I'm Back Guys!!!

It's been quite a while since I updated my blog. My apologies to all the guys who are anxiously waiting for me to get back to you. Thank you for your patience with me. The last few months was a bit busy getting ready to go home and then finally home unable to really get time to write mails etc. I had a great time while at home with my family and now I'm back to the place where I call HOME!!

I'm settling back fine into my city and it makes me feel like this is where I belong. I realized this time much more how much I have grown to love this place and the people. I live in a small foreigner community within a bigger Chinese community and sometimes I often feel very displaced. My experiences over the last few years of living with a group of foreigners among thousands of Chinese people has helped me to blend the two cultures together and now I have less culture shocks...i.e, the east and the west. Dad is growing me in different areas of my life and I'm still learning. I want to thank you all guys for your constant support and encouragement. Hope to catch up with you more often.

I want to leave you a few of my latest shots......

Detour- Moments that cannot be bought !!!

Sometimes the most memorable incidences in our life comes when we least expected them. Something that never went missing in our Univ. organised trips is to get lost in the expressway at least once before reaching our destination. This time instead of getting lost the driver brought the wrong identification card for the vehicle after being on the road for about 2 hours. Phone calls were made and arrangements were made to deliver the necessary documents. For those who are mere passengers we had to wait without complaining :). We decided to venture into the interior of the village and it was an interesting sight to see. There are some people building a house, some selling vegetables in their tricycle, some doing cement works, etc. One activity that interests us most was a lady washing clothes on the side of the road. She was washing clothes in a tub and just next to her was a washing machine connected with a long cable from the house which was at least 5 meters away. We tried to figure out the exact connection between the washing machine and the washing by the hand. We had a good time chatting with the people trying to figure it out but our language was not enough to help us understand exactly how they wash clothes. We also had an interesting time chatting away with the villagers who happen to pass by at that time too. Even though my look was not so unfamiliar to them, my Caucasian friends were definitely interesting for them.

This picture interests me because it looks like a "Thlam" and its truly beautiful.

Security Issues....

Gone are the days when people use just a bamboo stick or a log of wood to lock their house.

This is a security camera just outside my balcony.

Was it Luck, Chance or Accident?

I saw him for the first time at our department as I waited for the commuter bus to take us back to the main campus. He was waiting for the same bus and we introduced ourselves. We sat together on the bus and immediately struck a conversation. He told me about himself as one of the Post Graduate Students at Translation Department. He took a break from his work in his hometown for further studies under the sponsorship of his department. We talked a bit about him but before we could talk further into other topics he asked me if I was a believer. I was shocked and a bit intimidated by his outright questions, considering who he was and his political stands. I take it as a very sensitive issue to talk about faith and believe in public places considering where we were at that moment. I was apprehensive to talk about it when I know that people were just a few inches away from us. So I waited a while before I could give him the answer. After I told him about my faith, without any care and concern as to where we were, he started telling me of his search for peace in his heart.

I took this opportunity with a careful approach to extract more information about his search for peace and asked him why. He was disappointed and lost faith with the systems operating around him with its false promises and illusion. He was the victim of corruption, lies and deception. For a long long time he waited for the right opportunity to strike gold. But all his dreams and expectations were drained with the realization of the reality of his surroundings. Thats when it occurred to him that he needed to search for what he thought could solve his problems and the unquenchable thirst and hunger that never seemed to stop bothering him.

He started looking for alternatives to solve his problems and inquired about the different faiths of different people around him. He told me that he was worried about following his friends faith because of the penance that he had to go through, especially giving up meat, that would be hard for him as he loves to eat meat. He shared with me all about his search for the right path that will lead him to the truth, then before long we reached our destination. We decided to meet up at another time as he wanted to get more information from me.

We met for lunch to follow up on our discussion on the bus. He was too hungry for the truth that questions after questions were shot at me regardless of where we were. There were times that i felt uneasy with his candid approach. We kept keeping in touch and met up on a number of occasions that he decided to learn more about it. It's not very appropriate for me to help in terms of our gender differences and so I introduced him to my leader. Every Friday morning he would visit my leader with a few other friends with their queries and they would have a meaningful conversation. They met up for a year and a half.

At the later part of his regular meeting with my leader he made the choice to give his life to the Almighty One. It was so good to see him finally at peace with himself and at peace with the Maker.

He shared with me that he met a two other people like me before, one American and one lady from his country. I was the third person. He made observations with us three people that we were quite different from many people that he met. He notice something very unique in us. He felt that we are peaceful and very different in our approach towards life which intrigue him and provoked him to learn more about what makes us different. He was given the Book by the American guy. He read the Book and use it to get wisdom from the Book even before he gave his life to Him. I didn't get get meet him before he left for his hometown but even thought i may never see him again I trust that Father is taking good care of him and continue to work in his life. My heart longs to get in touch with him just to know how he fares with his life but I have no means to get in touch with him now. I wonder why Father allowed this thing to happen. But I'm
happy with the thought that our paths met and it was meaningful. Now I can only wait and see him when we reach our final destination, our true HOME.

Many people believe in "Luck". For people who are in HIM the word "luck" is not to be found in our dictionary because we are not here by accident or luck. We are here for a reason, with a definite purpose. I do not believe that it was because of luck or accident or by chance that I met this guy but a meeting planned with a definite purpose. A meeting arranged by God Himself.

(This is a short story of how I met Lee)

The Indwelling of God Within Me

I imagine God to be a lamp
Placed within me at a corner
In cannot be blown out
It is a perpetual flickering light
The light brightens up when you reflect his image
God is the simple presence of that glow
Body cells may increase, decrease or die
But that calm glow of God is constant

When the glow overwhelms the body shell at times
The delightful glow of godliness shines forth from you
You become restless and want to spread smiles around
God's spirit is always in potency for creativity, self giving and regeneration

An Uncontainable Thought from a friend

Thought of You

A magnificent star
A blooming rose
A perfection of human grace
A deeply divine form
An angel walking in human body
A sprite soul that touches people
The ministering spirit that heals with her very presence
The friendly star that guide, protect, and share life's concerns
You are a beautiful soul

(Memory of a dear friend)

Great Class- My Dream!!

If you are a teacher you would understand how it feels to have a class where the students are cooperative and everything seems to work out perfectly, just as you planned. You come out of the class feeling elated because you feel that you have achieved something.

Well, this his how I feel about one of my class. It's one of my Wednesday's class. At the beginning of the semester on my second week, when I was so much looking forward to having a great class, I made the mistake by being late as I struggled to find the class. Big Mistake!!! Period!! Its really difficult to get the rapport once you lost the chance and this is exactly what happened in this class. So, today on the fourth class I was close to tears in the classroom as i felt that I hit wall with this class. In my frustration I decided to talk to the monitor of the class about what had happened in the class.

The information I got from the monitor was a shocker. He told me how all other teachers had struggled with the students in his class and how the students are forced to come to our school by theirs parents. Most students come from well to do families but lack attention from their parents. They never really felt love in their life. Many of them are not interested in studies and the most shocking of all was that some of them were even involved in physical relationships with men to earn some extra money. Most of them are in their teens. It was a heart-breaking news indeed. The monitor and I are one in Spirit and he told me of what he did to help the class. But there seems to be very little that we could do. Our hearts goes out to them and we promised to each other that we should continue to be one in Spirit.

This is probably an extreme case or perhaps just the worst class among all my other classes. It will be unfair to label all my classes with the same name. There are some classes that are just angelic too. If the description of a great class is cooperation in the class, determination among students, and a great ambition among the students. This is perhaps something that I will always dream of having. Some of the students that I came across has the opposite description.

They say it's good to have a dream, and as long as I am with this school perhaps I will continue to dream of having a great class. I do hope to see that day will come to pass!!! I will continue to dream for my students that one day they will see the true meaning of life and be the positive change for their class. I will try to work hard in collaboration with the Spirit towards achieving that dream. Please be with me in Spirit.

Trade Doll for God

"When I get lonely and have no one to share my problems with, I shared all that is in my heart with my doll that I slept with every night, especially the secrets that I don't want to share with anyone." This is the answer I got from my student when I asked the question on how she dealt with loneliness and trust way back on 2nd April 2005.

Christine is one of the monitors in one of my class that I taught way back in 2004-05. I didn't get to know her very well until the afternoon on 2nd April when she came to my apartment. My recollection of her then was that she was a very active student and very enthusiastic and very dynamic in her class. I didn't really get to know a lot of students then since I struggled to open up with people especially the first few months when I first moved into this University. I was even surprised when she asked me if she could come and pay me a visit and spend time with me for which I agreed.

It was a beautiful spring afternoon that day when she came. We planned to go out together to get some sticker photos. Even though I never get to talk to her much before, I decided to take the opportunity to ask questions about life issues. That’s when I asked her, "What do you do when you feel lonely and when you have problems that you can't share with your most trusted friends and even to your parents?" The answer she gave me surprised me in a way because it was something very unfamiliar to me that was, talking to a doll to share problems with, even though I now believed that many people would be doing something similar. Perhaps being a person not very interested in dolls, I couldn't understand the logic.

It was an opportunity that was too good to miss that I decided to share about the Person I know very well who would listen to our problems and do something about it. Then I started to introduce the Man who change my life and ask her to talk to Him and share all her problems with Him, even though she may not know who He is at that moment. I told her that even thought He is not physically with us, He is alive and that He listens to everyone who talks to Him and that he will help us in our difficulties if we put our trusts in Him. I told her to stop talking to her doll and talk to the man she doesn't know who was even existed at that point of time and gave her A Book that she could read to know more about Him. We only talked for a few minutes and then went out to take sticker-photos with her. That was our first real encounter.

A week after we went out, we had the opportunity to ride on the bus together from our school for fifteen minutes and the question that she asked me was, "Why was the Man in the book compared with a lamb?" I was quite impressed to know that she was very seriously reading the book. I was able to share with her the importance of blood for a sacrifice and the relevance of His blood and that His blood that was shed was the key for us to be saved.

Since that evening on 2nd April 2005, there was no turning back for Christine and she traded her doll with the Living God and started her life's journey with a new meaning and purpose. Not only that, we are eternally connected to each other because we are bound together with the chord of Love that will never be broken.

We had summer holiday and I went home. I felt it was Dad who brought us together and so I asked Dad if I could work with her to learn more about Him. So after I came back from home I initiated and organise a time to study together. We asked Dad to give us more friends who would be willing to learn about the Man who change (d) our lives. We managed to get three more friends of hers and since October 2005 till today we continue to study together every week and it’s been a delightful journey together with Him. What motivates me most is to see a life that finds meaning, purpose and identity and a life with hope in Him in a world of uncertainties.

Christine is growing in her knowledge of Dad but everyday challenged by the reality of the situation around her. There are times in her life that she doubted and unsure of what she is getting herself into. The challenge for her is great as any one of us. The only one who could sustain her is Dad and we journeyed together and Dad is still holding us together in the midst of great chaos around us.

Free Talk!!!!

Sounds interesting!!! May be you are wondering what it implies. In our context, it simply means an opportunity for students who are interested in talking in English out of the classroom settings.

In a country where English is hardly spoken by majority of the people, the opportunity to use English doesn't come easy. Students who major in English often struggle to practice what they have learnt in the classroom and develop their skill. In their hunger to practice their English, it is not an uncommon thing for students to bother their English teachers, especially when they are native speakers, at every opportunity they could find.

Bearing in mind how difficult it is to find the opportunity for students to speak in English, even though they major in English, I decided to give my time and create an opportunity for my students to practice their English. Our department has given us a room for all the foreigners to share and so I made use of the room for the students to come to the office and speak with us every Monday at lunch time. One of my colleague agreed to join me and we both started the "Free Talk" on 19th March.

My initial thought when I initiated the Free Talk was that of fear. I was a bit apprehensive that students would not turn up and that none of them would be interested to come. Also, it's the first time in four years that I have initiated this kind of activities for the students. On the first day we had the Free Talk, my friend and I were waiting for the students and we were thrilled to have about seventeen students come for the first time. On the second week, we are again delighted to find out that more students are willing to join and spend their time with us.

Speaking in English is the primary goal for us to organise the "Free Talk" and the secondary goal, though equally important is that we would like to help the young people in our department to share our lives with them. There are many young people especially in our department who are directionless and struggling to find purpose in life. We don't have the solution to their problems but we are hoping that we might be able to direct them to the "One" who has the solutions to all the problems in this world. Many of our young students never thought beyond what is being told, they are not used to question as to how and why things are. They just go with the flow without knowing why they do things. Making choices for themselves is not something they are familiar with, because it's left to their parents who often doesn't have any clue about their children's interests and aspirations.

The challenge is great but even if we don't achieve great things, our hearts desire is that at least a few students would find the true meaning and purpose of life.

"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
