Getting Used to Life Back At Home...It wasn't until I moved back home that I realize how much I had missed the bay area. It's really a new experience to see familiar faces of people I went to middle school or high school now working at the local shops and banks. These people from my past remind me of my childhood, yet, they also remind me of how we have all grown up and enter society as working adults.
Coming back home, I have the same sort of feeling as I had when I first moved to Davis, where I really wanted to explore all of Davis and Sacramento, and wanted to try out all the restaurants in the area. Even though I've lived in the bay area since I was nine, it wasn't until now that I finally have that freedom to explore the San Francisco Bay. My new job has given me opportunities to explore parts of San Francisco that I never knew existed.-----------------------------------------I've realized I haven't updated my xanga for nearly a year... My biggest weakness is that I can be so caught up with all the things that are happening in my life at any point in time that I forget to reflect on the experiences once they have passed. While some of you may feel that xanga is taking over too much of your life because you feel that you're on it way too often, I don't come on it as often as I should, because when I do think of xanga and read some of your entries, they make me think of my own life and get me to reflect on my own experiences.
So, thank you all for posting!

尋找
我曾經像一隻小小飛鳥
飛躍在這藍天海上
我無時無刻 徬徨無助
找不到可以傾訴
我曾經像一隻小小飛鳥
穿梭在這城市之中
我正在尋找 那慈愛雙手
那就是主耶穌
(副歌)
主啊!我要回到您身旁
我要回到您身旁
那慈愛雙手 正等著我
來擁抱我
主啊!我要回到您身旁
我要回到您身旁
那慈愛雙手 來擁抱我
那就是主耶穌
(encoded in Chinese Traditional --Big5)

"A Secret Garden of Davis"
That is precisely my first impression of this place when Jess brought me here a month ago for our last discipleship--a secret garden that I never knew existed for the past 3 years that I have been in Davis.
How much more of God's creations are out there, unknown to us, and await patiently for someone to reveal them to us, or for us to take the time to discover them on our own?
I'm glad I can finally spend some time (most of my time, actually) in Davis where I can begin to absorb God's presence, and the people, the things, the places that I have been with for the past three years. No more running away to China... for this summer, at least.
Reminescence...
Speaking of China, by this time for the past two summers, I would have already been running around, enjoying an exciting kind of freedom, and embarking on some exhilarating adventures. I can't wait for the day God will send me back there to do some more work for Him, whatever it may be...
Until then, I have only the memories and pictures to re-live the serenity of those days...
Top: a beautiful pasture I saw on a 7-hour bus ride on the way to my relatives' hometown
Top: on the mountains when I went hiking for 5 hours with my cousin Janie
Top: another shot of me on the mountains
Top: "Qian Shan" (Thousand Mountains), see the layers of mountaintops?
There are just so much more to our experiences in life than we have pictures for, or that words can express, and those are the precious memories to be treasured in our heart

As this year's Thanksgiving is about to come to an end, and just about everyone have said their thanks for the many blessings in their lives, I want to take to take this opportunity to express my share of gratitude...
to my parents for pouring on me their relentless love, their countless hours, and their hard-earned money.
to my grandma for her subtleness in caring for her grandchildren. I'm glad I got to know her better these few years since she has moved in with my parents.
to my friends: despite the divergent paths that our lives have taken us, you guys have still remained as my dearest friends all these years.
to the jawsome brothers in Epic: thank you for the big things you do for God, little things you do for each other, and the silly things you do to make us laugh ;)
to all my dear sisters in Christ: you have all been a real inspiration to me, and no words can express my gratitude for each and everyone of you :D
to Epic: no words can describe how much God has been growing me through the challenges He has put forth for me in Epic. Forever thanks for allowing me to be a part of the excitement that God is doing through our movement :P
to my most missed friends at Living Stones (formerly known as MCF): since I have gotten more involved with another ministry, I wasn't able to see you guys on Friday nights for awhile now. Nonetheless, I'm still glad to run into you guys every now and then on campus and at church. ;D
[not pictured]and to the place to which I will soon have to say goodbye yet again for a few weeks: I'm thankful that I have a cozy place I can call "HOME." =D
