黃金歲月
Hurricane Megi miraculously missed HK, but my original plan to join my fellowship camp this weekend was already canceled. The unexpected free time had given me a major headache rather than a relaxing time. My mind was cluttered with projects I wanted to start, but was afraid that they wouldn’t be finished and become major […]

Had been in search of a new bible after finished reading The Message, and unexpectedly, I found this peculiar version – The Green Bible! It is the New Revised Standard Version with scriptures concerning “Green” topics highlighted and discussed. What a wonderful idea! “God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very […]

How great would it be if we Homosapiens can live in harmony with nature like the natives? We civilized non-natives tend to study nature from afar and regard it as nothing more than natural resources to be consumed. In stark contrast, early indigenous people were careful observant of nature, they dwell and lived off of […]

Chung Yeung Festival
Parents left home early for Mainland to pay respect to ancestors. I also congested my way through crowds who were heading to the cemetery, but I was just going for a friendly game of soccer nearby. It was rather awkward playing under the strong smell of burning incense, but I had a great time playing […]

Grass
Sat in on a seminar about Grass today. Didn’t realize we humans depend so much on grass until now – more than 45% of our diet’s calorific value comes from it (rice, wheat, barley,…)! Furthermore, grass can be used to make paper, herbal medicine, oil, furniture, construction materials, etc. And the fastest growing plant that […]

Parent’s Return
Parents bought me a hotchpotch of Belgium chocolates from their European trip, will try and see if they can live up to their reputation of being the world’s best chocolates! I’m thankful that they returned safe and sound. I’ve been praying for their health and safety every night before I went to bed.

Last Supper
Parents will return from their 10+ day European trip tomorrow. The freedom and tranquility of being home alone will inevitably cease tomorrow evening. I seized the opportunity and treated myself with abundant forbidden food for the last time tonight! Slightly drunk from the 2 beer while I’m writing this post. This half conscious state of […]

When asked about my farewell gift from my Elim Fellowship’s b/s, I requested The Message – a contemporary English translation of the best-selling book of all times. After bringing back this gift with me to HK for a little over a year, I’ve finally finished reading it from front to back! Now is the time […]

Change of Season
Woke up this morning feeling particularly refreshed after a restful sleep! Haven’t been sleeping too well ever since I supported the “no air-con nite” last week and stopped turning on the air-con before I go to bed. But the air temperature last night was just perfect for a therapeutic deep sleep! Took a walk to […]

Tsing Yi
It’s Chinese National Holiday today. Went back to Tsing Yi to play bball with my highschool friends. This is one of the rare occasions that I went back during the day rather than night to play badminton. With much time to spare after the game, I forgot about my fatigued body and took a long […]
