It was such a beautiful wedding that I went to on Saturday. You know it is a perfect match when you feel God's existence between them. Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding (the wedding of cana). That's how important marriage is in our religion. He also used marriage to imply his relationship with the church. The Sacrament of Matrimony gives spouses the grace to love each other exclusively and permanently, and thereby image and manifest the love Christ has for His Church. Only in God, the Matrimony will be completed.
Paul stressed weveral times about his relationship with Ceci was a little different from what normal couples had. They both spent their lives in serving God and His church. He has found a good companion to continue this journey, of serving God. I am very happy for them. They will continue to serve only to a greater extend, as two people is better than one.
Ceci felt that she just finished organizing another retreat. This is not her work alone, but included time and effort of the whole team. I agreed. It was probably a retreat banquet bcause they set up such good examples in the way they serve the church with companions. They bought out good messages during the wedding and the banquet about how to love and belove in God. It was just..... Beautiful.
By the way, I haven't been so proud of myself for such a long time. For some reasons, i was really happy with the way I looked that night. People saw my pictures and said I was sophisticated. I am happy.

Nice beach time
Had a really great time with Elvia and Mimi at the beach on Friday. I was around an hour late and they were two hours late. Lucky that I waited for a while. It was simply laziness that I didn't feel like going anywhere after seeing zero familiar faces at the beach.
The meeting on Monday was long and boring. It was held at our choir president's house, which was very closed to church. By the time we were done, it was already 11:30pm. Another committee member gave me a ride to the station. There, I saw his car. What could he possibly be doing there so late at night?
I am honestly worried about him. His future seems blurried. All I wanted is to follow God's will. I wish him to do whatever God want him to do, to be wherever God want him to be. I wish he is happy with what he is doing. When he's upset, my heart cries with him. Personally I didn't want to bug him too much about how everything is going. However, seeing him upset makes myself upset as well.

Beach Blast
Too bad we didn't win and some guy from another was pissed at me because I was trying to score. How dumb? FYI, I argued with the ref for any controversial call. You can certainly do the same if you thought I should get called!! Trash talk me about the call that I argued about 10 points ago was just a little too ridiculous.
Those people were so nice to me, I went home with a big water bottle and a cooler. At the beginning I thought it was gonna be boring because it was recreational. Also, most of the players on the team was not very familiar with volleyball. I thought I would just ditch them and played with other people. But it turned out that they were really nice people Although we only met for the very first time, they talked to me, shared food, shared drinks, high 5 me. Everybody got my back when they knew some guys was mean to me. Thank you for being soooo nice to me. Thank you for letting me to be involved in this wonderful day.

Courses
Colin is leaving to NewFoundland on Sunday. This thursday, I met him for the very last time. It's quite amazing that we became really good friends from volunteering. What's more amazing is he is gonna be a doctor. He is going for Med School at Memorial at St John. Me and Miguel are both very happy for him because there are a lot of heartless doctors out there. And it's really nice to know that Colin, the future doctor, is not one of them. Go Dr Colin!!!
He told me a little about his program. He has to take anatomy, physiology and histology in the same semester. The only thing I could say is it's gonna be a lot of work. The fact that he did not take any of these courses in his undergrad doesn't help with the situation. All these courses are very interesting. I love them all, but putting them altogether in the same semester does NOT relate to the word FUN. BUT he's a smart guy, YOU can DO IT COLIN!!
Coming back to my program, I found out I need to take 7 courses. 5 of them are under the Faculty of Rehab Science, which means they are fixed. English and one General Education(GE) are the remaining 2 course. English doesn't sound like a choice, or does it? There are 18 courses to select from for GE. I have to select 10 courses from the list, rank them into different priorities, they are going to me into the first available one, upon my desire. Honestly, I really don't have much interest in those courses. Since I am a new student, it's very unlikely that I am granted the first choice. Here are the 18 courses.
- Space and Time: From Aristotle to Einstein (Conflict + boring)
- Emergcnce of Hong Kong Society (Absolutely no interest)
- Self, Service and Community (Interested but conflict)
- Appreciation of Cantonese Opera (Not appreciated of Chinese Opera)
- Technology and Society (Not interested)
- An Introduction to Literature in English (May be)
- Creativity and Creative Thinking (Conflict + not interested)
- Life and Death (Very interested but CONFLICT)
- Introduction to Logic (May be)
- World Issues and Human Responsibilities (Please don't...)
- Appreciation of Chinese Art and Design (Not appreciated)
- Introduction to Western Civilization (thank God it's conflict)
- The Four Great Classical Chinese Novels (the novels are very interesting but I haven't read of those)
- Wine Studies (May be but not sure if I'm gonna do well)
- China: Regions and Environment (not interested)
- Marketing and the Consumer (Interested but conflict)
- Facets of Human Relationship in Chinese Society (No Way)
- Creating Novels and Screenplay (Interested but conflict)
Does everybody feel the level of frustration here? So i am left with English Literature, Logic and Wine Studies. I have exactly 3 weeks to think about this.

Clubbing @ DNA
Haven't gone clubbing since April 2005. Being on the dance floor again after 1.25 years, I felt different from before. It did not give me a sad feeling anymore. FYI, this is probably the first time I had fun in a club.
This is actually a fundraising event for the Outtahand volleyball club. I guess Dave, our coach, was surprised to see me because I didn't say anything every time he talked about this event. I am probably the quietest person on the court. Quiet yet aggressive. And here I am, dancing my ass off.
A new teammates from Tigers came too. We talked about my future life in Hong Kong. She said I am so gonna change to a party girl. I may not be very active here, but I will change. Haha I don't know. My parents will kill me if I go party too often.
Today, I realized that I haven't heard any R&B music for a long long long time.
