LINE UP PLEASE!!!!!!

Before I get into my title. Just need to update.

2 weeks went by, what did I do? I finally finished the Beijing Mission Trip Video. I'll post it up on my video page asap. I joined Flight 852 and unofficially became a leader there. I'm looking forward for September once the summer holiday is over and all the kids are back. Last week, I started counting my ministries. SIX!!! Yeah, I was on SIX ministry teams. God told me that I really to have to leave some of them before I get burn out again. I will miss dancing in Revolve the most.(I;m going behind the scene to work on their music). F&B @ 180 had tick my interest in cooking again. Not able to play to much bass anymore at 180. Now I have to focus on the media, Flight and worship team.

In terms of media, August is going to be the most challenging month ever since I came to HK. I will have to spend the entire month working on the Who May Ascend DVD. This is like the biggest project I've ever done. This is my first project that will be view by thousands of people(yes, I believe thousands of the CD are going to be sold). The release date is Mid September. I needed finish everything by early September. PRESSURE'S ON!!! Not only this, God has started giving me a bunch of test and challenges for me, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. To be honest, I'm so weak on all of these as I'm writing this. The first test had been already a hard test for me already. Can I deal with them? Wait, I shouldn't be dealing with them, God should. Wait, again, can I surrender to Him? At these moment, I can't even confirm. So friends, if I ever get little frustrated, pls forgive me.

Ok, can people learn to line up? After dinner at the New Century Plaza in Mong Kok, my brother, sis-in-law and I decided to get some Mrs Fields' cookies. Buy 3 get 3 free. As we were lining up, these two foreign guys, with a bunch of foreign girls(I'm not mentioning race to avoid any thing sense of racism here), decided to bud in the line. Hong Kong people are soo shy or afraid to stand up for anything. No one said anything. So I decided to stand up for the people. "Hey buddy, you are budding." "He was like 'It's ok, I know I know'" WHAT THE!! I then continue to ask him to go to the back of the line. He explained he's not buying the special deal, so he can just go. I was like "yo, what the heck are u talking about, u still have to line up" THose cookie girls at the counter are just useless. How can they let him bud? I know why, because he was a foreigner and they were afraid to ask him to line up. The worse part was the other guy was like "yo I didn't stick a knife to the sales girl to let us buy it, she was willing to let us in." Man, that was so "inch". Today I was not in a good mood already, and with that I could really explode!! Luckily, some local in the line was backing me up. This guy at the front was funny as he was using his broken English to yelled at the guys. At the end, they got there cookies. As they leave, one of those girl that were with them told us to SHUT UP and gave us the FINGER!! I was like...man I was so close to go up and yell at them too. Then the local guy in front said "Get out of HK, we don't welcome you!" I was laughing so hard.. Where is my brother? It's he was backing me up as my blood brother already. Aiya, anyone film the whole thing? Put it on youtube.

Well, what do I think? It was bad hospitality, I guess, telling tourist they are not welcome to HK and asking them to leave. But for these people, it's the right thing to say. Forgot to tell u that, the two foreign guy can speak Cantonese too. They are showing the worse HK manner themselves..
Anyway, yeah, I stand up for HK people once more....sooo buy 3 get 3 free at Mrs Fields before closing.

Too much stress almost became Uncle bus.

Every queue I've been in there's always atleast one chinese Hong Konger trying to push in, so they are setting a bad example. And I hate it when they tell people 'To get out of HK' or 'Go back home'! Would you like it if someone said that to you? How many non-Asians are born and raised in HK? All I'm saying is make sure you're making a stand for the right reasons.

Yeah, I kind of agree with Michele. I hate it when people push in line, and I usually speak up. But telling people to "get out of my country" is really wrong too.

Anyway, I can't wait to get working with you on the DVD. It's going to be awesome :)
