Year 3.41 was a bit upsetting for me. On Monday I had lunch at Yau Ma Tei. The conversation was routine and it was drizzling, but at least I got an eager beaver’s appointment out of the way.
Day two was great for my OT Grammar because an IT guy wrote a program that could delete thousand of unnecessary words for me. That saved a lot of eye work and brain cells.
Wednesday was a long day. I went to the chiropractor in the afternoon, followed by a cdr briefing. At night I had a leaders meeting that ended half an hour before midnight.
Day four was a surprise because I had hand treatment in the morning for that day was full and I had fellowship at night. At night a fellowship candidate attended.
On Friday I went with two to the doctor. The doctor was more reassuring and we were relieved but I was tired the rest of the night walking busy Mongkok to get food. I felt better reaching home.
Day six was upsetting. I forgot to cut my hair yesterday to remember Doris. It was my first miss. At least I had a makeup cut immediately and I felt better.
Sunday morning was a rush at the office to revise my least prepared sermon for along time, which turned out well. Noon was cdr at two places. At night my China sons were at my place for dinner with a few Shanghai friends. We had sharing and prayer.

Year 3.40
Year 3.40 was an alarming week for me. On Monday we had our usual study time but no chiropractor visit due the new year. I was very immersed in doing OT grammar Bible, which is coming along nicely.
Day two was neighbor time. The kids loved my roast pork, better than red packets, say the father. We had our usual walk but we did not walk long. Tuesday, as usual, is a tiring meeting day.
On Wednesday leaders had lunch after meeting, where we do not have a quorum. We had a good lunch though, uncommon for us to have such bonding.
Day four was foot treatment. For the first time I realized my minor stroke affected the lower back all the way to my right foot (sciatica). Student was worried after the results for blood test revealed kidney problem.
Friday was team building. We went to the Wetlands, followed by a visit to the new Yuen Long church. At night Seven and his family were in town. I took them to my favorite Chinese bbq.
Day six was an amazing day. Two passed language exam with flying colors after another week of study and lots of practice exercises. Amazing sometimes what hands-on training can accomplish.
Sunday was a good turn. The doctor assured me there was nothing major about my student’s kidney that cannot be treated, praise God. I had finished Grammar Bible till the Pentateuch.

Year 3.39
Year 3.39 was the full Chinese new year swing. Monday was new years eve and I had a good reunion breakfast with two before separating. It was enough due to the packed schedule.
Day two was new year. I headed to Tung Chung for coffee before visiting mama Wu in happy valley hospital and had lunch Alice. Dinner was with Simon and wife and walking with the Chus who I bumped into.
On Wednesday I went to Sai Keng close to Sai Kung to visit Doris’ godson whom she did not know. Doris agreed to be godmother to a child given birth at least three years later! On the way home I was lost and the return took me two exhausting hours.
Day four was people mountain people see at the Peak. Jack, Bei and Marion joined me in chasing memories before we had dinner at Chi Kee for dinner. I could not ask for more.
I took Friday and Saturday off to do language tutoring exam but the student was not ready, so I did not grade the paper. The task ahead is greater, so it is back to the drawing board for us. Praise God, I finished the first unedited version of Old Testament Grammar Bible.
I decided to go through the translation part all over with the student. It was my fault I did not give the person more exercises. We covered chapters 17-25. My patience is not where it should be, I must confess, but I am more confident now.
Sunday’s English preaching was well received. I joined Harold and others for lunch before attending prayer meeting, then chatted with buddy and elder before having beef for dinner with student at new restaurant. The rest of the night was revising Hebrew grammar for the last round that started on Friday.

Year 3.38
Year 3.38 was stranger than ever. On Monday I have my usual chiropractor treatment and bought flowers after our lunch. The rest of the day was busy working on the Grammar Bible.
Day two was voting day but I passed because no candidate was suitable. At night I had a wondrous night reunion dinner with buddy, Tom, Percy and Jim. The company was excellent.
On Wednesday I have language meeting followed by an informal meeting with a half time coworker candidate that turnout out well. It’s better to have more coworkers in this crunch year.
On day four I started singing vocals on my morning walk. At night I had a good massage on my numb leg that helped with my blood circulation because on a cold day my leg feels like ice. I have been using heater pad on my right leg sleeping at night.
Friday was extremely busy and weird. The day started with my added weight of 163 lbs and later with pth meeting. In between a deacon called me for lunch. After the meeting Wilson said I’m in danger because I’m officially a candidate he clarified. Buddy concurred. Seems like I missed reading yesterday’s 6pm email. Some met me at 4pm and said I cannot DQ myself even when I declined.
Day six was family reunion dinner with Marion, Chiu and two in tow. We ate a lot followed by the last language tutoring class. I am amazed at how much we have done learned and grew.
Sunday was preaching at north point followed by lunch with Jon R and family from Shanghai. Youth came to my place for dinner, sharing and prayer. At night Two tears touched me.
Happy New Year
