My Feeling for China

2009-06-05T00:51:00.001+08:00

I believe love is the key to success in China.

I was 15 when I saw the incident on TV. I knew what's going on. Be it right or wrong, good or bad. So after 20 years, seeing the country is getting better (in some ways), I feel proud to be a Chinese. At 16 I moved to Canada and I felt that my Chinese root became less and less, to a point that I felt I was Canadian Chinese.

5 years ago I came back to Hong Kong try to find my Chinese root. Having lived in Hong Kong and visiting China in the past 5 years, I got to find my Chinese blood and root. I believe that the Chinese government needs to do something to help change the country to be a better one.

Often time we focus strongly on economy and business, but we forget the moral in one's heart. Seeing so much news about the corrupted government and the businessmen in China really make me sick. But thinking about it I can relate to them because no one person wants to be poor. However we cannot be greedy. It’s sad because I believe babies were born with naïve hearts. It was our surroundings that influence us to who we are today. With the government focusing on the economy and business, we start to think money is the most important.

So let us start to think again. Is that money or love that is most important to us?

suen la... don't have "average knowledge" with them

S J~
!!

Joe Mensheng
hk has many "well's frog"...
they know very little but they act pro

S J~
我認同喲!!!!

Joe Mensheng
although i don't want to compare, but the 13 years i lived in Canada, i found that people know more stuffs over there
like they know stuffs with more details
here, everything is fast fast fast... u dont need to know the reason
just do it
but that's stupid
u won't learn from just doing w/o getting inside

S J~
係喲..

Joe Mensheng
but in another way, if u think of HK as a small city.. then u will know u can't compare with a big country
even though 6 million is alot of people, but compare to a county, not that many

S J~
係喲...
唉...都唔明點解會咁~

Joe Mensheng
i have a bit idea
because this is a capitalism city
it's money driven city
so we are very caught up with new stuffs
HK has ALOT of nice cars

S J~
噢~

Joe Mensheng
from our childhood, we've been told what is good standard
so everyone is chasing that "dream"
which is to make good money, buy a nice house, buy nice furniture, nice clothes and etc

S J~
噢~~~

Joe Mensheng
the city is getting so extreme that poor gets poorer and rich gets richer

S J~
係喲!!!絕對係喲!

Joe Mensheng
so we have to squeeze every dollar we can
so how are we going to get the money from the same pool
is by taking others' money
so rich corporate people with the money power also supported by our gov't is squeezing us with high priced housing
the money we earn all goes there

S J~
ic

Joe Mensheng
u know with my salary, i can't get a "gov't house" or "1/2 gov't house"
i have to buy "private" house
which is fucking expensive
now what happen in my situation is

S J~
嘩~~~~~~

Joe Mensheng
we bought a 1/2 gov't owned house at Lam Tin... with only my dad's application
w/o my name
so this way we qualified to get the house
understand mah?

S J~
我明喲~

Joe Mensheng
this is a trendy city so everyone is chasing similar stuffs
lots of business, lots of money
little art, little music

S J~
!!

Joe Mensheng
radio station, tv stations all hook up with record labels
so radio/tv stations play their songs on tv.. and record label artists go to their shows to perform
why would radio station wants to play some "so called" singer???
radio dj really don't know what's good and bad? i don't think so but they have no choice cos they were told what songs to play
u can hear same song, 7, 8 times in different program
ridiculous

S J~
係喲...

Joe Mensheng
rock music is so popular that it plays everywhere in the world
but hardly in hk

S J~
唉..係咁喲!!

Joe Mensheng
so forget about blues, jazz, country, alternative, hardcore, metal, trip hop
punk, electronica, hip hop, rap

S J~
唉...

Joe Mensheng
yeah they have some pop hiphop
cos it's the trend
and then gov't suggests us what's art or music
western opera, classical music, western plays...
not to offend u since u r a piano teacher
but there should be more than this
u know in Singapore?
their gov't supported a tattoo festival...

S J~
係咩!!

Joe Mensheng
this will never happened in hk
yea

S J~
係咁啦!!!!!性文化展覽都只係搞過兩年~

Joe Mensheng
yeah... our kids are learning sex through av... and that's why our kids are worse and worse
cos they don't know
everyone loves sex but it's about love within

S J~
1yeah

Joe Mensheng
oh well...
maybe i should copied what i said and post on my blog haha

S J~
!!!

Joe Mensheng
i should copy your story too haha

S J~
嘩...好喲!!!!

Working Hard

2009-04-29T18:58:00.001+08:00

These days I've been working so hard! I always hope that I have more time like 32 hours a day so I can sleep more. Mensheng is getting better as a band through the recording session. A big thank to my bro Chi because he's taught us alot through his producing with us. Now we still have 3 more songs to record and hopefully we can bring along our CDs to the Taiwan tour in July. Guys from Vanish, I can't wait to see you all again! Let's add oil and rock on!

My Brothers from All Over!

2009-04-19T01:37:00.002+08:00

What a good time to spend during last weekend. Having Chia Chia from Taiwan, Bill from Guangzhou and Mandy from New Zealand coming over for visiting. Oh yeah, and the usual Macau bros Kent and Egas. Sometimes I wonder what if all these friends are living in HK, I think that will be so dope.

We have so many plans in the future! Now it's just a matter for hard work and luck. I think we can do something great in upcoming years together as long as our brotherhood stay strong.

Guys let's go!

Some Old Photos of Tap Mun Trip

2009-04-16T10:23:00.005+08:00

I had a very relaxing trip to Tap Mun few months ago. Soon I will need to go on another trip like that again!

New TV Tonight!

2009-02-18T18:59:00.002+08:00

Tonight will have a technician coming over to install the tv on the wall of my bedroom! So yeah I am gonna stay home more! haha... Now with the PS3 and the HDTV I am gonna rent more blu ray to watch. I watched the Batman Dark Knight which was really great. The color the sharpness are just awesome! Oh yeah, there are couple games I want to get for the PS3, one being the new Street Fighter 4 which I think it looks super good! Oh yeah I wanna know how's the online playing for this game. It would be good to catch up some old friends and fight against each other!

Chinese New Year Trip

2009-02-05T16:42:00.003+08:00

Finally I made a visit to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Two cities that I wanted to visit for sometimes. I wish I had more times to stay specially KL. I really enjoyed my trip there as I met so many great people. Thanks all my new friends who showed me around. One of the reasons I wanted to go to these two places is that I wanted to discover more the Chinese culture. These 2 years I am trying to find my Chinese root as I was away from Hong Kong for such a long time. Now that I have been to quite a few cities with high Chinese population, I really have learned more about my culture. Coming years I think I will like to go to China more because other than Guangzhou and Shenzhen, I really haven't been to other cities of China. My next stop should be Bejing.

Okay here are some photos that I took from my SG/KL trip, if you want to see more photos, go to my facebook album, take care!

Happy New Year Y'all

2009-02-05T16:18:00.004+08:00

Well, It's been a few months I haven't written in this blog. I don't know why but I guess I just didn't have the motivation to write anything. I don't even know who's still come back and wish to read this blog.

But since it's a new year so I am going to write a bit here now. The last few months I guess I had some ups and downs. Good moments were the time my band Mensheng toured with Vanish in South China with other supporting bands. You know 4 shows in 4 days aren't that easy for us but it was a very good memory that will always in my heart for the rest of my life. We have met so many people during the tour and I really enjoyed being with some warm kind hearted people.

For the low part, I guess I have already forgotten them as I am not a person who always live with regrets. In the past year, I guess I had some worst times in my life and I am glad they are all gone now. So this coming year I hope everything will turn out to be great. I do have some wishes for 2009: being healthy and get well, be a stronger person who can take more responsible, my band can get to another level specially when it comes to playing live, people around me are getting happy everyday and the most important I hope that our world is going to be a better one.

So take care y'all and until next time, God bless!

Prayer

2008-10-23T18:00:00.005+08:00

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

2008-09-26T18:15:00.003+08:00

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.

2008-08-19T11:17:00.002+08:00

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

2008-06-26T18:42:00.003+08:00

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

2008-06-04T12:40:00.001+08:00

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.

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

2008-04-02T15:44:00.002+08:00

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

患厭食症女子剩50磅昏迷送院

2008-02-10T14:49:00.000+08:00

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

2008-01-28T00:26:00.000+08:00

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

2008-01-16T22:59:00.000+08:00

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

2008-01-16T22:44:00.000+08:00

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

2008-01-10T23:18:00.000+08:00

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?

2008-01-09T23:42:00.000+08:00

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

2008-01-04T00:30:00.000+08:00

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

2008-01-03T21:33:00.000+08:00

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!

A Long Good Talk

2007-12-31T03:12:00.000+08:00

Thanks Hoi Man who talked to me about faith, life and relationship for 2 hours under the cold weather. You really helped me alot to think about just myself. Please take care of her and help her to go through her problems. She really needs friends to support her. Thanks God that He sent me an angel to talk to me and give me some insight. Now I will try to get closer and closer to God. I will leave the relationship behind me.

For the past 1 1/2 month, I really have to thank alot of brothers and sisters who helped me through my struggles. I will never forget you guys.

God, please let me be closer to you and understand you more everyday!

After all, I need to...

2007-12-29T01:16:00.000+08:00

give up, let go and bury my love for her.

Merry Christmas

2007-12-25T13:23:00.000+08:00

It was a wonderful Christmas night! Last night I joined my church to have the Christmas carol. It's actually my first time if not wrong. I even brought the acoustic guitar out! We gave gifts to the people on the street too.

Then we went back to church to worship! During the sermon God again tells me to wait and be patient. Yes many times I heard that but I just couldn't stop to think and react. Therefore I bumped into troubles alot in the last month. But thanks God, once again He reminds me that I need to learn to listen to him and follow his time line. It's not easy but I think this is the only exit for me now!

Last night was also a memorial night because I bought my church cell group friends to Mensheng bandroom. I told them the history for this place and we prayed for it. We prayed that God will use this place to glorify him and we prayed that my bandmates from Mensheng will open up their ears/eyes to hear/see the gospel through me and become Christian one day! God has his plan so I am relying on Him. At the same time, I have to be better and to let them to see my life, the life that Jesus saves.

Letter to You, God

2007-12-21T16:58:00.000+08:00

Dear God,

Are you listening to me? I have been feeling sad for a long time now. I have no clue why she and I started the relationship at the first place, but I did think it was you God who put us together. Or maybe we didn't pray enough to clarify? Now that we aren't together and was it your allowance that we had to break up? I won't blame you God because it was our selfishness to break up. I blamed myself for not asking your permission. I also blame myself for having a stone-cold heart because she gave us chance before to get back but I refused. For the first 4 months after we broke up, we bumped at each other 5 times, every time I acted like nothing but deep inside I felt sad.

I met girls and I even dated them but when I got closer to them, I started to miss her more. I had to stop seeing those people because I knew it was her that I was so in love with. I looked at our pictures, movie clips and gifts but now those are only memories that couldn't be extended anymore.

And now reading her blog knowing she got unhappy because of someone (not me) from her past, I got jealous and even wondered why she would still be sad. I know she loved me but now she told me she was annoyed when she finally listened to my call last Sunday. Am I really that bad God? I know I have bad temper but why didn't she appreciate the good things I did for her? I never cheated on her like her exs did. I care for her so I would tell her the truth instead of of ignore her like her exs did. Yes, I treated her bad at times, cursed at her for few times and even hit her arm for one time, so that's the reason you let us apart? Now her love for me is dead. God, what's going on? I am not blaming her but she had every right to give up on me.

Someone said God gives us freewill while others suggest God has his plan. I don't know the answer because maybe I am not close enough to you God, but I am trying now! You know it's hard because I am afraid that the reason behind is her not you God. So please give me the strength because I am weak and I am lost. Help me to clear my mind that it was you that I want to rely on and nothing else. I hope that one day I will finally understand you.

Thanks,
Joe

God Answers

Last night at cell group, we talked about praying. These days I am trying to learn the true praying. God knows everything but He still wants to hear from us. Sometimes I am afraid to tell Him what I want because maybe I don't have enough faith or simply I am just too logical. The brothers from group told me that I can just pray from my heart because the holy spirit will lead me the way. I still hope that one day we can get back to each other; I know God listens and I think sooner I will know his answer more and more. No matter what's the outcome, I am sure He will give me the best thing that I can never think of.

Anyway, reading the bible today it seems like God answers me with this verse from Matthew 21:21-22

21:21 耶穌回答說：“我實在告訴你們：你們若有信心，不疑惑，不但能行無花果樹上所行的事，就是對這座山說：‘你挪開此地，投在海裡！ ’也必成就。
21:22 你們禱告，無論求甚麼，只要信，就必得著。”

(From http://www.chinesebible.org.hk/)
耶穌這樣說，那我豈不是祈求甚麼都可以得到？
21:22　這裡並不是保證只要我們向耶穌祈求並相信，就可以得到我們想要得到的一切，神不會應允那些會傷害我們或別人的祈求，及那些違反祂的本性和意願的事情。耶穌的話並不是一張“空白支票”。我們的祈禱必須與神國度的原則一致，我們的信心越強，我們的祈禱就越能符合神的旨意，神亦會很樂意應允這些禱告。

Matthew 18:35

2007-12-06T00:41:00.000+08:00

18:35 你們各人若不從心裡饒恕你的弟兄，我天父也要這樣待你們了。

不是不想饒恕，只是內心總有點甚麼，不能釋然……你有甚麼辦法？
18:35　因為神已經寬恕了我們所有的罪，我們不應該不肯寬恕別人。既知道基督完全赦免我們，我們就可以自由地以寬容的態度去饒恕別人。不肯饒恕別人的，就是自高，並把自己置於基督的慈愛律法以外了。

Matthew 18:15-17

2007-12-06T00:38:00.000+08:00

18:15 倘若你的弟兄得罪你，你就去趁著只有他和你在一處的時候，指出他的錯來。他若聽你，你便得了你的弟兄；
18:16 他若不聽，你就另外帶一兩個人同去，要憑兩三個人的口作見證，句句都可定準。
18:17 若是不聽他們，就告訴教會；若是不聽教會，就看他像外邦人和稅吏一樣

在心中計較著別人的錯，又不敢當面說清楚，反反覆覆，怎麼辦好……
18:15-17　這是耶穌給我們的指引，幫助我們面對攻擊我們的人。這些人可能（1）是基督徒，而不是非信徒；（2）偏偏得罪你；（3）在教會中引起衝突紛爭。耶穌說這話，並不是准許我們正面攻擊每一個傷害或藐視我們的人，也不是准許我們在教會散播謠言或進行教會審訊，這些教訓是為了使彼此不和的人能夠和好，以至所有信徒都可以和睦共處。當人觸犯了我們，我們往往會違反耶穌的吩咐，心中充滿怒氣和仇恨，要尋求報復或用言語來中傷觸犯我們的人。但照主的吩咐，我們應該到那人那裡去，一次又一次地原諒他（18:21-22）；這是極難做到的，但卻讓我們有更好的機會去建立良好的人際關係。

A Special Dinner

2007-11-29T00:20:00.000+08:00

Why a special dinner? Because tonight I got to share my story to a friend who is having some struggles in life. I can't believe how amazing God is because he used me to share with her. She's an ex colleague from my first job in HK 4 years ago. Her relationship problem is leading her to losing faith in God. God is so amazing because our dinner is on Wednesday night, but if the dinner is before Monday, I wouldn't have share the same thing to her.

So my friend I will pray for you and please give yourself to God.

God Love Me

2007-11-27T00:55:00.000+08:00

Finally I see some lights in my life. Now I realize what God is doing on my life. I know that the new "Joe" is waiting ahead. Now I am going to build a strong relationship with God and fully rely on Him. With Him, I think I can go through all the struggles.

Again I have to thank all the brothers and sisters who talked to me and prayed for me.

Of course, I have to thank you God!

This coming Saturday, Mensheng will go to Guangzhou to play a show. It will be our first time to play outside of Hong Kong. We are very lucky to get this opportunity because Mensheng is such a new band that very little people have heard of. We still have a long way to go but again, thanks everyone who supports us.

Matthew 8:2-3

2007-11-22T23:05:00.000+08:00

8:2 有一個長大痲瘋的來拜他，說：“主若肯，必能叫我潔淨了。”
8:3 耶穌伸手摸他說：“我肯，你潔淨了吧！”他的大痲瘋立刻就潔淨了。

8:2-3　痲瘋是一種可怕的皮膚傳染病，當時沒有治愈之法。人染上這種病，祭司就會正式宣告此人是痲瘋病人並把他遷出家園和城市，讓他與其他痲瘋病人一起生活，直到他痊愈或死去。當這個痲瘋病人哀求耶穌醫治他時，耶穌不怕他皮膚上那令人懼怕的病菌，伸手摸他。正如痲瘋病一樣，罪也是不治之症，而我們全都患上此病。惟有基督的撫摸和醫治才能奇妙地除去我們的罪，使我們復原。不過我們首先要像這個痲瘋病人一樣，先承認自己無能力醫治自己，並祈求基督的拯救和幫助。

Matthew 6

2007-11-22T01:59:00.000+08:00

Started bible reading couple weeks ago, but seems like after a few days I would forgot. Anyway, talked to my group leader from church, he suggested me to read the New Testament first so here I am starting Matthew. Found these few lines which I should always remember:

6:14 你們饒恕人的過犯，你們的天父也必饒恕你們的過犯；
6:15 你們不饒恕人的過犯，你們的天父也必不饒恕你們的過犯。

6:34 不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮；一天的難處一天當就夠了。

A Better Man

2007-11-18T21:04:00.000+08:00

It is too much a lesson to learn.

All the times I know that my temper has caused alot of troubles. No matter it's with my family, friends or my love. I know that I have upset them in a lot of ways. I am a control freak that I must scare alot of people away.

I know you probably don't want to be with me. I still hope that one day you will give me a chance.

God, please give me the strength to fix my problems. I don't know why I am such an angry person with too much the temper. Please release me and give me the peace of mind that I seek.

God, please make me a better man and please take care cching.

Loser

2007-11-17T15:01:00.000+08:00

I lost you.

Hurt

2007-11-17T13:17:00.000+08:00

We all go hurt by people around us. Sometimes I hurt you, sometimes you hurt me. We all think that we could be stronger but at the same times we could become weaker.

I am hurt.

Tire

2007-11-17T04:43:00.000+08:00

Little thing she posted on the net could still got me! Why am I still have that missing feeling? I am mentally tire! Maybe I still miss her, I dont know!

The good thing is tonight I treated my best friend Murphy for his birthday. Due to my grandmom's funeral, I have to wait till today to get the chance to treat him. Can't believe we have met for over 25 years now. Wish you all the best Mur!

Confused, Upset and Angry

2007-11-15T22:54:00.000+08:00

It has been 4 months that we broke up. Why would I got upset when I saw her blog saying birthday to someone and wishing that person sweet and happy, but at the end she had the hard feeling. Somewhat I got angry too because why would she missing that person? I think she didn't love me that much because even now she still couldn't get over that someone.

Muizi Video

2007-11-11T23:17:00.000+08:00

This is an old video I took with my old mobile phone. You can see how lovely Muizi is. It's not easy to teach her the moves!

Hey, I am back...

2007-11-10T00:54:00.000+08:00

I haven't updated my blog for over 2 months. Part of the reasons is that my computer was never home because I needed to use it for recording at the bandroom. After the recording, I was just too lazy to move it back till last night!

Now I just got home from my grandmother's funeral. I feel exhausted. Tomorrow we will go to the cemetery in the morning. It will be another long day.

Hi grandmom, I will see you again in heaven!

Thank You All

2007-09-13T00:34:00.001+08:00

Back with the Number 10 Shirt

2007-09-11T10:25:00.000+08:00

No More no.7...

Wearing back the no.10 shirt, Ronaldinho put on a good show against USA. He scored twice and led Brazil to beat USA 4-2.

I always think Ronaldinho is a guy who deserves the no.10 because he has been the best Brazilian player for few years. Not saying KaKa is not good but he just doesn’t have that flair, creativity that Ronnie has.

I hope that Ronnie will back to his highest form because we need guys like him in football.

New Job

2007-09-04T17:16:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow will start my new job at Jardine House at Central. Hopefully things will turn out great this time. The work hour should be ok maybe some harsh OT during the peak season. Oh yeah, the company does mostly annual reports and newsletter for big corporate and small size company. For me I will just have to create the cover and the layout. Then the production team will insert the text.

It's Friday Night

2007-09-01T03:55:00.000+08:00

Met Tsui and other guys for Tsui and Sze's wedding briefing. It's good to see that they are getting married. God's amazing because He put these two different people together, not only that, He also mold them into ONE. It's my honor to be Tsui's brother for the wedding! Can't believe that we have met for over 6 years. Add oil Tsui!

After the briefing, went back to bandroom to meet the MS guys. We talked about Mensheng's direction such as joinning the competiton, releasing a single, playing more and more shows etc. It's good that we all have the same direction which is to take this band as far as we can. I believe that we will be better and better as long as we work hard.

Dusk sent me this photo she took before the 8.18 show.

New Song

2007-08-25T12:30:00.000+08:00

It feels good to write new songs and last night we wrote a new song! We just need more time to finish it up and adjust all the minor parts and details. So this new tune is a heavy one and I think it's gonna be interesting to play.

Twisted Sight

2007-08-21T15:15:00.000+08:00

After the 8.18 Show

2007-08-19T14:31:00.000+08:00

So thank y'all for coming to the show last night! It was awesome to see so many people turn up! I thank you all for supporting us! Last night Fish, Dusk and Apple sent me some photos and I picked some I like from them and to upload here to show u the MOMENT.

Finally 8.18

2007-08-18T00:27:00.000+08:00

Finally it's 8.18 and we are ready for the show. It will be our first test. I think many of our friends will come and see. Anyway, I hope we will put up a great show for all of you.

Oh yeah the stickers are ready so we will hand them out. Make sure you will get one if you come see the show!

Good Night!!!

單純無辜像小孩的清徹眼神

2007-08-14T19:22:00.000+08:00

A friend told me I have some sort of 單純無辜像小孩的清徹眼神. I really have no clue. I just guess maybe because I am a simple person without much ambition. Anyway , I do wish that inside I am as naive as a little kid because kids are always enjoying their life without worrying too much things happening around.

myspace.com/mensheng

2007-08-14T01:58:00.001+08:00

So we finally uploaded two songs to http://myspace.com/mensheng

The recording session last quite long and finally we got to finish the recording. Actually there is still one more song to do but only the vocal recording. We will probably upload the 3rd song later this week. It was a tiring weekend but I really enjoyed every moment of it because I got to learn alot recording stuffs. Here I gotta thanks Chi and Zams who have taught me alot these few days! Thanks dudes!

So Let's Rock this world Mensheng!

Finally we got our logo done! Thanks to our guitarist Billy's mom who hand written both the Chinese and English words for us. She's pretty good isn't she? We all like this logo very much. The Strong Chinese with Lighter English really reflect our music style: heavy mix soft

Danny's New Bass

2007-07-29T02:55:00.000+08:00

Went to Tom Lee with Danny to choose his new bass. After couple hours trying and playing, he bought the Ibanez MDB which is a signature series of Killswitch Engage bassist Mike D'Antonio. The bass looks pretty good it has a custom graphic on it. Danny, you gotta practice hard with this new bass because we need everyone to step up to push Mensheng to the limit!
http://www.ibanez.com/bass/guitar.aspx?m=MDB1

Finished watching 向左愛.向右愛 from icable. Good movie with a good story line. I think I really enjoy watching Korean movies.

Haven't slept well these few days so hopefully will have a good sleep tonight.

8.18 Show

2007-07-23T17:09:00.000+08:00

Mensheng First Show

2007-07-22T01:27:00.000+08:00

Tonight is the night! We Mensheng played our songs for the first time in the public. It's an unofficial show but still some friends end up coming to support! Thanks alot pal! We will do another unofficial show in 8/3. Then we will play our first official show in 8/18! It will be a wicked show because there will also be An Id Signal, Die In Velvet, Chock Ma, Tie Shu Lan. It will be a loud heavy show so if you enjoy this type of music, make sure you come to the Warehouse at Aberdeen!

Nothing Much

2007-07-02T10:44:00.000+08:00

Haven't done much on 7/1. Just stay home with my dog Muizi and rest. Watched some movies and that's about it. Dog Bite Dog is a good movie. Edison really tries to work hard and be a good actor/singer. Before I went to sleep, watched Kill Bill 1 and what can you say, it's such a cool movie that you can go back to watch again and again to see some new things. So after this post I will watch the Kill Bill 2.

Got Fired

2007-06-30T02:59:00.000+08:00

Not much to write these days because I have been quite busy until yesterday. I was fired from work. Why? Pretty simple because of the office politics. Anyway, It's a new day and I need to look up and be positive. Good is that they pay me an extra month to fire me. Actually if not they fired me, I would quit my job by the end of the year anyway cos I really don't like the people from my department. Just bunch of unprofessional people who play with their power and talk behind back. Oh yeah, why those people are like that? Simply because my manager is like that too. Anyway, when HR talked to me about my termination, I let them know what I saw from my department. Of course they know what happened but what can they do? Cos my manager has alot of power so everyone pays respect to her but do they really like her?

I told them next time they should hire a girl who gossip because being the only man in the department, I feel that they never let me to get into their circle.

So thanks for the money and firing me and I will get a better job!

Some update

2007-06-19T01:30:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile I haven't updated my blog. Number 1 is that my home's internet connection was lost for some days. Then I was getting upset from work. Long story short, it's all because of relationship with the colleagues. I mean when you have to deal with a group of "8 pau" everyday, you get tire to work with them. Like a 2 hour internal department meeting. Over 1 hour of time they were talking about stupid stuffs. Then when your manager said you work slow compare to last designer, that also upset me because she has no clue about how much more work I am handling now. Then I got so sick that I hurt my lower back, got a flu and what? intestine pain AGAIN!!! Gosh I kept on going to the washroom back and forth.

Now my girlfriend cching complains I don't write about her anymore. She asked me why I would write about those "8 pau" but not her. I told her maybe in the future when I look back to my blog I remember those "8 pau" around me cos I know soon they will leave me or I will leave them. But to my gf, I think we are pretty stable now and I don't think we will leave each other. hahaha

Drum Tracks Finished

2007-06-06T23:02:00.001+08:00

Finally we finished all the drum tracks. So 3 songs and 2 months spent, that's quite slow but oh well the guy is busy so nothing I can do. Now next will be the guitars, bass and vocal. Hopefully we can speed things up and get all these done by the end of next month. Well, at least the hardest part is finished. YEAH!!!

"人道毀滅" 的真相 Truth behind Euthanasia

2007-06-01T02:37:00.000+08:00

Please try to love your animals because they need love! When you try to get a pet, make sure you need to take care of it; otherwise, you are just like another murderer. I couldn't watch the whole movie clip because it disgusted me so much. It's not bloody but just imagine how painful those dogs are.

Tested on miking the guitar cabinet

2007-05-24T21:05:00.000+08:00

Last night went back to bandroom late with Billy. We tested on the mic recording on the Peavey 6505+. We tried different mic placement and finally we got one we liked. We used two SM57, one being close and the other one from far. Both of them are off the center of the speaker. As followed the suggestion by Chi, we put boxes on two sides of the cab. I think that helps to focus the sound being capture from the mics.

Friday we will try to finish drums tracking on the final song, then we can start recording bass and guitars. I can't wait no longer!

FUCK YOU 馬力

2007-05-20T18:06:00.000+08:00

天安門母親：坦克輾學生有根據查證2000多人死要求馬力親自道歉

「六四」後與丁子霖一起蒐集死難者名單的「天安門母親」運動代表人物張先玲，其子王楠當年遇難時只有19歲。身在北京的她昨日接受本報電話訪問時，對馬力的言論表示憤慨，直斥馬力「為六四屠城辯護」、「污衊死難者」。她說，死者家屬至今已查證2000多人死於六四，部分人是被坦克壓死，有根有據，她要求馬力立即親自解釋和道歉。

對於馬力質疑坦克輾過學生的說法，張先玲說：「我們蒐集的名單裏就有好幾個被坦克壓死的，其中有一個活着的安徽人叫方正，雙腿被坦克壓斷，目前人在合肥，他（馬力）怎麼能說沒有呢？在（北京）五棵松，很多目擊者都告訴我，有人死在馬路上，像紙一樣，當時是用鐵鏟把屍體剷起來的，難道這不是慘無人道嗎？」

「須實事求是不能為組織出賣良心」

70歲的張先玲語氣嚴厲說：「民建聯左也好，右也好，這個我們不管，我個人不參與政治，但你必須要實事求是，你不能為了你的組織，而把良心出賣！」她說，民建聯要道歉可以，但必須馬力本人道歉，「我們說話都是有根有據的，我們說死了2000人左右，絕不是信口雌黃，名錄裏記載得很清楚，馬力根據是什麼？」

張先玲說，香港有教師在學校和學生討論六四，「這是好事」，即使細節不大相同，但至少把這個歷史事實講給下一代知，才能避免重蹈覆轍。她說，今年是「六四」18周年，一批六四死難者母親會像往年一樣，相聚悼念孩子，她希望有關部門不要干擾。

王丹倡馬力親試驗坦克壓肉餅

身在美國的八九民運人士王丹回覆本報電郵查詢時批評，馬力說法是喪盡天良，「對於這種人，不期待他會道歉」。他重申，有關市民被坦克輾成肉餅，當年有相為證，並有很多相關書籍引用，他說：「如果馬力不信，他自己可以躺到坦克車下面，如果沒有變成肉餅，我向他道歉！」

王丹說，當年中共主要在長安街上殺人，因此廣場內的學生能撤出，但這不代表別的地方沒有死人。他又不滿馬力以豬作比喻來說明當日的死難者，並指馬力若有宗教信仰，難道不怕下地獄嗎？

Intestine

2007-05-20T13:06:00.000+08:00

Seems like I update my blog weekly now! I guess I just don't have much time to update as much as before. Though it's still good to write and to share some of my thoughts and stuffs happen to me.

Finished another song's drum tracks few days ago, so one more song to do then we can start to track other instruments. Beside, we can return all the mics for the drums and not to concern the mic placement. In the same time we can start writing new songs.

This week has been quite good except that 2 days ago I got intestine inflammation. It was probably the bad preserved dry mango from bandroom. However, Pak To also had it but he'e fine. Anyway, Saturday morning around 4am I got awaken from the pain. I couldn't go back to sleep and I was in pain continuously. So I had to go see the doctor when they open. The doc gave me an injection and some medication. So my whole Saturday afternoon I was home sleeping and resting. What a waste! Now I feel better but I still can't eat much except some congee and white bread.

Paul Let's Fight Show

2007-05-14T00:38:00.000+08:00

The show last night was great. I guess round 2 (on the 12th) was better than round 1. Great to help my friends during the show. It's my pleasure to be able to help out in any way when it comes to music. Got to meet Paul and talked a bit. It's good to know that his pressure is now off since the ticket sales were pretty good. I hope that by doing this, we can together make the music scene more diverse and healthy. I hope this show will become an annual festival like the Ozzfest, Family Value Tour and etc. So let's fight!!!

Busy Busy

2007-05-08T02:56:00.000+08:00

Just got home and finished the shower. It's 3am now and my hair is wet so I will wait a bit then go to sleep. These days I am so busy from work as I need to go to all citysuper stores to have photo shooting. Just to imagine that I need to get up so early in the morning and then shoot photos for like 4, 5 hours straight. So now we completed two stores and still have 5 more locations to go. It's a good project because I can learn alot from the photographer also I know more about the company now!

After work today I went to bandroom for recording. While waiting for Pak To for the drums session. I accidentally locked myself outside the room. Gosh, I was just wearing a tee and boxer. My phone, pants and money were all inside the room. So I went down to call Pak To to ask him to rescue me.

So the click for song 1 is done now. It's quite a complicated song with lots of tempo/time signature changes. I think this is a fun song to play. Hopefully we can nail down the drums tracks this week. We are so behind!

Finished Drums for Song 2

2007-05-01T23:24:00.000+08:00

Yesterday finally finished the drums tracks for song 2. Took quite a long time to finish since we want to get the best as we can. So now we are going to record song 1 and hopefully we can get this song done quicker.

Raptors are down 1-3 to the Nets. I still have hope for the team because I believe that they can still win the next game when they play at home. But now Raps gotta take one game at a time. Anyway, I think this team is going to be a championship team because we have all the right people. Go Raptors Go!!!

Weekend

2007-04-24T01:15:00.000+08:00

This weekend it's alright! On Friday I bought the Line 6 UX-1 with Kat. I still haven't got it running because I need to get some cables and etc. I am excited with this new toy because I can start recording some demo or guitar riffs whenever I have some new ideas. After dinner with Kat and her friend Tommi, went back to bandroom to record drums for Pak To. Billy showed up too!

Then on Saturday I met up Jessie at night for a band show at HK Baptist University. I saw some friends there as usual. When we got there we saw the last song of Hard Candy. They are going to experimental! Then it's An Id Signal, Los En Found, Blackwine and Sea Monster. The sound there wasn't that good and I think one of the speakers died down too. We didn't finish the show cos we needed to go to TST to Gabe's tattoo store. Yeah Jessie is getting a huge tattoo with a Chinese lady and snake all across her back! I can't wait to see when she gets it done! I also talked to Gabe that I wanna do a tattoo of my hero Ka Kui. So I am going to do some sketches and compositions now. After that I went to meet up lowee and her friend to drink at CWB. It was so cool that I got to meet some new friends. Hey to my new friend Ugine! YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!Went to church on Sunday morning after few hours to sleep. It was tiring and the sermon was soooo long! Sometimes I think when the sermon is too long it's hard to digest! It's been over 2 months that I haven't been to church and I gotta go back because I dont want to lose my faith again! At night we had some big chinese dinner to celebrate my Uncle 1 birthday! Again, I protested not to eat shark fin!

One last thought, I wonder if one day I can become a vegetarian.

Found an article from pakkin.blogspot.com which is about HK singer Kay. I read it and I think Pakkin had a very good point on Kay's pregnancy.

Retreat

2007-04-10T00:11:00.000+08:00

Come back from the retreat in Mui Wo. It was good because all the brothers and sisters got to sing, share, being silly in the retreat! Can't believe that we were singing alot of the 80s songs at night. Of course the worship part was great because we got to choose our favorite worship songs to sing and sing LOUD!!!

We also did some great thing on the 2nd day as we went to visit and elderly home. I saw that an old lady she didn't have much smile on her face. After we sang a few songs, I saw tears came down from her face as she went on to wipe her eyes. At the last song, I can see smile on her face after some prayers with the elders. Good job Tsui to organize this surprise event at the end of the day.

All the G-ONE bros and sis, let's work hard toward our goal!

April 7

2007-04-07T02:06:00.000+08:00

It's my birthday today and can't believe that last year ran so fast! I enjoyed last year alot because my band finally completed the line-up and we worked hard together! Then I got a decent job at city'super. Even though I had alot ups and downs with cching but we are still happily together. Barcelona is still on the top of the league! My family are doing good so I guess I really have to thank God for giving me alot over last year. I hope that I can do more since I am a year older now.

Chi helped us to set up the recording stuffs at the bandroom today! He will also help us to record our demo. I hope we will have time to record 3 songs in April. We have some expectation but we are not going to put pressure on Chi. Anyway, thanks man for helping us out!

All the brothers from Mensheng, let's rock!

cching

2007-04-02T14:54:00.000+08:00

We are back together after some times of separation. We had some serious talks on Sunday night and we are trying to work things out now even though there are still some unknown and concerns.

Thanks everyone who has talked to me! I know you guys must be tired always hearing our problems but yeah, really thank you all!
