PS: Just to clear things up...


I've had people asking me about my reasons for leaving HKMC so I guess its better to clear things up before you people start wildly speculating.
First off, it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with any person or group in church. It didn't leave because I was on bad terms with someone, neither is it because of a relationship problem. I was and never will be that shallow to leave just because of any one person or group in Church. Although I may have said or done things which might have left a bad taste in certain people's mouths, but I sincerely hope that you'll forgive me for it.
No member of my family or SKMC forced me to move there. Except perhaps the occasional nagging from my mom (^_^).
Honestly, the main reason I left was probably because of family. On a personal level, I felt that it wasn't good for me to be worshipping in a different church from my family, especially in the long term.
In a sense, there are also more opportunities for me to serve in SKMC compared to HKMC due to the way things are run there. I know that different churches have different ways of doing things and so I am not criticizing either church in anyway at all.
Finally, I guess I needed a fresh start. I felt that I was starting to stagnate a little in HKMC and needed a change of environment. Many things have happened to me in and outside of church and perhaps, it was better for me to leave to further my spiritual and mental growth.

PS to CA: This is a story I heard from a long time ago. I can't really remember it word for word so I'll try my best to type it out.
One day, a father brought his young son to the city for a holiday. It was the boy's first time in the city and he was fascinated by the sounds, lights, the tall buildings and the people. However, it was soon late in the night and it was time for them to leave. As his father drove away from the city, the boy kept looking back at the fascinating city he just left, wondering when was he going to once again be amazed by the sights and sounds. When finally the city was out of sight, the boy turned back, sat down and complained to his father, "Now that the city is gone, all I will see is an endless stretch of road before we reach home..."
His father replied, "Had you just faced the front instead of looking back at the city, you would have seen a beautiful sunrise..."
Never look back at what is already lost and miss the beautiful sunrise in front of you. Live for yourself and never give up on your dreams.
