A short day

I planned to run some errands in the morning, meet a friend for brunch, go visit my friend’s newborn baby from yesterday, and stop by the clinic to do some work. However, because of the short of staff in the clinic, I ended up working eight hours at the place. Missed the chance for brunch and meeting the newbabe!

I thought about it now, I didn’t feel pressure into working and I would like to help. Somehow though, I felt sorry that I couldn’t accomplish what I intended to do for the day. Besides, who would care what I had put forth for filling up the need, not even the nurse who needed to bring her mother for emergency dialysis and that’s why can’t work. BTW, I was the one who almost instructed her to bring her mom to ER yesterday because of the urgency of the matter, even though she was unable to decide.

All these made me losing the energy and motivation, sometimes how meaningless things are. Hopefully I can still make up for the things I missed today toward the weekend, but I really want to rest my body. All the best to the newborn baby, and blessings to the family!

中國情

過去幾天梁博士來到這裡，跟我們分享一些關於中國民間信仰的信息。在當中，他提到他們機構主要的服事，是幫助那些在中國比較貧窮的學生，有潛力讀書卻沒有經濟能力支持學費的，他們就會以金錢來幫助他們。除此以外，在國內也辦一些學校，讓那些沒有錢的小孩子可以免費上課。他的分享給我很多的鼓勵，他一而再再而三的提到，人間有情，因為上帝在人間，祂愛每一個，他們的機構就是要讓人知道，特別是那些在中國大陸的同胞知道，上帝愛中國人。很有意情的服事，再次讓我回想以前在中國的服侍。

Expected life event

First time I saw a shopping cart “falling” down from the top of an esculator to the bottom in a department store (Target), with an elder lady right in the way, and people screaming “watch out” but she totally disregard or just did not hear the scream. It fell right on her but fortunately she did not fall and actually not much harm was done at all. Everything in the cart fell out and whatever could be broken broke. It was another middle age woman who just absent-mindedly pushed the cart down the esculator, instead of the cart feeder next to it, according to what she said. My mom and I witnessed the whole process, and she was even fast enough to run over there and pull that elder lady out of the way, but not in time… She was frighten by the scene, telling me her heart was still pounding right after. I was just simply standing there, turned to the direction and watched. I found myself did not react to anything at all, not feeling much at all, was not even worried about the elder lady at all. I was calm, but not indifferent, and slow. It seemed strange to me that I reacted this way, but what else could I do. I’m glad that no one got hurt though.

Looking for transcript

Heard a great prayer through the radio this morning while picking up my relatives from bus station, but couldn’t find the transcript… I’ll keep trying!
