美麗的開始...

對我來說「婚禮」是一個又開心又美麗的開始。倆個原本活在不同世界的人，藉著一次機緣的認識，便走在一起。而最終相方願意放下自己，無條件的去接納，尊重及愛護對方。而互相欣賞更是維繫這承諾的一個不可缺少的要素。

願健燎及嘉慧有一個新的開始，互相能拖住大家隻手直至天荒地老,阿們。

A better start....Autumn!

Finally Autumn is here...Leaves start to turn yellow, brown or red. I really missed the Autumn in Guelph. The whole city was decorated with red colour of maple leaves. It looked so beautiful.

Hopefully Autumn will be a better start for me... at least I would not sprain my finger like last week, I would not cut my finger like last week nor I pulled my foot muscle.

Goodbye Summer....Cheers for you... Autumn!

Rex Lewis-Clack

Just came across this story from Yahoo today...

"Rex - A little boy with both a severe disability and a great genius. He is a musical savant. Rex was born blind, with brain damage so severe it looked as though he would never walk, talk, or do much of anything. And yet, he has a musical talent few of us can imagine. 60 minutes Lesley Stahl has been following the amazing story of Rex Lewis-Clack for more than four years."

No wonder when disciples asked Jesus why a man blind from birth (John chapter 9), Jesus replied like that ," Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life..."

Tomato

After a couple of sunny day, tomatoes slowly turn red. They taste so sweet and juicy. Eunice loves them so much.

一種感覺

近日這種感覺常常在我的心裏徘徊:「在我心靈，有一希望，就是返到造物主身旁...」;「As the deer panteth for the water,So my soul longeth after you...」

Toshiba Laptop

Flora and I would like to have a laptop for a long time. Because of our tight budget, we cannot really afford an expensive one. So we always delay about this thought.

Recently we feel that urge again and decide to look for one in this Labour day weekend. After browsing all the flyers, we found out even $400 you can buy a new laptop. Well, it is a good news for us.

After asking advise from my brother, we noticed that those are the lower end ones and he recommended us to get something better and would last a bit longer. For something better... it means a higher price tag.

So we ended up buying a more expensive Toshiba A200-AH3. It is already on sale and is sold for $600. We totally understand... we can't ask for too much for whatever prices that we paid (we cannot even think about those are costing $1000+ ). So just hope that it works fine and allows us to do our works.

Anyway, we are still thankful whatever we have bought.

Trip to Emergency!

It was a tough week for us. Isaac has a running nose and coughing for so long (especially during night time). We tried all the counter top cough and cold medicines but none of them worked on him. So Flora and I decided to bring him to see our family doctor(before this Labor day long weekend). However, she was on her vacation. Then we tried to go to the walk in clinic yesterday but they were also closed. So we decided to try Burnaby hospital children care clinic (usually the line up is mucher shorter) But we found out that they changed their policy since July1, you must have a doctor's referral. What a luck... we made several calls to ask for help but it ended up with a empty hand. Then we drove home and hoped Isaac would become better.

Unfortunately, he became worse and started to have "wheezing" sound. We had no choice but had to bring him to Vancouver children hospital emergency room. After we arrived, they brought him to the resting room and gave him some Ventolin to breathe in. We stayed there for two and half hours and Isaac was discharged. Eunice and Isaac were totally exhausted when we arrived home at around 11 pm.

The whole night Flora and I could not sleep at all. It is beacuse Isaac was not getting any better after we came back from ER. The wheezing sound came back and same as the cough. Around 3 am this morning, we had to get him inhale the Ventolin. But his situation did not improve and he could not sleep. So at 7 am, we woke up Eunice and brought Isaac to emergency room again.

Once we arrived, he was sent to the room directly and the doctor increased the Ventolin dosage and also gave him some other steroid medicine to take. Doctor said that Isaac had a lung and bronchi virus infection (may be caught it from Flora). Since I am a asthma patient, my children will have a higher chance to have asthma as well (their lungs are more sensitive than others kid).

After another 5 hours stay, Isaac's condition has been under control. (Doctor told us that it is still to early to tell whether Isaac will develop asthma or not... All in God's hand). Once again, we could go home. Isaac has to inhale Ventolin every 4 hours but he does not like it at all. He still has little bit wheezing sound right now. Hopefully, it will be stopping soon when he is getting better. If not, we might have to visit the ER again.. tonight.

God ! Please bless this little one. Amen.
