Amazing!
Hahah, god is so amazing. Sometimes, he just wanted to test if you would take a leap of faith and guess what this morning, 6 people turned up unexpectedly at her event and she did not need me to make up the numbers!!Hoo Hoo..that means even though I have to wake up early to go with her, I am now in the library working on all the assignments. Spring break doesn't look like a break at all!Thank god for making everything work for us and teach me a good lesson on putting others priorities above yours when somebody whom you are not close really need your help!Lord, you certainly have your own ways!:)

Dilemma
God tested me today! Will I put other person 's interest above my priorities when I knew that by helping her, I will end up miserable and stress for the next few days?
Guess what is the decision. I did
Is so hard to come to this decision.My heart is unwilling but I am still going
God must have been so amazing to die on the cross for sinners just like me, someone whom he din even meet before.Can I do the same to someone who isn't close to me any all?

Yinan and Joshua
8 March 2008
Yinan has left Beijing to join Lei. I can't believe how fast that was. Well, I remembered two years ago, when we were in NYC for a short summer vacation, we were in their apartment for two months. We ski with them in Vermont and had great hot pot prepared by Lei. Gosh, they were such a sweet couple. And now she is returning to Beijing to join Lei who has chosen to work in Goldman Sacs in China. Sad. One lesser friend whom I got along well in NYC. I wish you guyz all the best in your endeavors back home.
On another note, the evening concert in Carnegie Hall with Yvonne turned out splendid and made my day!Just because we did not expect that a student rush $15 dollars ticket,would allow us to watch the top American classical violinist, Joshua Bells, live in performance in Carnegie Hall.

KNICKS vs DETROIT
7 March 2008
Okies I am not exactly a KNICKS fan. But since I am in NYC, I might as well be. But then, what a let down after all the efforts of getting a ticket to go to Madison Square Garden to watch them in a stormy rainy night!! After a close fight, they lost two points to the PISTON from Detroit. Alright, but it was fun just watching a live match in MSQ. The neon lights, the sound effects, the great band and cheerleaders and the whole roaring crowd made your adrenaline rush. Is an experience but I am not sure I will be back for another round of KNICKS game. Maybe if there is a L.A Lakers or Chicago Bulls,I might watch it again. Just to reminisce the old days in high school when I would only watch NBA because there were Michael Jordan and etc.Well, all for the thrill of it for a cheap ticket and an experience in MSQ. Anyway, the Singaporeans are going for Alicia Key's concert in June in MSQ. Dank!They would have so much fun!

True Discipleship Celebration
2 March 2008
I felt really lifted up when we have the True Discipleship Celebration on the Sunday two weeks ago. It is a mid term progress celebration for all the four groups who have been doing the book on Gospel Transformation. A time to share testimonies and how the past half a year fellowship and exercises in the book have been withnessed in each other's life. It was great just seeing how everyone is lifted up by the studies. Great evening just immersing and spending time with these brothers and sisters in Christ even though there were tons of assignments undone yet.

Sese in NYC!
1 March 2008
Sherine was here in NYC for her business trip over the weekend and we met up and I stayed over at her suite in Ritz Carlton for two nights. It was such fun meeting your secondary school fren and catching up on the silly stuff ever. I felt so sad when she had to leave. It was always nice to have someone familiar and endearing to you from home. I wish she can stay here for a longer period of time. Anyway,it was nice catching up with her and withnessing all her shopping treats along Saks Fifth Ave. Thanks babe for being such a dear fren. I wish I could be a better host in the midst of all these circumstances.I pray that whatever you wish for could come true. No worries and be happy.
