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.

There are a lot of missionaries living in Cambodia, from America, aussie, canada, new zealand, japan, korea... many have lived here for many years.. It is hard to stay in a foreign, poor country for many years.. anyways, today Dad saw on facebook 2 missionary kids who were feeling down, and he sent me and Danny to go out with them. I am really happy and proud to work with such a loving family..even though there are so many kids at home, Dad was generous enough to let us go out to accompany them. By your love they will know that You are my disciples. Labels: testimonies, thoughts/reflections Quite happy even though my grades are (quite drastically) lower than last sem's, and i got my first C. But i am very thankful! ESPECIALLY THAT I PASSED MY MECHATRONICS HAHA:D Barely slept last night.. but i was glad to be able to take the unusually long time ( which i will never get in Singapore) to pray, and it was a wonderful time! Visions and encouragement! Labels: testimonies Has been a tiring day! went for dental early in the mornin and had to wait 6 hours to collect my retainers... anyways i am happy that the braces are gone!first meal after braces was Seoul Garden! was happily chomping on meats, crunchy away on papardums and eating rice!! dinner at home and spent time with my little niece and mama .. i hope she doesnt forget me when i come back!! last minute packing before i leave for Cambodia 4.45am for 2 weeks. Going with mixed feelings, honestly - some excitement, joy, uncertainty and worry... keep me in your prayers!  this fish is so weird!!!!!  this is a batfish!! SO FUNNY!!!  this octopus is also weird!!!!  Tarsiers have never formed successful breeding colonies in captivity, and when caged tarsiers have been known to injure and even kill themselves due to stress- (the tarsier cannot come ADM) one of my most most favourite bible verses is in John..in fact it is my most favourite book... it's the last line that concludes the whole book.. Jn 21: 25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written... which reminds me of one of my favourite songs!
Cannot say enough
- Mercyme Labels: music, thoughts/reflections i had a tongue twister challenge with Ben after lunch today. it is simply HILARIOUS. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8136/tonguetwisters.html i remembered my teachers used to play those with us when i was in primary school! AHHHhhh ..the good ol days... try these! Which witch wished which wicked wish? Many an anemone sees an enemy anemone. (this is cute!) I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit. A big black bug bit a big black bear, made the big black bear bleed blood. Mix, Miss Mix! k have fun!!! :D i have my eyes on 3 recipes!!!! - fudge truffle cheesecake - skillet beef and macaroni - molten chocolate cake it will be done as soon as i come back! :) BENJAMIN WONG PREPARE TO GET FAT! Labels: food i think 10 years ago, God gave Stephen a vision that from blk 26 there will arise a congregation of worshippers :) So until now, he has been steadfastly and consistently visiting blk 26, caring for the poor, mentally ill and physically handicapped... Now we join him in the ministry and God is opening many doors for us - sometimes the amount of financial help they need (to take care of bills, daily needs) overwhelms us..but i am really thankful that God has allowed us to build bonds with them and to help them in whatever way we can, and they have also very kindly allowed us to pray blessings over them.. Prayerfully and hopefully these seeds will grow beautifully. Anyways, i want to talk about a great work that God has done in one of the residents' life! this uncle has been suffering from epileptic fits since he was young. One day during a visit, Paul and Stephen prayed for him, and his epileptic fits started to go away and within months it was completely gone. And because of that this uncle accepted Christ! all glory to God! :) this is the kingdom come :D Labels: ministry, missions, testimonies within the past 3 weeks i have finished watching ANTM season 1, 5, 7, 10, 11 and watching season 12! And criminal minds, just waiting for the new one on tudou! happy to relax, but not happy that i am slothful. THANKS TO BEN WHO HELPED ME EMBED MY ! my mama has been taking care of my little niece on weekdays.. i have lots of fun playing with her! Super Girl  this is adorable!  Oreo cheese pie was a success!!! was feeling insecure about it at first, but after freezing, it was heavenly! hahaha made 3 batches, all gone in 5 days! Here's the recipe : i changed the strawberry cheesepie to an oreo one with an oreo crust, folding in crushed oreos into the mixture when it's done.  i dont really fancy non-bake recipes, but this is really good and easy! Labels: food Getting a good break now before i start on my personal project, just wanna sleep, and recharge for now :D Neeways, have been watching Dvds of some animations which i had missed; dvds are great, they include the 'making' which has concept art and storyboards to study and drool at! : Igor  I loved Igor! very quirky character designs, as if each little house has a life of its own! Storyline was cute, great directing and compositions and animation was also great! LOOK AT HIM, HE IS JUST SO CUTE LAH. the emo rabbit is very funny also. Dragonhunters  Storyline was average, but it was simply beautiful. The landscape is mesmerising, and imaginative - made up of a world of floating lands. SIMPLY, SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL , even if the story was not great, the landscape will take your breath away. haha. The Spirit  Also watched 'the Spirit' , it's not an animation, but the style.... it's like a live graphic novel? The style is very similar to Sin City... i think it's a cool style with cool narration. Maybe abit cheesy sometimes, but i guess it's action humor?haha. The CG and live action were composited very well... By the way, in the past 2 weeks, me and ben has watched 2 movies, and 4 dvds! Labels: animations/special fx My final project 'Hunch' , lasted almost 2 months since preproduction to post production. This was the reason why i stayed over in school for the last 3 weeks! technique: i used pastels, and a draw and erase method. so after i finish drawing frame 1, i brush it off, and draw frame 2 over it. this leaves traces of the previous frames on the paper la. of course the limitations (i learnt) is that i cannot have to complicated colors, and too many frames, if not the paper will start tearing as i erase and the paper will not take in the pastels well. and it also means i cannot make any mistakes! cos i will have to restart. i actually felt that this was like a 4d project haha. my workspace!  i 'hid' my camera in a plastic bag so no one would touch it!  bad camera quality, but u get the idea: this is my cubicle, i have a Mac, a camera, lights, walls.  the work table. there is a box to contain my pastel erasings. i seriously think that if i continued doing this project i would die from the inhalation of chalk particles. I sneezed like crazy on my first few days of starting work. that's my F&N drinks, penknife to sharpen the chalk ( it is a disgusting thing to do!) and lightbox. it's messy! Some screen stills:  Labels: work SPECIAL THANKS TO BEN FOR HELPING ME WITH THE WEB LAYOUT! This is a still shot from my digital compositing final project -.- the whole file was 7.7 GB! hahaha the (very slow) mac in school says transfer will take 3 hours. am quite happy with the final result la. Exposing trade secrets - the cityscape is a still image, background is a ramp with 2 colors, with animated clouds, crane is handdrawn via photoshop, flame is visual effect,rooftop is still photo and i was green-screened. lights added via the programme. done in Shake software. The time consuming part was color correction, tracking movements, and ALOT OF DETAILS! but i love my prof! he is DAM ZAI!  Labels: work COMPLAIN TIME! This was an assignment for one of our modules: stopmotion animation - papercut animation this sem, (just) 3weeks to complete including preproduction (planning, storyboarding), production (animating) and post-production (compiling, editing, sound). that's a brief look at the number of photos i took! lighting, animating do finish le back always so pain cos i have to bend and take photo, then arrange all the paper bit by bit, make sure things are in place, REDO if anything went out of place. so now i am really quite sick of taking photos haha. somemore have to REDO. -.- i didnt really like this one. i tink i only like my final project!       a few hours of work would look like this -.- Labels: work i wanted to eat pumpkin pie so bad and it's hard to find in Singapore, so i baked it myself. hahaha. I ate this in Cambodia but it's American la. haha.
It tasted real good!!! well, people either love or hate pumpkin pie. Unfortunately ben doesn't even like pumpkin. hahah. ANYWAYS it's great to have a craving satisfied haha (pats own tummy). Err, was too lazy to take proper pretty photos haha.  pumpkin peekaboo  dough waiting to be rolled  pie skin waiting to go into pie(tart) tray  pie waiting to be baked!! After baking, cool, chill, then all done! supposed to serve with whipped cream haha.  Labels: food Caught two badass movies recently :  XMEN: WOLVERINE was awesomely awesome. Ingenious details, badass visual effects and compositing ( i was doing a compositing breakdown throughout the whole movie) , great directing- perspectives, depth! , and of course great acting! Hugh jackman was incredible and i thought gambit was quite close to the original! except that he looks a wee bit like willy wonka. lols. but it was so badass! all the way from the start to the end we were glued to our seats! Fast and Furious: i thought the front was abit slow, but other than that the action was awesome! very smart and creative stunts, and i loved the tunnel sequence!!!  GO VISUAL EFFECTS AND COMPOSITING!!! Labels: animations/special fx for the last 3 weeks of school, i stayed over and worked the nights ; was barely back home for tuitions and church for those weeks. this is wat my locker became!!! at first it was a resting place for my stuff, then it started to become a camping/shower locker! HA HA HA.  spot the differences as the days go by! sleeping shorts, more pillows, sleeping bag, jacket, shower stuff put out for easier access. hahah |
