Shenzhen Memories !

20260123 Zhuhai day Trip!

 

Left Macau for Zhuhai and Shenzhen !

1. Shocking to see that we were the only 4 humans at the land crossing to Zhuhai from Macau! So quiet!!!!

2. ⁠Saw the 40km HK-Zhuhai long above sea bridge as we cabbed from Macau to ZH. 

3. ⁠Spent half a day at Zhuhai to look see:) Their Moon Oyster Opera theatre was quite a sight. BIG. There was a heli ride for 3 min @ about S$75 for an aerial view of this. Their New Summer replica palace was so so. “Donated” rm10 for a name poem which was quite chim ! 😂 his job at stake now with AI!

4. ⁠The SZ bridge was quite a new one. Construction started 2016. But only opened in 2024! Upon approaching the Sz , had to go under for 5km as the sea route cos the sea route required for passing ships etc. Really helped to cut the timing from ZH to SZ to less than 1 hour 20 min!

5. ⁠Went to Wanxiang QianHai mall and saw so many beautiful cats! Fat furry. Chubby. ! cat petting for RM38 an hour! More than 100 cats in the arena! Gorgeous furry fellows. Almost wanted to have a pet too! But too late after dinner last nite ! 😂

20260123 Macau Experience

 First time in Macau!

1.Macau's total area is approximately 30.5 km² (one of the smallest regions in the world) The territory consists of the Macau Peninsula and two islands, Taipa and Coloane, which are now connected by reclaimed land 

2. Population only about 700k

3. Old town @ Senado Square boast of history of Portuguese way back in 1800s with the ruins of St Paul’s under restoration now. 

4.  Is it a City of Dreams for those wanting to be rich? 😂 Massive impressive  hotels with huge casinos on their entrances. All located at Cotai Area.  A mini Vegas I was told!

5. And if you haven’t been to Europe? Perhaps their mock ups of London , Paris and Venice can be a good option to walk around! 😆 Night scenes pretty!

5. Bus fares is about RMB 6 per pax per journey. Taxis from airport to our hotel was about RMB70. Cos Macau is a small place. 😝 

So we did a quick Macau in one day! Taipa, Senado, Coloane and Cotai!

20260120- Matt16: 5574 yeast & bread

 Matthew 16:1–28 (ESV): 16 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed. 

5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” 8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 11 How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 

13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ. 

21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” 

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

REFLECTIONS 

1. More important to learn to interpret the signs of times than the appearance of the sky

2. Learn to  guard the yeast and not the bread ie be discerning to the teachings of man

3. Learn not to forfeit our souls in exchange for the gain of the world  Better to be rewarded by our Father according to what we have done 

Amen
