ch. 80 keep learning
growing up is tough.
so many situations have to face, so many decisions to make.
no more daddy, no more mommy, only you, yourslef alone.
i m glad that i m confuse, if no confusion, i duno wht God has given me. i can't be clear on what i want and see clearly who is really there for me. acatully, everyone's there for me .. so i m very blessed.
life is so much 'crazier' in hk. so MANY ups and downs. so many surprises. so many decisions. or may be it's not about hk, it's about growing up.
how's everyone handling? i m still learning.

ch.79 back to my blog
haven't blogged for ages. i guess it's mainly because of the crazy workload. just dun wanna turn on the computer at home after work.. i guess u guys understand.
well, so here's some update of moi:
1) still with T. haha
yah, can't believe, it's been 7 months already. and i think we r doing better. lots of htings have happened between me n him, actually to me and to him. we both acted as each other's supporter and things r doing pretty well.
2) change of attitude
i dont' want to work in this comany anymore. i finally reallized that i m not a workaholic. after 9 months of non-stop working. i think my limit is reached. the out come is not worth my input.. working for such long hours almost every single day, can't even do my basic, simpliest stuff as a person, ie. go to the bank. this is just unhuman. and yes, i'll quit. the goodness of the creative director cannot overcome the bitterness and crazyness of this work environment. acatully, i m thinking if i m gd for this industry. this is wht i m concern about these days. Those who came back from Tor, whom have met me, all said that i m a workaholic. but nah, i dun think so. i think i can be one, but i dun wanna be one. i need my life back.
3) living with my bro
yah, moved for 3 months already. same area in homantin, pretty close to my grandma. very convenience location acatully. glad to live w/ my bro. he's annoying at times but it's ok, we still worked things out.

I've never been there and it's amazing how i got to go to this STM. first of all, can't beleive my boss will let me go. 2nd of all, T is going. 3 rd of all, i m going. It's really not planned..
and my work.. well, working as event organizer these days.. partly design... quite exciting. helping to organize 2 events in late july and early aug, might have to go to shang hai for the early aug one for a few days. quite gd. adrenaline working environment.. daily adrenaline..
o, n have finished a book (ha~!) read during mtr/ before sleep time.. pretty efficient acatully. haha. the book is caleld "In His Steps", it's a timeless classic in Christian literature. it's mainly about WWJD. it's a qutie interesting ficition.

ch.74 post-camp 2
most of the time.. after every retreat, i would felt so passionate about God because the atmosphere in the camp: everyone became so devoted n passoinate and all energized about being God's solider in the secular world. This time i felt the same afterwards, yet, abit different. During the retreat, i dun feel THE GREAT FIRE but everything went so smooth and peaceful. The retreat was actaully a peaceful break for me from my work. rite now, i feel more sure about God. the feeling is just so much more secured coz i know He is with me always. The feeling is not like the old times, like "YEAH< LETZ DO IT! GO GO GO!" that kinda way.. those youthful way.. but it's more like "Yes, i'll ive my life in God's way".. more peaceful. i guess the concluson is.. i m getting old. haha. anyway, just feel good.

The 5 Questions with God.
A lot of times when our lives are being "interrupted", in another word, when we face trials, difficulties, and troubles, we always try to blame God or ask God and question His decision. Often we even ask God to get out of our lives and "reset" it into what it used to be. Busy trying to take matter into our own hands, we often tend to shut God up and no take into concerns what He wants to do through these interruptions. Here are 5 questions that we may ask when we face interruptions, troubles and tragedies:Lord in this interruption....
what do You want me to do?
who do You want me to meet?
why are You doing this?
what do You want to change in me?
how can i Gloryfy you?
Though it's not anything too deep or profound, I sure hope that these questions may help you all to get through future trials and difficulties. My prayer for you all is that God'd reveal to you His will and thoughts through these interruptions, and that "the end result would justify the possible pain it took to glorify Him" (taken from Relient K)

It's not only the workload, but with the stress.. my shoulder muscles are all tensed and the day seems like it never pass. the time goes so slowly... but then, it's friday already.. i guess work + sleep + work + sleep... does make time goes quite fast in general'

ch.68 i hate FLU!!
so, i m sick. havent' been feeling so sick for years. I think i caught the hk flue.. ai.. so bad. Took the afternoon off today as i was being "ordered" by my senior. She said i shd really go see the doc since i look pretty pale. yikes..
anyway, haven't been bloggin for awhile.. so here's some update of my days:
for the easter holiday, i did these:
1) Went to ShenZhen to visit T. Tried out on the new SZ MTR, very clean but super slow. I mean, i have to wait 25 mins for the next train. so stupid which ALMOST made me miss the last train to HK! ARGH. The outlook is similar to the HK MTR, but way cheaper. it only costed me RMB$1 last time. Not many ppl were there at the stations and it closed quite early too.. T took me to the KCR station at around 11 :30pm but he couldn't get back by MTR coz his route is closed already.
2) went to ShenZhen to visit T. (haha) Went to this "Seafood street" to have dinner. We had fish, shrimps, oysters, clams and fried rice. soo many.. n cost so little. it was awesome! haha..
3) Watched Noah's Ark, the documentary. One of the 2 adventurers of the movies acatully was there at my slot. He came to give a speech at the end. How lucky i was!
4) One of my co-workers took me to this shady restaurant at causeway bay to have "che-chai-noodles'. IT WAS SO GOOD! we got there at around 3 something and there were still ppl lining up outside the store. The noodle was gd coz the food totally absorbed the sauce.. super nice!!!!
5) watched a drama/show w/ my bro and his gf's family. The show is called "Man of la tiger" by Theatre Ensemble, featuring Jim-sui-man. It was a great show. Very funny and to the point. It's aobut this 40 yrs old man finding himself.. the Jim guy was the only actor and he played so many different characters. awesome act!
Things i did in Ching Ming holiday: Gathering at Roy's new home.
Went all the way to Yuen Long to have this Torontonian gathering. pretty nice. we had bbq (yeah, w/ my sorethroat.. ha) at roy's place and the weather was so perfect. everyone's doing ok, still the same. no big changes. And finally got a chance to take the West rail and light rail.
I was talking to Tai that it seems like we are still in the highsch stage.. except we have more beers now. lol. everyone's still seem so happy all the time. I guess it's a blessing from God.

ch.62 praising God everyday
so how's life everyone? my life is normal as usual. Got off work a little bit late tonite actually, off at 11:30pm. didn't have dinner but had some bread i bought a week ago (for my breakfast!!) that i found in my bag. Having some "Gwa-ji" from CNY rite now while chatting online. Will get to sleep soon, since i dun think i get enough sleep at all. So yah, everything is normal for me.
My life might seems like .. i m in slavery.. lol.. but i prasie God for what i have. O, i told this guy from church about my job, n he was so shocked. His first rxn was, O Janice, i 'll pray for u. and after like 15 mins, he said, O, i m still in shock. i was like.. yah.. ok.. but anyway, i still praise the Lord everyday coz he's giving me so much blessings.
This is the job that i liked, God prepared this for me.
This is the life that i m willing to have, God prepared this for me.
This is the guy that i dun even think i could have, God prepared him for me. acatully, still not too sure but i do keep praying about this.
Wht's more to life? living under God's grace and knowing that He is with me.
awesome.
