After my OFF on Monday, I now have quite a number of meetings before my departure.

Tonight I had dinner with Ivan, my 2nd friend met in Melbourne back in 2002 October. We had dinner from 7 to 10pm. I quite enjoyed it and especially I found it quite easy to share with him whatever comes to mind.

Our final topic was about having friends of the opposite sex. I didn't dare to share with him I am in a relationship, not that there is any matters, but we both agreed that there is always some restrictions when you are having a boy/girlfriend. Something like... you won't mention anymore about the "good old days" in front of your friend's partner. However, it's the good old days which is most memorable.

Well, I am thankful for all the things we shared tonight. Real free and active chatting marathon! XD

I am being blessed (fortunate in your words) in this trip. First, the sun set is scheduled at 8-ish pm, kind of, I do not need to return home early in fear of the darkness. Second, since I am talking with Sky each night, I actually finish my day at 1pm, sort of extended 24 hours! Third, I am confident to wear dresses since my Bali trip, that allows me to get rid of my jeans during the hot temperature in Melbourne summer. Forth, I found myself ignoring any unpleasant moment which I faced during this trip - with my friend, with a rude cashier and an impolite barista.

Just cool!

5 Kg of memories?

A sister asked me today if I ever wanted to leave Melbourne. Coz they were curious that I am keeping my mobile number and perhaps, keep coming back.

-//-

I had lunch with choir buddies plus a dynamic guest Ryan. I like his tone of voice, so energetic! I visited Jessie's garrage after that, hoping to clear my left overs. We searched and found 4 boxes and 2 large bags of my belongings. Poor Jessie... her garrage was filled with many bro & sis stuff...

I have no idea what exactly I have put in those boxes and bags. I only know that they should be my most treasured and most unwanted things. You know, I only have 7 days to pack-up when I decided to leave Melbourne.

Most treasured... besides my books, are all those fancy gifts received all these years - graduation Monash bear/ photo frame/ letters/ cards/ things not necessary but full of memory. Most unwanted - let me see... gotta adaptors, stationeries, papers and notes, clothes.

On my arrival, I have 14 Kgs. I don't have any hand-carry. I bet I can carry 5Kg from the above memorial stuff. hahaha... the other 5Kg would be the books I bought recently.

I had forgotten what I did on first of the first. So let me recall my second of the first... After waking up at 11-ish for the first 7 days of my trip, I made myself awake early today. 2 January - lunch & tea with my dear mentor plus getting to church for service.

New Project I
In my sharing during lunch & tea time, almost 90% of what I mentioned was about my career. I received comments and one of them strike me deeply - "your work has nothing to do with eternity". Two years ago I learned to thank God that I am participating in his eternity project. In 2009, I devoted a whole lot of time to my work. Here I am not talking about the testimony/ impact I have made in my workplace, yet it's about my giving of "too much" energy and effort to my job. I decided to try my best to work during the normal working hours in 2010!

New Project II
It is related to my working hours. I over spent my time in my workplace. And lost my motivation for friends and fellowship & serving. I promise to make time for my friends and church in 2010. (* my friend asked if I should make time for my family... I would say yes, however, it's easier & more likely to succeed if I start with my friends.) Since July 2009, I had quite a lot of travel and wasn't able to have regular church commitments in my local church. Hopefully this will improve after I made it to my 2010 plan.

New Project III
My eyes captured a very nice scene today - the Yuen's family. I saw "home sweet home" when Daniel hugged his mommy & daddy. I love that. And their family-hood triggers my feelings to set up a family. I am not thinking about marriage in these 2 years. However, I would like to be a better girlfriend in 2010. Last year I was soooooooooooo lazy, I am being loved and served all the way from June, XD hahaha~ My foremost spiritual gift is SERVING! I used it in my work and church, yet it looks like I didn't use it for my relationship.

27.12.09
Departed Macau at 4am. Got a bonus Patacas $50 from the taxi driver. Got picked up by Doug and catered by Lynn/.

28.12.09
Slept 'til 11.30am, how good! Dinner with team mates in the evening.

29.12.09
Lunch with Kitty & Auntie. Headed to Box Hill Centro in the afternoon - clearing my bank a/c, getting Optus credit... Got a mavelous massage!

30.12.09
I was melted with this hot weather. I had lunch in The Booth and got beaten down by the hot. I stayed home the whole afternoon & evening, doing reaqdying and mainly watching TV.

31.12.09
Today, right before noon, I left and visited the city. Gone to Southbank, Federation Sq and window shopping around the city. I aimed to get some Tees, but wasn't successful. In the end, I got myself 2 one-piece plus many many books.

I bought books from Word and Borders.

Looks like 99% - about guys/ relationships and the other 1% - leadership, what's up with my mind?

p.s. just noted that no cell dinner this Saturday. Worrying... don't want to be alone after church >.<

Bonus!

After my concert last evening, I did my best to pack up and get myself for bed. By 4am, I am already on the way to HK. I took the taxi to HKIA, when I was about to leave the car, the driver asked if I am from Macau. I admitted and he told me he has something for me.

While he was seaching his wallet, I thought he got a coupon or what. However, he gave me Patacas $50. He said those currency is not of any use to him. I appreciated and greatly accepted this unwanted sum of money, which also means that I have a discount from the taxi fare =) ~

我已決定！即使 26日未做完個 financial report ，我都會走！！！最多在 Melbourne 做埋佢！



醫生說：「you just have flu on the 7th!」
吾曰：「係呀 ... 」

已在家兩天半了，看來這次 very serious。心仍在擔心未做完的 report。26/12 的演出，希望 boss 放過我啦！今日看多次醫生，現只有三日時間比我 fully recover。

失手

六星期的 project 已完結，送走了三位 guests，也告別每天 8am 上班的日子。Certainly 我仍有好多 follow up 的工作要跟，不過，現在應可安心在 office 做埋佢。暫應沒有太多的 uncontrollable & unexpected things！

這三天到了 Zhuhai 出 show，每天來回 Zhuhai，三天都有不同的事發生，感謝主，每事都有人 assist 我們，又有出路。第三天，當中 lack of communication 使我們走多了路，時間及資源都 waste 了。有人想我 help，有人問我這問我那，但確實，I am not the person in charge，有些位是 out of my power ，我已在我能力裡做到的做好了，希望他們明白！


今早 10.16 有個 miss call，我看到時即記起我今早是約了一個香港的客人。昨於 Zhuhai 回來，回家已 11:30pm，今早大家放半日，坦言我忘記了這約會！失手...

Thank you Daddy!!! Thank you Daddy!!! Thank you Daddy!!!

Good news!!!

* 22-23 December - Music Tour to Shenzhen cancelled!

* Today's 6.30pm rehearsal cancelled!

YAY!!!

So, I got some extra time this evening. Sheng was busy and I have all the time myself. Went shopping for a bluetooth headset... Also made a sudden appointment for a MTS treatment...

-//-

Keeps sharing.

This lunch time I shared my stories with one of the helper. Same old stories for me, but very new for my friend. How I get into Bachelor of Music... What I gained at uni those sort of stuff. Hope this friendship grows!

-//-

Interrupted conversation.

I visited a mobile shop after my treatment. Two people were there asking the sales about MacBook. They asked question likes... can we use MSN/ QQ on Mac. I listened to the Q and A and I am pretty sure this sales has no knowledge about Mac! So I opened my mouth. I even ask them what they want to get from a laptop, that I could tell if they need a Mac or not. I showed them some tricks on the display MacBook too.

And honestly tell them we need to buy legal software, XD hahaha~ as a musician, I believe I need to! The sales was very impressed and he asked if I am interested to work as a part-time sales. He will add me knowledge about mobile phones and I will share with him about Apple.

Wait... I went there to get a bluetooth headset!!!

His boss returned some time later. I told him what I am looking for and we had some discussion with the bluetooth headset and my research this morning. I can get what I want from Amazon.com, but right now I need it badly. He's keen to see if he could make an order for me.

Upon this, the sales suggested me to get a new iPhone 3GS and he will buy my iPhone then. I am thinking about this - partly my iPhone will soon retire and if I can get rid of it, why not?

p.s. I have given my name card to the sales and the two customer. This is interesting! And I am so grateful that we can have a fruitful conversation with my sharing about the Mac.

p.s. an iPhone is really expensive, moreover, it helps me so much in my work. I love it and treasure it!

Final thing of the day...

After my pre-shopping trip in the CBD, I called Sheng to get some ideas on what to have for my dinner. It was 9pm, I suppose he will be annoyed with my not-minding-about-my-meal attitude. I left on foot and thought of getting McDonald's. I passed by a Hong Kong style cafe and saw my friends. I pop in and asked if I can sit down. They are hubby and wife and were interrupted by my appearance tonight! hahaha

The hubby is a colleague of my dad and he started a sharing while we were about to leave. He told me that he had no Saturdays and Sundays ever since 1990. He works with 6 orchestras during weekends and he has his full time job. He frankly feel sorry that he hasn't put much time on his son during the golden years of a childhood. Otherwise he thinks his son is musically much better than now. I understand, as a dad, this is upset for him. Moreover, he has helped thousands in the music field. He gives opportunities to the next generation, nurture them...

I felt a little bit uneasy when here's someone who has no Saturdays and Sundays. I often complaint that my Sundays are on HOLD becoz of the orchestra. Looks like I am not the only one. This person has devoted his life for people. Hope someday he come to Christ. Surely that would have greater and deeper impact.

Meanwhile, thanks God, I love to hear sharing from some seniors ^.^ ~

Although I am quite tired by the time I get home, I found today very inspiring.
