The contract for my volunteer service rendered to Kai Oi School had been expired last month. Although I had sent an extension request letter to Kai Oi School, I still have not received approval from AVS, the governor of the service. I called Kai Oi School for the matter.

Irene called for the statistic this morning although I had sent her by email last evening. I further received an acknowledgement from Rev.Leung yy for his copy of my email. As there were no further calls from them, I thought the matter had been running smoothly.

I spent the early afternoon for clearing some of my backlogs and for my devotional time. I started packing my luggages for my trip in the evening and completed in about an hour.

Although busy, I managed to complete smoothly the registration and payment procedures for the Trip to the Noah's Ark at Ma Wan Island with the help of Kwok-leung. And further with the help of Ex am, I managed to balance the registration sheets for the information of the Church.

I am thankful that Although I failed to sleep last night, I managed to complete my work for the day.

A rainy afternoon allowed me to stay at home for clearing some of my backlogs.

Although repeating, I had no way to exclude the loving care of Ex am who always attended to my needs, sharing my troubles and views. While we were having our dinner, Kwok-leung called and told that he would deliver his goods to his client before coming back to the Church tomorrow morning to my assistance. They are angels.

Irene called and advised the similar thing as Mr.Tam jl did yesterday. As a result, the enrolled members would have to do thrice for joining the trip: the first for registration, the second for payment, and now the third for their ID numbers.

I had a dinner gathering with Mr.Ngai tf. We chatted for a number of issues including his job and in particular his relationship with his colleagues.

I happened to discovered a travel guide book for exploring HK and have bought it.

Mr.Tam jl called and informed that in order to insured those who had joined the trip to the Noah's Ark at Ma Wan Island, Irene needed to have their ID numbers. I had no objection to dial for the ID numbers but Mr.Tam jl proposed to wait for the announcement to be made on Sunday first.

Just happy that Mr.Lam pf accepted me as friend on Facebook although I had invited him a month ago.

I happened to meet a travel guide book which attracted me very much and have bought it. The book can be very helpful to extend my interests on hiking and photo shooting.

Just very busy and frustrated these days to have forgotten that 24.04.2009 would be the birthday of my oldest friend (classmate) since 1968. I called but he would be fully engaged until I am back from my trip for a gathering. This will be the first time for a belated birthday celebration with him.

Upon the invitation of Mr.Wong cy, I attended the ash burial ceremony of the late Mr.Au yw in the afternoon. The ceremony was conducted by Rev.Leung yy at the Chinese Christian Crematory at Junction Road. I had a tea gathering with Mr.Wong cy after the ceremony.

With the fading out of my frustration these days with the help of God and Ex am, I opened an account of Jonah Group for the Church with a hope of promotion of which by photos and videos.

My trip to the Silk Road had been cancelled by the Travel Agency owing to inadequate applicants. While obtaining a refund of the deposits paid, I applied a confirmed trip to FuJian of China with less days and hence less costly too. As a result of the change, I can attend the requiem and the funeral service of the late Mr.Au ck. However, I still cannot join the trip to the Noah's Ark at Ma Wan Island which will be held in the interim of either trip.

Knowing I had some frustration these days, it was very kind of Ex am to have accompained me for the day. We met at Central MTR Station and walked to the Peak. We visited the St. John's Cathedral and the green house in the Zoological and Botanical Garden on our way. We then went down to Pokfulam but it rained on our way for returning to the Peak and then back to Central by bus. We had our dinner at TST and a refreshment at YMT before we departed for home.

I had eaten the remaining rosted chicken Ex am bought for our dinner last night before I went to sleep.

Easter
With the assistance of kl, 62% in the reservation list has paid for the fees for the trip to the Noah's Ark at Ma Wan Island on 25.04.2009.

I felt uneasy for hearing some unfavourable comments, but eased off with the help of Ex am, who came to my comfort in the evening bringing along with some cooked foods he bought for our dinner.

Feeling tired, I went to bed just before 11pm leaving the undone works for tomorrow.

I had a morning tea gathering with Ex am at Tseung Kwan O and strolling around Metro City before we went to and explored the newly developed area at the waterfront. It so happened I met a then colleague "Dark Boy Kit" on our way who greeted me on his bicycle.

I attended the inauguration ceremony of the Church evening worship with Ex am in the evening.

We had a pleasant dinner gathering held by Mr.Wong t represented by Mr.Wong cy in the evening in memory to their late mother.

Good Friday
Thanks God I finished the scripture reading in the Easter worship smoothly with minor mistakes and have received some favourable comments.

We had a surprised lunch gathering with some churchmates after the Easter worship.

I went home with Ex am after lunch to meet my friend Mr.Ngai tf for opening an account of My.Opera.com for him, and demonstrated some techniques in using the features. We had a dinner gathering afterwards.

It so happened a powerpoint slide "The death of Jesus" received from a friend lately matched with the scripture (Mark 15:16~37) I am going to read at Church on Friday Easter worship. I brought along my Bible and had my lunch at the indoor stadium canteen of Shek Kip Mei Park. Afterwards, I had chosen a quiet corner in the park reading, meditating, and practicing the scripture to be read. The powerpoint slide brought me to the scene and reminded me of the great pain and the salvation Jesus did on the cross for all of us.

I happened to notice and bought a rice box from Wellcome this evening at $8.00 compared to the normal price of $20.90, a drop of some 62%.

Owing to the heavy demand of tickets for the trip to Noah's Ark at Ma Wan Island with a limited supply, I discussed with Rev.Tai kc this afternoon on the issues of selling tickets and the waiting list.

Rev. Leung yy informed the tentative requiem and funeral service for the late Mr.Ay ck would be held in the evening of 26th and the morning of 27th of the month respectively.

I will serve as the scripture reader on Friday Easter worship, and there was some difficult words in the selected scripture (Mark 15:16~37). I was thankful to Mr.Wong cy who attended to my need over the phone in the evening.

I finished my 103th blood donation today. Same as my 100th donation, my donated blood this time will go to a baby. For this reason, I had donated 350cc instead of the normal of 430cc as a baby will not need that much. In addition, I was given a gift, a rotatory clock, which gives different data from all sides of the clock.

The Church organized a group visit to the Noah's Ark at Ma Wan Island and assigned me for the registration. It was a hot registration and prompted to full house very soon.

We gathered at the Church office in the afternoon for paying a hospital visit to Mr.Au ck. When we were about to leave, we received a sad news that Mr.Au had passed away at 11am. We were sad on hearing about this.

I attended the Evangelical Mission 未完的故事 held by the Church in the evening, and served as a usher together with Kwok-leung, Ex am and more.

Received a shocking news from Kwok-leung in the evening that Mr.Au ck had stroke, fell onto the ground, fainted, and admitted hospital. Mr. Au is now in critical condition. Kwok-leung further told that the news was received by Ms Lee mh at Canada and spread the news to the Church. Rev.Leung yy, Mr.Wong cy and Mr.Lau ws etc were hurrying to the hosptial. After visiting Mr. Au, Mr.Wong cy informed that Mr. Au was still in coma.

When I left home for volunteer work this morning, I noticed a receipt in my letter box being my payment for the management fees I made yesterday. I was surprised by the prompt action in issuing the receipt beyond my worry and expectation. God answered my prayer and in excess.

I missed Mr.Ngan ys at Paul Group meeting for a long time. I reminded him about the meeting tonight over the phone and for some chattings until the meeting began.

While I was moving the pots of flowers hanging outside my windows, one of the hanging wires was broken suddenly. I wondered why the wire was so fragile. I thought it was casued by the long exposure to the sunlight and hence the heat outside. I was thankful to have known this in advance, or else the flower pots may drop and hurt others. The pots of flowers were then moved into the dining room

I deposited my cheque for payment of the monthly management fees to the management office box, to save the trouble of the chairlady in handling the payment immediately if I otherwise pay the cheque in person as in the past.

Irene of MKC called this noon inviting my usher duty for the Evangelical Mission 未完的故事 to be held on this Sunday, which I promised. Upon her request, I further invited Kowk-leung and Ex am for joining the duty.

While I was praying during my devotional time in the afternoon, an idea came to my mind for uploading the poster of the Mission to Facebook to be viewed by many. To my surprise, my deteriorating scanner, which gave clicking sound and recorded inaccurate images works perfectly well this time. The poster has been posted to Facebook successfuly. God ordered a tool to work well for His Job.
