More & More Students are leaving UK For Good!! =(

Recently there have been so many students leaving us as they graduate and now go back to HK for good! It's so sad to see them leaving, specially those who had been in UK for a long while where the friendship and fellowship had been built strongly. Hope that we will still be in touch in future and have fun in HK when we meet again!

Also thanks God for giving me the opportunity to serve in student group this year. I was so scared at first to serve them with the age difference, but thanks God we can built up the fellowship where most of cell member would share openly, would support and pray for each other. They also make me feel so young and energetic, ha ha ha.. I really enjoyed this year!!! Will miss you all and see you in HK!

How confident are you???

I watched a TV programme this evening called 'How To Look Good Naked?' which was presented by Gok Wan. He's a fashion designer who shows women how to look fantastic and love who they are with or without their clothes on, and no matter what their body shape (all without a surgeon's scalpel in sight).

The one thing that had an impact on me in tonight's programme is how the attitude and mindset the lady had changed from before the programme to when the programme ended. I believe most woman (including myself) do not have 100% confident in our own body shape or appearance.

Gok Wan showed the lady she could look good with the right style of clothes on no matter what the shape is, he also mentioned so many times that the most important thing is you need to have confident in whoever you are and love who you are (which is very similar to bible message as God created each individual specially and we're beautiful and precious to HIM! HE values how we are inside instead of outside!). Sometimes it's just wonderful being reminded again with this kind of message!   

Experience ~ First Car Boot Sales

I woke up so early yesterday (at around 5.45am) to go to Car Boot Sales near Harrogate, this is my first experience of doing this kind of things. I found it fun (even though I only sold around £20 of stuff) and I've learnt and experienced how hard life it is for those people in HK or China who stand on the street all day trying to sell their products.

When a potential buyer looked at the things on our stand, there was nothing we can do apart from trying to say how perfect or new the product is, but the decision whether to buy or not is still up to them. The moment they decided to buy the product is very exciting and happy, but when nobody came to your stand it could feel really sad and desperate for sales!

Unfortunately the weather wasn't too nice yesterday, it was very windy and cool but thanks God it didn't rain. Otherwise, we would have to quickly put everything back to the car. There weren't many public buyers who came to Car Boot Sales yesterday and we think it's because of the windy weather. My friend told me normally this place is quite busy.

I sold quite a lot of board games yesterday but there were a bit of panic yesterday. When the buyer agreed to buy the MiWii, I found out that inside the box, it didn't have the adapter but the kid so want it that he tried to persuade his father to buy. Therefore, my clever friend said to him we'll deliver the adapter to him, luckily they just live near to my home.

I also nearly sold a fitness ball and dvd set but when I opened the box, I found out the bump went missing, so the buyer couldn't buy it at the end. I can't believer I'm so careless and I learnt a lesson that I should check and make sure all components are in the box before I sell it. Andy my husband just laughed at me when he found out the two mistakes I made, I found it funny too, ha ha ha..

I don't think I would be that excited to go to Car Boot Sales for the second time as the time and effort put into this I could be doing other things to make money. This is a very good experience in life though!

Car Boot Sales!!!

I had been really busy today trying to gather all stuff for Car Boot Sales tomorrow. For some reason, I'm looking forward to this experience as I haven't been to any Car Boot Sales before. Hopefully I can sell most of the stuff that I take to there and have some pocket money. Most importantly I would like to get rid of all those stuff in my house, so it gives more space and less rubbish! ha ha.....

There is also other thing I like to do at weekend, which is to research on some Wedding Venues for my engaged friends. So many happy news around, lots of them are engaged and would like to know where are the Wedding Venues in Leeds! Therefore, I would like to share some more later on. Now need to go to bed and prepare for the early morning start tomorrow at Car Boots Sales! Have a great weekend!
