a cold, sunny day in Vancouver...

Dear friends, have you ever acknowledged the fact that God is very good to us by means of creating this universe and via the beauty of the Nature? I had. I haven't experienced that for a long time in Hong Kong. I can often feel it here in Canada!

It's like "once in a blue moon" to get a bright day here in Vancouver, which rains 5-6 days in a typical week during winter. Yet, God granted me a sunny but cold day yesterday and, at the same time, an opportunity to capture this wonderful feeling of God's goodness. I took these using my "dummy digicam". Let you have a taste of God's Creation. Can't you see that I'm enjoying in the sunshine? =)

自從造天地以來、神的永能和神性是明明可知的、雖是眼不能見、但藉著所造之物、就可以曉得、叫人無可推諉．- <<聖經>> 羅馬書1:20

a White Christmas in the USA (updated)

"I'm......dreaming of a white......Christmas...."

It's not a dream this year! cuz I just had a very relaxed and a real "White" Christmas in a little town called Leavenworth in the State of Washington in the United States.

Joining a local trip from Vancouver, I went on the trip from Dec 25-26 with Candy, my fiancee, and her parents. With a whole morning's bus ride, we arrived at Leavenworth, a town that's well-known as "Little West Germany" among the Chinese community in Vancouver. We visited the spectacular architecture that imitates the buildings of Germany in ~19th Century (I guess), had "Pork Hand" and beer at the restaurant there, stayed overnight in the inn and shopped in the biggest factory outlet in Seattle next day.

Without many programs in the itinerary, it's a "neat" trip and refreshing one which really re-assured me that - I'm back to the comfortable North America. I hope to be rejuvenated before "coming back to life" and face the challenges of work (I hope this would not be my excuse to lay back and not looking for jobs, heehee).

Friends in HK, I miss you...sorry that I have to type a lot in English because I don't have a Chinese writing pad yet. Hope to get one soon, thanks for your patience in advance la. I prefer to write in Chinese actually.

即將展開新的一頁...不再3分鐘放縱!

左邊的標題是出自<<聖經>>腓立比書4章13節的經文。它是我的座右銘之一! "FROG" = Fully Rely On God.

我, Alfred the Frog, 是一個基督徒。 希望這經文可以每日提醒我, 念念不忘耶穌賜下的力量、愛和恩典!

在香港工作了兩年後, 我做了以下兩個決定: (1) 返回加拿大生活，與未婚妻Candy 重逢，人生即將展開新的一頁; (2) 開這個新的一頁"FROGBLOG"，再「的」起心肝寫網上日誌。

再拾起寫blog的筆桿，彷彿沒有了以往的那份沉重! 覺得自己雖然缺乏恆心寫blog，但今天又想起那句經文，又看到了一位主內姊妹的blog中分享，很是激勵! 希望自己真的, (真的真的真的), 不再3分鐘熱度，更加不要3分鐘放縱，要at least once a week, 在這裏給自己一個分享平台, 讓大家共享我的心聲 (其實也在鼓勵自己作多一點信仰上的屬靈分享)。
