Year 4.18 was not getting better in HK with citizens fighting against each other. On Monday I bought flowers as usual at PE and had a foot massage before sunset. At night I hop onto a ferry to ifc for a previously canceled dinner from the night before due unrest.
Day two was work as usual. I had started to drink coffee since last week and so far I have more energy. This morning was another week of an hour’s walking besides another half an hour swimming/gym. I spent time looking for illustrations on 1 John 4, which is my sermon next week.
Wednesday was leaders meeting. The meeting ended early because our leader had to leave 2pm.
Lunch was good. I could even go to language meeting after a short rest.
Day four was subbing for a night fellowship because my coworker K was hospitalized, so my foot massage was canceled. It was refreshing to see the group’s ability to handle fellowship by themselves.
Friday lunch was farewell to Loh and dinner was with Doris’ two Kingston friends. One friend was yellow and the other was blue but they only found out they had different ideologies that night. Visitors to hk had lessened, we can feel it that night in Jordan.
Saturday lunch was with my Indon counterpart and a few coworkers. I waited for two to join me to visit my hospitalized coworker. We had Italian dinner at Paisanos before I had a haircut at home.
Sunday was a good Sunday school and a thoughtful visitor’s sermon. I had high tea with the youth group and took the bus home. It was also the three years four months of Doris’ loss so I bought flowers.

Year 4.17
Year 4.17 was a big week as I monitored my health. I was released on Monday from pmh after the ECG, X-ray and CT scan turned out negative. Relative Marion and I had Simply Life lunch before I visited my local doctor, who gave me medication for vertigo.
Day two was a home rest for me. The dizzy spell persisted when I turned, bent, jerk, laid down or looked down. I tried complete rest but my mind was active doing work.
On Wednesday I was tired of my helplessness,so I returned to morning exercise, walking more than previously. After a short rest I returned to work for a meeting but it was canceled. After lunch and a bit of work on Jonah I went home for a nap and resumed work in the clubhouse, where I managed to write two outlines. Praise God, because I was stuck on 1 John 4 and 5 for some time.
Day four was half day, so I scheduled a chiropractor and a foot massage appointment. The rest of the night was spent working on Moses series study guide.
Friday was Festival day, so we got off at 4pm. I took a bus to Kwai Fong rather than mtr since it was tear gassed and bought bbq pork to the home of the Laus, who graciously invited me for dinner. His wife encouraged me to take two flights of steps to strengthen my feet and it worked immediately when we practiced it.
Day six was still public holiday. First Jay and Amy came by to my house so that Amy the nurse can monitor my heartbeat for 24 hours. Then Mok sisters came by to visit Doris because Vivien is in town. We went to Oma’s for lunch. The rest of the day was relaxing.
The next days Sunday school was enjoyable but I was too tired and shortened my breakfast before worship began. A quick nap after lunch did wonders and I was energized. My dinner with a USA friend at ifc was canceled because of unrest in Admiralty.

Year 4.16
Year 4.16 was a dizzying week. Monday was a relaxing flower street day. I noticed Prince Edward mtr was closed. I got hang out with my buddies to see how things are for L’s future. Next was foot massage, dinner and writing for the rest of the day. HK politics was was too much so I’m distancing myself some.
Day two was a relaxing day but there was still much to do in anticipation of preaching more than once a week the next four months. A USA friend W was in town and we had dinner together.
Wednesday was lunch with S who was leaving. The disappointment was too much for the person, and buddy and I listened but the expectations were too high to bridge. Night leaders meeting ended 11am, earlier than usual.
Day four was a chiropractor and foot massage appointment. I’ve been working on the Jonah SS that will start on Sunday. It is rounding up but more is needed for ten weeks of class.
Friday was more or less the same with Jonah my main concern. I wasn’t sure my spiritual son was coming for dinner but still I filled up the rest of the night schedule.
Day six was very busy with English meeting followed by pth meeting. I attended an opera for a change at night after our dinner but my feet stiffened from walking.
Sunday was a bad start. I woke up to feeling dizzy a few times. At least I survived SS but skipped morning worship for the big AGM. After deacons meeting I headed home and rest. After continual dizziness, I checked myself into hospital but my two coworkers and neighbors accompanied me. I was finally admitted after 2am! My poor coworkers!

Year 4.15
Year 4.15 did not get any better in HK with school around the corner. On Monday I had coffee with Frank and headed to Edward to buy flowers. I try to rest more on my day off.
Day two began with worship department meeting. It ended earlier than usual and the rest of the day was ordinary. At night I started working on my Moses series study questions. It was a relief so that my mind is not focused on city drama and politics.
Wednesday was leadership meeting. With HK erupting, issues multiply. We ended by 2 pm and had lunch together. I wrote as much as I can these days.
Day four was a relaxing half day, but still I had to see my chiropractor. I was glad the appointment was over because a customer’s politics annoyed me. I had a foot massage in the evening.
On Friday I had breakfast with English coworker, who is gung-ho to get things done, but experience is precious. At night we had a great dinner with China cowalkers!
Day six was avocado breakfast at home before lunch at Kitchen. I got ready for my sermon tomorrow and then we had dinner at Bugis.
We thought of attending worship but there was much homework to complete.
Sunday sermon went well but not fresh because it’s an old message. I had lunch with Gao and Tracy then hopped over to hear Rong testimony. I went to get flowers for fear of another boycott tomorrow. We went for high tea before the day was over.
