ch.39 The future hotline

The "Future Hotline"?

I took this pic awhile ago when I was at GuangZhao with my dad. It's printed on the walls of a construction site. I found it quite funny. Future hotline.. hmm.. lol.

I guess everyone wants to know about our own future. Who are we gonna married? When will I die? What will I be doing 5 years from now? Will I get a job tomorrow? Will it rain tomorrow? lots of questions in the future tense. If there was a 'hotline' that we could call, i think everyone will be spending all their time dialing the number and their "future" is = addiction to the future, neglection of the presence. The unknown is always so much more interesting than the known.
May be not knowing somehoe gives us hope (false hope?) and so lots of people try different channels to get to the unknown.

Being a Christian, we are blessed. We know what will happened: Our Lord is coming back. With this big picture in mind, all we have to do is to fulfill our earthly duty: lead more peopel to Christ. Yes, we do feel confuse, sad, helpless, worry at times, but as long as we know that the Lord is with us, we can turn all our burdens away and just concentrate to live our life fully with what the Lord has prepared for us.

ch.3716 hrs 38 mins

The hills are ALIVE~~~~~~~~
yah, i'm done with my crazy 16 hrs mountain walking/climbing/short-of-breath-to-talk-at-all fund raising trip.
It was HARSH! but fun and great for will power trainig.

by the end of the trip, i was so exhausted i couldn't say a word and i fell asleep on the cafeteria table. I couldn't feel my legs and i totally got the new definition of "exhaustion" in my dictionary.

My teammates included Roy, Tai and leslie. i dun wanna believe it at first but i have to admit that woman's physical condition is really not as good as men's. on my way up a super steep hill, i had to stop quite often to catch my breath. my teammates didn't leave me but waited for me. that's super sweet coz i know from fact that some ppl from other team acatully left the less-physically-equipped teammate behind, which was such a selfish act. Anyway, we climbed to at least 3 hills and man, i m telling ya, the air up there is super fresh, cool and nice~~ totally miss that feeling right now, surrounded by the cool air, countless mountain tops and the night scene of shatin. The scenaries were fantastic and all the hardwork of going up and down the hills all worth it.

anyway, my legs are still in pain, not quite able to walk down the stairs yet.. m i glad that i dun have to work. lol.

well, the trip is like the great touch to end my relax-jobless-mood. I m all refreshed and ready for my another journey of my days on earth.

ch.36 fun lovin' life

Since i m out of job, I have so much free time to experience other things. Here are a few things that i did within these 5 days:
1) Reading.
Books that i'm reading are Da Vinci Code(still, haha.. but it's really gd!!), What is the color of my parachute(one of my nicest co-workers lend me that, it's about career changes/job hunt/to understand myself more. It's nothign but boring like other self-help book, lol), The secret inside the paintings (that's real interesting, the author talked about 100 paintings from the old days to the modern era. Catogarized by women, men, nature and religion. It tells the story behind each painting and those 8-por stuff about the painters. haha. definitiely my cup of tea~),
2) Going out.
I've met some interesting people these five days. My church is hiring new pastor and the Bible study group that's held on wed was lead by him. His name is Dale Johnson and he's been serving in the middle east for 14 yrs. he's the expert in arabic language and he's the arebic adversor in the movie, Passion of the Christ. He has also studied 1 yr in China and now he's here in HK with his wife. He lead us through the first chapter of Roman on wed night and it's quite intriging coz i still remember what he said. Other than him, i met Cheung Chan Ork. haha. Went to his Gig at this bar last night with my lovely guys: tai, roy and gay. Finally gotta see mr. Cheung in person. I've been listening to his songs for awhile and reaidng his interviews made me wanna see wht kinda guy he is. Well, didn't really get to talk to him but the feeling of seeing him in person is cool enough. Singing his songs with him were great. haha. One more person is this gallery coordinator at Shang Hai Street. Shang Hai street is located at Yau Ma Tei, some really old district with old buildings and mainland china immigrants, hookers, gangsters and drug addicts. Well, i walked over there yesterday with my dad to buy medicine and foudn this gallery, "Shang Hai Street Art Space" at one corner. Went in, talked to her and she's a photographer. She said i m welcome to book a timeslot at the gallery to show my work. ha. how nice that would be! and i m thinking about that. hehe.
3) Watching moviesssss
Joined a movie club. now it only cost me hk$28 for one movie! wahahaha. and i could rend free dvds and magazines!! how nice is that! The place is at Yau Ma Tei, the Broadway Cinematheque, a walking distance from my home. I watched "Motorcycle diary" and "Super size me". Both are not mainstream movies but i enjoyed them alot. The first one is about Che, the cuban revolution leader, well, it's about him in his early 20s travelling around central america with his freind. How the travel has bewildered his perspective in life. The 2nd movie is about this guy who's in this experiment of eating Mcdonald's for 30 days, 3 times/ day. Totally made me dun wanna eat old Mc anymore.

Things that i'll do now: going to the Design exihibition at convention centre!!! hehehe.. and then go check up my teeth with this dentist, who was a highsch friend of my bro. hope that he's hot. haha.
Things i'll do tmmr: my fun lovin' 16hrs mountain walking!! The lady who does the cleaning of my house acatully worries about me and will go with me. haha.. She's cool and fun and she's the expert in mountain walking.

ch.35 God's work: Raymond K.

duno if u guys remembered the 889 DJ called Raymond? he's back in hk and we r attending the same church. He's studying theology at hk right now. Very nice man.

He just called me and prayed with me on the phone. It was amazing.
it was my first time praying with a friend through the phone. And it was Raymond, the cocky-dj-used-to-be!
That's totally God's work.

I remember the first impression i had for him is this cocky guy who think he's all that. I met him when i was working at 889 one summer. he rarely talks to ppl and whenver he talks, he just inch ppl and say things that put ppl down. I dun like him at all.

When i got back to hk and saw him attending the same church as i m, i was so surprised. I didn't wanan talk to him coz the impression of his cockiness is still there. But then, he has changed. he's became this mr. nice guy who is so passionate about God. He's acatully studying theology and wanting to be a missonary. wht other conclusion can i make except this is God's work. raymond has transformed after he met Christ. And he acatulyl prayed with me on the phone. how amazing is that!

God's so cool. Another evidence of Him being the omnipower God.

ch.34 A day to remember

Things that happened today:
1) i quitted my job.
2) Stress attack.
3) Food poinsoning.

yah, so i handed in my resignation letter today at 6pm. The boss told us to think about it and she welcome us to go back. I was abit shaked, but then, nah, not gonan go back. That's not what i wanted. However, after handed in my letter, suddenly i found myself lack of breath. Couldn't breath and got cold sweat.
i was ok at the beginning of my journey home, but when i m almost home, i sweat like crazy, cold sweat n my stomach hurt so much. I thought tis' just my normal stomache, so i just lied on my bed and try to sleep and hopefully it'l be better soon (well, that worked before~) but then, after 2 hrs, still feel the pain. and I couldnt' lie there anymore n went to the washroom. There, the amazing puke-and-'all'-marathon happened. o man, i was like, puke for 2 mins, then 'all' for 3 mins and on and on.. soooo sun fu! N the things i puked out were the sphegette that i had for lunch. ALL were out. I wanted to laugh coz the sphegette looks like they haven't got chewed at all.. but then iwas too "sun fu" and lack of energy to do anything.. n yah, occupied by the serious diarrhea. Horrible experience. SO i told my dad and said that i got food poisoning and he hurried got me to the ER. I felt much better at the ER but still went to the john for a few times. after waiting for an hr, got called in, and they shoot a needle on my bum. and totally felt the medicine running thru my right leg to my left. I thought i could leave but the nurse told me to wait for an hr to see if i show any allergy to the medicine. Thank God i didn't.

During the waiting, i gotta chance to talk to my dad. Just some usual stuff and felt really gd. And when i called my bro, he said he experienced that once too and it's gd to have someone to share experience with.

aynway, me super weak now. not gonna go to work tmmr. ha, right after i resigned, how cool is that. man, i've been sick once a month since i got this job. may be due tot he 2nd hand smoke.

ch.33 hanging out

i love hanging out with my friends.

found this nice upstair cafe at mongkok n hung out with my Tor friends over there for the whole nite last nite. Felt like back to the old days at Tor. back to those "168 - big-2-magazines" days. haha.
it was lots of fun. we just played big-2, blow water, n enjoyed ourselves. it's even more fun than before coz it's so precious.

A friend said that i've became this "sad" person after i m back.
am I really?
when he said that to me, i was quite in shock. but then when i think about it.. i think the
'sad' part of me has somehow grown bigger ever since i came back. He said to me that i shoudl go back. ha.
well, i immediately cheered myself up n talked n joke around. that mad me felt good. I haven't been so cheerful for awhile.

but his question triggered my thought.. i acatully became 'sad' when im back. that doesn't sound right... hmm...

anyway, i love hanging out with friends. i mean real freinds. coz we say all sorts of things: the mo liu jokes, the stupiest comment, the 'noone-laugh-at-joke', and, the truth.

i need more dozes of the "hangout pills" to sustain my life in hk.
come back, my friends! hehe..
