Updates

It has been more than a month since i last update (again :P) Anyway .....

I've got myself a bicycle! It's a hybrid bikes, sth combination of a mountain bike and a road bike. It's really good (of course, i paid £169 for it) and comfortable. I paid another £45 for the gigantic lock and cable, £40 for the cycle bad (which normally hook behind the bike). The reason I suddenly had this urge to get on cycling is to save money n to exercise. I realise that in my schedule, I do not have time to exercise. Beside going to Imperial for PhD, at weekday night, i'll be attending meetings and care groups. Some of you might remember me talking about swimming, shy to say that i did not go for quite a while now!

But since my student travelcard is expiring, i might have well use the money i wanna to buy a travelcard to buy a bicycle. Then as i cycle, I'm glad to know that the time i cycle from home to college is very often quicker than I take tube to college! But of course now the con is weather is quite cold! Nevertheless, i will perserve! I wanna be healthy! Good to exercise! Second thing wanna update is: my brother is engaged (to Jocelyn). It at least take the 'get married' pressure from me now! CONGRATULATION to Fabian and Jocelyn (if you both ever read my blog).
3rd interesting thing was, our PhD supervisor, Prof. Duncan's 58th birthday. It was very random that during one lunch time, i asked him when is his birthday. He told me 24 Sep, but unfortunately he will be able in US to attend a conference. After telling Jacey, she proposed to have a surprise for him. We did the surprise a week before he's due to go US. I bought the cake from Chinatown and at noon time, we 'crashed' into his office to sing birthday song n brought the cake to him. He was really happy (obviously) :D We went to Crepe restaurant to had our lunch! Was really good

Student Outreach in Hatfield: earlier of the year, we realise that all the people in Hatfield CG will finish their studies (except 1 or 2). We started to worry abit, whether we will continue on. I encouraged everyone to continue on! We prayed alot about it. After came bck from Euro Convention, Jessie, Esther, Scott and I met twice a week to discuss and prayed even more. We then talked and plan.

God is blessing us so much. We managed to get in touch with the chaplain, Revd. Allan, who really provide so much help and advices, during one divine meeting we purposely requested for. We also met an international student official who was in charge of all the orientation program! She was a Christian, actively working towards bringing students to church. With all the helps, we started our first outreach on 15 Sep, which was a free food night. Then, we went to UH again on 18 Sep (the movie night), 20 Sep (information fair) and 21 Sep (garden party).

And finally on 21 Sep, we had our 'taster' care group. We invited all the contacts to join. With the team that we have (Jessie, Esther, Herman, Pom, Tom and myself), that night, 25 visitors turn up! We had KFC as dinner, then played 3 games (with prizes), sang 3 songs, I shared a short testimony and lastly, splitted into smaller groups to pray! it was really awesome! After the CG, the team sat down and evaluated. We all jst gave thanks to God and really ask God to give us wisdom, patience, perseverance and love towards these people, that they will soon take the step of faith to accept Christ! Pray for us! Our next event is mooncake festival dinner on 25 Sep! Very very excited!
