Epic win

from last night, i successfully replaced ang in the photos on top of ah poh's tv
and this was epic win as i was never there since i ever remember

my second epic win was that i successfully washed the dishes at ah poh's place
and i bet you NO ONE else has ever done that with ah poh around


then today went second hand CD shopping at Wan Chai with Wendy <3
not without having this awesomely cheap lunch at 華星冰室


super thick toast with awesome fried egg is awesome.

Second hand CD shopping took basically the rest of the day.. and it was only within one building, 4 shops
result was insane.


i myself bought a total of six, four as above, another two in my second round there with Johnson
oo1; Faye Wong - some kind of best of
oo2; Coldplay - X & Y for HKD38
oo3; Kangta - some more best of
oo4; Stevie Wonder - some random album but it was for 5HKD so who cares what it is XD
oo5; Clazziquai Project - Mucho Punk for 38HKD
oo6; sound track from Long Vacation and Love Generation for 19HKD

and i thought that was SO CHEAP FOR SO MANY!!!

but no... that other girl...


"many of those i've been wanting to buy for a long time ga la~~~"
yes yes we believe you =P

after that i was taken around wan chai being a tourist by a macau-ian
and was forced to take tourist-y photos



then Johnson and i ran home for dinner with many people and babies and cats and it was great fun :-)
and we think sake doesn't make us drunk or red as much as red wine does

and i really need to sleep now cos there's church and the fellowship and then dinner with Royceanna and TYC tomorrow

YAY I LOVE FOCUS TIMES!


---
I thank God for giving us Sabbaths for us to rest from our busy worldly business.
I pray that I really would set this day apart, keeping it holy, and use the time to remember the Lord's grace.

Someone else's family day

visited Cherry Tong's church's high school fellowship (lol)
the four of us, Bonnie, Cherry Tong, Johnson and me, walked in "Celia" style
guess we didn't scare them as much as we thought

young girls scream a lot and at a really high pitch these days
they were quite friendly though
awesome cake eating style
unfortunately we're most prob too old to stay in that fellowship :x

then joined Johnson's family for random family mj gathering
learnt how to play china style mj
very fast and nervous and exciting O_O
won $70 for Johnson during his toilet break~ oh yeah
his family were all generally cute :D
i think his yee ma loves me already cos i think she's also a nurse and i'm an awesome nurse daughter XDDD


came back home with a bunch of mum and dad's classmates from theology school
after they left dad tried to cut the cats' (note position of apostrophe) nails
vikki went through totally fine cos he's awesome like that
but in attempt to catch dingding...




yea that was basically the main point of this blog.

I thank God for already giving me opportunities to serve at church in Hong Kong,
I pray that I will have a humble servant heart and so would willingly use the gifts that God has given me for the  edification of the church.

p.s. the anatomical position dingding's leg + foot disturbed me greatly :x

Day off

Yesterday i had my first weekday off since i started working last week...

began the day nice and early cos we're poor
early session is HKD55 instead of the HKD100 at night!!
the two of us saved HKD90 in total!!

before we walked in to watch Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader
we walked in and out of KFC failing to get portugese tarts for breakfast.

so we scrapped that and just walked into the cinema.
move was alright.
CGs still pretty, kids were... arguably less annoying than before, Prince Caspian still hot XD
but everything just seemed really rushed.
nothing in particular impressed me very much... just everything was quite pretty in general?
i feel like the movie didn't do the book justice even though i haven't read the book, hence i shall read the book... some time soon.
it is at least on my list of bedtime stories to read to my children when i have some XDDDD

then we walked into 信和 to both look for 2nd hand amei/faye or whatever CDs, as well as sell my signed Bosco EP T__________________T
after looking through the shop and failing to find the amei CD i wanted, i gathered all the courage i had in the little volume i have and asked the shop owner if i could sell my CD here.

he kindly asked, what have you got?
i reluctantly uttered, er... em... i've got... a... er... signed.... Bosc-
"no i don't want bosco"

T_____________________________________________T

i don't blame him, really i don't.


had lunch that was accompanied by HK style french toast (lol how does that work)
then went to wan chai for Johnson's briefing~ that went for 2 hours.
did not know wan chai, or at least that section of wan chai, literally has nothing to see :x
ended up sitting in a Pacific Coffee Company in the corner, ordered a latte in english and gave the girl at the counter a slight shock, received a large mug of bitter coffee with very thick and dense foam...
doesn't matter, i paid for the comfy couch and air-con, not for the coffee =P
*wishes i had better camera phone to take picture*

we took a dingding to Causeway Bay, because i don't like mtr-ing everywhere :-)
walked around some more, compulsively bought a beanie because johnson said i looked good in a beanie
and i've been wanting a long thin one that dangles at the back so i can wear when i get off the plane
thought it was reasonable price, so i tried on a few, decided on the one to get, and the sales lady told me a completely different price.
no she didn't lie to me.
she did tell me they had a price range.
i was just stupid enough not to ask...
oh well at least it's pretty


after steak dinner at Cafe de Coral (lol) we walked around some more in attempt to find dessert.
ended up spending the money on these cos Johnson really liked the grey dress, (i sound like i'm blaming him for all my purchases but no i thought they were really pretty as well) and they were 170 for one, 300 for two!
I'm justified right?! yes i am =P
i said i'll buy less in america.
i will.
really.



On my only day off, i was stupid enough to walk my little legs off again.
so we planned a day of MJ at home tomorrow waha

Repetitively materialistic days like these make it so hard to live the Christian life and so easy to forget God's grace.

---

I thank God for all the brothers and sisters in Christ He has given me in this life to remind me to look forward to my future eternal home, and that this place, is not my home.
I pray that this believe could be seen in the way I'm living now.

開心上班去

這幾天在病房上班
雖然忙的時間累很多
但也多了很多跟同事門聊天的時候

今天他們讓我把blood sample放進袋裡送去化驗
一支支新鮮的血拿在手上 暖暖的 感覺有點奇怪 有點恐怖

但Benny說 不
恐怖的排行榜...是
oo1; 冷的血
oo2; 暖的小便
oo3; 才到暖的血
便派早餐去了...


午餐後當 Evelyn 買電去的時候
媽便忙著約明天的麻將局

我說
lunch time 時候organise 打麻將?!

媽說
當然! 要不然上班的時候organise嗎?!

過了一會兒 媽再說
上班的時候是用來or~ 屎的 XD

sigh my mum.

I thank God for providing me with a wonderful temporary work environment,
and for a hilarious mum who most of the time communicates well with me.
