A Relaxing Day

A Relaxing Day

I had a pretty blessed and relaxing day today and I feel very productive. I had my car's engine oil changed, got my hair done, had dinner with Louise, spotted Claura then joined her for deserts and gave a fright to Carmen who was sitting in her car reviewing her discipleship teaching material.

Before I went out to get all the above stuff done, I was online doing stuff for the coming IW - ACM September tour and chatting with 4 people online simultaneously. At which point, I noticed that Rev. Mak was online. So I YM'ed him and he replied. It was so nice to be able to chat with him for just a brief moment because I didn't even get a chance to sit next to him to have a good talk during our entire Edmonton/Chicago trip. I sat next to him for a few times but those were all during mealtime. I missed talking to him. He was also sick during the trip so he didn't really have a lot of energy to talk.

Rev. Mak is one pastor whom I love dearly. I don't mind telling people that I first met him when I was probably 8 or 9 years old and when he was my big brother back at 九龍城崇真堂 moons ago. When I met him again in 2002 during CM2002, I actually didn't recognized his face but could only recall his name. The first think that pop-up in my head when I recalled him was what the kids in my youth fellowship used to call him (樹哥哥).

I was able to YM him for a bit and he said that he's not sick anymore but jetlagging. I hope that he'll come back to US soon. I have learned so much from him and have gain so much respect for him because of his passion for Christ.

Janet is still sick though. I hope she'll get better soon.
