Barbeque night. It was quite fun even though it took quite a long time trying to get the fire started, credit to Chris and Mike who put so much effort into it. Sitting next to the ocean, occasionally tasting it, talking was quite fun. Relaxing. I forgot how much I love the sound of the waves crashing onto the rocks. Everyone who came is awesome.

On the way back from the beach, there was two parknshop carts on the sidewalk. I decided to sit it in and have Jon push me. It was fun, quite relaxing sitting in the cart and definetly a work out for Hynah. All the way from the stanley beach to circle K on stanley street, with a quick 100m dash and including the big hill going down to the round about.  By the time we got to circle K, he was sweating the ocean.

The fun continues. Did you ever know that the drinks section at circle K can push in? Well we did and when we went in, we saw the drinks were pushed in a little bit. Just enough for someone to stand inside. Well.. you know what happened next.

Go ahead. Laugh away. Steam?

One more day, When’s our next holiday? When’s christmas? I’m ready for it already, and I’m sure all my friends are. Enjoy the last day.

Cheers, Jo!

This phone is nice, so I’ve heard. I would never expect to actually buy this first hand and use it, but today I got this and I was so excited the whole morning. It was expensive.. but I’ll work for it. I know, I shouldn’t lust over materialistic things, especially during church but it was too good to be true.

I couldn’t wait to charge it and than use the phone. I took it out not long after I brought it and put my sim card in. Played with it all day when I had time. I’m turning more and more like my other half – hynah.

He’s leaving to the states soon for three weeks. I’m not going to have anyone to complain to about school, anyone to call during lunch so I can get away from obnoxious, worried school mates. I’m going to have hynah withdrawl. My keypad 2 on my phone is going to be lonely. Steam?
Two more days before school starts again. Treasure it!

Cheers, Jo.

I’m still freaked out…

“Somebody just fainted.”I heard my dad tell us in the car, my eyes bulged out and I was wide awake. I looked out my window and saw an old man at the bus station, on the ground, everyone else around him standing there looking at him and not doing anything. What were they thinking? I was across the road in the car, and when i saw it, I was THIS close to running out of the car, risk getting run over by all the big buses and go help him.

Life is so fragile. I always say that but I don’t always apply it. I take alot of things for granted even if I try not to. I’m born in a middle class wealthy family and don’t have to do much to help the financial status in my family. I’ve always knew these things happen, but it’s never hit me so hard. I was in the car and couldn’t talk, my heart was beating fast and kept looking back hoping the car never moved and I could still go out and help.

We go crazy about all kinds of things. We worry about school. We worry about friends. We worry about boy girl relationships, puppy love. But when it comes to these kind of things, we want to run away from the truth, trying to pretend that it doesn’t happen. We get upset and depressed about things that only affect us, but think of that old man’s family and friends. Think of the people around him. Put yourself in their shoes, how would you feel?

Life is short and it’s fragile. Live it wisely.

Cheers!

Lamma Island. I have been there before but this time it was different. As you know, the last few days I’ve been having mood swing days and today I got quite annoyed at one point, but when we got on the boat on our way to Lamma, I forgot about it. It was a small group of kids who went, only six of us, but it was great. Walking up to their house, the quietness, I liked it. I would walk around just before it gets dark every day and it would make me happy. Definetly crashing at their place sometime.
Seeing Cindy was great. I haven’t seen her for over a week, and I know she’s been busy with moving, school and everything. I can’t wait to catch up with her. Sitting up on the rooftop looking out towards the ocean, being able to see the disneyland fireworks, the whole of hong kong, the hsingyee bridge, it was beautiful. So quiet, not too hot with breezes every now and then. Homemade spagehtti, vegetables, garlic bread and cookies. Thanks Cindy.. so much. Thanks the LaTours for having us over.

It was exactly what I needed after the last couple of nights, I loved it.

When we were on the boat to Lamma, Tim gave us all a bag with a goldfish in it. He told us to carry it around and have it with us for the night and he’ll tell us what it was for towards the end of the night. After dinner, he reminded us that the theme for encounter was “follow me, and i’ll make you fishers of men” He talked to us about how we are called to spread the gospel, to evangelise. He told us to give a name to the fish that we were holding, someone that we care alot about but do not yet know Jesus Christ. Someone who knows him, but is having trouble, someone we could evangelise to. Most of us shared who we would name our fish. There were many people I would name my fish but I named mine Kevin- my brother. Alot of times he goes through hard times that i don’t know about, but I wish that he would change his perception right now and seek for God again.

During DCLA in the summer, I was asked the same question, if I had one person in my life that I wish would come to know Jesus, who would it be? I debated and debated but in the end, thought about my brother the whole conference. I know God will guide me through this and has a plan for Kevin.

What would you name your fish?

For the past few days, I’ve been letting stupid things get to me easily and half the time, I don’t even know what I was cranky about. I don’t know what’s up with me and I feel like a party pooper when that happens, bringing it down for everyone else.

Anyway, night was good though later on, some things got to me. I enjoyed having home made food by Jon. First time I’ve had his homemade food. It was good spending some time with Ashley and Gideon as well. Good salad. Good chicken and fried rice. And good ice cream courtesy of Gideon from Wellcome. Hah hah…

Five more days of holiday. I better enjoy it …

Cheers!
