My beloved mother used to call me "ah pig" in her later years rather than "Jonathan" or "Shun-sang" in her earlier years. "Pig" usually carries a negative sense of laziness, clumsiness or obesity. I understood she had chosen the nick name to express her deep love, intimacy, and affection on me that no other names might truly express. Likewise, a person might weep for joy rather than to laugh. I am thankful to Ex am who came to my companion in the evening. We had chosen a restaurant for dinner where we had never been there before.

I received a phone call from Mr.Fung, a then churchmate chatting on how we were going on recently as we had not seen each other for a long time.

Glad to open a Living-Water group on Facebook. Sad that Ex am quited his present job for the tight relationship with his colleague. Happy the mansion has installed HD TV reception devices.

I am glad the number of members of MKC on Facebook has reached 100. Our planned trip to GuangDong of China has been cancelled by the travelling agency owing to inadequate enrolled members. Kwok-leung and I got a refund from the travelling agency this afternoon and enrolled to a cheaper trip for the same period. I also wanted to enroll the trip to Eastern Europe recommended by my other friend but the fees rose by HK$600 for giving up at the moment.

10.05.2009 (Sun)
Kwok-leung and I presented a prayer recommended by Ms Lee mh to Mr.Yu sn, director of the Pauls' Group, for the members and to be shared by Ms.Kwan yf in the coming meeting. Kwok-leung and I had bought a swimming trunk for each of us for use in enjoying geyser during the coming trip. Mr.Wong cy inivted Ex am and I for joining a tea gathering with some churchmates in the afternoon. During when Mr.Wong disclosed the church committee board had accepted Ex am member during the last interview. Mr.Wong called again in the evening to express his welcome and his appreciation to the performance of Ex am.

My friends (a couple) have joined a 7-days trip to the Eastern Europe scheduled early next month and invited my companion with them. I checked my calender and found it would be possible for me to join the tour. I picked my PRC Passport from the bank this morning. I will invite my other friend to join me. The fees of the trip is discounted at HK$5,999 compared to the original of HK$9,599 during the peak season. To cope with my growing interest on travelling, I bought a book "Travel Around Europe" today, in addition to the other one "Travel Around China" I bought earlier. Photo I bought some items from the supermarket in the evening but they didn't cost me a cent, because I settled the bill by using the earned Octopus Awards. Photo

I prayed for God would protect me from danger everytime I rendered my volunteer service to the mentally retarded. There was no exception this morning I prayed before I started my service. While I was serving, a member bumped his forehead against mine as someone was pushing him, which caused me pain for a while. But if he bumped a bit lower, onto my pair of eyeglasses, that might break the glasses and hurt my eyes. God listens my prayer. During the monthly Paul's group meeting in the evening, Mr.Yu sn asked if the anonymous churchmate received blood transfusion lately. As I could not tell lies, I replied that "yes, he did". I posted one of the 512 SiChuen big earthquake video onto facebook and attracted Bruce, an active friend on facebook, for chatting with me on it for half an hour. This is the first time Brace chatted with me on facebook.

After serving my volunteer work at Kai Oi School in the morning, I went to the SKM Sports Centre for my lunch. I accidentally dropped the cup of CocaCola onto the table and also onto the ground. I stayed at home for most of the afternoon clearing my backlogs, and uploading photos to facebook. I went shopping in the supermarket after taking my dinner at home and found the brand of milk I am used to drink was sold at low price of HK$7.90 in 1 liter for buying some. Photo

06.05.2009 (Wed)
I planned to visit the anonymous churchmate in the evening. In connection to this, I planned for an excursion to Tsuen Wan in the afternoon. Following the guide book I bought lately, I took the MTR to Tsuen Wan Station, then took the KMB 234B to the "Airport Core Programme Exhibition Centre" at Ting Kau. I first visited the exhibition hall for photos and models, and then went to the roof, where I could have a paramount view of the Tsing Ma Bridge and the Ting Kau Bridge. I took a number of photos and videos there. When I departed, I walked along the Castle Peak Road towards Tsuen Wan and took more photos on my way. I took the West Rail at Tsuen Wan home in the evening for I received a phone call from the churchmate that he had been discharged from hospital after receiving 4 packages of blood. I bought a half roast chicken at Olympic Station for my dinner. Photos Video Facebook

05.05.2009 (Tue)
I was having lunch at SKM Sports Centre when Kwok-leung called and advised that he would be busy for not visiting our anonymous churchmate who would admit hospital today for blood transfusion. I was very tired for went to sleep in the evening. Woke up and found Ms Kwan cw had made friend with me and more on Facebook. I am thankful to Kenneth who made translation to the replying email from My.Opera.com for my understanding.

Enrolled a 2-days trip with Kwok-leung to the northern GuangDung Province during mid month. Received a good news from Kwon-leung that his elder son would get married soon. Received an email reply from my.opera.com. However, the non-edit problem persists at the moment.

03.05.2009 (Sun)
A busy day for me in serving the morning and the noon worship as usher, and checking donations in the afternoon. It is very kind of Exam who came to my comfort in the evening and concluded our gathering with a dinner in noodles and vegetables. Watoto lingers on my mind.

02.05.2009 (Sat)
I had pleasure today with the companion of Exam for attending a concert by The Watato Children's Choir held at the Hop Yat Church. Photos We had a dinner gathering with Kwok-leung who joined us. I bought some face masks upon the request of Mr.Wong cy on behalf of the Church before we went home for a discussion of a pleasant trip.

01.05.2009 (Fri)
Today is Labour Public Holiday. I met Exam at Central Star Ferry Pier. We took a minibus to The Peak. We walked to the summit and the surrounding area. We walked via the Pokfulam Reservoir Trail to the Pokfulam Christian Cemetery, and paid homage to my deceased parents and relatives. We finished our gathering with a dinner at the Cooked Food Center at Sai Wan. Photos

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. Photos With a delightful feeling, I prepared my dinner at home with one of my favourite canned food menu, Fried Dace in Soya Beans. Simple, cheap, and delicious! I went out to do some shopping after cleaning my dishes.

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.

18.04.2009 (Sat)
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.

17.04.2009 (Fri)
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. Photo

16.04.2009 (Thu)
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. Photo

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. Jonah Group

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.

13.04.2009 (Mon)
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. Photo

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.

11.04.2009 (Sat)
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. Photos 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.

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. Photos

I attended the Church Jonah Group bi-weekly meeting this morning, which celebrated its 2nd birthday. It was the first time I handled the powerpoint slide show during the meeting. Photos I obtained a print-out of the scripture to be read on Friday Easter worship from the Church office, and brought it to the Tai Hang Tung Recreation Playground for walking and practicing the scripture while taking rest there. Photos Video Participated in the Easter Joint Holy Communion held by the CCC Council in the evening of the Church.

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%. Photo

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. Video

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. Photos Video After the event, we had a dinner gathering with Ms Kwan cw.

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.

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 Photo and bathroom Photo. God prevented an accident from happening. 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. Photo
