HK -> Boston
24 hours in flight and airport really mean something: TIRED.
Everything goes ok, until arriving at Chicago. The flight to Boston was delayed, but even after boarding, another 1.5 hours. Finally we arrive in Boston at midnight, and get the car rental, arriving at Hong's about 1:30...
Thank you Hong...
HK Trip Oct 18
My very last day in HK, a busy day.
In the morning I pay a visit to Disneyland, oops… it should be the garden leading you to Disneyland. Yup…that’s good enough for me…
In the afternoon, having lunch with a student that went back to HK this school term.
As I am in Mongkok, so I am also picking up souvenirs that I bought for friends and good friends. Don’t worry friends, you will know what I am talking about when you have it.
Rushing to Chai Wan for a long-time friend, my used-to-be prayer partner… without him, I am sure I won’t be a servant of God now… He just came out for a drink and seeing each other for a short while. Raymond, thank you.
Making me the worst of the day is that I thought that the dinner tonight was at 8 before my student called. I was window shopping at Elements at the time… I rush there and I am glad that I rush there as the buffet was wonderful… thank you Pinky and your family…
Late night, I spent the last night with a friend who need a lot of support in HK...
and I do so by making her spending the night in Mongkok with a WHITE ball dress...
I feel sorry about her... but really appreciate the time we spend in HK last two weeks... thank you...! So, remember, when you feel lonely, there will always be friends, and of course I am one of them, in Canada who always support you... so, be strong....

HK Trip Oct 17
今天不是十分開心...又或者應該話我今日的心情有好多起起跌跌，有開心，也有唔開心。。。有好多感觸...
下午，同QQ出去吃大家樂，好滋味，好開心...
然後，我去到九龍公園去咗睇學界游泳錦標賽，叫做去支持吓Ｄ小師弟。雖然我們只係全場第二，但係見到佢地個School Spirit，就十分開心，起碼一班師弟總算記得我地St. Joesph’s 的團結精神，將Ｄ自以為好勁的人教訓一吓，真開心，好感動。
晚上，本來同個朋友出去吃飯，但係佢公司好忙，佢完全出唔到嚟，唔係幾開心。不過，之後同咗一班以前基石的弟兄姊妹出咗去食飯同飲嘢，幾開心，因為真係無見佢地好耐。
我今日其實有Ｄ唏噓。點解？我都唔係好知。當我在尖東等我朋友的時候，我要去找東西吃。都唔知道係我在多倫多吃得太多，還是我個人真係無主見，我竟然係唔知道食甚麼好。然後我又見到人家一對對咁係尖東海旁，我自己就一個人做海明威的師弟，企住係到拍「青年與海」...
呢個時候，我就係到想，究竟係我真係唔知自己要甚麼，定係我真係好似這個香港之行Ｄ人話我嘅揀擇？唔知呢…我又唔覺我在揀，好似係人地揀我多Ｄ！好似我揀食甚麼一樣，係人都知我食甚麼都可以，咁點解我又揀唔到？我只係想要一Ｄ食咗之後會開心Ｄ的野食，咁都有錯？到最後，揀來揀去，都係揀番一開始就想食嗰間。唉！仲要去到最後都食唔到…！神啊，究竟我要等到幾時先可以揀到我又想要，佢又想揀我嘅呢？
唉…真係百般知味在心頭…！

Wanna pay a visit, check out here: http://tadpolestudio.com.hk/

Dinner with some returned Canadian friends, Shirley and Joanne. Yummy...
And finally I meet some TCCF alumni for a drink... Guys, really wanna to thankyou for giving me such a good time...

Today, I visit Yan Fook Church again. This time is for service.
It is a total different feeling compare to my visit to the building on thursday, Oct 12.
Last time when Pastor Vincent and Judy took me to walk around, the church was so quiet...
and today, the line up was huge, not only to get in, but to get out...
The sermon was not only great, but super...!
And... after Sunday service, I am glad to have dinner with some old friends from Ottawa. Really miss them... haven't seeing them for years...
In the afternoon, I have a drink with a mentor-type friend. He reminds me a lot... Yes... should I really think about leaving? Why think yourself to be the savior when people already think that you are satan? He reminds me about this:究竟是『眾人皆醉我獨醒』，還是『眾人皆醒我獨醉』? Talking about experience, they have more than you do. Spirtuality, they should be much better than you do. Maturity, forget it, how can I be more mature than they do? So, yeah, stop complaining. Stop bitter. Just shut up and work...!!!
At night, have dinner with Shirley. I enjoy everytime we chat, as it will always be encouraging... God, thank you for giving me this friend...

HK Trip Oct 11-13
Window shopping and shopping...
HK things are cheap, but the only problem for me to travel in HK is also that reason. The things are cheap, but should I buy it or not? Why buying them? That is one of the struggle for me during these three days. I have no money to spend, so I have to control myself in using money. But when you saw the price, its so tempting...
Seeing Terry, Stanley, Alice and... Raymond thursday nite, so happy to see them. Most of them are back to church life, thanks God.
Friday afternoon, visit my home school at the interschool swimming competition. Wow... 24sec for C-grad 50 Freestyle, what a time...! I am old, really old. Especially when I leaving Kowloon Park with MTR and saw two of my little F1 schoolmates, they left with their parents carrying their swimming bags for them, really jealous...!
Thank you Michael for bringing me to have 大排擋食雞燉翅... yummy...!
Saturday daytime, running thru HK cemeteries to visit grandpa(s) and grandma... Bye, see you some years after, hopefully I will come back soon to visit you people again...
In the evening, my uncle brings me to 中環鏞記食燒鵝... make my HK trip so fulfilling...!
At night, thanks God for bringing me a friend to walk 廟街 with me, so that I don't need to go thru this historic part of Hong Kong alone.
Tomorrow will go 恩福 worship and seeing friends from my university years in Ottawa. Guys, I really miss you... see you tomorrow...!

HK Trip Oct 7
It was a wonderful Sunday for me.
In the morning
I was wondering if I were back to my homeland, as I knew less then ten sentences on the bus and walking to Sogo in CausewayBay... the whole area was full of Philippines. Mission is the only word occupying my mind... "oh NO! Please, just give me a break... Ha Ha" I told God.
The worship at Tung Fook Church was wonderful. It was energetic and touching. But the message was a bit short, as it was so good and I want to listen more...
In the afternoon
Elita and I walk thru the whole CausewayBay and WanChai (poor Elita... she was walking on heels...!) and we visit the famous (and old) Boston Restaurant. Its still that good...! We have FlameBeef, and taste very good.
If you have facebook, you can view the video here.
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=18954691224
I also visit my place of early childhood: St. Joseph's College Primary School. So many memories... Wanna see my school? Click here...
In the evening
We met Adeline and we have the chance to watch the show "A Symphony of Lights" 「幻彩詠香江」. This nightly spectacle combines interactive lights of 44 key buildings on both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon with musical effects to showcase the vibrancy and glamorous night vista of Victoria Harbour. It is amazing...!
I put a bit into my facebook video:
Symphony of Lights 1 and Symphony of Lights 2
In the night
The Symphony of Lights inspired us to visit a place I haven't been there for around 20 years... THE PEAK...!!! Everything there were changed. New buildings, new bus terminal, higher bus fare, except one thing: the nightview is still the best...! Dear Lord, THANK YOU...!

Hong Kong Trip Oct 4-6
Wow, after 16 years, i finally got the chance to really feel the home where I grow up... HONG KONG.
Oct 4
我今天有時間去行街，結果自己一個人去行旺角。沒有甚麼可以買，因為唔想用太多錢。但係都忍唔住係上次返香港時買左對波鞋的一間鞋店買了一對皮鞋。可能個sales見我問題都唔多條就買左對鞋，仲靜靜地比左對襪我。可能真係要多謝對面同個仔試同一款鞋個阿媽，佢由我入去個吓，到我走個陣都仲係問緊問題...哈哈...做我生意真係好易，只要你話係平靓正，個樣唔好比我覺得你騙我，你就可以騙到我的生意，幾好?!?!
多得無線套「天幕下的戀人」，我就係咁見到「朗豪坊」三個字就想入去睇下個天幕...哈哈，我都話好易tum架啦... 入去之後覺得個商場個design真係唔錯，不過個天幕就有點失望，可能是我太大期望啦... 又或者係自己一條友去天幕，邊會有feel呀? sigh...
Oct 5/6
Grandma is leaving us la... Bye...! When she is leaving, the picture of grandma's come up to my mind scene after scene... really 有點唔捨得...
Oct 6
可以係香港見到一個從巴拿馬到中國做工的女仔阿芳，見到佢又有返教會，人又開心，真係好放心。不過分手後才記得無同佢影相，真失敗...!
晚上同一個以前OCDA的姊妹Rita去了Soho一間coffee pub Pop Bites聽了一個都可以話係另頖的音響，有黃志淙同劉以達。原來劉以達真人真係正經過上鏡好多。
