Brussels, Beligum (arriving from UK via EuroStar)

I managed to get out early enough from work and arrived at the Eurostar station on time. So I quickly browsed around the food court and see if I can get anything good to eat. There was no surprise and I can't find anything good to eat. So I only grabbed some pastries and thought there is something to eat on the train.

Next time, I know I'll go to the tuck-shop-like stall on the train to buy food before the train even departs. Most of the normal food was gone and the pesron in front of me bought the last sandwiches ... so I finally only got a chocolate cake and a cup of tea.

So I arrived the Gare Du Central station, with the experience of my last Paris' trip, I was very cautious going to which platform and getting on which train with the confusion of French. Interesting enough, this main station has 2 types of train .. one kind (likes the muni here or LRT in HK) goes thru the middle of the platform and the other kind (likes our Bart or MTR in HK) goes thru the side of the platform. So that takes me a while to figure out and I still went on the wrong one 'cos they don't list all the station somehow ...

At around 12 o'clock, I finally arrived on the West-End of the city, which later I discovered that it's like a more "hip" or wealthier side of city, that's full of nice boutique and restaurant. Picture shown was taken right at the surface of underground the next morning. Quick is the Beligum clone of "McDonald", but more popular and localized than "McDonald".

"Hm ... Donar kabab ... huh !?"

I guess I'll never and never eat any donar kabab .. or might be all kinds of kabab ...

My co-worker Ian suggested to go to a kabab place for lunch ... the one that is always on my way from hotel to the tube station, so of course I opted in together with Alex. My Russian co-worker Alex also picked the donar kabab and we went back to the office to eat it. It felt kinda strange 'cos they both finished their own kabab in 10 or 15 minutes. But mine is like never-finished ... no matter how fast I eat, it seems the same size .. so they went back to the seat without waiting for me ... and as usual, I'm like a goldfish, not sure when to stop. I had to eat with coke so I can finish more ... oh well.

I started to feel weird about 4 o'clock .. and felt like I wanna go, but can't go ... u know ... and finally I was so tired and went back to hotel at around 6. I threw up heavily ... I don't think I ever done that before ... I felt like I'm one of those "ghost" in those horror movie that spit out tons and tons of water. So my nice contemporary toilet in hotel became a mess, the donar kabab smell that stayed with me for the next 2 weeks were everywhere ...

I decided to call the SOS Worldwide, see how much I get covered if they send a doctor in or if I go to the hospital. And I tried ordering some hot liquid to eat, and un-surprisingly, the only soup they have is CREAM of mushroom .. haha. So I ordered a hot tea ... for my first time ever, like a wealthy person, ordered room service and they charge me 2.5 pounds for tea and 2 pounds for room service. Hm ... a tea-bag tea costs over US $9.

Finally, I think I better go to hospital by cab, so hotel got a cab for me and he just took me to wherever the closet hospital, which I think it's called "Barts and the London". Time was arbout 1040 I think. Dragging my tiring body, I kinda slowly crawled around and see where the A&E is ... it was quite scary at first to me, I was the only Asian while the other patients are mostly arabic ... and some lady carrying a baby cut in line in front of me ... and what can I say ... I don't want to argue ... i just have no strength.

After 20-30 minutes, I finished all the paperworks and they directed me to a waiting area, where I eventually got a chair to lie down after 40 minutes of standing ... and I was on and off slept and hoping htat it's my turn ... i think i started to feel better .. haha ... 'cos I managed to feel thirsty ...

So don't know when ... probably like 1 or 2 in the monring, i finally got to see a nurse, and they took some blood and urine from me for testing. The doctor finally came to see me after an hour of waiting in the room. He wants me to do IV (or drip or watever it's called) for hydration. Since I started to feel much better, i used the cellphone to take some pictures ... it probably means that I'm kinda recovered.

So they don't know what happpened, but since I have to wait for the blood result to come back ... I have to stay ... so I lied in the bed for 1 hour and half ... and I walked down and asked them when I can go ... and then sent me back .. haha ... so i stayed again and the nurse came by and told me that i am going to the ward ... gosh ... oh well, later I found out from the doctor that someone in A&E was disturbing other patients, so they want to send me away .. haha, it's really quite something.

Anyway ... i got into this single bedroom ... and slept on and off, in between nurse came in and check my temperature. I think around 6 0r 7, the light was all ON and 3 doctors came in with a nurse. I thought something bad must have happened to me ... then one of the doctor checked my body and asked me questions ... and of course, the same thing after everyone see my chart, "Hm ... Donar kabab ... huh!?"

She discharged me finally but I still have to wait for the nurse to come by and take off the IV tube for me ... so I waited and a non-brit lady stop by and asked me what kind of breakfast i want ... and she mumbled something, and I heard congee ... :D Without any hesitation, I want congee .. haha .. i was so surprised that a hospital in London has congee ... oh well .. a congee is actually

Anyway, i tasted 2 spoon and I had to give up ... sorry ... the same lady came back for the used bowl and she was so disappointed to see my almost-full-bowl ... she said to me, "oh ... u didn't like my congee ... argh ... it's my first time making it ... ". Oh well ...

So I finally got to leave the hospital and I called a cab and headed back to the hotel and stayed there for the day ... I asked my boss whether Alex has any problem ... his response is "he can't be any stronger" ... :D

"Hm ... Donar kabab ... huh !?"

撒旦向全世界的邪靈招開了一之會議

Quoted from a friend's xanga.

一開始牠便說:「我們不能繼續讓基督徒返教會。不能繼續讓他們讀聖經並從中知道真理。我們更不能讓他們可以與他們的救主耶穌有一個親密的關係。因為只要他們與耶穌相知相愛,我們的勢力就必定盪然無存。所以讓他們返教會但偷去他們的時間以致他們雖彷彿活在耶穌中,但卻無法與耶穌基督建立真實的關係。這就是我今次開會的目的了。」

接著繼續說:「分散他們對救主的專注及維持他們所有時間都是在那種與主耶穌似有實無的關係中」其中一個邪靈叫道: 「我們可以怎樣做到呢?」

撒旦回答:「不斷讓他們忙碌著一些對他們生命不必要的事並且為他們炮製無窮無盡的計謀去充斥他們的思想。」繼續說:「引誘他們不斷的消耗、消耗、消耗，不斷的借、借、借」。「說服他們的妻子們去做一份長時間的工作及他們的丈夫一星期做足七日每日工作至少10-12個鐘頭,以致他們大家完全無法享受生活及無時間陪伴他們的兒女。只要他們的家庭快快被破壞, 他們自己就連這個可以舒緩他們從工作中得的壓力的地方都無了。」

「極度刺激他們的思想以致他們無法聽到神微少的聲音。誘使他們在任何地方都開著聽著收音機或其他音響器材。讓他們的TV電視機、VCR錄影機、CDs鐳射碟及PCs電腦不停在他們的家播放, 不單如此,更要在他們身邊所有接觸的環境包括餐廳、店舖都不停播放著不屬神的音樂。這樣就會阻塞他們的腦筋及打挎他們與耶穌的聯合。」

「為他們的咖啡桌工作桌充斥各種各類的雜誌及報紙。要用各種各類的新聞24小時的將他們的腦筋搗碎。用各類型的廣告牌入侵他們的駕駛時候。」「在他們的信箱及行街時塞滿不同種類無用的宣傳單張、新聞信息、優惠贈卷、產品試用及思想傳播叫他們睇都睇死他們、用都用死他們為止。」

「不斷讓那些骨廋如柴又美麗的模特兒充斥在雜誌及電視上好叫他們的丈夫們相信外邊的女士總是更有吸引力、以致他們開始對自己的妻子不滿足。讓他們的妻子又因忙碌過度到不能在晚上時愛他們的丈夫，不單如此, 讓她們亦有頭痛。若果她們不能給予她們丈夫需要的愛，他們就會開始另覓新歡，這樣可以很快的破壞他們的家庭。」

「給他們製造一個名叫聖誕老人的人物擾亂他們正確教導他們子女聖誕節的真正意思。在復活節時為他們設計復活蛋及復活兔以致他們不會再講耶穌的救贖及耶穌勝過死亡和罪的能力。」「就是他們的娛樂也不要放過, 讓他們玩樂得過份而倦死。讓他們因太忙碌而無法到大自然欣賞神的創造。取而代之, 給他們各種各類新奇的公園,運動項目,電影, 音樂會,最重要是叫他們過度沉迷。忙碌、忙碌、忙碌。」

「切記用那些似是而非, 無關痛癢甚至他們會認為有意義的事擠擁他們的生命以致他們毫無時間去尋求耶穌的能力。不要多久, 他們就會很快的用自己以為有的能量(己力)來生活甚至不惜犧牲他們的健康及家庭, 只是為了那些似是而非, 無關痛癢甚至他們會認為有意義的事, 這是必定可行的，這是必定可行的。」

這個似乎是一個可行的計劃!邪靈們已經熱烈地開始好叫那些全世界信耶穌的人愈來愈忙碌, 愈來愈匆忙,走來走去, 都不知道正在做什麼。然後我們就會發現愈來愈少時間給神及神為我們預備的家庭。更加無時間去告知其他人關於耶穌的能力可改變生命。

我想問題是:「撒旦的計劃是否真的會成功呢?」你的決定將會成為牠計劃的成與敗。你可知道Busy 的意思嗎?

Farewell ... L Jeh ... grow strong and live a good life

I don't know whether it's really a good friend of mine leaving made me so moody and sad today, or just lack of sleep, or worries of life ...

I really don't know what I want to do, why I'm feeling that, or it's just the 'unhappy side of me' coming out all of the sudden.

All I wanna do now is to focus on my work ... but all I want to do now is to go out and stare at the very nice blue sky and listen to sad songs.

L Jeh ... I didn't realize you have so much impact to all of us, not until u step inside the custom door. All I can do is to make stupid, silly jokes ... or talked about this and that with Shamson and Lucian to avoid myself burst out any tears. I know everyone was trying really hard and I know you did too. I guess that's true to every tiny thing in our lives, we dunno how important it is until we about to lose it.

不要走　大鐘即使敲響　你別放開手　
成年後　什麼都不可再　有成人遷就　
不要走　前去在人群內　會磨鍊到夠　
可見將來　日子總會有　順逆流　
不過此時　獲得的愛顧　無私愛顧　未夠

Take good care ah .. and I wish you can achievewhat you want and come back soon la ...

Tax ...

Just finished my tax and kept reviewing it these days, can't believe the IRS and State Gov owe me that much. I am glad that I worked on it earlier this year. This is the new $10 bill released today ... hm ... counting how many of these I'm going to get from my return .. yeah !!!

Toaster from NETGEAR !???!?

.

Today I saw a deal about this "toaster" for over 100 bucks ... of course wasn't too surprised about the price since there is some english-made toaster costs over 200 bucks .. haha ... can't believe it

But this one ... eh ... from NETGEAR ... I almost thought I will be out of work soon since such a big tech gear manufacture has to manufacture kitchen-ware. :D Luckily this is just a "Storage Central NAS" ... looks quite cool ah, and funny thing is it also has 2 slots ... the guy who designed this must get the idea from a TOASTER !!!!!! Anyway ... it just worths me a little giggle this morning.
