"Not that I have already
obtained all this,
or have already been
made perfect, but I press
on to take hold of that for
which Christ Jesus
took hold of me.
Brothers, I do not
consider myself yet
to have taken hold
of it. But one thing
I do: Forgetting what
is behind and straining
toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the
goal to win the prize
for which God has called
me heavenward in
Christ Jesus.
" -philippians 3:12-14

    Movies!


    watched "Outlander' last night after my lesson! It's supposed to be quite-a low budget movie, (their official website is on wordpress. HAHA) but i've seen some rather good critics for it!








    anyways, before you believe me and rush off to see it now, it's a sci-fi action movie about Vikings versus aliens! :D Compositing, visual effects --my kind of thing! :D i chose it over a romance comedy! :D

    heh, anyways, it's a good movie!

    Watched "Underworld' last week! if you like the previous 'underworld's, this would be nice for you! :D

    Before the throne of God


    Before The Throne Of God Above

    Before the throne of God above
    I have a strong and perfect plea.
    A great high Priest whose Name is Love
    Who ever lives and pleads for me.
    My name is graven on His hands,
    My name is written on His heart.
    I know that while in heaven He stands
    No tongue can bid me thence depart.
    No tongue can bid me thence depart.


    When Satan tempts me to despair
    And tells me of the guilt within,
    Upward I look and see Him there
    Who made an end to all my sin.
    Because the sinless Savior died
    My sinful soul is counted free.
    For God the just is satisfied
    To look on Him and pardon me.
    To look on Him and pardon me.


    Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
    My perfect spotless righteousness,
    The great unchangeable I AM,
    The King of glory and of grace,
    One in Himself I cannot die.
    My soul is purchased by His blood,
    My life is hid with Christ on high,
    With Christ my Savior and my God!

    One in Himself I cannot die.
    My soul is purchased by His blood,
    My life is hid with Christ on high,
    With Christ my Savior and my God!

    Just for laughs


    I am very happy with the specs i bought at 65 bucks (which include multicoat, computer, and ultra thin lenses!!!) . Suits a nerd like me! -O-O- and it's VALUE FOR MONEY!






    As mentioned above, it is suitable for my

    • serious look
    • bashful look
    • hardworking/nerdy look, as well as the
    • i'm-very-happy-with-my-glasses look!
    did that during my break from work. I have NO LIFE! haha.

    Bye off to do work again!

    Music woes


    Another recent assignment - planning, storyboarding and making the animatics for a MTV. Required to choose any song of our choice and come up with an original plot (i guess?)

    -_____- choosing music is a a hassle for me cos i only listen to christian music -...- and if i choose a bad piece, then i wont be able to do the MTV properly! T-T anyways, I asked Ben if he know any - apparently we only have a handful of non-christian songs that we know off -..- T-T anyways, happy that there is Jason Mraz!!!! just listened to any some random Jason Mraz songs online and i found something near to what i wanted. HEH!!!

    and my MTV music is playing in the background in the blog ! *wink

    woot


    It's been a busy week! and more deadlines coming up, but happy that the assignments are all interesting, though tedious!

    Whole of Saturdays are usually spent in church. But now there's another drummer, i dont have to play every week! wakakakaka! had a good worship meeting after service(after eeons!), and a nice dinner with ben at novena :D nice dinner is therapeutic for our tired minds and bodies! :D waKAKAK!


    Today a small group of us went to BLK 26 at Sin ming to offer to pray for the sick and needy. Never expected there to be a place like that near bishan -.- Blk 26 is a studio flat filled with 'outcasts'.. people with mental illnesses, very poor and very old people. Their apartments only consists of a main living room and a toilet.

    So we split into 2 groups(7 of us) and prayed that God would open doors for us, and went knocking on doors to wish the people happy new year and ask if they have any needs we can pray for.

    Were very happy that God opened 4 non-christian families to pray ! 1 muslim family who has a grandma who is terminally ill in hospital, 1 old lady who has no kids to take care of her, and an aunty who lives with her sister, as well as a crippled uncle who has 2 mentally-ill boys who are 20+. It's heart wrenching to hear their stories and see how they live. But we are very thankful that so far, these doors are opened, and prayerfully, as we visit and pray for them, they may encounter the true hope and life that is in Christ alone.

    It's quite tough to share the gospel unashamed, but step by step, God will path our ways and work in us such that love for the lost overwhelms us so much that we will not be ashamed...
