27 + 12

It's not a math question, FYI.

Today, September 27, 2008, is a huge day for my family. It's my parents' 27th anniversary, and my 12th anniversary of being a reborn Christian. I don't know how my parents are going to celebrate their anniversary, but for me, I am gonna play drums in the big Grace Melodia evangelical concert tonight (and tomorrow night)!

Honestly, without my parents there would not be me. And without Jesus Christ's salvation, I would not be who I am today. So, isn't preaching the gospel through my musical gifts (one of the ABSOLUTE GREATEST gifts God has given me) the greatest way to celebrate these two important events? :-D

I love you, Mom and Dad!!!
I LOVE YOU, LORD JESUS!!!!! <333333333

Stuffing Human Sardines Until Insanity!

Insane.

Whether I bus early in the morning or late at night, the same thing appears - the bus is PACKED.

Insane.

Sometimes in the morning people would be watching the busses come and go, but can't get on one until the 5th or 6th time around. Really thank God this has only happened to me once or twice so far.

Insane.

When you get on the bus (whether it's early morning or late night), all you hear is the bus driver yelling, "Push all the way back please! Be cozy! Make friends!" Sometimes VO does this job, in a much gentler manner, "Please move to the rear of the bus." Once everybody has got on (if we can squeeze anybody), you will hear another quote from the bus driver, "Hold on for your safety please." That's true - since the bus is so crowded, it's difficult to find something to hold on to. If you happen to have a seat, you don't see nothing but human bodies. They block all the beautiful scenaries of Vancouver.

Insane.

Sometimes I have to stand all the way from where I get on till the UBC terminal. Or if I'm seated, I would be suffocated because the level of crowdedness does NOT get reduced AT ALL. The first half of the bus ride would be crowded with high school students and the second half university students. Sometimes I would just ignore what's going on by dozing off ...

Insane.

After 9pm the bus only comes every half an hour. People would be so fed up with waiting for the bus and they would fight to get on the bus ... I have developed some good "sneaking into the bus" skills so I don't have to wait another half an hour longer.

Insane.

Nevertheless, one thing always happens - when I get off the bus, I'd always be thankful with such enjoyable fresh air!

Time to go to sleep or else I won't be able to make to class 8.5 hours later!!!!!

THIS IS INSANITY!!!

Thanks!

I was deeply touched by the appreciation remarks from Hezekiah fellowshippers. I really thank God for putting me in this fellowship and serve as its debut chairperson. Tonight's remarks truly reveal all the work God has done in me for the past 12 years (I became a Christian on September 27, 1996 ... the anniversary is coming up pretty soon!). He really has shaped me into a useful tool of His. All the glory and honour be to Him!

Thank You, my Lord, for everything You've done in me. How can I not serve You?

Furthermore, thank you all, dear Brothers and Sisters from Hezekiah. I love you all dearly! <3

Choice

面對抉擇
曲、詞:西伯
(c) 1996 共享詩歌

環境諸多變遷,誰可以看見,明天的發展和際遇?
人智慧有限,難作選擇,前路一片茫茫如沒路牌!

人心思可變更,誰可以看透,人心中的構思和計劃?
人你我互謀,難作審斷,前路一片茫茫如沒路牌!

副歌:面對抉擇面臨困惑,心底裡幾番衝動:   
人去亦難留更難,常退避沒有用!   
今天我有主耶穌的足印,給我作指引!   
面對艱難我誓要跟從,原因主智慧無限。   
實在我不配為我作選擇,原因我已屬上主所有。

Home Sweet Home???

Just went to D+E's wedding ceremony at my home church, and met many old church friends, aunties and uncles. Of course I was very glad to see them, but I still felt distant from many of them whom I've once close with. What is it that makes it so hard for us to connect with one another?

But unlike last few times I came back to Calgary, this weird feeling didn't strike me as much. After all, this is my home church and I'm glad to come back. Normally I feel depressed when I can't interact much with old friends. Is it some sort of indication from God?

We'll see if some devoted conversations can be created tonight at the banquet.

Tomorrow morning I'm back to Vancouver for one more school year. Finally this is the real last school year (for the time being at least) ... I will make this last a blast! :-)
