Rain.

Finally a few droplets of rain have poured down here in Wanchai, and while it probably didn’t help to reduce the heat, at least it does give me hope that a heavy downpour would be coming up.

I mentioned last week that I’ve downloaded a free trial pass at California Fitness, didn’t I? Well, I’m going to head over there this evening after work to see how the place is like and if it’s something that I like. Seriously, I think summer is the best time to shed a few of those extra pounds off me, and hopefully the experience there tonight is going to be nice enough for me to go back there. And you know what, I’m actually looking forward to going there even at this point of time! Now all I need is an affordable membership plan and I would be going back more often.

I went to the International Christian Assembly Church in North Point last Sunday for service and surprisingly my first English service in Hong Kong was remarkably good! It seems to me that the English-speaking church experiences that I’ve encountered are very much different from the experience that I’m having at my church. Somehow worshiping in English feels a bit different from worshiping in Chinese, and it was actually quite exciting. I think I may consider going there again in the future. That said, I think the most important thing is the mind and the truthfulness that we put into our worship that pleases God, and the format or procedures are perhaps secondary.

Another half a day to go and I have a bit of work to do in preparation for the training delegation that is coming in next week. With a few experiences in such training delegations in the past, I think I should be just fine.
