"ni ju mut gai"

so for the past few days i was in shenzhen and visited my 'hakka' reloz..i.e. my reloz on my dad's side. Hakka = guest familes = the name of my dads heritage/people

everytime i do come here i see how tough the people got it here ..and need to remind myself that being an aussie is such a massive blessing and not to take such things for granted in life. The past days the 'rushness' has really got to us. Esp my brother being so snappy and cocky..i try not to encourage by saying 'don't worry' and not saying anything when he vents out.

I told my auntie that i wanted to check out the big church at Wan chai where apparently a fair amount of CCCers attend. She isn't christian im sure but i think it will be a great oppurtunity for her to ask any questions she has and put me to the test to step up! I got back and met grandpa..he's such a funny man and hasn't really changed in the humour department since last time i saw him in '03. I think an old person thing where they act like a child sometimes asking silly questions yet knowing the answers.

Anyways i was wearing my 'Jesus is my homeboy' shirt and he asked who the person on it (Jesus) was. I told him it was Jesus and he acknowledged my belief and ask me if he fought my battles..well at least thats wat i thought he asked me. I asked him what he believed in and he said himself. I admitted myself that i was like that (yet still am now) before i became a believer..he asked if my parents believed either but i said no..

i need to work on something..and i always feel crap after for having such a half arsed effort about things.. but at least its on my mind at the moment..

btw..with this blog's topic..that means "what are you doing" in Hakka.. i found it real funny coz my auntie said that to one of the kiddies while playing mahjong and they did an illegal move in the game i think..
