This year, we witnessed a series of disasters happened in the world, sichuan earthquakes, mynamar cyclone, california wild fire... Some people may question, if God loves us, why does he put us in these difficult situations?

This may gives you a better perspective on God's Act:

We are really very lucky because God LOVES us alL!

因為我的personal yoga trainer的極力推薦, 我在saturday參加了一年一度的Asia Yoga Conference. 雖然我已習"舞"多年, 但可能是天姿有限, 更大可能是我一直都不是太努力, 其實我的瑜珈並不是練得太好.  也是為了這原因, 我開始找personal yoga.  希望找個老師給自己多點壓力, 亦可以找到一個私人教練, 了解我的程度和狀態, 安排一個更適合我的"課程".  經過一段時間後, 我覺得我瑜珈技巧真的進步了.  而且身體的力量提升了, 柔軟度也有改善.

但, 我從沒有想過, 會參加在會展舉行的Asia Yoga Conference.  活動的名字給人一種很嚴重的感覺, 好像是個專為yoga trainer 或well trained yogi而設的活動.  要不是我的yoga trainer鼓勵我去參加, 我真的不會去.

4日的conference, 我參加了sat的其中兩堂.  進入會場後, 我完全感受到這股熱愛yoga的力量.  我見到很多yogi在會場, 有些在休息, 有些在趕下一場, 有些在攤位內購買, 很是熱鬧.  看到那麼多yogi聚在一起, 不但香港人, 有些更是從世界各地前來參加的人, 難怪很多人都說yoga風已漫延至整個世界.

雖然我只參加了兩課, 但絕對獲益良多.  我感受到大家認真上課, 用心去享受yoga的氣氛.  我見識到不同老師的風格, 同學們提出問題的熱烈.  我更體驗到yoga不只是肢體運動, 更是精神上, 心情上的鍛鍊.

非常期待明年Asia Yoga Conference 的舉行 (2009年6月12日).  希望我在未來一年, 能夠加強自己的體能, 技巧, 以及對yoga的認識, 好好準備自己, 明年再去參加Asia Yoga Conference.

各位喜愛yoga的朋友, 請不要備AYC的名字嚇怕, AYC其實是適合任何熱愛yoga的人, 無論你的初學者或老師級, 你都可以在AYC內學到更多!

遇見神 - 張敬軒

看天邊飄過雲海告訴世界幻變常在

從來人在月缺下盼月圓
天天總有上演

告訴你我動人故事
動人情節留下伏線

細心飾演

如何人心粉碎像微塵
無言留淚

滿身抖震
如何遇見神

被擁抱

再得起身
明明平安彷彿天邊遠

流連遊盪

暗失方寸
然而遇見神

被指引

再生精采心內滲

Hey everyone,

I know I am too lazy recently, as I haven't updated my blog for a really long time.  Today, I'd like to share a meaningful song - You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban.  I like the lyrics very much.  Enjoy!  May God bless you all!

Cheers,

Grace

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

Dearest Pepper,

It's really hard for me to say goodbye to you. 

I will always miss you! I will never forget you.

Thanks for giving us so many happy moments, unforgettable memories during your short stay with us. 

If God wants you to go back and stay with him, I will let go.

Please, if you love us like we love you, please pray for my family!  Please pray for Coffee as well.  Let him stay strong, healthy and happy with us for years and years! 

And someday, I know we will meet again!  Then, we can play again!

Pepper, farewell!  I love you forever!  Coffee loves you too!

Love,

Grace Jeh Jeh

Coffee終於做大佬啦!  雖然我屋企成日都好熱鬧, 我仍然覺得有時Coffee會覺得悶, (可能我地始終唔識同佢講貓話啦).  加上我細佬成日話Coffee同佢唔close, 佢好想要多一隻貓, 希望新貓仔會愛佢多D, 又可以陪下Coffee.  終於, 我地係11月中加入咗新member, 叫Pepper, 佢係一隻4個月大嘅Scottish Fold. 

啱啱Pepper返屋企時, Coffee真係好惡.  佢一直以來係屋企嘅唯一的貓, 好似貓王咁, 冇同其他貓相處嘅經驗.  佢突然見到屋企多咗一隻同佢差唔多形態嘅生物, 又緊張, 又驚, 立即變得好alert, 好惡, 不停"fiii" Pepper, 又係到怪叫嚇佢.  有時Coffee仲想打Pepper, 但佢太驚啦, 唔敢望住Pepper打, 所以好多時都係打空氣!  好好笑.  反而Pepper好大膽.  佢唔係太驚Coffee, 有時佢癲得太緊要, Pepper會避下佢, 去D Coffee入唔到去嘅地方.  Coffee叫得太勁, Pepper都會反叫, ok大膽.  夜晚為咗大家可以有"覺"好"罰", 細佬帶咗Pepper入房.  Coffee就不時夜半拍門... 煩死人.  佢仲當咗我細佬係敵人, 好憎佢.

呢個狀況都維持咗3日, 慢慢Coffee可以接受Pepper.  加上Pepper唔怕死嘅性格, 成日去搵Coffee, 佢地好快就建立感情.  依家, Coffee有時會當Pepper係仔咁, "lam"佢, 同佢清潔身體.  有時又會同佢你追我逐, 打來打去, 好好笑.  佢地仲會一齊sleep, 又會搶野玩, 好friend, 好cute!

Musee d'Orsay都好大, 入面嘅裝修同Le Lourve好唔同.  Le Lourve好classic, Musee d'Orsay就modern d, 好有taste.  我地買咗Paid Exhibition同Musee門票, 真係有好多好有趣, 好靚嘅晝.  行到我地好累.  Musee入面有間裝修得好有class嘅餐廳, 叫Le Restaurant, 我地都係入面食lunch.  我地食咗daily specials, 用蘇皮包住三文魚同sole fish加蔬菜, 好好味, D 擺設又好good, 我地好滿意. 

Lunch後我地諗住繼續去行Museum.  知道Paris有幾間Fashion Museum, 其中Musee De La Mode最出名.  點知去到先發覺佢close咗.  要到10月先re-open.  好失望!  唯有改去附近嘅Bacarrat Museum啦.  點知... Tuesday係佢嘅休息日, 只有restaurant開.  我都有friend recommend呢間restaurant, 因為佢D食物好精緻, 所有器具都係Bacarrat水晶.  可惜, 我地又唔餓... 

再改行程...轉去Opera附近, 食下tea, 行下街.  途中見到紀念Princess Diana同Dodi Al-Fayed, 位於Pont De L'alma嘅紀念像.  8月31日係佢地逝世10週年, 所以個紀念像有好多花同messages.  時間真係過得好快, 咁就10年啦!

離開Paris前最後一個dinner, 我地當場要食好野啦!  我地一早揀咗食田螺, book咗一間連個名都叫"田螺"嘅L'Escargot餐廳.  雖然佢係一間小餐廳, 但係整個環境, 服務, 出品都好有class (連價錢都係!).  佢D Escargot好味, 其他食物都好yummy!
