Everybody and anybody with a TV/ radio/ mobile/ Internet would have know that Michael Joseph Jackson passed away 2 days ago.

Death has always been a fascinating subject for me.

My Pastor often quotes this guy that says: "The statistics of Death is fascinating - One in one person dies!"

My Pastor also say "Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship with our Creator God". Which means the next time I fill up a form I can go ahead and put in my religion as "Jedi".

Over the past 2 days, television is filled with news, videos and tributes to the late superstar. And as I see all these shows, I cannot help but realise how much he has influenced our culture and music in the past 2 decades.

Another thing I realised: How people say bad things about him when he was alive and how much people paid tributes to him after he had died.

How... hypocritical...

But I guess I am just as guilty of it. Making fun of him when he was alive and thinking how great he is after he had died, and thinking what a loss the world had experienced.

There are many people whom we loved to hate. Isn't it? Myself included. Some people, I wished I can kill them myself. some, I rather kill myself than be anywhere near them. But maybe, we don't really hate them that much. Maybe, if we had understand that every human is precious despite their flaws which, by the way, we all have. then maybe there will be less fighting, less killing and less hurting. Then maybe we will have a more peaceful world.

Maybe?

Let's try again...

Hi.. Its me...

The 1st time I blogged in almost 2 years... Since then I have gotten married, gained 10kg and started balding... so my wife tells me...

Its amazing what two years can do to a person right...

As I was typing this.. My 31st birthday quietly approaches...

Anyway, maybe I will say why I stopped blogging.. By saying why I started... I started blogging, I think, because I had so many things, unhappy things, stored inside of me that I wanted an outlet. So blogging gave me this outlet. Just take a look at my previous posts and you can see a lot of dark posts.. (partly also because I used a black background for my blog).. a lot of angry posts, a lot of depressed posts..

But since then, I have become a lot happier. I think this has a lot to do with me finding the love of my life, who is of course now my wife. So, slowly, I lost the urge to blog my thoughts. Its not that I stopped having thoughts, neither have I totally given up on blogging. In fact, many times I did have some things that I want to write in this blog.. But I just can't find the motivation. Plus the busy-ness of everyday life just keep me away.

But recently, I met some of my old friends whom many asked about my blog. Seems like many people (like 3 of them) missed my blog rather much. So I am encouraged to start writing again.

So this is it. A blog about re-starting to write my blog... Let's see how long I can keep up on this..

A Tribute to CPT Ho Si Qiu

CPT Ho Si Qiu passed away on 26th August 2007. He collapsed after completing the Army Half Marathon and passed away shortly after.

Si Qiu is a good man and a wonderful person. I have never met anyone else whom I respect as much as him. For his integrity, his helpfulness, his kindness, his professionalism is his work... the list goes on.

I thought I had a lot to say. But right now, I cannot think of any words.

Then again, words that I say cannot describe how good a person he is. It is my privilege to be able to know him in 3Guards. It is also my regret that I did not have the chance to know him better.

Rest in peace, brother. I know your soul is with the LORD now. And for that, I am consoled.

It's been about 1 and half weeks since I came back from Shanghai. People have been falling sick since we came back from there. My girlfriend just fell sick over the weekend also. Sigh...

Just had an eventful weekend as well... Take-the-City Walkaton and Cell retreat together... as well as BBQ. (My gf went back and became sick after that)... Think I also going to fall sick soon... My mouth is full of ulcers now.... =( Btw, the food from BBQ whole sale taste great. Can get from there if you going to have BBQ next time.

Back to work today again... Things at the office have been different since 2 of my buddies left the place... And everything seems a lot more dull at work nowadays.... Sigh... It's great to have good people to work with, but I guess we just have to work with what we got.

Back??????

Hi all,

how is everybody? Does anybody miss reading my blog? hands up if you miss reading my blog. Well, I do miss writing, and I do miss writing my blog.

Part of the reason I stopped is due to the lack of time, having kept busy with a lot of things. The other part is that I sort of ran out of things to write. My desire to share with the world has stopped for a while. And my desire to write was buried in the mundane routine-ness of life.

Well, the last post read that I would be flying to Shanghai for Qian Qian Shou Project. This post reports that I just came back. Haha. No, I did no go for 3 months there. Just one week.

Oh yes, in addition to missing my blog, I also missed many of the blogs which I used to read most religously (sometimes more than I read my Bible.. Haha)

Back to Shanghai... as in back to the topic on Shanghai, not back to the place Shanghai... I had a lot of fun there, even though the temperature is about 36 - 37 C. And I learnt a lot of things there as well.. And made a lot of new friends. Good new friends.... Hee..

I also passed a birthday 1 month ago. Exactly 1 month ago... No birthday wish list like last year so not too many presents... Got some Haiggan Daz voucher and some nice stuff from my girlfriend. No "many many" birthday wishes like last year as well.... Heehee... 29 years old liao... Going to the big THREE O's soon... Then people will start calling me "Uncle!" already....

Okay enough for now... Ha... Dunno when is the next time I will blog again....

Hey hey....

It's been a busy week..... I signed up for the Shanghai Summer Camp again!! Check out last year's July posts to see what we did last year.... Heehee.. Can't wait to go again.... My girlfriend is in charge of fund raising, as she did last year..... So you all must support support.... Watch out for more of this later....

Sorry this is a short update... See you again soon.... =)

Re-Blog again....

Hihi...

I'm finally back again.... Sorry for neglecting it for so long....

The past 3 months has been crazy with lots of stuff. Work mainly... But finally its over... Heehee... But now will be busy with girlfriend... But I will still try to update at least once a week... Try lah.... Haha..

After a 3 months hiatus, hopefully you will start to see more cheerful things in my blog.. Things has been looking up in all sides of my life... Work, Romance, Ministry... All are begining to go out of darkness and into the sunshine....

Since my life is moving into the sunshine... Maybe I should consider changing the colour of my blog from black to something brighter? Haha... See what is the general opinion... (we army people must always obey the General... Haha..)

Must do some house cleaning of my blogs also... And remove all the un-used links....

Oh ya... Here's a picture of my girlfriend....



Pretty or not? Pretty can say in my comments... Not pretty dun say anything... She will be very sad wan..... Heehee

Lijiang 2006

Hey... It's been a long long time since I last updated this blog...

Anybody still reading this?

Me has been fine... Busy with work and church stuff as usual... Just came back from Lijiang last sunday. This is the 2nd time I went there to teach English. I went there last year at about the same period. But this time, the focus is different..

"We are changing China one student at a time"

Anyway, I had a lot of fun there.. Making new friends and spending time with the old.. In the whole one week there, we did a lot of things and experience a lot of stuff. In addition to teaching the schools, we also took some time out for fun.. Visiting the tourists sites and climbing the famous Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.



Have more photos but no time to upload... Maybe next time....

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekends......

I am bad at thinking of creative titles....

What have been interesting in my life nowadays?

Nothing much really... I've got a new boss in work, busy with my preparation for my Lijiang trip, baking and selling cookies... going to church....

My life's pretty boring... Haha..

Haven't been catching up with many of my friends though... I guess the busy-ness of life dulls the quality life itself... Many times we focus on the urgent things and forget the important things of our life. Many times we just do the things we need to do and forget about the things we have to do...

How are you my friends? Just leave a short comment and we will catch up shortly... Hee...

The good things is, tomorrow I will be going out with FF and E to celebrate their oldness.. which means I have to think of getting some presents... or just pay for their food. (and after that we can all celebrate our fatness)

More cookies baking and selling later today... Need to raise more funds for the Lijiang trip... Anybody wants to sponsor? I need a lot a lot a lot of money... Hee...

Weekends are always more busy than weekdays....

I wanna blog....

I had a great LOOONG weekend the past few days... I caught 4 movies... I think....

Exiled was not bad, but I din really like the ending... I dun like endings when everybody dies... But still quite interesting and entertaining to watch... I think I have been watching quite a few HK traids movies lately...

Actually not really. The last one I watched was the Election 2.

Then I watched The Prestige on Sunday night. I thought it was good. The bad thing is that I already knew the ending before I watched, so it's not so nice. But still I enjoyed the process entirely. However, not all my friends enjoyed the show... Some prefered something more light hearted.

Watched The Black Dahlia on Monday morning.. This is the 3rd thing I saw Scarlet Johanson this month... Which means she's the BIG thing now... Not a bad show... except that its another mind twister... My friend was still a bit blur when we came out of the theatre. But all in all it was quite good.

Death Note. Now that was the best movie. The character "L" was totally cool... although a bit weird... I think the actor captured the essence of "L" from the comic very well.. Which is why I was totally captivated in the show. Death Note 2 will be out in Dec... Will definitely catch it.

In addition, I also managed to tour the entire Vivo City on monday. All I can say is that I am not impressed. Such a big shopping centre and they do not a any shops dedicated t0 comics or guitars... so disappointing...

I spend the whole of today in cell group and the Lijiang meeting.. nothing much to report there...

All in all I had a wonderful weekend.. And Death Note was the best part of it...

Thats all... back to work tomolo.... Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
