In another Land, new things

August 11, 2008 – 10:09 pm

It seems so surreal. Now, I’m in a foreign land, miles and miles away from home, sitting in front of a white Macbook, with my iPod Touch next to me. Which is so awesome. I’ve always dreamed of a Macbook, and now that it’s here, in front of me, it seems so hard to believe. And it does live up to its hype (generally). Of course, the free iPod Touch is simply great - it’s free after all, and I managed to jailbreak it, so it’s ten times more awesome now.

Anyway, there was church on Sunday, pretty similar to our Youth Worship, what with the people all being stiff and unemotional during praise and worship (which is my style). At least I could understand the pastor preaching, unlike the previous Sunday, where in a fit of boldness, I went by myself to a Cantonese church. I sat there, hoping no one would talk to me and thus notice my inability to communicate or understand Cantonese. But in the end, though I did not know what the pastor was talking about, I was glad I went, because it happened to be Holy Communion Sunday. Away from the comforts of home, God seems ever closer, ever nearer, ever real.

  2. Yeah, the ipod touch is pretty cool. Especially with all the apps you can put on it.
