Chinese Calendar......
Ha.....it's so chinese! We chinese do have our own Chinese Calendar, and our new year is not celebrate on the 1st January according to the Western Calendar, but falls on 18th February. (Confused yet?)
In China, the traditional calendar is known as the "agricultural calendar" (農曆 nónglì, 农历), while the Gregorian calendar is known as the "common calendar" (公曆 gōnglì, 公历), or "Western calendar" (西曆 xīlì, 西历).
The Chinese calendar (農曆 nónglì) is a lunisolar calendar whose date indicates both the moon phase and the time of the solar year.
Every year, we chinese label the year according to the Chinese Zodiac which made up by the Twelve animals (十二生肖 shí'èr shēngxiào, or colloquially 十二屬相 shí'èr shǔxiàng) representing the twelve Earthly Branches are, in order, the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig (or boar).
And I think this year is the "Piglet" year! (Tee hee hee.....it's true!) And I was born in the "sheep" year. (blahhhh blahhh.....black sheep) Don't we chinese just have our own "interesting" way!? Wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year!

Night Classes......
Ummm....I didn't update myself much huh! Recently, I just applied for a weekly friday night classes about Missiology at STS, Sabah Theological Seminary. This course will last until end of June; conducted by an American Professor "Dr. Phil Baker", a very old man (around 70) but amazingly zealous person.
So, Missiology huh! What's that? I was scratching my head the first day I seated in my class. My class-mates were mostly pastor, seminary students, professional people...... not very friendly in deed! (I can't imagine how rude for somebody not smiling back when I put up my "celebrity" smile! What a bunch of "HOLY" people! huh.....) I guess my long dye hair with funny hat, allows them to categories me.....the nerd, wacko! (I love being wacky!) Ummm....who cares about them! I'm here to upgrade myself about mission!
Funny story, I was talking to the guard in the gate, who apparently got the job in this seminary few months ago. He was not a Christian, and no one talks to him about the gospel of Jesus, and he wasn't invited for the chapel service. (Gosh.....that's really get me! Piss off!) Well, here I am studying about mission, and the professor said that God's love is for all the people of the world, not only exclusively to special people (such as Christian) and we need to spread it out; and all the students nodded their heads. (What a bunch of phoney!) I don't see their interest in being a missionary, but just plainly academic.
Sometime I really don't understand how human can behave in such a way, studying the topic about saving mankind yet not practise it! Looks serious in front of a professor, but take it lightly outside the class......Please practise what you preach! (Good Lord!......)

A picture worth a thousand word......
I love the saying of "A picture worth a thousand word....". Everytime I gaze upon these picture, it remind me so much about the stories, happening in my mother earth, my ground, my roots, my history.
Didn't we sometime longs to change the way things happen, bend the events in another direction, but life is unfair to us...don't you think! We have to accept the way things turn up, we have to embrace the reality of the events, even though the truth seems to haunt us. (huh.....)
I always desired to pray for the world, begging God to move our mother earth, to change people, to heal the broken soul, to drive out the bloody war from our history, I just pray and pray and pray...... God, saves us!
