I've been busy like a bee! With work, with Brother's wedding... and the charity performance coming up tomorrow..!

My brother is getting married tomorrow, so its been rather nerve-wrecking for the family because of the number of invites that have to sent out and the things that have to be done. But its so exciting! We had rehersals yesterday and there were many hiccups here and there but I'm sure its going to be Purrrr-FECT on SAT! Sat's the church wedding and Monday's the dinner which is kinda weird but pretty good because then we still have Sunday to plan for Monday's wedding dinner. =)

After my brother's wedding i have to rush down for the Charity Concert at Guang Ming Shan. I think most of you know that I'm actually Christian, so why am i performing at the temple? Well, its for charity, and its a non-religious gathering although it is held at a temple. Above all, its about getting more money to Sze Chuan in order to rebuild their city. And every cent will help.

When i was in Japan, I visited Nagasaki. And Nagasaki was where the US dropped an atomic bomb on in 1945 during World War 2. Nagasaki was completely destroyed. Its people were turned into ashes and even after a long time, radiation remained in the city causing health issues and killing people.

But after 63 years, the city has been COMPLETELY rebuilt. Even better than before, its a beautiful place with houses built on hills and mountains, with Hots springs scattered around, with really good and cheap food. I had my best meal there. =) And don't think Nagasaki rebuild by itself. It also required the goodwill and generous donations from many countries who were shocked by the Evil that the atomic bomb could cause. Maybe Nagasaki could have eventually rebuild itself without any help, but there's no doubt that because of goodwill of so many people from around the world, Nagasaki was reborn in less than a century.

One day, I'll take a trip to Sze Chuan, maybe when I'm like 60 years old with loose teeth, and it'll be a really really nice place, and I'll remember that I played basketball, Sang at Guang Ming Shan and donated money to help rebuild this place.

Oh, I really rambled on didn't I. Haha... Alrite, I've gotta go get my hair trimmed, and then its rehersals for the entire day! Oh! And manicure with mummy hahaha....

Nagasaki,
the view we saw outside the train station.

Nagasaki's hill top houses.
We stayed in a Ryokan that was at the top of a hill, we had to
take a bus ride up and the roads up were so small i was so afraid the
bus was going to fall off!

Where the bomb fell.

Peace! Peace! No more War!

And since i was not in the previous Peace Picture,
Here's me with my equivalent.
