Year 3.16 was a lot of physical suffering. Monday was the first day without my China sons staying with me since my stroke. They were very sweet and I missed them, sc was on holiday. It was ok now that I am back on my feet but my voice was still as before.
Day two was appointment with a Chinese doctor who burned my left foot skin with his apparatus, which made my walking a problem. It was very bad, close to unprofessional. The department had lunch with a former coworker.
On Wednesday I joined the day leaders for lunch with buddy but I had to limit my involvement because night leaders had a meeting too, which ended in an alarming 1 am, debating to the new scheme at hand. Thankfully we were allowed to leave two hours before at least. A deacon commented that my voice was a cold not a stroke, so it gave me hope. Mok sisters did a great cleaning job for me while I was at work. I got chiropractor treatment in the afternoon.
Day four was a morning at the hospital, where i received a shock that I have a bubble or aneurysm in my head. The doctor said I should not go overseas without treatment, which is three weeks away at least just for the doctor’s appointment. I hag gained 1.1 kgs now to 72kgs. had lunch with buddy and a coworker who was with me on his birthday because my three China sons were away. At noon I had acupuncture and hand massage.
Friday was dinner with Faith who praised two for loving and dutiful. I couldn’t agree more. I joined couples fellowship just to say Hi to those who were worried about my health.
Day six was whole department meeting and five of us had lunch with our deacon and division cochair. I tutored two a bit on language and got ready for dinner with another deacon.
Sunday was English sermon and I gave it my best voice and it turned out well. Then the leaders went to breakthrough for a retreat. The issues were as thick as ever but the chemistry was not there. Sz gave me the warmest surprise by bringing my vest to me, such an astonishing act to me, which is very much like me. We had late night dessert and buddy said I slept once I hit the bed.

Year 3.15
Week 3.15 was a blessed week. On Monday I had time to bond with my sd, sh and sz sons. This is the second time my sd son Zac’s been to Hong Kong. I took them to Tung Chung for coffee, followed by buffet. They all loved it. Sh has to go to Shenzhen to renew his visa after lunch. I decided to eat at home, buying a fish to steam and making a soup. Sz son left nothing at the table.
Day two was back to work and see my acupuncturist. My two boys and I had breakfast at the club house before I led my last preaching class. Sd and sc joined coworkers for lunch, where Jim shockingly said to me in front of all, If you die, you won’t get to use it (money). To which I said, We’ll see whose high blood pressure is higher when succession comes next year. All my three boys were at the hospital with me when the doctor delivered the news that I will have to cancel my next week’s training overseas. For dinner we went to Pepper Steak, my first time.
On Wednesday I was left with Zac and I took him to delifrance for breakfast because of the yum cha crowd. Jay took him to lunch because too much time by himself at the library was not good for him. At night I took Zac to Mak noodles and Oz milk company plus dessert, a HK experience for him. It was valuable bonding time as he also massaged my head, took my readings and made medicine for me. I also joined my language meeting since hospital discharge.
On Thursday i managed to take Zac to yum cha. He loved it so much. We had a late lunch after I took him to farmers market. I had to juggle acupuncturist and supervisor meeting before my hand treatment. I managed to sneak in sermon preparation time.
Friday morning was surprisingly a normal day without acupuncturist or chiropractor. I had much to catch up with sermon next week. I was glad sc was returning and we took Zac to Yata for dinner. My two sons did their best at night to massage my stroke affected right leg.
Saturday morning was papa’s turn to cook breakfast for them and they loved it so much with English tea, poached eggs, fusion bread, farmers market avocado and other fruits. I passed. At noon I gave sz some language tutoring. Evening was fellowship and late dinner at Mun Wah. At night during head massage Zac asked if he could call me papa, i said of course.
Sunday was same breakfast again with smaller portions due the rushed time but the boys seemed hungry. I attended language worship and English worship but returned home to rest before we had a family reunion of some sort before Zac returned to sd. I bought all a vest. It was a fulfilling night for me in all my pride.

Year 3.14
Year 3.14 was a test. I visited an acupuncturist in a nearby mall when a friend recommended acupuncturist was not available. It seems I had to get started. At night one invited us to dumpling dinner but I wanted to leave by eight for my prayer walk.
Day two was supposedly last preaching class for interns and they got their interns’ full. USA Karl came by to find out how I was doing but time was short for me. Hope he can return for ministry. At night Tiny and neighbor had a big dinner prepared for us two. Buddy P surprised me with a haircut for the next day and also joined us for dinner.
On Wednesday I was late at leaders meeting with notification, which the rest did wonders for me. I had to cancel my China training classes,which I did previously. My body was battered when I made the decision to skip teaching. At night we had Vietnamese dinner with some and in law at KF where I introduced two and asked how to handle Chicago application.
Day four was no good because I had two appointments, one with new acupuncturist and another for hand treatment. The only good thing I was looking forward to was walking brisker in my night prayer walk. I had not started on any writing since the August 9 stroke.
On Friday I continued at my pace of which I am no slouch. I skipped dinner with relatives. At night Canadian Holy invited me and neighbor for dinner. His children are oh so grown now.
Day six I woke up asking who was the preacher tomorrow. I had canceled last week for another to show up. I had to work on it quick even though it was not new material. By four I could breathe a sigh of relief. It was the most narrow escape ever. We even had a short snack.
On Sunday morning xinyu a students son traveled 24 hours to see me. I was touched by their gesture though I did not consider myself in such a state. My pressure was acting up so I rested. I cried when the songs came because an admin staff members spouse passed away from breast cancer. Youth kindly got hbp meds ready. The sermon went well, but I was dead after lunch with USA friends. I was very much alive after my rest and got home for exercise while waiting for the youth to arrive for dinner. The rest of the night was fun with beef for dinner. They even helped me take out bad material stuffing from my sofa.

Year 3.13
Year 3.13 was a happy one as I got discharged. Monday was another restless day at the hospital as the male nurse Phil told me I won’t be released for another day. Yes I was happy because I was allowed to go the bathroom after two and a half days of bed confinement. Peter, Jim, Percy and Fuji came by, plus Xiu yun and Xiao Bei.
Day two was my birthday dinner but I was waiting for final news if I could be released. Kudos to the staff who let me go, changing their minds after lunch. Two helped me get home and then we got ready for my birthday dinner with family and friends two days before the real one. It was one of my happiest day ever.
Wednesday was leaders meeting but I passed. James took me out for tea but it’s not like I could avoid his persistence, plus fruits. I did not attend language meeting either because the doctor gave me a day off.
Day four was my birthday proper. I forgotten pretty much what I did because I did not want to exert myself too much. Anyway nothing could beat my dinner guests with newbies Bon, Amy and Jack, plus Peter and wife direct from USA. I did however had a quiet moko lunch and a social place dinner with a dutiful student who kept a loving and watchful eye on me.
Friday was a slow day. We went to Tung Chung to remember coffee days with Doris and had wonderful Taiwanese dinner Tai fung at tst. It was supposed to me my day two in Singapore, so that’s how I spent it.
Saturday was lunch with my buddy Cheng after ribbing him for failing to take me to goose dinner強記 before I die. We went to Npac and was thankful that Gordon was the speaker. We also managed to eat at an Italian restaurant Dorus and I ate before.
Sunday was back to work but I close my eyes to conserve strength. It was followed by baptism at church and dinner with eight youth at my place. I’m grateful they helped me to clean the place up.

Year 3.12
Year 3.12 was a health hazard to me. On Monday I spent Morning at revival meeting. I gave Doris’ two books to David. I was hard at work on Old Testament grammar. I prayed with my buddies that night, for one it’s been tough.
Day two was preaching class and coworkers meeting, plus working hard on my James 1 sermon. At night was up to exodus for grammar Bible. I am more surer what to do with Hebrew “which” by now.
Wednesday was a shorter leaders meeting, so that we can have lunch together. I put my final touches to Icc report for tomorrow night. Wednesday I finished Leviticus for grammar Bible.
Day four was disastrous. The meeting started earlier so I did not get rest. I left more than halfway bye after my presentation but it was past 11pm when I got home. At night I was dizzy so I climbed onto bed.
On Friday I woke up and fell automatically from my toilet seat. I got a neighbor Alan to take me to a doctor who said I have vertigo. Tom, Cheng and Pak was with me the rest of the noon. I slept early.
Day six my coworkers urged me To go emergency on a rainy day. Tom, Roy, Pak and Fung were around. The reports said I have minor stroke on left side. Sos and USA arrived Peter Chung came last minute. I had nothing to eat or drink for the day in hospital. I was glad so I did not have to pee being confined. A lot of friends visited including Edward And Nelson, Tom, at noon and Kwan, Amy, Jack, Raymond, Fung,Pth Indons, Sinta, Marion. Peter from kunming and Jack from China mission too. Very touching to have such friends but missed some who never came. The bed was messy.
On Sunday I had more visitors to comfort me.Thanks for the visit from grace, Jeffrey, dr Kwan, Pth Amy and Peter Chung twice now. I did not aim well with my or table toilet when I was confined to my bed with no food or drink the second day running, so no restroom as well. I recalled Doris who suffered same for two weeks.

Year 3.11
Year 3.11 was a sick week. I went to an early lunch with a member who wants to enrol in seminary to be a tent maker missionary. The first class is Greek so he adopted me as backup teacher, not that I have much choice. The rest of the day was a quiet rest before I returned home for dinner.
Day two lunch was with interns. It was a quiet day in another way because it is a week off for coworkers meeting, so I spent noon teaching two language before seminary begins. I had to double up on Gal 6 for Sunday sermon and skipped mra which I heard was unpleasant. Today was anniversary dinner so i ate at passion with a friend to remember Doris my love.
Wednesday prayer morning I heard was distressing. I have too much on my hands and my third point had yet to round into shape. Buddy attended for the first time and it was as much a shock to him as it was my first time in January, which I have not attended since.
Day four was more work on the same passage but not much progress. After work was hand treatment at night. Two recorded the first ten Hebrew words with vety good pronunciation all the way, I am way proud.
On Friday I finally wrapped up the sermon satisfactorily even though the conclusion is undone. Night fellowship was canceled due revival meetings. I discovered bumps on my head and realized I was sick with sneezing in the morning as symptoms.
Day six was morning schedule for a change due revival meeting. Lunch was with a prospect but the gap is still huge, so I felt it was a waste of time. I left after work for night prayer walk. In a dream this week I was a lowly number 400 in seniority.
Sunday breakfast was with language committee. It was a rewarding sermon time. English worship celebrated two coworkers birthday. Lunch was with an English prospect but there is still a big gap to close. At night we went to TWW for dinner and dessert before we called it a day.

Year 3.10
Year 3.10 is a big shocker. On Monday I was supposed to visit an Indonesian senior but I had to intervene between two feuding brothers who have not met for eight years. The older one is smart but the younger is sentimental so I empathized with latter. The worse is their mom was already in coma but I was glad they could agree on a solution after two hours deadlock.
Day two was preaching class which is on the right track. Two could not get out of bed. My two coworkers and I brainstormed a plan to get an intern in because we ran out of one this year and there are holes to fill in choir and sz work.
Wednesday leaders meeting started early to discuss declining attendance but the end was a shocker. One shoe fitted but one big shoe dropped and my headache spinned until Some said it may not be bad 唔一定係唔好. I spent some time sighing away.
Day four was a dream of giving Doris’ old boyfriend her phone, if that would make her happy. Lunch was with an old hand who gave input but nothing was solved. Dinner with neighbors was a good break to get my mind off things. I bought a cake to celebrate my upcoming anniversary with Doris.
Friday fellowship was family gathering so I joined relatives group. My new fellowship leader has agreed to do James for our next prestudy. I returned home for prayer walk, a luxury for the last few days.
Day six lunch was with two, after which it took him three hours to submit his visa before returning to have dinner with me. My coworker asked two to join us for dinner and gave a proposal. I trust my coworker much as we could use a person with music background and an intern.
Sunday was Macdonald breakfast for two. I prayed for an English couple both with pain related problems especially the latter who had a crash. At night one and mom came for dinner. Twos mom accepted Christ. We had prayer and sang 親眼看見你 with two playing his first song.

Year 3.9
Year 3.9 ended with two Js return. On Monday I had lunch locally because my chiropractor session was canceled. Nevertheless I had drinks with buddy and neighbor. I met with Gao over dinner.He was ready for seminary trading but there was a lack of mandarin schools.
Day two was preaching class in the morning followed by preaching discussion after coworkers meeting. After the meeting I bumped into Some and told him wheels are falling off. Some promptly asked me to call for youth drinks. The person was not available. At night I wrote to worker two to calm things down.
On Wednesday I got Some last minute call for lunch to smooth things out and we heard how frustrating and helpless things are. Language meeting meanwhile was calm. Personnel issues were presented to our group out of the blue. Night leaders meeting ended at midnight so I slept at one.
Day 4 was disastrous. I hurt my back as my hand treatment was about to start, so I ended up being treated for my back rather. I blame it on previous night meeting. I could not do prayer walk or sit comfortably, so I slept earlier.
On Friday I had lots of visitors. A USA friend shared with me about his Israel trip. At night I treated the shandong boys to dinner. The father was a former student and they were in Hk for the first time. My relatives did not attend fellowship so I left early because it had been a full day for me.
Day six I shopped for a skillet for One. At noon I led prestudy for buddy and then joined seniors shortly before I joined my boys for dinner. One was back from camp and another from bj. Two helped me carry skillet to One’s place. Two gave me a big hug upon seeing me knowing how long he’s gone and the headaches he experienced. One sweetly offered to cut my hair before Doris’ day tomorrow.
Sunday was two years two months without Doris. I still miss my Doris and her memories are still alive inside me. My worship was interrupted by a request to visit a dying friend at the hospital, which was arranged for tomorrow. Seafood dinner was with usual youth but included shandong brothers. All left after prayer by 1030.

Year 3.8
Year 3.8 was a dream week. On Monday I kicked off with an opposing viewpoint leader who wanted to know how to decode coworkers’ thinking and direction, of which I tried to patiently explain to him. Overall the lunch went well. After lunch I went to see my chiro and for the first time the swelling in my arm went down after treatment. Praise God for it has been months of worry.
Day 2’s first summer preaching class started off well with seven students but it ended earlier at 11am. I noticed a coworker X was absent but it turned out he was working on his Sunday sermon. Night men’s fellowship was rescheduled till after summer.
Wednesday morning was core meeting that did not end till 330pm, so I skipped language meeting. There were a lot of issues to be discussed but it occupied a lot of my time. We need new blood for sure. At night I attended English fellowship in my coworker’s absence.
Day 4 I woke to a dream of Doris who was really mad at me for something wrong I did without recollection. I said, Wouldn’t I undo it if I could turn back the clock of time? She dashed outside but a ray of light enveloped her at night. It was so beautiful she cried, O my God. She had peace. I had friends from the old country to visit me at lunch. There was much to catch up with my former church especially on two friends who passed away. I had to finish up my Timothy survey for Sunday school, which I feel is a gem.
Friday morning was another dream of Doris. Despite her weakened condition, she decided to go eat at Tai Ko instead of moping at home. I suggested we pick up her sister to join us. The day was weird. I had diarrhea two week in a row. Doris’ sister did not come to fellowship, so I had big chicken dinner with B2. I was relieved BJ student survived his first week of Greek despite a lingering headache.
Day 6 was department meeting but we had earlier lunch with division cochair for coworkers to share about their work. Night was bible study. I was thankful to have the time for a few nights of prayer walk.
Sunday was last 2 Timothy class. I truly like this dedicated group but I was late for class two weeks in a row, forgetting my keys after the bus departed. I also met my new fellowship leader for lunch. At night I survived World Cup madness by resting late noon.

Year 3.7
Year 3.7 was a simmering week. Monday was a holiday, so I had breakfast with Doris’ sisters and youth. At noon I bought lilies and rested for one and a half hours before I decided night to go to the Mui’s for World Cup, Brazil versus Mexico. I reached home 1 pm on a tiring night.
Day 2 The lack of sleep caught up with me but I had to lead prayer meeting with my coworker R. The drama after lunch made everyone grouchy and touchy. Nevertheless I paid for drinks to celebrate buddy’s appointment to leadership.
On Wednesday I did not attend leaders meeting because I was running out of work time because I had to attend another prayer meeting after lunch. The language tensions did not let up. Buddy left for ten days vacation.
Day 4 I had coffee with a neighbor who is planning to interview for a job in Canada. A coworker told the sad news of her husband’s suspected nose cancer. After work I had foot treatment. I had prayer walk at night.
On Friday I had lunch with a lay leader R who was concerned for coworkers. Later I had such a headache with a disgruntled decision leader bent on reversal action. At night I had dinner with To and attended couples fellowship. My helpers came to watch World Cup with me.
Day 6 Adter a short club breakfast sz left. It was a sad day to lay to rest a coworker’s father. After that I celebrated youth Jeff’s birthday, followed by taking over buddy’s prestudy class. Night fellowship was big group where I heard a good testimony and left.
Sunday school was into second last week with overview next week left. Overall it was a most satisfying study. I attended English worship and then prayer meeting. At night I had some quiet time by myself.
