I know, I know.. I’ve been back for twelve days and haven’t even posted one entry since I’ve been in Hong Kong. So here it is!

Life’s been pretty busy since I’ve been back.. but it’s finally slowing down and I get to spend more time at home. My parents and I arrived to Hong Kong on Dec. 29th. We had one day of preparation before my Uncle’s wedding on the 31st.

It was a very simple wedding registration ceremony and a banuquet for relatives only. This is because it is not my uncle’s first marriage, nor his second. It is actually his forth marriage. Even though we all know of his history and the brokenness that he and his children must feel, this forth marriage is definitely God-given. My uncle accepted Christ a few years ago and since then, he has changed so much. Through his life, I have witnessed how God can break a person down so that He can build the person up and make him a new person. My uncle has gone from being a CEO and founder of a textiles company in China to being a taxi driver and even becoming unemployed. His family used to be rich, happy, and complete until it turned upside down. Though the negative experiences have been extremely difficult for him and all our relatives, God has truly revealed himself to him and transformed his life inside out. I am thankful to see how God has prepared a wife for him so that he can experience a marriage that is planted on the foundation of God’s promises. It was definitely a touching day for all of us. Happy tears were shed for my uncle.

After the banquet, my parents and I were invited to coundown to the year 2010 with Christian artists of HK. We went to 鄭明明’s house in Tsim Tsa Tsui to meet with many Christian actors/actresses, models, singers in the entertainment industry. Although I felt a bit out of place, I felt so excited for this group of Christian artists because they are truly beacons of light in an industry of darkness. It was definitely a blessing to be able to witness how God has changed their lives and spurred them onto sharing their faith with other artists. The fireworks across the bay were beautiful. I will post pictures up once I find a cable for my camera. =P

January 2nd was my  cousin’s wedding. His wedding was beautiful as well. He dated Mandy for 10 years before they got married! Before Mandy came along, all my relatives called me Mandy (which I loved).. hahah.. now they are forced to call me Amanda. I’m so glad I got to come back for their wedding. My brother who is best friends with this cousin totally missed out. He would have been best man if he could come back. Too bad my brother had to work on New Year’s in Kitchener.

A little update on what I’m doing now.. I’m preparing myself psychologically and emotionally for the start of classes on Jan. 19th. Yes, I’ll be taking a few short courses while I’m here in Hong Kong. To be honest, I’m extremely nervous. This will be the first time I get to study in Hong Kong. Please pray for me… I don’t know what I’m worried about, but I’m worried.

Anyways, pictures will be added soon… =]

p.s – I miss you, Vancouver.
