死不了

全球经济放缓对大家有什么影响?
我想对那些每个月定定出粮的打工族影响该不大,也许年底的花红少了些,也许milo贵了一点,但生活还是可以过.
我人不在家乡,没有办法想像究竟这次世界性的经济放缓究竟对祖国造成怎样的影响.但对英国的影响就真的很大了.
报纸的标题常常都是关于英国经济很差(15年来最底点),失业率提高,房地产狂跌,通货膨胀(白米在一夜之间长了40%)等等不利的消息.英女王也为此取消了皇室庆典.
英国会不会走出这次"灾难",就要看它的领导人了.每个国家有它要经历的过程,每个人亦有他会经历的人生.人生不会永远顺心顺意,不可能永远处以高峰,但人生也不会永远处于低谷.
用世俗的眼光来看,我绝对是处在低谷的那一个人,工作没找到(我是指本行),爱情交白卷,银行户头也没几个钱.曾经一度甚至想到像我这样的一个人是没有什么输不起的.因为我已经没什么害怕失去的,反观拥有很多的人,这个怕,那个又怕,就因为他们所拥有的一切,让他们cannot afford to lose.
但做人最忌讳就是丧了志气,如果做人一点小挫折就呼天抢地,怨天怨地,那真是神仙都打救不了他.
很多时候我也不会明白为什么总是那么多不顺利的事情发生在我身上,很多朋友说我运气不好,但我不信这一套. 因为自亚当犯了罪,这世界就已经不完美,只不过有时候问题没有临到你身上.
我相信我所经历的一切,是为了成就将来的一些事情,当然现在我看不到,但总有一天,我会明白.
借着主给我的力量,我可以大声说:"我死不了!!",也希望大家不要一点小事就轻言放弃.

我 将 这 些 事 告 诉 你 们 ， 是 要 叫 你 们 在 我 里 面 有 平 安 。 在 世 上 你 们 有 苦 难 。 但 你 们 可 以 放 心 ， 我 已 经 胜 了 世 界 。 约16:33

Post Holiday Disease - 长假后遗症

今天是长假（15/11-26/11）结束后的第一个工作天，一整天都好像在梦游般，不知道自己究竟在干什么。
要说自己的心还在意大利吗？也不是，反正就是一整天整个人都处于“放空”状态，别人若和我对话的话，就会觉得我反应迟钝，灵魂和身体好像并不在同一个地方。
犹记得以前每次旅行回来，我总需要大概一个星期才能重新投入工作，毕竟冷了的机械是需要一段时间才能热起来。
而在那一个星期里，我就是Post Holiday Disease病患者，不知道大家会否和我一样有同样的问题呢？

神啊，请多给我一点时间！

不知不觉已经来到了2007年的尾声，而我也在这边待了将近半年，在这半年里面，我真的经历了好多好多，只是很遗憾没有办法一一把它给记录下来，有违当初create这个blog的意愿。

只是想告诉大家，这半年来我过得忙碌又从充实，真的没后悔来到Lee Abbey这边，上帝还是很恩待我的。至于所有的主内弟兄姐妹，你们真的可以考虑来这边侍奉。

而现在，我只想有多一点点的时间，让我可以写写我的生活经历。

讨厌电脑

我还是很讨厌电脑，我真怀疑电脑是不是跟我有什么仇恨。自从拥有第一架电脑开始，我的电脑从来不会乖乖听我的话，叫它做东，它就做西。

还以为新的laptop一定会比较正常一点，谁知，在install了不超过５个software之后，它竟慢得像乌龟一样。尤其是我在处理相片的时候，简直是可以一边看书一边等它load。在加上对Windows Vista的不熟悉，让我觉得我这个Computer Science graduate像个电脑白痴。

气死我了！

I'm sorry!

最近收到很多complain说我没有update blog.在此想向各位有阅读我的blog的朋友们说声抱歉，不是不想update,而是有太多事情在发生，心情上的起落其实还蛮大的，所以也就没什么心情来写blog.

那究竟这两个月发生了什么事？我的房间淹水、我换了房间也换了roommate、好几个谈得来的朋友都相续离开、我买了laptop、我去了奥地利、我成为Frida的sponsor、Frida又被调去kitchen team.....等等，太多事情到我也不记得了。

感谢各位捧场，我会继续努力！

Please save North Korea !!!!!

Last week, two VIPs came to Lee Abbey, they are Shin and Ang from North Korea. At first, I thought there was nothing wrong with this, well, people are liberal to move or travel around, as Lee Abbey has people from all around the world, so there's nothing wrong if we have people from North Korea. But later, I found out from my roommate and Lan that North Korea is not open to the world. People in North Korea are not allow to travel to other countries, and North Korea also does not welcome foreigner to their country. This country remains its status as the world's most secretive country (even people from South Korea are not allow to go to North Korea, I never knew this until my roommate told me).

Shin and Ang are actually the refugees, they escaped from their country, today, they are here to reveal the situation in North Korea. I was shocked when I came to know that North Korea still maintain the concentration camp which is similar to Nazi’s concentration camp during World War II. People are there for no reason, people are there to be mistreated, overwork, tortured, raped, killed, public executed and etc. The way of punishment is beyond our imagination.

Shin was borned in the concentration camp in year 1982, he did not know why he was there, he never knew that there is a outside world accross the electrified barbed wire fence, until one day a 'newcomer' told him about the outside world, (this 'newcomer' died when he tried to escape), he thought that the concentration camp that he was living is the world.

His mother and brother were public executed, his father and he is one of the 'audience' to witness the execution. His mother was hanged and his brother was shot. His finger was cut because of a small mistake he made in the garment factory (there are factories in the camp!!!!), he was tortured by scorching. His cousin was raped until death. Children in the camp are forced to do hard labour work and many children died of accident while working.

Ang is the guard in the concentration camp, according to him, all the officer in the camp were brainwashed when they first started to work in the camp, they were taught that those prisoner in the camp are not human but animal, they can do whatever they want to them. I was really shock by knowing this, and there are still a number of concentration camp in North Korea, and about 200,000 prisoners are still in the camp, waiting to die!!

This two men are accompanied by 5 more people from South Korea, these people are working in a position to save North Koreans. There were tears in my eyes while listening to the truth (there was a session held here to reveal the truth in concentration camp'), I really felt sad.

Perhaps you may ask, why Shin and Ang can be friends and sitting side by side today, aren't they suppose to be enemies? (as Shin is the victim and Ang is the guard) well, this is the great work done by our Lord Jesus Christ, both of them are Christian now and through God, there are forgiveness and miracles.

Here's the article of interview in the newspaper:

and here's the website of people who are helping North Koreans:

I would strongly urge you not to buy any products from North Korea, as these are made by blood of North Koreans!! Please save North Korea!!
