see it wide

The long weekend was a great respite from all the Monday blues. Somehow I feel I ain’t doing enough at work. My colleague has been staying and doing overtime and I’ve been going home either on the dot or slightly later. But it seems that I’ve done all my stuff, planned all my stuff and given ideas and things seem to be going on as scheduled… But whatever it is, I’m moving on… My first training session starts next week and I need to sit down and rethink my programme. Aiya, if things can get as brainless as the serving as an NSF..whahaha :p

And oh, some bird flew into my room on Monday and got stuck in my room. So in my bid (and my mom’s) to chase it out, the bird got so scared that it poo-ed all over the window grille and on the floor… Like the Chinese say, 帕到大便。。And we spent the whole morning cleaning my room up! Silly bird. Haha!

Finally got my wide angle lens for my camera on Saturday And my unsuccessful light painting experiment on Friday night. Haha

A coincidence to see Pamela at City Hall. I was plugged into my iPod and didn’t manage to hear her calling me. It was great chatting up. I was waiting for my wide angle lens seller and she was waiting for her Birkenstock buyer.

I better get to sleep soon. It is a long day tomorrow – sending in my nikon d80 for cleaning before Rudy and Christine’s big day. Documenting their wedding this Saturday

I wanna be Your best friend. I wanna know You more…

blue skies

On days of gray
When doubt clouds my view
Its so hard to see past my fears
My strength seems to fade
And its all I can do
To hold on, till the light reappears.
Still, I believe though some rain’s bound to fall
That you’re here next to me
And you’re over it all.

Lord, the sky’s still blue
For my hope is in you
You’re my joy, You’re the dream thats still alive
Like the wind at my back
And the sun on my face
You are life,You’re grace.
You are blue skies, You’re my blue skies

When nights are long
Seems the dark has no end
Still we walk on in the light of the truth
For waiting beyond, where the morning begins
Is the dawn, and your mercy anew.
Oh, to believe we’re alive in your love
There is so much to see, if we keep looking up.

You filled the heavens with hope and a higher love
A picture of promise for life.
Blue Skies – Point Of Grace

1 john 3:16

I have lots of things running through my mind but yet I do not know how to put it down in words. It has been a week, a long one actually – And I know it has not been easy for some either. I will by lying if I would say it is easy for me.

I pondered about the passion and the feeling that Jesus felt at Gethsemane, when He prayed to His Father for the lost sheep, the disciples and for you and I. If you are reading this and you are from a Christian youth ministry, how does it feel when your leaders tells you when he/she loves (Godly love) you? Sure it does feel weird and incomprehensible.

And for leaders, it surely does not take a small effort to name everyone in your cell and your ministry team in prayer, but out of love you do it – I’ve realised it’s not easy afterall. To be frank, I struggled.

And amazing how in Jn 3:16

16“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

And in 1Jn 3:16

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

And in Matthew22:37

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

And just as the Shepherd who is willingly to lay down His life for his sheep. Ain’t it amazing? This one great message that was revealed to me this week.

With many sessions of training coming up the following month, bet it won’t be easy. My first public lesson is due next month in Orchard. I’ve touched most of the digital still cameras, and I can use one of the models with my eyes closed – exaggerating… but the work has been fun, learning new things everyday. Tiring and draining yet staying positive and relying on God’s grace and favour certainly helps.

And I can smell the nice scent of the monsoon these few days. And oh how I miss just daydreaming at the window with the raindrops pelting down. I love meeting up with old friends – poly friends. And you see how much everyone has moved on.

In life, people you know may become pilots, army officers, managers, MLM agents, teachers, project leaders, clueless ones and all you have out there … comparing how much one earns, how one is successful. It’s all about the choices you make in life, your goal in life and your calling. I sometimes find myself caught up in all these comparing. But I indeed take heed that He will finish the good work He has started in us…

And for a long post, I think I deserve some rest and I shall let my thoughts stop here…
