偶然遇見的驚喜

（国）
过去走遍天涯千万里
曾经跌倒了，爬不起
多少无助的眼泪，多少心碎
都会让我好想就此放弃

彷徨中，发现热忱的手臂
人海里遇见你，多惊喜
前面就算路漫长，有你陪伴
下不完的风雪，也觉美丽

能在绝望孤独中偶然遇见你
是我最不配接受的福气
迎面荆棘再多，必可冲破
因有你不断给我勇气 我勇气

无尽的恩惠，永不忘记

（粵)
曾經踏遍路途千萬里
途中跌倒過攀不起
無望的心感困累全然交悴
無助身軀早已沒有力氣

徬徨中遇見熱忱的膀臂
人潮中碰到祢多驚喜
前路即使千呎浪得祢在身旁
縱使呼呼風雨仍覺甚美

能在絕望孤單中偶然遇到祢
是我根本不配受的福氣
來日禍困迎面滿途挑戰
能贈我勇氣完全是祢

年月縱過去未忘掉祢

This is a very nice song, the lyrics especially. God is always there. He appears to us when we search for Him. And His Prescence is a blessing to us which gives up the courage to face tomorrow.

短歌行

This is 短歌行by 曹操。In the movie 赤壁 2， there was one scene when 曹操was reciting this poem. I find it really cool. And it shows 曹操's desire for talent and his political goals.

短歌行 曹操 其一

对酒当歌，人生几何？譬如朝露，去日苦多。

慨当以慷，忧思难忘。何以解忧？唯有杜康。

青青子衿，悠悠我心。但为君故，沉吟至今。

呦呦鹿鸣，食野之苹。我有嘉宾，鼓瑟吹笙。

明明如月，何时可掇？忧从中来，不可断绝。

越陌度阡，枉用相存。契阔谈宴，心念旧恩。

月明星稀，乌鹊南飞，绕树三匝，何枝可依？

山不厌高，海不厌深。周公吐哺，天下归心。

Every Shirt Tells A Story

I was doing spring-cleaning these few days. And when I came across my wardrobe, I had to classify my clothes. I classified them into a few sections for my shirts: Pyjamas, Formal Long Sleeves, Casual Long Sleeves, Jackets and Sweaters, Singlets, Home Wear T-Shirts, Polo T-shirts, Casual T-Shirts, and Memories Shirts. (MS).

So let's talk about Memories Shirts, which I gave this name myself. Every Picture tells a dozen word but I would say that behind every shirt, there is a story to share and a memory that sinks into my heart.

Hopefully, i can post their photos and personal recounts or reflections soon one set by one set.

And I just found out something, all my shirts can also be generally be classified into two sections: Given by Others and Force to Buy. i think i never really choose one set of clothes that I like before, never came across or they are too ex bah.

If you have noticed by now, I like plain casual clothes, not those hippie ones. But if I have to wear formal, I disciplined myself to be really formal....even with my SAJC school uniform, I demand myself to button up the top button while wearing the tie which many aren't doing. Why make myself suffer, someone asked me before. I could only say, this is one of my values: Do everything to the tip-top standard whenever possible.

赤壁 2

昨日刚看了赤壁2这部影片。我只能说赞。只是觉得金城武饰演的诸葛亮年轻了点，不过他幽默的台词可说是这部戏的一大卖点。

虽然电影情节与《三国演义》和《三国志》所描写的有些许不同与不吻和之处，但也许是这样许多观众才看得下去吧。毕竟做电影的都是要吸引观众，原来的故事读过了就不新鲜了。

整部赤壁 1 + 2总的来说精彩绝伦，不止视觉效果，连听觉效果都做得不错。演员方面张丰毅饰演的曹操最为出色。造型上，关云长和张飞都不错。再加上金城武的帅气，中村狮童的猛，林志玲的气质。。。还有梁朝伟、赵薇、胡军、张震等演员。赤壁可说是众星云集。

最令我难忘的是草船借箭和火烧连环船的这几幕戏。草船借箭的箭发得夸张但优美。火烧连环船效果出来了。但好像没有看到庞统的戏份（忘了) ， 黄盖也没献计受罚。

Group Bonding Time

This week fellowship is small group bonding time. The rest of the five groups went to Pasir Ris, ECP, Esplanade, SMU Settler's, Boat Quay Minds Cafe respectively while my group is the nearest to the West @ West Coast Recreational Centre.

One thing to thank God about is that almost everyone turned up, even one who have not been with us for a long time. I'm also thankful that new members turned up as well. Hopefully, they could blend into the fellowship environment even more.

We played pool. Pool is a sport. Thus, we played sport. Haha, looks like I am too into detective things and logical flow.

It was so funny, lots of "tyco" (a jump ball to end the game or getting out the maze of opponent balls to score something through the dominoes effect), lots of careless (fail to touch the ball), lots of unfortunate events for some (giving out free ball at the most crucial moment or the white ball enters after the black ball). But it is also a chance for me to take photos. I enjoy taking photos and really loved my camera manual focus function because its auto focus is not good enough. But there are a lot of blur photos, look's like it's time to learn about controlling shutter speed.

After that, we went to the Sumo Jap Restaurant for dinner.

What I have learnt so far from photography?

I am still reading and practising on the basics of photography but I have learnt a lot.



Firstly, although we can freeze a moment with a camera, that moment will not come back anymore. Humans are limited by time. Treasure time, treasure every moment. Cause it will be not be the same the next moment. When time passed, it passed. Humans are so limited. Praise be to the Lord who is not restricted by time, in fact, He created time.



Next, you need a fast reaction time. Sometimes, it is needed to think about the shots and then shoot at the right time. Some says that the first shot is always the best shot?



Third, step by step. Photography really heed this principal. Get the basic right before moving on, if not, it will be hard to change at the end of the day.



Four, thanksgiving. After developing the photographs, I would keep them in a photo album, often accompanied with short journals and reflections. And this allow me to count the many blessings Lord has given.



Fifth, nothing beats God's creation. No matter how good a photographer is, how good his or her skills is, how good the editing technology is...still, nothing is better than seeing with your own eyes. God created human eyes which the human-made camera eye could not be compared with. However, the photos taken already show the wonders of God's creation. And when I see the real thing. That is just....indescripable...God's marvellous creation.

2009 Plan

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! 2008 was not a good year for me but there are still many blessings in disguise. Now, it's time to look ahead. May 2009 be a better year with God's training and blessing.

I should not call this new year resolutions but rather goals and hopes.

1) Stay firm in faith (even through the army life)
2) Equipping with God's word

3) Learn Guitar.
4) Improve in Photography Skills

5) Daily devotions everyday.
