change of plans

i arrived HK around noon time yesterday. leaving for shanghai this afternoon.

got an email from YM saying that she wont be able to go back to LZ as planned so i am cutting that part of the trip and come back to HK earlier.

when i was leaving sg and going to tw, i asked some people to pray for the people that i will meet, the things that i will see, hear and feel... that all will be what God intended. i think basically it called for an open mind and not insisting on doing this or that... (like going to the awesome party world K tv in taiwan... which i didnt get a chance to... )

basically i met these people...

• my old classmates from wesley (some of them)
• uncles and aunties from our old church
• my cousin, his wife, and a wonderful lady who works at ORTV
  
• office staff and associate missionary of CMI
• one EAST alumna/good friend
• spent time with my godma and her family
• a lady who is in charge of this humanitarian org who also stayed at where i stayed during the first few days

all the meetings were very meaningful. i was blessed with money, gifts, great food, and most importantly--great company. (quality time is my number 1 love language)

i was glad that it's also an accumulation of the blessings, and grace i've received during the sg trip. somehow... i was able to talk thru many issues that i am facing and hope to seek some adjustments after i go back home. through conversations, i realized that i am totally passionate about going into ethnomusicology and the vision of seeing nations worship in their own language, music, cultural ways. through the gifts and grace and blessings i received, i feel refreshed and am able to return to the Word... maybe the most important thing is the reminder to have a thankful heart.

there are 2 more weeks in my trip. i look forward to more people, sights, sounds, or whatever God has in mind for me.
