20.1.06

last year june i did something which was said to be forbidden (by a fortune-teller in hong kong)
i was told to always wear my glasses. You spoke to me directly and my glasses was discarded and i never see the need to wear it since.

this semester i did another which was "forbidden". i was never to perform on stage or theatre or anything similar. ha! i took up the module "introduction to theatre and drama" and today was my first practical lesson. i was all smile and was in fact not my usual self. i was full of vibes the whole time, like fish in the water and birds in the sky. fantastic!

something great is happening. something powerful is unleashed!
watch out!

Praise the LORD!
Jesus rules!
(p/s: the calling is a radical one because we serve a radical God! red+blue=purple)

psalm 74:12
for God is my King from of old,
working salvation in the midst of the earth.

psalm 84:10
for a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
i would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

12.1.06


today marks the end of the first week in Singapore; from korea.
and i am not too happy about it.
the week has been filled with adjustments, such adjusting to my house, my family, my friends and my country, to name a few. things may seem to be back on track but i think these are only skin deep. things are no longer the same. to be honest, i find myself having difficulties fitting in properly. i feel exactly like a foreigner in my own country. sometimes i try returning back to my past self (the familar me before leaving korea) but felt different, it felt weird and thus did not work. i am still the cheerful guy, but just the surface. something is missing which i cannot lay my fingers on. what or who could it be. could it be You?


i wonder how korea is now?
is it still snowing?
is it cold?
do both the sun and moon appear together still?
or are they now apart from each other; like me from the country?
what are my friends doing in korea?
are they healthy?
are they well?
are they like me, going through the things which we have done?
or are such memories hidden and forgotten?
and where are You, oh mighty one?
i do not feel You as much now.
why LORD why?
could all these be undone?

we went to east coast park to skate today.
it was certainly great to meet up with friends.
omg! we looked so fair compared to singaporean.
we don't mind, at least for me. i always want to be fair and now i've gotten it.
but not for kenn, he wants to get back his tann and is doing his best.
unfortunately, it rained and was cloudy after that,
did not help a lot.
irene fell, bo hoo hoo , and had deep cuts on her leg. poor girl, be strong.

i am packed and ready to exit.
in an hour's time, all these will cease to become only memories....
God help me to keep me still
give me strength so that i may not cry
for the 6 months experience has certainly come to an end.
protect my korean friends and keep them safe from harm.
keep them so that i may continue to fellowship with them.
i love them and i love You more.

"where is bowling?"
oh gosh! there goes my english. it seems that i have successfully mastered a new language, konish. i meant to ask ' where is the bowling alley?' but nevermind, i was quickly answered followed by a weird expression from irene.

the date is 20060103, tues and today is the last day in korea for irene and me. we were meant to skate with some korean friends but we did not. instead we went for bowling and had fun. we had pabing su before departing on separate ways.

the atmosphere was indescribable. everyone is trying to hold back their tears. we joked and laughed but deep inside we knew the day had come for us to part. we would not be able see each other for a few months at least.

what we are experiencing is exactly like any typical korean drama where friends have to part because they simply have to. i think this is what love is capable of doing. love makes one long for another when it is only a short departure. if another ask me the impression i have on korea, i will definitely say, the people. the type of friendship experience in korea is something unique to me. yes unique. everyone is like a big family, sharing food and cracking jokes. perhaps i have made an unfair statement because such relationships do exist in my hometown. unfortunately, people are too busy with themselves to notice it.

friendship should be like pabing su. everyone is different but neccessary to form a whole. eventually the difference become one throught mixing and blending. whoever claimed that friendship are only to be exploited ought to have themselves examined. whatever it is, the korean are certainly strong in these fundamental areas. (i recall the times i used nothing but sounds and gesture to communicate to my korean friend who understood no english.) my heart softened and eyes swollen.

2.1.06

i came back from homestay at seung hwan's house.
the 6 days had been an enjoyable, unforgettable experience.
i was well taken care of by everyone in the family.
thank you LORD for the arrangement.
we did some window shopping. i did not buy anything because either they were too big or too expensive. hmm we went to some restaurant for good expensive food mostly sponsored by his parents. i met up with his high school friendswe had dinner, played pool and starcraft. they are the experts. the next day we went to korean bath house. you know, those public bathhouse filled with naked man in big hot tub! ha! i love it (not the naked man.... what are you thinking about?) but the feeling lah. it reminded me of my design project of the bathhouse. hmm... poor seung hwan lost his handphone there. God bless the man who took the phone.
we went mountain tracking after that. mountain covered with snow. it was on the 29th of dec. it is simply amazing, met a very nice young beautiful lady who allow us to join her to track together. she must have been God sent!
oh i went to seung hwan's high school. a bit weird walking around in school on socks. oh we have to remove our shoes - korean cultural. seung hwan wanted me to encourage them by giving a small speech in english, chinese and korean. simply amusing. i think i had done more harm than good. bad move!
the second last day falls on the 31st of dec. we have raw fishes and seafood for lunch with seung hwan's parents and god-parents. the table is spread with plenty of side dishes and i have to be constantly reminded that those are just appetizer! at night, we went to church for service which ended at 1:30am.on new year day and we went back to the church, had our services, then headed back to ansan. what a week!
