Change my heart O God

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

Puzzled!!!

Am I hard to understand or am I speaking in a language from Mars? How come people don't seem to understand what I am saying these days?

Is there something wrong in the way I communicate or??????

God, YOU know what I am going through and YOU certainly know my struggles. Father, please give me strength and wisdom in dealing with things/ people which I am finding hard to deal with. Pray that I will have the patience in helping others in understanding me better and vice versa.

Delay in getting my new toy! :(

I was really looking forward to getting my new toy tonight from Gwai. He was supposed to pick it up for the shop for me this afternoon, but I got a call from him this morning saying there are delay in my card payment. As a result, I won't be able to get my laptop until Tuesday at the earliest. (I have to go to Villawood with her after work to have my credit card verified before the transaction can go through?!)

I have got volleyball training on Monday after work, so won't be able to go to pick up my laptop. oh well, I guess I just have to have patience in using my old one for another few days. Disappointed, but can't help it. :(

Good bye to my VAIO

It is finally time for me to say good bye to my SONY VAIO. I guess my VAIO is some what special to me, as it is the first laptop I ever bought myself. It was very expensive (cost me $3,999 4 years ago!).

I guess the trip to Taiwan, all the transit was a bit too much for my VAIO. It decided not to function properly since the first day I got back.... there were problems booting it up, problems in charging the battery, problems with the AC power inlet, and problems with it hibernating from time to time (I guess that is b/c of the problem with power supply)! I was hoping that I will wait till next year to buy a new laptop, but all the signs are telling me my VAIO is probably not going to last till then!

I am looking forward to spending time on my new laptop. I have decided to go with ASUS this time. (I guess I am really turning into a Taiwanese, huh??!!!) The model I am getting is A6J. It has all the things I wanted on a laptop, and the price is quite reasonable. :) Hopefully, I will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my VAIO initially. :P

Transferring data from my old laptop to my new one is gonna be a tedious task.... I think I will just leave that to Gwai and Griffon to fix for me. Haha.

Beef noodles (牛肉麵) set for 245NT?????

I went to a Taiwanese cafe near church for lunch with some church friends after service today. I was delighted in going to a Taiwanese cafe, thinking that it is going to bring back good memories of my time in Taipei. However, when I looked at the menu, I was shock to know how much more we have to pay for a bowl of beef noodles which is not even half as tasty as the ones we had in Taipei! At the cafe we were at, a bowl of beef noodles costs $8, which is approximately 196NT. A standard pearl milk tea (500mL) cost $5.5, which is approximately 135NT. The cafe offers a beef noodles set at a discounted price of $10.50, equivalent to 245NT. That is nearly 4 times what we pay in Taipei!!!

I really miss all the good food we can find at Shi Da! The Nicholsons are truely blessed to be living in such a nice area surrounded with good restaurants and night market.

I miss Taiwan. I guess Taipei has became my second home. Really look forward to returning there one day.

Roland's wedding

I went to my cousin, Roland's wedding today. I really enjoyed it. It was such a beautiful wedding. Although it wasn't as grand as the Fiona's, but it was really warm and loving. While I was sitting in the chapel listening to their vows to each other, there were tears in my eyes. I was so glad that they are finally together and tied the knot after being apart for a few years.

Roland and Gazal met in Nepal while Rol was working with AusAid over there. Gazal is a Nepalese born in India but grew up in Nepal. In the past few years they have been living in different countries, but that didn't stop them in loving each other. I guess they are meant to be together and God has really blessed them in their relationship. I pray that God will bless their new family and that the family will walk with the Lord for generations to come.

While at the wedding, I had the chance to catch up with a lot of my cousins and relatives as well. Many of them were interested in how my trip was. I shared with a few of them the wonderful experience I had, and mentioned to them that I am hoping to go into bible college next year if God is willing. All of my cousins were excited in knowing that God has called me to serve Him ful time, they were all willing to pray for me regularly from now on. My cousin Lyndon and his wife Kath even mentioned that they are willing to support me on a monthly basis while I am at college and when I go out in the field. How encouraging is that!!!!!!

I am so blessed by the Lord in having such wonderful Christians in my extended family. They have certainly been a great support to me. I have asked them to pray for my parents that they will have peace from the Lord when I share my vision and intention with them. I know that God is a gracious God and He answer prayers. I am sure He will perform miracles according to His will. May His name be glorified alone!

Tomorrow is my first day back at church after being away for 5 weeks. Pray that I will know how to share my experience with brothers and sisters tomorrow and that my sharing will be a blessing and encouragement to them.

Frist post on Blogspot!

I have finally decided to migrate my blog to Blogspot in order to cater for all my friends who don't read Chinese. In the past, I have been writing my blog on a site called HKflash.com. The site interface is all in Chinese, but since I can read Chinese, I didn't think it would cause problems for friends who can't read Chinese! Oh well, I guess I am just not thinking through properly when I first signed up on that site. Anyway..... here I am at the new MDGarage (yet again!!!!! It has migrated from My Space on MSN to HKflash, and now to Blogspot!)

I hope by migrating to Blogspot, all of my friends will find it easier to keep in touch with me, know my whereabouts, and also share with me some happy or unhappy things that are happening in life.

I haven't been keeping my blog up to date since mission ended about 2 weeks ago. I guess I have been really lazy! However, I will try my best to make sure my post are up to date. Hope you guyswil enjoy reading my posts.
