This year is not a good year for me.
At the end of 2009, I thought I will have less things to complete in the following year (2010) since I have finished organizing ECCCLC 2009, requested to stop teaching Sunday School and had less responsibility in the Montreal Chinese Catholic Youth Club. In fact, it does not happen. Problems did not go away because of less responsibility. There are 10x more problems than before. These problems are seriously hurting everyone. It broke lots of relationship between friends and relatives. I don't like this.
However, this year, my relationship with God has improved a lot. My prayer quality has been improved. Thanks for Fr. Francis Ching's teaching about prayer. He told me to pray "SPECIFICALLY". Do not put your prayer into an abstract way. I thank God specifically. I request what I need specifically too. I can feel my relationship between God and me get closer every time I finished a prayer. I think when you know a new friend, you also want to know him better. We can know a friend by communication. We can also know a friend by reading his/her blog. Bible is God's blog actually. Whenever my relationship with God get closer, I felt a strong hit from the Evil. Problems come up again and I sin again and again and again.... I can feel my weakness. BUT, God is great! God keeps telling me to fight the Evil with Jesus.
2010 will be passed in 10 days! I hope the Evil can stop attacking me. I will keep praying and hope you all can keep praying for me too.
One little memorable situation:
2 days ago, FLL had a TV episode about Br. Andre and they have interviewed me for around 1 min. I did not even watch it since I was on my way back from Toronto to Montreal. Monday morning (yesterday), I passed through the food court at Eaton Center. There was a person (that I don't know) stopped me and asked me if I am a Chinese and if I can speak Canto. She said she saw me on TV yesterday. Wow... it was only a less than one minute interview and I thought that not many people will watch「生命恩泉」in Montreal... but, that's really wrong!!!!!! Please support 「生命恩泉」.
The following 3 links are the episode about Br. Andre:

我「閒話」了七十集啦！
首先，我想多謝《生命恩泉》給了我們「閒話主流」團隊「愛的恩泉」這麼一個完美的平台。這個平台使我們能夠運用天主給我們的「塔冷通」作天主的事。傳福音是每一位基督徒受洗時對天主許下的其中一個承諾，這個大家都是知道的，但是大家可能覺得自己還沒有資格去傳福音，你是否覺得耶穌只會召叫合資格的人嗎？讓我們看看天主找了誰去作祂的工具和他們被召叫時的情況吧！
伯多祿缺乏自我控制能力、
保祿、伯多祿、梅瑟等聖人都脾氣暴躁、
所羅門王富有、有豐富智慧，但生活非常不檢點、
掃祿(歸化後名保祿)、梅瑟、達味王都犯個殺人罪
還有…
雅各伯是一個騙子 (創 25:26-34) 、
納敖米是一名寡婦 (盧 1) 、
辣哈布是一名妓女 (蘇 2:1) 、
梅瑟不是一個有口才的人 (出 4:10)、
耶肋米亞時常悲傷 (哀 3:16-24) 、
達味王有外遇 (撒下 2:11) 、
雅各伯、若望都自以為虔誠 (路 9:52-55) 、
諾厄喝醉酒 (創 9:21) 、
多默太多疑(瑪 20:25) 、
約納違背上主的召叫 (納 1:1-5) 、
弟茂德太年輕 (弟前 4:11-16) 、
亞巴郎則太老 (創 12:4, 17: 1-2, 18:1-15) 、
拉匝祿還已經死了！(若 11)
天主所挑選的人實在特別!在制作這七十集的「閒話主流」裡，常常遇到困難，有多次使我萌起放棄的意念。有次我祈禱問耶穌:為甚麼召叫一個沒有資格的人去做這件那麼重要的事(在電台福傳)?於是第二天，奇蹟就發生了!我去了一個靈修講座，導師介紹了很多聖人及耶穌的門徒，他們都是有著自己的問題與缺點，但是天主仍然召叫了他們。原來天主召叫了我和召叫他們的理由也是一樣—我們都是不完美的，但是如果我們都有共同的使命，集合我們各人的塔冷通，那我們就是完美了。
做一集十二分鐘的「閒話主流」需要的人力並不少，一方面需要不同人提供靈修上的資料、另一方面又要有「閒話主流」的娛樂特色，目的是要吸引非教友及年輕教友注意，同時又要傳達天主的訊息。要平衡這兩個大原則，我們的團隊就需要有各式各樣的義工，而這些義工都要有共同的使命。感謝主給我認識了一班這樣「奇怪」的朋友！他們願意每星期犧牲時間來開會、錄音、剪接及作無限次的修改！我們當中每個人都擁有不同的專業，如果我們一起組織一間公司，應該以經「發咗」！但我們知道天主賜給我們的「塔冷通」是要去作天主的事。
「閒話主流」團隊是身處滿地可，我們不但不能在收音機旁收聽最新的節目，就連在多倫多或溫哥華聽眾的鼓勵及意見也很難收到。所以，如果大家對「閒話主流」有甚麼意見或新題材，請多多提出；又或者來滿地可遊覽時，可以順道到滿地可中華天主堂探望我們，給我們寶貴的意見！
最後我再想多謝所有曾經給我們鼓勵及意見的人，沒有你們的支持，我相信「閒話主流」不能突破七十集。
天主保佑!

窮的定義
一位父親很有錢，有一天，他和家人帶著小兒子到鄉下去參觀。
他們立意要讓小兒子知道什麼叫做「窮」，所以帶他去農村，
要他實地體會一下窮人的生活。
他們在一個很窮的農家裡住了兩天。
農家的孩子要負責餵養家畜，要負責訓練幫忙農事的狗。
傍晚時分，為了節省自來水費，農家的孩子們都到附近的小溪裡去洗澡；
晚上沒錢沒燈、沒錢付電費，只能全家聚在黑漆漆的院子裡聊天。
當他們從農家回來以後，爸爸問孩子說：「你覺得這趟行程如何？」
孩子說：「很好啊！爸爸！」
「你見識到窮人家到底有多窮了吧？」爸爸問。
「是啊！」孩子點頭稱是。
「那你看到了什麼嗎？」爸爸又問。
孩子回答說：「我終於見識到我們家到底有多窮了。」
孩子繼續說：「我們只有一隻狗，但是他們卻有四隻狗；
那四隻大狗在他們小孩的指揮之下，又聽話，又懂事。
當他們家的小孩好神氣！」
「而且，我們只有一個游泳池，還是在花園中間；
但是他們卻有一整條溪流，沒有盡頭；
他們每天都可以盡情地玩水仗，我們家卻只有我一個人游泳。」
「還有，我們家的花園只有一排進口的路燈，可是他們卻有滿天的星星；
他們每天晚上都可以聊天聊得好高興，可是我們家卻沒有人跟我聊天。」
「我們家的空間只到前面庭院，但他們卻有整個天地的空間。」
孩子作了個結論。 孩子說完，父親無言以對。
是的，只要有愛、有朋友、有家庭、有健康、有幽默感、
對人生懷抱積極的態度，那你就是最富有的人！

To All Friends that are suffering... [Suggested English song 1]
To All Friends that are suffering...
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies crying,
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world
God bless...
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies crying,
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

Happy Wednesday
Some of you may know, I am a host in FM 102.3 in Montreal. Every wednesday at 10:30 - 11:30 pm, you can also listen to my voice on the radio. The show's name is called "Happy Wednesday" (開心星期三). The objective of the show is to bring happiness to audience. We will try to present news in a funny way. If you have never listened to it, you can always listen the archieve by click on the link I put in the right hand side of this blog. Give me comments.... I really need comments. I know people always say good thing in front of me, which will of course make me happy. However, people who tell me negative comments, I love them.
I remembered that there was someone actually asked me out for a lunch and told me that... "you know.. you did something and it hurts me... I hate you Billy, bla bla" He can tell me this in front of me because he loves me. I treat him as my real real friend. Nowadays, it's so hard to get someone to point out your mistakes in front of you in a positive way. Here, I want to say thank you to all my Real friends....
It is not easy to do "Happy Wednesday". I am a human. I cannot be always happy. Yes, I always make jokes... it is because I want to see people to smile. I love people to laugh and to be happy. Someday, when I am not happy, it is so so so so so hard to do "Happy Wednesday", when I sit in the studio, my brain will be blank when I am sad. I need to tell myself... I need to be funny... I need to be funny. After 1 year working in the radio show, I found that the actors or actresses are so good. They can change their emotions easily.
Today, I watched a concert on DVD. I cannot count how many times I had tears on my face. So touching. I want to know actually if the singer can be that emotional every night in the concert? If yes, that means he/she really passed thru a lot in his/her life. I am so easy to cry now. Easy to get touched... so emotional.....How can a computer programmer be that emotional???? hahahaha
Happy Wednesday is such a good way for me to encourage myself at least one time a week. I love to do that show because everytime, after the show, my mood will change. So, self encouragement is so important in our daily life. I can only understand this now.. wow... I am an EQ trainer MAN!!!!! Yes, if I don't have those "sad" experiences, I won't know the meaning of "happiness". Thanks God....
