So excited! I haven't taken the bus home before the sun went down in a long time now! But here I am on the 84 going home and then go to cell group hotpot tonight ^^ so many thoughts running through my mind, and one being that I might just be in Japan this summer! I got acceptance from 3 Japanese professors at Kyoto University already to work with them on things like Acute immunodeficiency disease (AIDS) and certain cell membrane signalling mechanism proteins (SO HAPPY)! Even things like neurogenesis In embryo developement! It's basically whether or not I really want to put that money into it haha. And one of the coolest parts is that I will be living about 2 blocks down from my bestest friend at Kyoto Uni too! I can't wait ahhhhhhh! I don't even know how to speak Japanese t.t
before I make any hardfast decisions about it though, I will continue ask the Lord OUR God if this is His will ^^
On a side note: I was thinking about what kind of kid I was when I was a little boy and who I am now, and I can say from the bottom of my mushy, aromatic scented heart, that God has changed me from the inside out :) Praise Him -- Psalms says that everywhere, literally!
Currently listening to on the bus: "tell the world" by Hillsongs
Blessed are the Poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdon of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart <3, for they will see God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you, because of me.
~Matthew 5:3-11
Friend, Cheer up! =) I am your friend You are mine Just call on me when you need to talk ok? Be Happy~ As Dingdong would put it too ^^

Now that you know these things, you will be Blessed if you do them. ~John 13:17
--- Sleeping on the Floor is fantastic! Feels good for the back, its perfect temperature, its convenient, and best of all, I cant roll off the side!
This week has been tough =S Tough on the soul, on the mind, on the heart, and physically. Its not even really that hard actually, I just keep trying to rely on my own strengths and wisdom to be successful. That definately isn't a good idea.
"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." ~Psalm 55:22
Hehe. I thank the Lord every day that I am continously encouraged by his Angels to continue to be a good person =) So the Lord says he will sustain me for casting my cares on Him, I guess he also sustains me in the mornings when I wake! Or when I'm awoken by my Phone Ya... you know what I'm talking about haha.
I will continue to work hard, no matter what, for the Lord encourages those that give their best. Plus I would just be wasting time and money if I didn't try my best right?
I will be there with you this Christmas =) No one wants to be lonely during Christmas right? ^^
PS to Self: Its getting VERY cold now, especially in the mornings. Wear a scarf, keeps your hands warm no matter what, and keep those around you warm in any way you can =)
Saturday at SFU, I got off the bus in the morning and it was snowing! Hehe too bad at UBC the water doesnt solidify, but instead just forms bigger water droplets =(
Anyways... Its sunday afternoon and I decided to go back to SFU to do some more studying (On xanga? ... ) Too bad Matt and Ives can't join =( SO alone haha
On the other hand, the picture above was last year at my extended cousins place! WE BUILT AN IGLOO =D I wish it snow this year again ^^ IT brightens up the mood! I will come shovel snow for you if you want too hehe (If you give me free Vitasoy.. hehe JK!)
Dear Journal or self,
Lately I've decided to give up some alone time and go talk to other people. People that I feel don't always get heard. People that I feel, sometimes just want someone to listen to what they have to share. Actually, I think the majority of people aren't really heard! Maybe thats contributing to why people don't always get along! I don't know, I'm just another kid (with a lot of white hairs...) that thinks a lot haha. These people dont always want an answer for questions, but simply just someone to hear it I guess.
I always tell myself that it takes 2 people to talk. One to Speak and one to listen. --
Note to self: It's getting cold out, stay warm and don't get sick! There are people out there that always need a smile =)
No sweat Gabe~ I've done it before, I'll do it again. Best wishes to everyone studying. No excuses
JiaBao~ PS: Camille 姐姐 Came home yesterday from France ^^ I gave her a big hug already =D PPS: Still missing Zoey a lot.
To Zoey
Life, Cycles. Like, The wheels on a bus. Like, The hands on a clock. Like, The earth around the sun. Like, Death. A natural occurence, yet With innocent love, We pull back the second hand in a futile attempt To stop time. Love creates pain, But we continue to love, Because it gives, Life.
-- C.Peng
Thanks for the Poem for Zoey Carrie Your poems are always interesting to Read ^^ Continue sharing practicing your poems and sharing them with people! You will be FAMOUS one day for them hehe~
All my day light time is spent in a lecture or in a laboratory. I leave the house its dark and wet I get home and its dark and wet And I am simply thankful I have a place to stay =)
Today I was extremely exhausted from the 11 hours of labs (Lab exam included) in 3 days along with 3 writeups and I was looking forward to finishing lab today. However dinner with the guys was cancelled today because 2 of them messed up their lab and got lectured by the professor... so wasn't in the mood. Though these things happen and its totally normal, I encourage every one of you, tF, jC and another jC to continue to work hard and never give up!
I went home thinking of all the happy things, like sleep and hotpot =)
I walked through the door, said my greetings and went to put my stuff away so we can start dinner. Not knowing that beside the door was a cold box ... And within that box was someone I was going to go visit tomorrow on my day off in the hospital
I noticed after dinner that it was my loved Zoey So I knelt down to take a closer look and remembered that she was the youngest of the 3 that were left after the accident on July 7th earlier this year =(
Death by the needle after diagnosed of irreversable kidney failure. Mochi and Lili are still here <3
R.I.P. to Zoey (November 18th 2009) and Taffy (July 8th 2009)
Funeral service schedule tonight at 10:30pm at my place. Just beside Taffy.
