In my ipod, there are a lot of CCMs (Contemporary Christian Music), about 80% of 10Gs are all CCMs.
This is something that I enjoy so much, and something that not a lot of people around me would understand.
But, This is one thing that I really enjoy day in and day out.
Also, this is a reason why I keep it closest to me day in and day out.

Today, after attending a service at a Korean Church in Hong Kong, I was lucky enough to find the Quarry Bay.
Well, I was just walking and walking with no reason..
I set down at a bench and this music started to play..

This is by a CCM group called “Tent of David”

One thing I have desired of the LORD
That will I seek
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life
To behold the beauty of the LORD
And to inquire in His temple
Just let me live

In the Beauty of Your holiness
This one thing I have desired
To be changed into Your purity
From glory to glory, forever with You

주께 구했던 한 가지 소망 기도하니
나의 사는 날 동안 주의 집에 거하며
주 아름다움 앙망하며
그 전에서 사모케 하소서
오 나의 주
거룩한 주의 아름다움
오직 한 가지 내 소망
주님 정결하게 하소서
영광에서 영광으로
영원히

After doing my laundries, I started to read “Lonely Planet” book to figure out where I should go and to sight see.

I wanted to look, feel and experience Hong Kong and Chinese…
First thing that I wanted to see was traditional markets, to me these are the places where people’s life can be seen and felt maximum.
I wanted to take those life in my pictures…

The book recommended a place called “Sheung Wan”, oh well.. I have to say, I am bit disappointed.

So I walked and walked and walked without a map to Admiralty, which is about 2 MTR stations.
Only thing that I could see were luxury shops, well I can’t say I don’t like those, but…. not the ones that I wanted to see TODAY!!!! :(

Pictures that I took, I don’t like.. sigh..

Overall… I am not happy with today..
Except the fact that I walked for awhile, and sweated good amount which I am happy with :)

I have arrived in Hong Kong a week ago.

This trip the second official job for myself at the new position.
Oh, now I am officially a “Consultant”.
This is a two and half weeks long engagement.
Living in a hotel room for a week, I am just getting used to the “aircon noise”…

So far, it is intriguing. The surrounding is in the mixture of KR and AUS.

Driving on the ‘right’ side of the road :)
But, people and culture has bit more Korean flavour than Australian.

Today is the first time that I am going to give myself a time to tour and take some pictures.

So it has been two weeks since I made the decision to move on from one service organization to another service organization.

The basic decision came down to what I want to do in next 5 years, and whether my family is willing to leave everything behind.
If this was about 4 years ago, without Jedi and Jonathan, I may have decided to move.

However, I realized that this is not about myself now.
Of course, this is my life, and I could do whatever I pleased.
However, there is important people in my life, I don’t want them to suffer any consequences based on my decisions.
Whether it is leaving behind what we have built in last year and half and so on.

More over, during last 9 years of being with the company, I moved about 5 times, except the initial move to BNE, everything else was pretty much paid by the company. I started also realized that I am not young as once I was. I felt that “Active Trial & Error & Learn” was the right motto for younger ages than where I stand right now. For me this is more towards a time where I now need to find my feet on a solid ground and be able to grow based on those feet, and be able to provide my family a nice big shadows for them to rest and dwell.

I have told few around me about this decision, but this had to be the hardest decision that I made for my 34 years of life.
And this is a decision that I am so excited to see succeed.

There were a lot of advices but so far the best one that I got was from my mentor, any decision that was made longer than 7 seconds ago is past, and shouldn’t dwell in it. That is right. I have been dwelling on so much of my past. I need to use this opportunity to change myself from “Past Dweller” to “Future Driven” and being able to put 110% efforts in the present.

THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING AND WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ONE!
