Well... this was obviously a post expected to come, yet one of those that I don't even know where to begin. I spent almost 3 months away from home... no, it really wasn't a long period of time, but enough to open my eyes just a little more.

I have tried begin writing this entry quite a few times but ended up deleting all of it... why? Possibly because I cannot possibly put what I experienced these past three months in words... I cannot even begin to put in words what a difference the past three months have made in my life. No, I cannot say I came back a different person... but I think I came back with different values and new perspectives, and more... I've realized what is it and who are the people that I hold closest to my heart.

I have seen quite a bit these past few months that I don't think it's possible for me to tell all the little stories, but I truly have experienced and realized what education can do for the little minds in those kids, and what a difference we can really make in these kids' lives. Education is not just about teaching them something new, but more about empowering them with knowledge. I am very interested in doing something like that again, but I would rather go to less fortunate places like GuongXi or more remote places where the kids really don't have much; I won't mind even if I don't get paid.

I think I will leave my China experience at that for now, I can tell you more in person if you want... but I don't want to force myself to write anymore than what comes to mind. All in all, it was an amazing experience and one that I will remember for a lifetime. As for HK... there's not much to say. You all know how I feel about HK, it is a very special place to me, and one that I will always call home, with people that I will always love and miss and ones that truly love me and care so much about me. I miss HK more than ever, but it gives me comfort knowing deep in my heart that one day I will return to that place for good, and it gives the greatest comfort knowing no matter how far away I am and how long I am gone for, those people will always love me and care for me.

I am praying for sylvan and charing... like I said to Helen, I care a lot about the two of them, but if they can allow themselves to just get back together like that, then there's nothing much left for me to do or say. I don't have the energy to worry about those two, and quite frankly, me worrying or not makes no difference and it's not for me to decide whether they should be back together or not, so I will leave it all to the hands of God. I saw it coming when Sylvan went back to church... I knew charing wasn't over sylvan all along, and the other way around... so I'm not surprised in anyway by all means... how do I feel about it? well it doesn't really matter, so all I can do is pray. And there's also BSF... I'm praying about it too, so we'll see if God opens that door for me. As for the rest... well I'm just working F/T now, and will be taking 7 courses in September. It'll be my last academic semester... I'll be doing my internship in January and then graduate in May, so I want to do well this upcoming semester and work hard to get a good internship placement. As for work... well I'm trying to get a job in Rmd for September... I have applied to a couple of places and we'll see how those go... but I mean, I've always got sportmart as a backup XD but I think I've had enough of retail business... x.x So yah, just a couple things to pray about... Helen's right though, we should meet up again after lindy comes back, I miss talking to you guys
