We Malaysians had a day trip to Tianjin yesterday. It was a nice but tiring day. I certainly feel I am getting older as I now get easily exhausted. Instead of blogging about the sights we saw and the food we ate, I will instead turn our focus towards an interesting topic that arose during dinner. We talked about the fact that despite Malaysia claiming that all races live in perfect and mutual harmony, racial tension is still inevitably and inherently part of the ...

I met up with Ahmad today at the Temple of Heaven. He was coincidentally travelling in Beijing with his family. Today was an extremely nice day - bright blue skies and good weather. It was definitely a gorgeous day to be out with an old friend of mine. I reached the Temple of Heaven 15 minutes late because as usual I had problems with the public bus. Somehow I always get myself lost or on the wrong bus route. Thus I was extremely glad to reach the Temple of Heave...

Yesterday I travelled alone to the Dashanzi 798 Art District because all my friends were busy with their own activities. So I had to go it alone. It was a rather long journey to the 798 Art District because of the change of buses twice and of course the mandatory getting lost aspect that inevitably happens to me.

It has indeed been a tiring week for me! Praise God that He has sustained me all through this week though. I went for my cell group or rather small group meeting here at BNU this evening. Although the group is rather small, I am nonetheless grateful for the opportunity to share in fellowship with fellow Christians. The small group will be held at Danilo's room at No. 1 Student Dormitory on Wednesdays, 6.30-8.00pm. The format of the meeting is slightly different f...
