Going back to childhood

Leg got hurt. Can't go to work. Can't go back to my own home. Mother insists to take care of me and make me stay at her place. Suddenly, it's like going back to my childhood under mother's guardiance. Freeman like me, I am not sure if I will be fine with that. In fact, I worry! So far so good! Kind of enjoy being taken care of that I don't have to make any decision of what I eat, what I do next. I sleep early and get up early. More importantly, I have chance to talk about life and religion with parents. Care free and being spoiled are maybe what I really need this moment. Thanks God for knowing what I need.

Bad Hospital Experience

It is now about 4pm. I am queuing for check-up my injured knee at a public hospital.

Broken a right leg is not fun. I can't put on trousers and socks myself. I can't go out alone. It is yellow rain today. A few stairs give me headache already. It's not easy to get a cap on the slippery street. Getting on the cap is also hard for me because my leg can't bend. I have to take the whole back seat. Getting off with all my effort. So tired when waiting for the lift. Finally I get to the x-ray department. Totally one hour I have waited and everyone goes before me. Mom urged them twice but still we have to wait. My leg is pain. But when the technician asked me to turn over and over when taking the x-ray. He should know my leg can't bend but he asked me to??? Bad experience!

The doctor just said I need another 3 weeks to recover.... je suis triste!

A Visit to Poor Villages in YunNam, China

I grew up using "Hello Kitty" stationary. Dad drove me to school everyday with his Mercedes. Lacking parental care and companionship, I must admit I didn't know what is poverty. When I studied aboard, I began fall in love with travelling - big cities with high rises, new technologies, museums and opera house, Disneyland, giant shopping centers, etc. Lately, I find new interest in nature and historical monuments, but still, poor villages are never on my list. My friends and my schoolmates, they all addict in life style - purchasing brand clothing and accessaries, investing in properties, trading latest model cell phone, digital camera and Mac, travelling and clubbing. We, the group with greatest ability, spend most of our time in fulfilling our material desires. Never one second, we care for the needy. I am grateful that I have this chance to YunNam. A non-profit organization brought us , a group of 20 peoples, to poor villages in YunNam. Our goal is to help out the poor financially and gospelling. Seeing the poor is not shocking to me. But I get more than I thought from this trip. My life is more meaningful and widen. My perception of money and material is more in depth. I feel I have more inside that to give to people who need and to God. I am more grateful to what I have. I felt and hurt my knee the second last day. It's so bad that I fainted. My friend F and the leader brought me to hospital. When the doctor said the bone was broken, F cried. The first time I see her cry after knowing her for almost 15years. I never know she loves me that much! Thanks for prayers, colleagues for taking my workload, friends' care and visits, parents' care, and peace from above. All the love around me...

Now I know how much I love you...

Jason darling, I miss you so much! You left leaving an empty whole in my heart There is no one to give me warm welcome when I am home No one to share my sofa when I had my dinner No one to listen to me when I am tired of the people around No one to walk on the beach with me when there is sunshine No one to appreciate my massage There's been almost four years that we've been together Have I ever tell you or show you how much I love you? I am so regret... I should have say it to you everyday If I have one more chance, I would give the world to you Jason darling, I will always miss you Not letting anyone to replace you ... in my heart You always wanted to be my most beloved one I ensure you that you will always be, forever!
