Merry Christmas

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with a child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Consellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Luke 2:11 Today in the town of David, a Saviour has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. Let us all rejoice and be blessed on this wonderful and joyous day. Merry Christmas.

Jia you!

After about a month since I logged on to our family blog, I thought nothing had changed. But I just went through the blogs that you had posted. Ryan, jia you! Something that I noticed, Dad had been trying to get in touch with you every night, now dad even know how to use MSN and Sykpe..hehe..you have indirectly help him to go online..hehe.. Is tough to stay out of the country where your family and friends were, is even tougher to know that you have no other choice but to work your ass out. No matter what, I'll support you..lol Jia you!

团圆大过天

This year's 过冬 falls on 21st of December. I guess its the only year that Ryan unable to join us for this reunion dinner :( Anyway, i woke up late so i didn't get to help mum to make 汤圆. Or else, you'll see the rainbow 汤圆. LOL. The soup with ginger and pandan leaves inside. Then, the 汤圆 is ready to eat! yum yum! Cannot be less! There are home-cooked foods besides 汤圆 ! Real fulled. This chili is damn yummy! Especially when it is matched with the chicken.

I'm sure Ryan is missing the foods and the soups mummy cooked!

Am sure you already start drooling over the keyboard!

Am glad that he also celebrated 过冬himself by eating McD!

Happy Guo Dong People!

过冬快乐

I think this is the first time that i'm not celebrating 过冬 at home with my family. This is always the time to gather as one, to eat and to laugh. I miss all that. Dad told me to get something nice to eat and basically, eat something. So i had my 过冬lunch @ McDonald's. This is a Double Big Mac with fries and coke. It cost 152 Baht. And I couldn't finish the fries and the coke at the end. I know you guys had fun, so happy 过冬！

Going to church

Been wanting to go to church, even before i came here. Was always too lazy, too early, too many other things to do... all different excuses. Now that I'm here, I still have all sorts of excuses to prevent me from going. Devil's at work, maybe? But I've decided against all my excuses and pick up the intiative to go. I've found one church,Evangelical Church of Bangkok. It's not near where I'm staying. Getting there would take me about 40 mins - 45 mins, including the time needed for me to walk to the nearest train stations. I'm getting tired, physically, from walking everyday. But I guess, looking at the life that I have here, walking seems to be the best way for me to stay healthy. I hope. The church is made up mainly expats, english speaking people to be exact. The pastors and even the elders of the church seems to be from USA. The atmosphere is quite ok, nothing for me to dislike. And you know, I can be picky at times. And the pastors seems to be really lively and very practical in their preaching. So, I think that's a plus point. God willing, and I'm not too full of excuses, I'll stay with this church when I'm here in Bangkok.

Exercise

Everyone knows that we need to have regular exercise to keep us healthy, but not all would do it. I've been playing regular sports when i was in KL, futsal and badminton every Monday and Wednesday. Sometimes if i'm not lazy, i'll even jog. After 1+ week in Bangkok, i've not done any sports neither have i found anywhere that i can do sports. Except to jog, maybe. However, i do think that i'm doing regular exercise everyday.... I walk to work everyday. Walking is the best way to keep one healthy. Gandhi used to do it. He even made it a point to walk everyday for 30 mins, i think. He said, good diet and walking a lot helps keep one healthy. Now, my office and my place is about 5-10 mins away by car, if no traffic. Seems near? I thought so too... Everyday i'll be spending at least 40 mins walking to reach my office and 40 mins walking back from my office. It's tiring, and when i reach home/office, i'll be sweating like a pig (does pig sweat a lot?). There are many transportation options available, taxi, bus, motorcycle taxi... but i told myself, if i stop walking for even once, then i know i'll definitely not walk to work anymore. Who would if you can have an easier option??? I know i wouldn't. So hopefully, without much sports, i would still be able to keep myself healthy, albeit a little, by walking a lot. And i mean A LOT.... btw, i'm eating healthier too... i think....

Some pictures...

On my way to KLIA. Hotel Lobby, The Inn Saladaeng. Nice cosy place, boutique hotel as they call it now.

The room that i'm staying in. It's not big, but it's enough.

I've left home for a week, and it has not been all rosy and easy. Everything has to be cramped into 1 week, meetings, education fairs, learning the many beuracratic stuffs that exist here, as well as to get an apartment within that period, actually only within 2 days. But i've found a place, learnt some stuffs, and ready to get going. It'll still be tough, i can expect that much. The more i'm alone here, the more i've realised that i've changed so much from the guy i thought i was. I'm no longer as confident, no longer as optimistic, no longer young. But God has been gracious as well as stern for all these while. I've wasted a lot of time and energy, but yet, He still gave me tonnes of opportunity to really do something. I don't know would i fail Him and those that care for me, but i pray that i will not fail. As Eminem once said, "Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not"....
