My dad is my hero. In this world, there's no one that I respect more than my dad. He is the model Hong Kong entrepreneur, who risked his life to come to this city, with nothing on him except the clothes that he was wearing, and worked his way up into the successful businessman that he is today. During this long journey, he endured many challenges; he was ridiculed and mocked, he went bankrupt, and was taken advantage of by others. Even now, he carries much of the family's burden on his shoulders. And yet, during all the years that I've known him, I've never heard him complain even once about the hardships in life, or the obstacles that he had endured or continues faces today.
Looking back, I don't think I've done much to show him my appreciation, and even now, I still wonder what I can do. But here, I want to give a shout-out to all (whoever reads this thing anyway...) for my dad. His humility, his positive outlook in life, and his love for people really inspire me to keep on striving in this fallen world. Although he is not yet a believer, but his actions speak louder to me than some of the Christians that I've encountered (myself included.) I pray that during this time that I get to spend with him, he will be able to see the love that I have for him, through the big and small things that I do everyday, whether it's driving him to work, or buying him something nice, or taking care of him when he's sick, or just spending time with him.
Love challenge: Try to appreciate and show love to your parents in big and small ways, every day.

This Saturday morning dawned a little differently than normal. Originally, I had planned a fun day of going kayaking with my cousin, but unfortunately, because of tropical cyclone Conson, the outing got cancelled. So instead of hanging out with my cousin, I decided to spend time with my mom. We ended up cleaning out a cupboard, which is definitely not the most fun of tasks, but in the process, we dug up some old memories that we had a good laugh over. I'm so thankful for my mom, for her unconditional love, and for all the great times that we shared together.
