in HK are way too lucky to have the luxury playing expensive musicial equipments. I had this gulity feeling with me for awhile now you know?!?

Anyway, I hope you enjoy all the great bands from last night and I hope that we all remember that we can give alot to the people who need, starting the people around you.

Buffet Dinner

Such a nice view of Hong Kong! Took this picture after buffet dinner with my colleagues at Marco Polo. It was a nice dinner and we had a really fun time together! It's so nice to have good colleagues becoming friends!

Food from TW

Taiwan 3/22-26

It was a great trip to Taiwan! I went to Taipei, Tainan, Keelong. This time I got to visit some music places that I didn't go last time. The Wall was a great place to watch a show, although you told me this place's sound isn't that great. You know, HK doesn't even have a place as close as The Wall. I also went to a big music store but instruments in TW are more expensive than HK so I guess I am lucky to live in HK. I lived in different places from some poor motel to some nice hotel. It's all good to me because I was with you. Well, this time I didn't eat so much but I still had some good food! Anyway, we had a very great time and may God bless both of us! Your arm will be ok so don't worry be happy.

Some 9 Years Old Students... WTF

一批9歲小學生全副武裝圖謀害女教師
(星島) 04月 02日 星期三 02:14PM

美國揭發一宗駭人聽聞的學生企圖謀害老師事件，喬治亞州一批只有9歲大的小學生，膽大包天，竟然攜帶全副武器和裝備，包括一把折斷了的牛扒刀、手扣和膠布返回學校，密謀傷害一名老師。幸而他們未真正採取行動，便及時遭到制止。該批小學生一共9人，在喬治亞州韋克羅斯鎮的中心小學（Center Elementary School）內就讀。有一名學童上周五向老師舉報，聲稱見到有同學攜帶武器進入校園內，多名老師採取行動，對該批嫌疑學生進行問話和搜查，及時粉碎了他們的襲擊陰謀，並報警求助。　韋克羅斯鎮警方發言人卡斯韋爾稱，該批學生要襲擊的對象，是一名教授他們的女教師。別看他們年紀小小，他們行事之前制訂了一套計劃，首先用手扣把該名女教師鎖起，然後用膠布封著她的嘴巴，再用紙鎮重擊她的頭部，必要時可能用牛扒刀割她。不過，卡斯韋爾稱，部分學生聲稱，那把牛扒刀不是用來傷人，只是用來割斷膠布。即時未知道該批學生為何要對付該名女教師。

Horse the Band Show

The show was awesome! I think we played pretty well tonight except some minor mistakes here and there! Horse the Band was awesome, definitely has its own song! Oh yeah, Chi asked me to sing the end part of Refuse. That was cool!

Hey Henry, I think it's time to make baby! :) I think it's your turn because Scott and Andy both gave birth to their babies few months ago.

患厭食症女子剩50磅昏迷送院

To all my friends specially the girls, please read this if you are desperate to lose weight. This is one sad story!

患厭食症女子剩50磅昏迷送院
(明報) 02月 10日 星期日 05:05AM

【明報專訊】一名21歲女子疑患上厭食症致體重僅餘約50磅，昨日在黃大仙 竹園南鸷寓所不支昏迷，家人發現大驚報警求助，女事主由救護車送院，情況危殆。

患厭食症女事主姓廖，21歲，送院時體重剩餘約50磅，瘦骨嶙峋、嚴重營養不良，一度情況危殆，經搶救後情況嚴重。

消息稱，廖女與家人同住竹園南鸷富園樓某室，原本體重90多磅，疑患上厭食症，近月體重劇降只剩餘約50磅，經常暈眩不適，嚴重營養不良達危險線。昨晚約9時，疑廖女體力不支昏迷，家人發現她呼吸非常微弱，大驚報警送院救治。

有專家指出，差不多逾九成進食失調症患者也是由減肥引起，因近年時下非常流行纖體，不少廣告也大力鼓吹「瘦即是美」，令減肥成風，一些價值觀仍未確立的青少年便很容易受廣告和朋友影響，認同瘦即是美而減肥，但部分人可能因過度減肥，以致患上進食失調症（厭食症或暴食症）。

Wishes of 2008

We share our wishes of 2008 during G-ONE VSG today. My wishes are these:

To learn the true love is, to love the way like Jesus does. It's a tough lesson God taught me. It sounds simple but quite hard to do, especially for me who didn't know what is love. It's so easy to say I love you but can you still love someone if he/she hurt you? Or can you accept someone's fault because you love him/her? Over the years, I have hurt so many people! I hope that in the future I will not hurt anyone anymore.

I hope that I can work hard against my sin. It's not an easy task but if I pray hard, rely on God; then I should be able to get better and better and eventually I should be over it!

I need to learn how to manage my money! Talked to a sister last night I realized that I never tried to manage my money wisely. I think it's time that I need to do it. Maybe when someone told me she didn't feel secure or didn't see a future with me, it's because I didn't have any plan for my future. I hope that by starting to save up money, I can make some plans for my future.

Church

Went to the church for a bible study course. The topic is "Church" and we are going to read Acts 使徒行傳.

Here are something that I learn from the class today:

Church is not 禮拜堂.
Church is not a building.
Church is not a club.
But a place to worship God.
It doesn't matter where it is.
It doesn't matter the number of people

As long as you and I go to the church, that church becomes non-perfect, because we are all sinners!

And also each church has a different mission, so we go to the one that shares the same mission as we do.

My Thumb

I cut part of my thumb tip off at the office. Yeah it was totally off! Blood splashed all over the table and I was in pain. I saw the sharp cut on the thumb and some tissue inside. I was shocked and was feeling even worse. Later the ambulance came and sent me to the hospital. After awhile, I went at the operation room. The doctor sewed back the tip onto my thumb. When they cleaned the wound and gave me injections. It was the worst feeling of my life. It was so much pain! After my thumb got numb, then it was alright. I spent a night at the hospital because they wanted to make sure I won't have any fever or shit.

Thanks God I am ok now and thank y'all who called and sent me message!

p.s. As you see from the photo, the thumb was tied pretty hard during the operation that the shape changed.

12.23.2001

I was baptized in 12.23.2001.

For the last 6 years, I was blessed by God! I had ups and downs but after all, I am still alive and kicking! Thanks God who gave me everything in the past no matter it's good or bad experience! I also have to thank Him for my recent experience because it really helps me to learn to be a better man. I think if I rely on Him, walk like Jesus, I should be a better person.

A Different Thought?

To whoever that is having a tough time right now, the following may help you to have a different thought.

約伯記
10:13 然而你待我的這些事，早已藏在你心裡，我知道你久有此意。
10:14 我若犯罪，你就察看我，並不赦免我的罪孽。

你若發現自己懷疑神，就應想到你並不知道全部的事實。神只想給你最豐盛的生命。許多人要忍耐巨大的痛苦，但最後他們會發現更加美好的東西。你在掙扎的時候，別往最壞處想。(from 靈修版聖經)

Job 2:13

Today I learn something from reading Job.

約伯記
2:13 他們就同他七天七夜坐在地上，一個人也不向他說句話，因為他極其痛苦。

我們常以為對一個受傷害的朋友總要說些甚麼屬靈和深奧的話，然而人為的回答和客套話，並不比同情的沉默和關愛的陪伴更有效果。 (from 靈修版聖經)

Now I learn that we don't always have to say too much to comfort people, sometimes time being quiet, stay there and listen are good enough!

Still Can't... But

Actually I don't think I can't bury my love for her. After all, we really had gone through alot of good and bad times. After all, I still care about her. I guess I don't need to bury my love, probably just learn to love a person another way, which is to wish her well and to keep distance from her.

Now I need to turn my love to God. I believe that by focusing my love to Him, the result will only be a good one cos I still believe He will provide the best for me.

I am starting to read Job now so I hope to learn that how Job can rely on God through all the bad times!
