Badminton + Gym

Feeling GREAT at the moment. I went to badminton last night and just went for a 40 mins work out at the gym. It really feels GREAT after a good sweat! Summer is coming, and I am DETERMINED to lose some weight and shape up for summer. =) oh well, I guess I give people an image that I am very sporty (I guess I am in a way, at least I used to be really sporty anyway =P), might as well live up to it. HAHA!

My colleagues have been telling me that it usually takes 21 days before something becomes a habit, so I guess I will have to try hard for the next 20 days or so to go to gym or do some sort of exercise after work.

I really hope that I will go back to the shape which I used to have during my post grad years!


This is a photo of me taken at Fishermen Bastion at Budapest in August 2003. As you can see I am a bit skinnier then, right? I am hoping that I can get back into that shape this summer.

Really have to work hard on it!

I believe???

I know that things wouldn't happen no matter how hard I try if it is not God's will. I know that He is in control of all things, and He knows what I am thinking and how I feel. I have told Him my thoughts, my pain, my confusion, my desire, and my struggles. I know that I have to cast all these to Him and let Him take control, but why am I not willing to let go 100%? Why am I wanting to do things my way in hope to make things work? I know that I am wasting my effort here, if it is not His plan and His timing.......

Learning to wait patiently and not do anything based on my own limited wisdom is hard, REALLY HARD! How much longer should I wait or do I have to wait? I know that You are letting me go through all these to train my patience. Afterall, I will have to learn to be patient before I can move onto the next stage, rite?

Please change my heart Lord, and please help me to let go and leave things at your hand. Please teach me how to wait patiently, teach me to focus on You alone, and let go... Please help me to let you take the lead and teach me to follow. God, may your will alone be done. Please grant me the strength and wisdom, the peace and joy in time of waiting. Amen.

Cell Retreat @ Blue Mountains

Our cell group had our yearly retreat at the Blue Mountains over the weekend. We rented a holiday house which was HUGE! Although it rainned the whole weekend, we managed to had a lot of fun staying indoor. We played games, I led bible study on Sat morning, and we had a nice BBQ dinner on the veranda on Sat night. We also gave Alison a suprise birthday celebration on Saturday night as well (it is her birthday today). All in all, it was a great weekend away. I am really thankful to be in this all girls group this year. We have developed good bonding and trust among the group members in the past few months. I pray that we will continue to build trust among us and be able to enocurage one another in our spiritual journey.

Here are a few picutres taken over the weekend showing how much fun we had...... enjoy!

Been lazy!!!!!!

It has been 2 weeks since my last blog entry. Man! I am so lazy these days!!!!!! When I was using HKFlash.com, I used to update my blog everyday! So, what have I been doing in these 2 weeks? Let me think back.......

I guess I spent quite a lot of time researching on information about bible colleges. I pretty much made up my mind that I want to do a Bachelor in Theology at SMBC. I wanted to do a Master level course at first, but then I thought I probably won't need to go up to that level with what I want to do in the future. I am feeling a bit relieved now that I know which course I want to do. The next challenge will be for me to save up the $15,ooo which I will need for my accomdoation when I go into F/T study in 2008! Changing my lifestyle and real work hard at saving up has not been easy, but I am sure with God's help I will be able to do it.

I am going to the Blue Mountains with girls from my cell group for weekend retreat tomorrow. We are going to a Japanese Bath House/ Hot Spring on Sunday morning as well. I am really looking forward to it. =) I will post photos from the trip when I get back next week.
